Know The Opposition

Liverpool Football Club (nicknamed The Reds) are an English professional football club based in Liverpool, England. Liverpool were originally founded in 1892 as "Everton F.C. and Athletic Grounds Ltd" (Everton Athletic for short), before finalizing on the name Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Ltd. after a dispute between the Everton FC board and John Houlding, the owner of Everton's former premise at Anfield Road.

Liverpool's forays into competitive football started when they joined the Lancashire League. After winning the league title in their first season, Liverpool were accepted into the Football League for the 1893-94 season, following the resignations of Accrington and Bootle. Liverpool reached its first FA Cup Final in 1914, losing 1–0 to Burnley. It won consecutive League championships in 1922 and 1923, but did not win another trophy until the 1946–47 season, when the club won the First Division for a fifth time under the control of ex-West Ham Utd centre half George Kay.

One of the most successful and storied clubs in the history of European football, Liverpool have won 19 English league titles, 6 European Cups, 8 FA Cups, and 10 League Cups, peaking in the 1970s and 1980s, first under the enigmatic Bill Shankly, and then his Boot Room successors Bob Pailsey, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish. Liverpool have two fierce historic rivals: crosstown club Everton FC (matches between them are termed The Merseyside Derby), and Manchester United (stemming from the success of both teams as well as the cities' competition in the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century).

[thisisnottaken1]

Not confident about this.

 

[Samid]

New manager and no summer signings. Yet they'll probably take care of us without much hassle.

 

[Bastian]

I think we'll do them. Two goal lead, then concede a fluke goal near the end and see out a nervy finish.

 

[Shane88]

0-3 with Salah's customary 2 goals against us.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

0-3 with Salah's customary 2 goals against us.

Yup. Salah will definitely score. He loves a goal against us.

 

[JB08]

Christ

Better hope they underperform.

 

[pcaming]

Comfortable Pool win. Another loss against a brand new manager that has made instant impact.

 

[pascell]

We have no midfield and we're wasteful with the ball in the final 3rd. The only way we get a result of any kind is backs against the wall and try to counter.

 

[Catt]

United to win

 

[hellhunter]

We'll get pumped

 

[Bogga]

One thing is for sure, I'm not watching this game. My heart can't stand another trashing...

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Honestly it will not surprise me one bit if we get a result in this game with a good spirited performance. Things will look up and all the chat about this is the bare minimum of performance to put in for the rest of the season but then we revert back to our old habits in the next game like we seen today.

This squad is like a packet of revels. Don’t know which team performance you are going to get.

 

[James35]

Definite loss.

 

[SER19]

Call it dramatic but if we don't win the season is set in stone as another rough one

 

[BarstoolProphet]

THEY. ARE. WORRIED.

 

[Irrational.]

I think we can get the win here. Surprisingly optimistic - I saw enough in today's game to suggest we'll make it more than competitive.

 

[Ayoba]

When does the season end?

 

[Banana Republic]

How can we win if we can’t score enough goals ?
Where are the goals coming from ?

Liverpool will play a bit like Brighton today, only with a better defence.

 

[Offside]

I don’t see how we win games anymore unless we score in the last minute when drawing? When we’re more likely to concede. If we’re in any position going into the last 10 we’ll just bottle it.

Only hope is we manage to hold onto a 2 goal lead for a while like we did against them a couple of years ago and like in the cup final. Or some crazy breakaway when the game is level like we did against them in the cup last year.

I think were going to lose this 2-1.

 

[Statue of Limitations]

We could easily be sitting on 6 points and if we play our best team from the start, Garnacho on for a start, we can win this.

2-1 Rashford likes a goal against these.

 

[Irrational.]

Onana

Mazraoui, De Ligt, Licha, Dalot

Mainoo, Casemiro, Fernandes

Garnacho, Zirkzee, Rashford

This has to be the starting XI.

 

[RedIan]

Rashford? No chance.
Amad right wing, Garnacho left wing.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Unfortunately I think we will lose and put in a poor performance overall

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Rashford in a big game, should start.

 

[Todd]

They will win this comfortably, and the ETH out stuff will start up

 

[pjaya]

Pray for United

 

[abailey123]

Onana

Mazraoui
De Ligt
Martinez
Dalot

Casemiro
Mainoo

Amad
Bruno
Garnacho

Zirkzee

 

[ElDiabloRojo]

Avenge the 7 nil

 

[Irwin99]

Weird to say this considering it's only match 3 of the season but it feels like it could be very important going forward. A win and a new signing (hopefully) and we're going into the international break with some positivity. Defeat and it's two losses already and the mood around the club sinks yet again.

I think we'll win with it being at OT and I think the players will be fired up. Probably another chaotic game like the ones last season against them at OT.

Similar to ETHs first season, where Sancho of all players scored.

We need to fill midfield in this one and utilise Nacho’s constant running in behind on the counter.

Damn. Mount is injured? If so then;
………………....Onana
Maz….De Ligt....Martinez…Dalot
…..Mainoo…Ugarte…Casemiro

[Nero]

Do people not get tired of constantly and confidently predicting losses to Liverpool and City and regularly being wrong?

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Yup. Salah will definitely score. He loves a goal against us.

Funny because pre-Ten Hag I swear he was terrible against us for years

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Amad, Zirkzee, Garnacho front 3.

Maybe Ugarte can start in this one. De Ligt gets his first start for sure I think.

 

[calodo2003]

Maybe Ugarte can start in this one. De Ligt gets his first start for sure I think.

We've signed Ugarte?

 

[hellhunter]

Funny because pre-Ten Hag I swear he was terrible against us for years

He scored that freebie vs Henderson

 

[Giggsy13]

Embarrassing thread so far. We’ve had success against them last season and have stepped up in big games. I expect a bounce back and a big win for United.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

We've signed Ugarte?

Not sure if sarcasm, but I'm assuming we get the deal done this week.
