Liverpool v Bournemouth (a) PL

[BigChief]

Think they will go right at us like they tried to do against Arsenal.

If they do, then up to us to exploit that space at the back.

We're not Arsenal. We have a much better forward line now that it's finally clicked. Right now, drop of a hat, would anyone take Martinelli/Odegard/Saka over Jota(Gak)/Nunez/Salah. Not a chance. Not even Utd fans would turn down our forward line. Heck even Arsenal fans would pine for ours.

Bournemouth will not leave their backline exposed to that. They might score one, but we'll score three if they do. Game will be over in 20 minutes. I think Bournemouth will close shop against us and try to expose our midfield.

With the 3 following games being City, CHelsea and Arsenal we have to win this one.

All of them look gettable now

Arsenal were all over them in that 2nd half, If we get that amount of space and chances it will be a repeat of the United mauling

[frank the tank]

Starting line up for me would be the same as the united game. Have had a full week off and if they get rhythm then keep it for the madrid match too.

Only question mark for me would be Elliot. Maybe Bajcetic but not sure.

Think we will smash these cunts

[Charly]

We will probably lose 1-0 now... I am worried players might be saving themselves for Madrid. There has to be belief among these players that they can overturn it.

Klopp too...

I think he will rotate it.

Mind you we did Barca with a weakened lineup... so who knows with these guys. The impossible is just another Wednesday...

[Pablo]

It is all about momentum to the end of the season now. Win, win and then win again.

We have to go all out for this, high tempo, press them from the off. No eyes on midweek.

Lastly we have a decent gap until the Madrid game anyway (Sat afternoon until Wed evening).

[RichC]

Yeah, we need to try and play at the same level as at the weekend, there might be a change in midfield but I don't think we'll be seeing wholesale changes for this game.

All about these 3 points, worry about Madrid after this game which is what I think we'll be doing

[Pablo]

The Madrid game is a massive, massive long shot by the way. It feels like people somehow expect us to make a big fight of it now after hammering United?

I'm an optimist but it's unlikely. They are a very professional, tactically astute side and I can't see them falling apart like Barca did.

It would have been a massive long shot if it were at Anfield, it's an even bigger long shot having to do it away from home

We can't let that game distract us from this one

The game against Real is a free hit imo. If we go out then it was expected after the result of the first leg. If we do not go out, then amazeballs.

So in many ways the pressure is off for that game.

The ones that really matter now are the league games and continuing that climb up the table we have been on the past number of weeks.

[Mark79]

Only thing that is giving me any hope against Real is that they are due a spectacular reversal of fortune in that competition at some point.

[Shaggy]

And they're not playing well domestically. I think we can win there, just not overturn the deficit. It's all I'm hoping for anyway, haven't even countenanced coming back.

Nah...

**** it!


We can do it... We will do it!!!

[Liverpool]

I think we were 20/1 after the Barca first leg, 18/1 to qualify this team. Too short imo.

Win the first half by a goal, another one by 75 mins and and anything can happen in that final 15. No away goals gives us a chance as well. Not happening though

If anyone can..........
