Going into this game, the records show better for Liverpool. Us not having won against a top 6 side this season away and Liverpool (I believe match Chelsea) with results against top 6.
I feel the pressure is on them to get a result (they are the team off form and need to get their crap together). They turn up for the big game and are expected to turn it on against us, are they not?. We need to (as Poch says) play smart. If we get it tacitly right and play to our best, there is no reason why we cant win this and take all three points and put a stop to all this nonsense of not winning at Anfield. We are a decent side and should be able to match Liverpool and at least not lose.

...and I genuinely thought Sunderland were shit.... but Liverpool are infinitely better than them, so hey... nothing's a 'given'.
I would say that this year, Poch has at least started to eradicate the 'submissive' inferiority complex we've had down the years away at 'The Big Top Sky 4' we're not allowing ourselves to be bullied any more, and the occasional brain-fart aside :llorisunsure::walker: (which truly needs to go, if we are gonna start winning regularly away at these grounds) then overall we've acquitted ourselves pretty well this season...
we're no longer "Lads, it's only Spurs" ...but we're not quite there yet!
Just been perusing the RAWK match thread... while there's still the odd overly optimistic one amongst them, the general mood seems to be that they're pretty concerned about this match and could see us winning. For Liverpool fans to admit that, in consensus, is quite something. They want to see Can dropped in favour of Wijnaldum, Karius playing over Mignolet, and they can't make their mind up on whether Firmino or Sturridge should start. They're also concerned that both Lovren and Lallana missed training on Thursday.
I'd have thought they'd be more concerned if he did train yesterday... guy's a liability isn't he?
They'll be stronger without him IMHO! (cue last-minute match-saving tackle by Lovren!!)
ochfacepalm:It feels like the build up to City away, where (for some unknown reason) many were confident of us winning... I haven't quite shaken the Spurs of old feeling which steadfastly refuses to allow me to be confident,
I am, however realistic enough to realise that our team is a much stronger proposition than in years gone by,
Draw then?
But thats been my point in this all along and why I bring up the City game.
We were crap against Sunderland. If we played to our potential, we would have wiped the floor with them.
If we didnt waste several chances against Boro, it wouldnt have been so nervy, and if we went at City instead of sitting back and trying to defend a 0-0 scoreline, we wouldnt have been double whammied with counter attacks as a result of our own failed counter attacks.
Ive said it, that its Spurs that concerns me.....not Liverpool. It about what Spurs turns up.
If we play the way we are good at...pressing and attcking and getting the midfield to play box to box, then we will beat them.
If we sit back, and let Hugo concede possession over and over again, and get pinned into our own final 3rd, the game will be a cunt. Eriksen cant counter creatively when he´s the furthest man forward on the break.
Check back. Stop. Look. Pass to Kane who now has 8 men around him. Just doesnt work for us.
Trips is more of a "plug 'n' play" replacement for Walker than Davies is for Rose, doesn't require such a rethink. Better player too probably, on balance, certainly going forward
We should go and park the bus, Klopp can't work out how to beat teams that defend, but we won't as it's not Poch's style.
We don't have Bale and Lennon anymore.
Eriksen, Alli and Sissoko/Son aren't capable of that elite counter game.
He makes me pregnant with nostalgia
Oh not another one. This side drew 0-0 at home to Plymouth, and lost to Southampton and Swansea, shipping 3 goals to the PLs 3rd bottom scorers
It's not exactly like we are playing Ajax under Rinus Michaels.....as Mensa said, why the hell would anyone want to let their shit defence off the hook? Their keepers are garbage too.
When we're 4-0 up, don't worry you'll all be happy!

The only way they win games is on the counter attack.
It's pretty pragmatic to alter your tactics to nullify your opponents only strength - no?
Can we not have the best of both worlds?
Get at them from the kick off, throw bodies at the press and scare the shit out of them.
Then if we don't nick an early goal, relinquish some possession let them come on to us. I'm confident in our ability to defend and they need the win much more than we do. Wait for them to overcommit... good night.

The only good thing about Coutinho is that the profit I made from getting him in a Fifa Ultimate Team pack gave me the funds to buy both Eriksen and Dembele.
Or play to ours and expose their massive flaws
