Liverpool 21-22: van Dijk Strikes Back

[406W30th 1111]

And now Konate plays a peach of a ball over the top, also to Taki. He had Gordon wide open on the right but shot it himself, forcing a decent save from the keeper. Should be 1-0.

 

[406W30th 1111]

Should be 1-0 and now it is. Taki!

So we should see Robertson back around Boxing Day

[406W30th 1111]

Wow, what a goal. Taki and Tsimikas with a great 1-2 and Tsimikas whips in an inch-perfect cross to Bobby who coolly finishes. Great goal.

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Nice pass by The Greek

[hobbes2702 13045]

I think Kostas will do just fine

Fuck. That was a hard tackle. They need to protect him!

[mdmost 43004]

Moar extensions!

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Cool.

Now sign a midfielder.

[406W30th 1111]

I've actually come around to the idea that, for this season, we don't really need any more signings. I worry about CM depth, as well as Trent's back-up, but after watching the two friendlies at Anfield, it's pretty incredibly how talented we are 22-deep. The caveat of course is whether or not guys like Ox and Keita (and to a lesser extent Thiago) can stay fit but I'm pretty bullish on our title chances this year.

 

[mdmost 43004]

AFCON is going to punch a nice hole in this season with Mane and Salah both gone. My hope is our defense is tighter. I don't have any faith that Keita or Ox can stay healthy. We didn't replace Gini. I'd like to be optimistic but City added Grealish, Chelsea added some weapons, and United added Sancho. We only added defense. Maybe this season will be better than last but I don't see us competing for the title. I certainly hope I'm wrong. Having supporters back will help.

The biggest risk is the injury possibility. It's only going to be two possibly three games they'll miss. That being said the league could easily be determined by that.

Konate was bought to be a starter and will partner VVD in our first match, barring any setback for either.

 

bold prediction cotton?

[mdmost 43004]

Here we go. VvD is back! YNWA!

Not surprised to see Milner back with Tsimikas, or Jota for Firmino, but interested to see Ox. 
 

LFG!!!

[mdmost 43004]

The bench is stacked. I hope we don't f around today. The other two newly promoted teams came out on fire today. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Let’s goooooooooo!

[Jive Turkey 12614]

let's do this.  

[mdmost 43004]

Interested to see what Tsimikas has. 

[Jive Turkey 12614]

i'm curious to see if VvD is tentative at all.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Norwich made of glass?

[mdmost 43004]

Seeing Virgil barking out orders makes me happy. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Virg has lost a step. I’m sure he’ll get it back. 

[mdmost 43004]

Almost, Mo. 

I take it Klopp got contacts. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

So close….

[mdmost 43004]

Milner can't be the answer when there's a midfield vacancy. 

[mdmost 43004]

JOTA!!!! 

That pass from TAA. Mo with a little tap to get it past the line.

Jota!!!!!

[Hagbard Celine 10868]

goal for the liver of pool

[Firemans4Horn 18083]

Trent is so damn good

[Jive Turkey 12614]

Jota will be our leading goalscorer this season.

[pied06 228]

Alisson too. 

[Firemans4Horn 18083]

Wow. Matip had a wide open goal. At least he put it on net. 

[mdmost 43004]

Good first half. I wish we'd push more thorough TAA and Mo vs. Tsimikas. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Great work by Trent. 

[mdmost 43004]

Jota's footwork was great. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Time for Some midfield subs

[mdmost 43004]

Please be for Milner and Keita.
