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...
Their midfield will absolutely be set up for industry and hard work....
The onslaught will take the form of crossing the ball to a bemused Benteke who'll probably want to take it on the ground anyway.
If we match their commitment I don't see how we will throw it away at least.
Quietly confident given the improvement in our defence this season, but we have been looking a bit shaky in MF lately, and Liverpool tend to play well against possession teams when they don't have the ball. Let's hope that we are patient, and don't play too far up the pitch - and wait to pick them off. They will look to hussle us for sure, and our precision passing game tends to falter when this happens. I'm going to call it 0-1.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
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.Originally Posted by I am invisible

The way Southampton played against us the other week is exactly how Liverpool play and we tend to struggle against the high pressing game. If you look at our biggest defeats over the last few seasons, teams that robbed the ball of us high up the pitch and scored early would usually hammer us. The Liverpool, City and Chelsea games two years ago, the Saints game recently and that loss to Dortmund last season where we were simply outrun and out fought.
Hollywood Ramsey really needs to keep his runs in check and stop abandoning our DM at the first opportunity!
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

Love that Pires goal, probably my favourite of his.
