I fully expect us to go into that game tomorrow with the same starting 11 as we saw against Atalanta and we'll be pulled apart like like Lego. I'll be £#%&!ing shocked if Liverpool don't run in at least two goals.
I expect our lads will put in a big effort and play for the manager but there's no tactical flexibility or innovation there, it's all just put them out there and hope it clicks.

Yeah, agreed
This team knuckling down and making themselves tough to beat is not something they do.
If we’re to win, we need to outscore them. And if we make it like that, Liverpool will fancy themselves.
Let’s face it, this game is not up to us. Liverpool have a history of shitting out of this in recent years under Klopp. Every Liverpool fan I’ve spoken to this week is, at best, cautiously optimistic…. But if they turn up and play like they have been doing, they’ll beat us. Simple as that.
