Pre Match | Liverpool vs. West Ham Utd | PL Matchday 7 | Saturday 31st October 17:30 | Anfield

More than Rhy Williams I am concerned with Gomez. He was quite good the last PL game and hope he has a very good game again. He was quite poor before that.

This is the most important game of the season, well at least it will be until the next one. It’s an absolutely must win game.

Shakespeare and Pope have both emphasized the tediousness of a twice-told tale, so, when we see that PGMOL have appointed kevin “never the Redmen’s” friend, as ref, and chris “selective myopia” kavanagh on VAR, we move swiftly on, without further comment.

Experience, even though it does not harden, erects a defensive barrier between its children and the world. It is the compensation which life gives to those whom it has handled roughly in order that they shall be able to regard with a certain contempt the small troubles of the sheltered.

For example, the contempt in which I hold Sméagol, when he gets his excuses in first as he bemoans the loss of a striker. Poor, poor Gollum.

So, come on you Redmen, show them how we rise above adversity and give’m Rockall.

Meanwhile, here in tier three lockdown Lowton, life seems to stretch before us like a dusty, weary road, without hope. Tonight’s rituals will be a very muted affair, much to the chagrin of the local children. In a half hearted attempt to lift the mood, I’ve painted the potting shed in fetching black and white mock Tudor stripes, but it’s just not the same. Hopefully next year celebrations will be back in full swing and we can really go to town celebrating the 70th anniversary of the first zebra crossing.

Speaking of celebrations, it is curious how frequently in this world our attempts to stimulate and uplift swoop back on us, and smite us like boomerangs, or, as in our case Lawro, as he tries to stick his didgeridoo up our corroboree with a predicted two nil win to us.

Hopefully his attempted kiss of death won’t throw a spanner in the works and upset the apple-cart. :roll_eyes:

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

I see the team’s been leaked again. This was last a problem back in 17/18. There was a twitter account that leaked it a full 24 hours before the game. Can not understand why anyone who wants the club to do well would do this.

Moyes will have seen us struggle with the aerial assault of Sheffield United and will try something similar, but it’s not just the first ball we struggled with but the second. The tweak to the system makes us light in midfield. I can see there being more tweaks until JK has got it right. At least we are playing a bit deeper now and looking more secure for it. Antonio is a big miss for them and that will help us.

This is the start of a tough week. After this its Atalanta and City. Two wins and a draw from this sequence of games would be brilliant.

Whats the team?

Huh? It’s only 15.15 now

I thought this was only during Rodger’s time and was stopped since Klopp came on. It’s a highly disadvantageous position to be in as the opposition gets ample time to analyse and adjust the tactics. It’s very critical to stop this and hopefully the club will look into it.

So you’re not concerned about a teenager with no experience but about a player who has been pretty good over the course of his time here and who you yourself say was good last time out? Right.

Only if you know where to find it I guess


I am sure @RedOpium understood what I meant.
For you I will spell it out. :wink:
Look at this thread a 16hrs30 and I am sure that posters will start posting the official line up that Klopp is going to use in this game. :smiley:

If there is a leak in the camp I’m wondering why they are doing it. There’s no good answer I can think of. Money? For betting markets possibly? Or just to look like a billy big bollocks?

We need to get to the bottom of this and shut it down, and I hope whoever is doing it is a gnat in the grand scheme of things, as we seem to have a really good group. Disappointing it is happening.

Have just seen this line up on Twitter:

#LFC Team: Alisson, Trent, Gomez, Phillips, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jones, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

No idea if it’s legit or not, guess we’ll find out in a few minutes
