The only one is Alexander Arnold who is playing tonight but we are short of Scousers

Nine, Liverpool away is probably our hardest fixture. We haven’t won at Anfield since an Anelka brace about 15 years ago. The Scousers definitely have a hoodoo over us at there’s.

Jim, whatever the result for City at Anfield this season mate I’m convinced that City have enough in their lockers to win the PL quite comfortably.
It’s not won yet of course but City look more than a class above any potential challengers. And that’s before Sanchez arrives.?

We all knew Jose will do this,so do not understand people getting taken by a surprise!.Trying to find an excuse how you do not have the attacking talent to be more attack-minded,when you have the likes of Mata,Mikhy,Martial and Rashford,it is a lain joke.He clearly went to Anfield not to get beaten!.

Good points all round. For me I thought we were there for the taking, out of form, low on confidence & a clean sheet to us is something you get from the dry cleaners. They on the other hand were full of confidence, scoring & not conceding & right up the pointy end of the table.
That said as I’ve mentioned before, if you don’t lose to the top teams & beat most of the lesser teams you will be up there abouts come seasons end. Problem for manu doing that this season is c$ty will not drop many points at all, they are streets ahead of the rest so if manu want a shot at the title draws against out of form teams won’t be enough, they’re gunna have to keep winning._____________________________

its kinda refreshing to be an a forum with other teams fans who are all going for the same goal but there is no angry comments, no goading, no swearing and no stupidity. To see Pool, City, spuds, Utd and Chelsea fans openly admitting their issues and just talking about it is, well, great. I completely agree with you guys re the draws with the top sides and win against the lesser teams this season may just not be enough. That said we could fall off our path anytime and then what. its sooooooo early and we do have the Jan transfer window for teams to strengthen. Whatever happens its gonna be a great fight this season and some of the football these teams are knocking out is unreal.

Brilliant stuff from Jose with his veiled attack on Conte keeps the focus off of his tactics and off of his team.
And I’ve never ever heard Jose complain about injuries.?
“We are in trouble. In this moment, Eric Bailly played six matches in a row, and we lost Marcos Rojo, we don’t have [Phil] Jones or [Chris] Smalling, we are in trouble and now we lose Zlatan too” ?

Last season mate. But Jose doesn’t complain about injuries and I never heard him do it once when he was at Chelsea.
Oh hold on. ?
“I have only one day, we travel to London and we are travelling to Shrewsbury. We are in trouble because we have so many injured players,” he said. “It is even more difficult for us to go. We have to go. We now have a difficult match. Because they are doing very well in their league and doing very well against superior teams in the Capital One Cup. It’s a big day for them. We know it will be difficult for us. But that’s football.”

Let’s be honest, does anybody really pay any lip-service to anything Maureen’s comes out with? That’s the man who “The Boy Who Cried Wolf!” was based upon. I suggest, like me, anything that Maureen’s says should be treated like a comedy YouTube clip, purely entertainment only.
Don’t get me wrong, the guy know’s how to put trophies in the cabinet, but what a Rodney he can be!

managers will always complain about something, any manager It is just the way they do it after being set up by the media…they should know better by now.
On the subject of parking the bus, I really do not mind it, I go to watch a good defence as much attack. Yes, it is not as attractive and personally I would not like to go a season with it but sometimes it is means to an end particularly if the manager does not have confidence he can win the game. I know Pep will never subscribe to this and now he is building a formidable squad has not the need to do so_____________________________

just checking, thought he had gone and said it again. No offence to any Utd fan here but hes just a tool, sorry. He always makes excuses and then blames everyone else. Im seriously not a fan and nether are my red mates from Stretford, they cant take to him at all.

Goat…that is the reason I moved over…I like the fan mix, Editor comments and no antagonism. I just hope it continues that way as it grows and we have an Ed who will actively control it It can be done…as prooved so far

@Goatistuta & @Brian blue, always nice to hear positive feedback. I really hope to see the site grow and I’ll certainly do everything I can to ensure the trolls are kept away. I’m very open to considering any changes people feel would benefit the site, too, so don’t hesitate to feed back anything you feel can be improved upon.
For example, as the site grows, we might eventually need to separate the club sites more so that fans of each club are free to discuss club-specific topics away from the main part of the site. Currently, I think the current setup works quite well as it encourages more debate amongst opposition fans.
As for José, I’ll never take offence to anyone criticising him. He is a tool in my eyes too. But, crucially, he’s our tool. Whilst I’d prefer a more pleasant man in charge, I’d only swap him for a more pleasant character if that person also had a record to match José. In other words, I’d take an unpleasant winner over a pleasant loser every single time. The moment he stops winning trophies is where the problem arises because there are then not enough positive factors to balance out the negatives.
A prime example to prove my point. Being a Utd fan, I can’t stand Suarez. The biting, the diving, the save on the line for Uruguay etc. However, I’d take him at Utd in a heartbeat because he’s an absolutely brilliant striker. I think we’ve all cheered for slightly questionable characters through the years because they happen to wear the colours of our club and we’re all likely to do it again in the future.
José does play too cautiously for my liking in the big games away from home but he’s also created some fantastic, high scoring sides through the years.

Good point Ed about cheering on questionable characters in your own team. Which got me to thinking about those I”ve cheered on at Anfield in the 45 years of supporting Liverpool. Between us all we should be able to make some team. I can’t really offer a goalkeeper, but my nominations for dodgy/unpleasant/even downright criminal characters from Liverpool are as follows… Ruddock, Collymore and Suarez. I was going to nominate Jan Molby as he spent time inside whilst at Anfield, but I’ve met him, and he’s just too nice a guy to be in a team of bad boys.. I also thought about nominating Graeme Souness but he was just a nasty f***** on the pitch, and we’re looking for questionable off the pitch.
So if we’re struggling for numbers when you United, City and Spurs (and any others on here!) have offered your nominations I’ll hold Souness, Molby and Balotelli in reserve!!

How about Diouf for your lot? He was horrible but then I don’t think Liverpool fans particularly liked him either which may disqualify him. I’ll need to have a think but from my own team, the first names which spring to mind are:
– Giggs. Legendary player. Despicable person.
– Keane. Deliberately set out to injure Haaland, amongst others no doubt. Again, brilliant player but horrible person.
– José probably has to get the manager’s job for this team. For me, with the obvious exception of the eye gouge, no single incidents stand out. Just a long list of recurring annoyances.Some tough choices for the striker positions with the ones Hightown mentioned plus Diouf, Costa etc

Great post Ed and absolutely spot on.
I don’t think there’s too much love lost between Mourinho and Conte but this is just a typical Mourinho smoke screen which papers over the last two United performances, gets the focus off his tactics v Liverpool and has a poke at Conte too.
Personally I think Conte should have laughed it off rather than respond but it was Jose at his best and the media’s lapped it up.?

How could I forget Diouf! But as you say, Ed, just everyone hated him!
Keane and Giggs are good shouts though! It’s going to be a pretty powerful team this though we will struggle for a keeper I think. I’m throwing John Terry into the mix!
