It's getting ridiculous with Lallana.
Getting?
Yeah. He suddenly contributed before limping away. When he just played shit it was no concern ..
Can we really be starting a Champions League quarter-final with fucking Divock Origi leading the line?
He's no Djimi Traore
If he plays, he should be on the LW as he's been recently, with Mane or Salah up top.
Nope. Mane should be centre and Origi on the LW where he does his best work (for me).
EDIT. Damn Rurik beat me to it .. again.
By a narrow 5 hour margin only
I havent seen any of our games live in weeks so I'm hoping to see this all the way through without any distractions
Got to account for time difference - he went back into my past to post it 😉

Liverpool will be without suspended left-back Andy Robertson against Porto, who were beaten 5-0 at home when the two teams met in the last 16 last season
Midfielder James Milner is expected to deputise as although Alberto Moreno is Klopp's other option, the Spaniard has not featured since early January.
Adam Lallana is a doubt with a minor muscle injury which forced him to miss Friday's win at Southampton.
Porto have problems of their own, with injuries and suspensions leaving them with only 16 available outfield players.
Former Real Madrid defender Pepe is suspended, while captain Hector Herrera was booked against Roma meaning he too is banned for the first leg.
Left-back Alex Telles faces a fitness test after complaining about a bursitis in his right hip.
Hopefully we can win this by two or three. I'm going for 2-0 which will give us a good base for the second leg.

No fucking Pepe is good news
I'd rather he played as he's past it.
This. He's guaranteed to snap someone
Another motivational talk made unnecessary:
Pereira Speaks
Porto defender Danilo Pereira is confident of stopping Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at Anfield this evening.
A little too confident, if you ask me.
Speaking with King Fut, Pereira said: “Liverpool are the favourites taking into account that they play at home.
“Their stadium is difficult to play at and it is normal for them to be the favourites. There is no feeling of revenge.
“Liverpool [are] a very offensive team. They can counterattack very easily, with very fast players. They have their flaws, but I’d rather not say them here because we have our own strategy. However, we want to exploit them to the fullest.
“Playing against Salah, Firmino and Mane? They won’t get by me. That’s what I think and [I’ll] do my best to ensure that.”
We’ll see, Danilo.
We’ll see.
