Liverpool vs West Ham - Premier League (18/19 - Game 1)

[Maxiedge]

My lasting memory from last season is how awful Craig Pawson is.

[Buzzo]

I thought it was a Terence Trent D'Arby thing.

Nah, it was my early onset dementia.

[RedReet]

Our lack of decisions has been well documented over the summer, so I think we will see more favourable decisions this year. Klopp should be ramping up the pressure every game though and Henderson having a word with the refs before ko.

I forgot about that one. Maybe that's why Barnes got so confused.

[Yerman]

Looking forward to seeing how the team gels, it will probabldly take a 4-5 games to see the full potential hopefully will not drop to many points before then

Most teams will be in the same boat, whether it be new transfers or players returning from world cup. Our quality should be enough to see us through.

I believe our quality will shine through enough to make a few crap decisions moot in the grand scheme of things.

Back 5 are obvious subject to Gomez's fitness and the Clyne v TAA debate, but what do we think thr midfield will be? Is Milner out? Has Shakatak played his way in?

If Milner plays it'll be with a head bandage. I can't see why we'd bother.

Keita Henderson Wijnaldum, with Shaqiri to come in if we need to add more creativity to that.

[Fosterbloke]

I reckon it will be -

Mané ------ Firmino ----- Salah

Lallana ------ Keita ------ Wijnaldum

Robertson -- VVD -- Gomez -- Clyne

--------------- Alisson

Subs: Sturridge, Shaqiri, Henderson, Fabinho, Jones, TAA, Moreno, Klavan, Karius

[Exiled_red]

I don't see Henderson, TAA or Lovren starting, I wouldn't be surprised if none of them were in the match day squad. I said earlier in the summer I don't see Klopp starting both Keita and Fabinho in midfield due to their lack of PL experience. But if Milner is out that may chamge things. GK and defence picks itself only question is who is fit to partner VVD. Also crazy as it sounds I wouldn't be surprised if Firmino is rested for a bit longer and Sturridge starts.

Alisson; Clyne, VVD, Gomez, Robertson; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Salah, Sturridge, Mane

[BobTheCharmer]

We need to play our strongest team in every single premier league game. Rotate for the champions league games since the group's are usually piss easy to finish in top two.

Last year we looked tired and travelling to Europe. This time 100% effort for the league. We have to win it.

[Norbs]

Mané ------ Firmino ----- Salah

Lallana ------ Keita ------ Wijnaldum

Robertson -- VVD -- Gomez -- Clyne

--------------- Alisson

Subs: Sturridge, Shaqiri, Henderson, Fabinho, Jones, TAA, Moreno, Klavan, Karius

I'd have Shaqiri over Lallana all day, every week

[Norbs]

Tipping Gini to score. He looked very involved vs Napoli

[Fosterbloke]

I'd have Shaqiri over Lallana all day, every week

It's not what I'd like, it's what I think will happen.
