Vs Melbourne Victory

[Modo]

We've got Alberto now, fuck Coutinho!

Save the "fucks" for later, when he asks for a move to a CL team.

 

[FoxForceFive]

That stadium looks incredible already.

With the majority of 100,000 people singing YNWA the atmosphere will be jaw dropping.

 

[StevieM]

I got the bibs the wrong way round....

 

[Mors]

LOL at Sterling coming out holding a kids hand as big as him

 

[gkmacca]

I've never seen Gerrard so relaxed and happy. He's smiling all the time recently.

 

[Mors]

Are there any home fans in there? I've never seen anything like that - 100k reds in the stadium?!

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Great atmosphere pre-game again. Now let's see if they can match the Indonesians.

Referee is Jumpi Ida. Ha!

 

[FoxForceFive]

That's my arm. That's what that just did.

What a fucking rendition of YNWA.

Stevie was looking round with a slightly awestruck expression. Given the games he's played & the stadia & atmosphere's he's experienced that's something.

 

[Fabio]

Sad that the local fans take the club for granted when you see such displays of emotion from abroad fans

Centenary Stand just strikes me as people who've paid for a season ticket, but don't actually like football

 

[FoxForceFive]

And yes, I'm sad for taking a photo of my goosebumps, but I don't care.

No other teams fans get that feeling.

 

[Fabio]

That's my arm. That's what that just did.

What a fucking rendition of YNWA.

Stevie was looking round with a slightly awestruck expression. Given the games he's played & the stadia & atmosphere's he's experienced that's something.

That looks like a grandads arm

I'm gonna call you granddaddy from now on

 

[Fabio]

Actually, i'l forget

 

[Fabio]

Johnson looking shite, which is good to see

 

[Fabio]

Sterling once again looking lively and is chasing down like a boss.

Massive season for him

 

[FoxForceFive]

Played at a decent pace this so far.

Looks more of a match than the last one.

 

[Fabio]

So far, it seems to be us doing a lot


Gerrard crosses a perfect corner, directly in to the keepers hands

Good to see thats the same too

 

[Fabio]

Christ, awful defending between johnson and wisdom, fella just ran through them while they jogged

These look like they're gonna score

 

[Fabio]

Sterling with a little half volley from little half chance. Wide.

 

[Fabio]

Gerrard playing VERY deep and pinging passes around

Johnson is having a mare attacking and defending.



Good to see thats the same

 

[Fabio]

Wisdom and skrtel keep switching....

 

[doctor_mac]

That's my ballbag.

 

[Fabio]

Good strength from wisdom there, shrugging off the challenge of 2 victory players

 

[FoxForceFive]

Sorry, thought I deleted all those photos mac.

 

[Fabio]

Henderson is the furthest forward of our midfield 3, not been on the ball much yet

Allen.....i've heard his name...

 

[Fabio]

Skrtel, pinging a lovely ball to enrique

shame it ends going back to our own half like, but good pass

 

[Fabio]

Ibe doing well down the right, but crowded out and the ball goes back downfield.

Resultant attack creates a corner

 

[Fabio]

Sterling with a shot from outside the box on the left, smashes one...wide by about 3 yards

 

[Fabio]

I feel bad for borini. His work rate and movement is excellent, he's just let down by finishing and touch. But i'm still optimistic they'll come with match fitness

 

[Fabio]

Wisdom wins the ball back with pace and power. Great defensive vision

 

[Skullflower]

borini's wank. properly shit.
