Pre and In Match | Liverpool v Rangers | CL Match Day 2 | 04/10/22 8pm | Anfield

The shape of the team looks better with 4 attackers on the pitch, we aren’t pulling Trent or Henderson into mental positions when attacking. Move it forward much quicker.

Yeah, Rangers are shite, but at least we look like a football team with a proper shape. This formation is perhaps still a touch too open, but much better than what we’ve been using recently.

We look like ourselves. The press is working. Nunez has hit the target a number of times, thwarted by McGregor. Passing has been slick. Just need to maintain the concentration and intensity. Goals will come.

Yeah commentators going on about Magregor but realistically there is none he wouldn’t expect to save

We still need 2 more to be sure not to lose!

Hendo’s magic tonight. Frustrating finishing or shall we lack thereof has deprived him of an assist hat-trick. Second half fills me with tension at the thought of the first Rangers attack and what we do with it. Trent smiling,: just that was worth watching the half for. Will do him the world of good.

Excellent half. Only downside we didn’t score more.

Think it’s the right one for the opposition. Would you go back to 4-3-3 against Arsenal?

Napoli 3-1. Wow

Serious team.

Not if it’s going to be the same as what we’ve seen so far this season.

This 4231 isn’t as good as our 433 from last year or between 18-20 but it’s surely better than the formation we’ve been playing this season.

Not convinced Nunez could have done much better with some of the chances, not had a lot of time on some, hit it then or lose the chance.

Club Brugge currently beating Atleti.

Pot 4 team 3 wins from 3, brilliant that.

Inter beating Barca, would be great if they dropped to Europa.

Spurs 0-0 (Interesting group)

Getting into positions, getting the shots, so I’m confident he’ll continue that and place at least one well.

Well, a few could be placed slightly less centrally, even with the limited time…but that’s all that’s missing, he’s doing everything else, so hope he’ll find the net in the 2nd half.

I was hoping that we would bury this after Trent’s opener. I’m not being impatient, it’s just that I’ve been up since 05:00 with work and had a flu vaccination as well so I’m half dropping off already.

This formation looks promising although Rangers’ lack of possession flatters us. We should have had 3 or 4. We have been looking more coherent as the game has progressed so I’m hoping we build on that.

Aside from trying to chop Jota in half we haven’t seen much in the way of Scottish rules football and McGregor has been playing a blinder - so much for the Scottish Goalie jokes.

Just interested what Klopp does subs-wise. I don’t see an obvious tactical tweek so I expect it will be a case of resting legs.

Also he has hit the target with every chance it will come, his movement is very good in the channels and in behind

Be fierce, be clinical. Kill the game early in the second-half.

Really happy with that half. Score another, shut down shop and move to the next one.

Not happy with the half…too slow…this is rangers, three to five leagues below us

We are Liverpool.
Rangers will equalise and we’ll have our usual 10 final minutes of pants crapping

Following these boys around europe since 1964, ups and downs…we are currently not ‘up’
