This game will tell us an awful lot about our mentality moving forward. Most (if not all) of the players involved will have been involved in those 3 fucking debacles last season and should be desperate to put these cunts to the sword.
A repeat performance, full of missed chances and gifting these plodders goals, will not bode well.

It will be a good test to see where we are at under Slot as, Man U have forwards with pace that may test us defensively, then it is about creating and taking our chances!

I donāt think it would matter.
I canāt see any Utd player being good enough to stick the ball in the top corner like that

It hurts even more because they were largely responsible for the total unravelling of our season. Even though Klopp was behind some of our greatest ever victories against these , I think we might be better prepared and better served by a bit more calmness coming from the touchline. Win this and itās instant kudos for Slot.
1-2

I havenāt been more confident of hammering them since I was very confident of hammering them 3 times last season.

It is not a must win but yet is. Just 3 matches into the season, Slot can solidify his already good impressions he had set. 3-0 to us and a red card to Bruno Crybaby
Wish it was at Anfield for Slotās first one. They managed to get a good atmosphere in the FA cup game last year, for the first time in a decade

Slotās first major test. Iām hoping his calm demeanour is reflected in his decision making pre and in-game. Iām not greedy, 0-2 will be fine.
Much as I enjoyed the 7-0 and 5-1 wins, we could have taken three goals off those totals and made a difference against them last season. Wastefulness cost us. End of.
I know this has been mentioned, and I say this as a huge Klopp believer and supporter. But maybe we need to take the emotion out of this fixture. Maybe we need to play more head than heart to get over the three worst results possible against them last season. I think those games fucked up our season, psychologically.
City are aleady putting down markers. Hopefully they are in a lower division with financial strangleholds soonā¦but they look ruthless.
We need to keep pace now.
Nervous at the moment.
But always hopeful.

Maybe this is happening anyway as both sides (but especially) Man U are far from being on top. Through the 90s and 2000s, they were largely on top, having displaced us. There was a chasing pack, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal but we were very much their biggest rivals due to the then recent history. Now, the landscape is very different. They are just another nearly team, amongst many, that are behind Man City. They do not see us as a direct rival, nor we them, beyond a historical backdrop that seems fast receding.

Having already played them in pre season should help Slot.
Couldnāt you have stayed there ?
