I still think they’ll travel over (in their dozens or whatever) and try and sneak in the home section.
Press conference has happened. Konaté fit, Gomez doubtful. I’ll post a summary if i find one (can’t cut and paste from the official app)

Up until last week, the majority would be predicting that we’d go through. Now, many say we’re crap and we’ll be eliminated.
For this reason alone, I think our Dutch contingent, starting with the captain, will play their hearts out and make this look like the old, famous Euro nights at Anfield. Even if we don’t advance.

Press conference summary:
-
Slot confirmed they will decide on Wednesday whether Joe Gomez will be available for the match as he had “too much issues” after Sunday’s game and is now “a doubt” for Galatasaray. Ibrahima Konate is fit to play but the Reds boss also confirmed that striker Alexander Isak is still not fit to return for this match or the weekend.
-
More on Isak’s fitness, after he trained alone on Tuesday: “The fact you see him on the pitch tells you that he gets closer and closer to joining us again. Not really [any timeframe on his return] but he will not be available for Saturday as well. When you don’t train with the team yet you are not ready to play.”
-
Slot said the sprinting he saw after they conceded late against Tottenham showed “they are willing to fight, which they have done this whole season and as long as I’ve been here”, adding: “There haven’t been many games where we haven’t been outworked or where we haven’t created more chances than the other team have created. So our players will show that mentality again.”
-
On fans booing and becoming restless with results: “People told me when I came here this club is different to other clubs - they will support a manager for such a long time. If it is true what you are saying [that fans are becoming restless] - I don’t feel this at all - then I must have done a lot of things wrong and that’s never a nice feeling to have.”
-
Asked about what the lyrics of You’ll Never Walk Alone mean for him in this moment, he responded: “We always feel we have support of fans so we never feel we walk alone. Sometimes you feel this after you lost and walk in, sometimes feel alone. But players, staff, family, always there to support after a game. I’ve never felt alone since I have been here.”
-
On comments made by former defender Jamie Carragher about them being a team of individuals: “I should have seen it and haven’t and don’t know the context as to why he said it. I have agreed with lots of things he has said before this season, but this I don’t. After so many disappointments this season, to concede late, we could have given up but didn’t. A team that has given up, a team of individuals, doesn’t show this resilience.”
-
On facing Galatasaray with a one-goal deficit to make up: “It’s difficult because we have played twice against them and lost twice against them. The good thing for us is that it is the first game we play at home [against them] and we have the support of our fans, which will be supportive again tomorrow night because that is what they have always been and will always be for this club.”

Looks like rioting to me.
I wish Merseyside police all the best controlling cunts like that.
It’s their first match at Anfield in 24 years. I’m sure those who travelled will be ready to pay a fortune to buy tickets from home fans. Is that possible or will the passports be checked?
And this is the night before our match, that’s just crazy
Obviously means a great deal for them. Very risky making a scene like that.
So hope they don’t have anything to celebrate other than toast and tea in their cells on Thursday morning.
The footage on the clip looks very pre-planned. Driver phones up the chief nut-job, we’re just about to turn onto the strand, get it lit up like their victory parades.
They wouldn’t even know what a proper European victory looks like the knobheads. Got to knock them right out now tomorrow, also considering it’s a uefa fan ban in the stadium they really shouldn’t have bothered to come to Liverpool, there won’t be any fan zones in concert square or anywhere else around the city.

They are a club who pipe crowd nose over their loudspeaker system. Wouldn’t surprise me.
I wish! Better chance winning the league this year.
I think they do, they just can’t say in an open forum, or to the management I feel.
I would like direct questions, maybe that will help. Do you think the team are as fit as last season? I think the answer is No, I doubt we would get that answer.
Liverpool City Centre is rocking tonight with tens of thousands of punters because it is St Patricks Day… Hope it doesn’t kick off later with any Galatasary fans
