Will be my first time at Anfield - what's the away section like?

Fucking Cardiff scored three against them - surely we can bang in at least 4 .... :kaboullol:

I could watch #26 all fucking day in this clip, so wonderful.

Also, things I learn from MyFootballFacts posts: Peter Crouch is the Premier League whore.
 
If we start in a similar fashion to yesterday we will get a gruesome mauling & I don't see us coming back. We will get repeatedly hit on the counter attack. We are due a game where we come out of the traps all guns blazing & I'm praying it's this one. If we can get the first goal I genuinely think we will turn them over because they are very flimsy at the back. But if we don't hit the ground running, it could be a horror show. COYS!

MODRICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC! :walker-scream:

Remember that so well, first weekend at Uni - flatmate was a Liverpool supporter, luckily I don't live with him anymore. It's going to be brutal.
 
Liverpool start fast, we start slow. Ouch.

Heard more of the same platitudes from Sherwood about imposing our game on them. Hope he's not serious. Villa went there with a plan, executed it and won. Let's not be stupid.

Think you have to get Ade, Soldado and Eriksen in the same team, while keeping some solidity. A toughy, but then they play two up.
 
I just don't see us winning this, we just dn't matchup well with them.

If we go for them early on they'll just counter us, and they are much more efficient than us at scoring. The only way we can win this is if we play them like stoke would and defend for our lives and hope to nick a goal, but as we all know we can't rely on our defending coz they will melt under pressure and someone will make a mistake.

I would be more confident if we were playing Man City.
 
if we start slow like we did yesterday they could be 3-0 up in the first 15mins! might have to watch this from behind the sofa ive already written this one off as a heavy loss especially if we still have the fullback we had yesterday
