How can we only create 16 chances but have 20 shots per game?
Yep, I noticed that earlier. Although we're actually only joint top with City. Still Top though.
I have a Utd supporting work colleague who is away on holiday for this game. He's delighted that he is away, because he fears that they are going to get a real tanking at Anfield.
I would be very surprised if we change the formation we've used all season just for this game.
If Lallana isn't fit (I guess he will be though) then Studge starts along with Firmino, Coutinho and Mane.
Change of formation? We're playing a 4-3-3 now.
More like 4-2-1-3 or 3-1 whatever you prefer. Lallana is our deep 10.
The only way your team retains that is with Wynaldum at 10, but he hasn't started there yet and Klopp isn't going to start him there for this game.
You could of course also have Wynaldum wide left and bring Coutinho into the centre but defensively Lallana or Firmino are better there.
Another story.
The year they won the title, they beat us 2-1 Anfield. I was there. Poisonous atmosphere, quite a few of them got on the Kop and when they scored they celebrated and got a shoeing.
Anyway, I used to go to games by train or coach back then. I was on the train back to Euston and made the acquaintance of the so called cockney reds. I was young and naive back then which explained my wearing a t shirt which had a picture of the recently released hostage from the Middle East, Terry Waite. With the the simple speech bubble which had him saying "What? Man Utd still haven't won the title?"
As I went to the buffet car, I was stopped by a guy two carriages away and quickly surrounded. At first I thought it was a bit of banter. Then I was suckered punched to the side of the head, and the one who seemed to be ringleader, produced a knife and a lighter. He told me to remove it or he'd cut me and set light to it with me in it. I was also taking sly digs to kidneys and head from his cohorts. I removed it and they tried to set fire to it in the aisle but it wouldn't go up. I turned to go, and he grabbed me and told me he'd find me at Euston and stab me.
I returned to my seat where I already had welts and swelling to my face. My girlfriend at time, was more concerned about the fact I hadn't got her Diet Coke! Worried about Euston, I decided to alight the train at Watford Junction. I wasn't prepared to call this lots bluff on the threat.
I held back as I alighted to ensure they didn't see me. As the train pulled out, they saw me and started making the usual gestures and I decided to find my bravery and gave it the big 'un from the platform. Suddenly the train shuddered like it was stopping. I've never run so fast in my life, I was like Allan Wells - well I couldn't be Linford
Luckily the train wasn't stopping and I got home in one piece. Well with a badly swollen ear and swelling round nose and eyes.
Of course that was 23 years ago odd so it's not relevant today perhaps. I just told it to show that I'm a big gobshites when it comes to real football hooligans!
I dont agree but the starting position doesnt really mean much anyway these days.
But Hendo is at centre of that pivot in my honest opinion, with Lallana and Wijnaldum infront of him.
That's how I see it too, except for the Chelsea game where Wijnaldum played in a midfield 2 alongside Hendo, making it 4-2-3-1 instead of the usual 4-3-3.
Yeah, thats true. Chelsea play a 4-2-3-1 aswell dont they.
Did we do the same vs Spurs?
Yea, but Sturridge played instead of Firmino which may have caused the change in formation
I'm worried about this as per usual. We've been strongly fancied to beat United at Anfield in the League the last two years...particularly in 2014-15 when we were on a great little run and they were dire under LVG...they went onto play us off the park and Stevie G got sent off as soon as he came on 2nd half. Horrible day that was. Last season was a pretty poor affair although we were clearly the better team before United started asking questions before Rooney scores from a messy set piece around 80th min, game over.
We need to show a pair of balls here and be smart with it...not fall into Mourinho's trap...that cunt will be desperate to get one over on us again.

we could go 6 points ahead of them. would be massive that.
and they play chelsea after that. please fucking win.
Absolutely looking forward to this game with no fear. Not cocky or over confident but our lads will be up for it. Clyne and Lovren to return is good news. Lallana could still make it but I like the thought of Coutinho playing CM with Firmino and Studge ahead of him. We could do some serious damage to the Scummers and I hope that we do.
Any win will do, scrappy or not. Its the 3 points that matter above all else.

Im actually shitting it...
We had a good momentum going, but this international break ruins everything.

Terrified. As always. It will always be so.
They play Wednesday night. Should be okay given we play on Monday.
Ah I thought I read it was on Friday. That's definitely not as bad then.
Its veeeery late mind. 0130 or something.
I think you're right. One of them will probably start, injuries permitting of course.
