A return to where we won it 6 times. If all goes well, we will also be returning to where we won it 5 times, where we will win it 7 times.
Fabinho and Mane back in for sure. The rest are the same. Bench is - Adrian, Origi, Ox, Keita, Lovren/Matip, Minamino/Lallana, Milner
You all know Jurgen. He will dictate how the game will be played. If we can just take our chances when we make them and get those away goals. It’ll be a real Euro night back at home. We’re not the underdogs, we are the champions.
2-1 for the good guys would make me happy... 2- nil would make me ecstatic. Anything better than that, watch out...
Looking forward to the match today. I’m pretty sure both sides have a book on their oppos. and know everything there is to know about every single player and how they play. League form doesn’t really mean a thing in the CL it’s how you play for that 90 minute. All of the 90 minutes. I’ll just say it again. We need to score first We need to score early We need to score often We need to score last. And we have a chance.
It will be difficult. They shouldn't score on us but they'll park the bus and be well organized making it difficult for us to score.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah Firmino. Subs: Adrian, Milner, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Origi, Matip - That's what I predicted as well. Not a huge surprise.
#LFC team v Atletico Madrid: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane. Subs: Adrian, Milner, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Origi, Matip.
Atletico still have a strong team and despite not getting the results this season - this will be a slog. Oblak can keep them in the game on his own - he's pretty close to Alisson level. Atletico: Oblak, Vrsaljko, Savic, Felipe, Lodi, Lemar, Thomas, Saul, Koke, Morata, Correa Costa on the bench.
The TNT pregame coverage is unbearably bad. Steve Nash did an entire piece comparing Sadio Mane to Damien Lillard. Can’t wait for this one to start. Up the Reds!
