Liverpool V Arsenal, 13th Jan KO 2000

[Marc Overmars]

Any Klopp side is going to go at you hard for the first half and hour, and try and win the game early - even with all their injuries, he'll still have his boys charging around, hunting our players down. If we can weather that initial onslaught though, I think we'll have to much for them - that way of playing is fucking draining, and if they haven't got a good lead by the time they start to tire, then they're gonna be in trouble...

We just have to ensure we don't wilt during the inevitable barrage. I do hate playing teams that press from the front because we're not really built to withstand that pressure, but I'm hopeful with their key players missing it's all just bluster and we can settle early and gain a foothold. We really need to chalk up some big away wins if we're going to win the league, we play most of the top sides away from home now.
