Match Thread : Benfica v Liverpool

Need to get him down to the brothels in Cairo, eggy

Ha ha. Well at the moment he might not even score in the brothels in Cairo

Stark contrast between the last game and this one.

Going out on a limb to say we're going to have another bit of silverware in the cabinet at the end of the season

I’d love it if we won the FA Cup

But surely he could open the floodgates

It would complete the full set of trophies for Klopp and Hederson as Captain.

That starting 11 is our strongest ever team in the Premier league era. Defence and midfield for sure. Salah just needs to sort his fucking head out and that attack is deadly.

The Diaz signing will prove its worth come the end of the season.

yeah, looking at this way. We get this game done and dusted this evening and City struggling to get over A-Mardrid.. means we can rest some players next wednesday and we get them on the Saturday in the cup. so all positives. id love to win this Sunday though..

Well, a pretty decent half, strength of the opposition considered, Mo really needs a goal ahead of Saturday, like to see more actually tangible attempts at creating something or releasing a forward or full back from Thiago and Fab, they're getting on the ball in lots of time and space, no excuse not to be at least threatening to release players to inflict more damage on a fairly regular basis, at least Naby and Trent have both been very good on that front

Over to Jurgen as ever to make sure we're a bit better second half, administer the bumming, get the win and by a decent margin if at all possible to give ourselves a healthy lead to take back to Anfield for the second leg

Might want to be thinking about who to give 30 minutes rest to ahead of Sunday too, I expect Diaz to be starting on Sunday, as he's exactly the type of forward who gives Walker and their right side CB all sorts of problems, Mo needs a goal, Keita and Thiago are both known to be fragile, Trent's just back from a tweak - Ideally we try and give Diaz, Trent, Thiago, Keita 25-30 minutes rest

[eggy81]

Fuck sake. We should be 5 up. Lots of chances there to score

[Insidious]

Really hope Salah is having us all on and produces a performance-of-the-season at the weekend.

Some record for Mane in the knock-out rounds in Europe.

Mo has missed some chances of late, really poor
