Perfect team. Let's do these!

An early goal please.

 

[Glen C]

I don't think anyone can complain about the team selection. That is definitely our strongest team.

[Squiggles]

Perfect team from Klopp.

Let's do this

 

[mom]

Fucking boss line up. 5-1

 

[juniormember]

Common Danny! Sturridge Coutinho and Firmino interplay should hopefully destroy them.

 

[iseered]

This could get very painful watching if we don't score in the first half.

 

[Modo]

Obvious team. I like it. Hopefully Sturridge, Firmino and Coutinho work well together.

Middlesbrough XI: Guzan, Fabio, Chambers, Gibson, Friend, Clayton, Leadbitter, Forshaw, Downing, Bamford, Gestede

 

[Shadey]

I reckon we'll score a 3rd minute penalty.

Wow no negredo..

Firmino and Sturridge as a front two has me quite excited. Obviously they'll be shit now I've said this, but they seem like a perfect combination to me.

 

[Zlate]

They've gone for Gestede and his aerial ability. Is anyone else shitting bricks? I'm a nervous wreck!

 

[dogboy]

Boro playing two up front. 5 nil.

 

[ibromurph]

Gestede and Bamford up front in a 2 of is Bamford playing on the wing?

Either way, 2 forwards. They're not exactly parking a bus. We should find space in between the lines and beat these comfortably. The only threat I see from them is from set pieces and crosses but if we dominate the ball, they shouldn't get many. Mignolet has also been good lately at these.

I remember him causing us all kinds of trouble in a game against Villa a few years back, so yeh, i'm shitting bricks a little too.

 

[iseered]

Bricks being shat.

 

[HC]

c'mon Sturridge. If this is to be your last hurrah at the club (im feeling it won't be) go out with a bang

let's magnify that wenger frown and get those lippy YouTube cookers frothing at the prospect of Europa league football

 

[MomoWASright]

Probably not worth making a new thread for but Manè has been on the pitch collecting an award for being in PFA team of the year.

[article]Mane - I'm running, hopefully everything okay for pre-season. thanks physios for all their work. #LFC[/article]

 

[hmmmmm1]

Studge with a farewell goal or 2

 

[FoxForceFive]

Early goal please. Then we can relax & give the crowd something to enjoy.

 

[Shadey]

Nice kit btw.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fucking love that kit.

Especially like the fact it doesn't look like a surfers skintight top.

Proper old school.

 

[manwithnoname]

Just got the new kit for Finn's 9th birthday

'I'm so exited Dad! Surely Boro will not be able to withstand the full force of the Anfield crowd! This should be a magnificent win! Don't worry'

It's a very dark red when you see it up close. Almost burgundy

 

[Markeh]

Yup kit is great

 

[FoxForceFive]

Happy with the shade of red. It's been getting lighter & lighter over the last decade.

Decent start this first couple of minutes.

 

[Squiggles]

Best kit we've ever had IMO. Looks class.
