Pre and In Match Thread. Liverpool vs AC Milan. CL Group B. Wed 15th Sept 2000hrs

So from last year, AC have lost Donnarumma and Ibrahimovic (injury). I don’t see how this squad can perform like they did last year, and even if they did, it shouldn’t be enough to put sustained pressure on us at Anfield.

Going for the standard 4-0 thrashing. Four of the best, trousers down :slight_smile:

They don’t need sustained pressure, just a couple of breakaway goals

Ali
Trent Gomez VVD Robbo
Hendo Fab Thiago
Salah Ox Mane

Matip or Robbo get rotated for this one. I think it is likely to be Matip and then Robbo probably sits against Palace.

Either way, 2-0. Professional performance. Goal in the first 20 mins, then again in 70th to really finish the game off. Could sneak in another after, but I really believe once they go down 2 it’s close up shop to prevent the GD from growing.

What are the odds that all the players will be wearing the no.67 shirt for warm up and goalscorers will have Harvey t-shirts ready to be revealed?

Particularly from Milan except that their t-shirts wouldn’t get an outing.

It would be a fucking cheap yellow card. T shirts before sure thing - messages on shirts and potential yellow - not needed

He’s a fast reader like this guy

I suspend mine for 2 months, so basically same for me paying monthly. It’s nice as they have an option to restart at a specific date.

It was a lovely afternoon and the air was fragrant with gentle autumnal scents. Bees busied themselves in the buddleaias and the butterflies ebbed amongst the echinops and the echinaceas.

Earlier that morning, the BBC weather presenter had forecast a dire, doom laden weather warning for rain of monsoon proportions, and sure enough a mini heat wave ensued; as a denizen of Lowton might have put it, “it were cracking the flags”.

Pottering back to the cool dark interior off his potting shed, Hulme-Rothery pottered dreamily in his favourite Chesterton armchair, and dreamily poured himself a modest libation of vintage Dow’s, in celebration of a close run thing.

After Boudica discovered that @Klopptimist had not, as I alluded, enacted the lex sacrificii et Musa sapientum fixa cutis, she decided that the time had come to get down to brass tacks, to talk turkey and to take matters into hand.

The Mem paused for a moment before speaking, as the uncharitable thought floated into her mind that there were times when one took my muddleheadedness for granted. She allowed only the merest suggestion of annoyance to creep into her words.

“You are a mentally unbalanced alcoholic”, she said, and she gave me a quick, cold, haughty look, as if I had offended her with a four-letter word.

“Are you under the impression,” she said, "that it is my intention to stand idly by while…

I may be hypersensitive, but I got the definite feeling that she was miffed, so I acted swiftly to head her off at the pass.

“The marmosets, gibbons and peacocks are tethered awaiting you displeasure, my little harpy”, I volunteered.

The glint returned to the Mem’s eyes; she reached for her pearl handled Damascus steel gelding shears…

This game has all the makings of a potential banana skin! :rolleyes: (well someone had to say it)

I’ll take a scrappy 1-0 win to us. :oops:
