Spartak Moscow away in the CL

[Doc_Piptorious]

Even a full strength Spartak team we should be well capable of beating tbh.


Three points and all the travelling support home safe is what is wanted.

Same amount of keepers as centre backs. We're one knock away from disaster!

Depends who gets the knock?

One of the keepers can fill in we have some to spare

It's because we're going to play three at the back

Their captain Glushanov is a doubt too apparently

Really want to see Sturridge start with Mane and Salah wide of him.

Coutinho behind with Can and Henderson.

Give Bobby a rest.

Like the sound of this. I think at the moment we need to be a bit more clinical, and Sturridge is definitely that.

Also agree Firmino looks a bit jaded and could do with a rest.

Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool manager cuts Spartak Moscow news conference short

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp cut short his Champions League news conference in Moscow on Monday, describing it as a "waste of time".

Klopp, whose side face Spartak Moscow at 19:45 BST on Tuesday, was asked if he was in love with any of his players.

It was a reference to Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino saying he loved striker Harry Kane on Saturday.

"I am really impressed that we're in a Champions League press conference and talking about this," said the German.

Klopp, who became frustrated while his answer was being translated into Russian, added: "I really don't understand the business any more."

He cut the translator off, saying his question and answer "were not important for Russia".

Before leaving the room, ending the 11-minute news conference, he added: "It was just an English thing. Pochettino loves Kane and who do I love? That's the question? A waste of time."

Can't argue with him there. And having watched the PC, he was totally calm and left when it was finished and Karius was due to take over. He answered more of the daft question saying he loved football, loved good players and that he loved kane too before saying the question was bollocks. He thanked the hopeless translator, shaking her hand before leaving. Bizarre reporting.

I think James Pearce enjoyed trying to put a slant on that after being dug out by Klopp recently. But the fact is it was lazy questioning that has typified press conferences recently.

Yeah having watched the press conference and then read Pearce's account of it, he definitely put a negative slant on what went on. Thought Klopp handled the nonsense he was asked pretty well.

James Pearce eats terribly butties

Apparently we're meeting Spartak at the worst possible time... for them!

Their top three players are injured, they still don't know their best formation and there's even rumours the players are playing badly on purpose to get the manager out..

Oh and the weather's quite pleasant right now so no frozen pitches!

Could be a drubbing...
