Liverpool v Watford Sunday 1600

[AFCB_Mark]

Another 10 changes?

 

[G-Dragon]

I say make 11!

 

[SALTIRE]

There will be a lot certainly. Watford's season is over, surely they'll be on the beach for this one tbh. Think Liverpool will nick it, 1 - 0.

 

[Super_horns]

Probably be as hard actually as we might not prepared to play the kids/fringe players..

Somebody like Benteke will cause us problems and we'll go for a point..

Klopp on Ings,
“I’m pretty sure Danny wants [to play],” he said.

“He was in training, after a long time he came back to train at the highest level.

“We saw a good striker! I knew before but now I’ve seen it.

“But at this moment it makes no sense, we have all these fit players.

“If he has the opportunity [he will play], but we will not force it.

“His time will come 100 percent.

“If there’s an opportunity this season, we’ll do it; if not, he’s got a long pre-season to be ready for the next season.”

Have to agree, no point in risking Ings now. Can't wait to watch him under Klopp though!

LFC XI: Mignolet, Flanagan, Skrtel, Lucas, Moreno, Allen, Stewart, Ibe, Ojo, Coutinho, Benteke.
Subs: Bogdan, Toure, Firmino, Sturridge, Brannagan, Randall, Chirivella.

 

[Super_horns]

Same team for us pretty much I think so no real attacking outlet...

 

[Pagnell]

Nice goal. Is Joe Allen trying to turn into Pirlo?

 

[G-Dragon]

Welsh Xavi and Welsh Pirlo rolled into one.

 

[Stevencc]

Nice goal. Is Joe Allen trying to turn into Pirlo?

If he is then Klopp really is a miracle worker and you should hold onto Benteke in the hope that Jurgen can turn him into Messi.

 

[G-Dragon]

Benteke 0 goals in 90 min, firmino scores within 10 mins of coming on...

 

[Super_horns]

Straight forward win/defeat..

 

[Bilo]

Solid performance from us to be honest. Benteke didn't really do too much, but he was involved in both our goals.

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah it wasn't a great game but Liverpool did enough.

 

[snortingfrogs]

Pretty easy win, we played good, nothing exceptional but enough to not be worried.

 

[Ablur]

Much of a nothing game really where both teams didn't do too much, although Mignolet made one of the best saves I think I've ever seen.

 

[G-Dragon]

Indeed a great save. https://streamable.com/47oh

 

[SALTIRE]

Aye thats a cracker alright; one of the lads on Redmen said it was the best save he's ever seen live.

 

[merseyboyred]

Benteke 0 goals in 90 min, firmino scores within 10 mins of coming on...

Got the assist for Allen though, and generally his play was better than it has often been. Difficult to judge from this game though, it had a sunny summer going through the motions feel to it.

 

[Pagnell]

I'm going to stick my neck out here and predict Benteke is never going to make it as a Liverpool player, and I suspect he won't be here in August. Klopp simply doesn't play the football he requires and he isn't good enough to change that style to suit him. Sell him for £15m-£18m and take the loss, it was a stupid fucking fee to pay in the first place, you would have thought Carroll would have taught the club a lesson but clearly not. He is still a 15-20 goal a season striker for the right club, but we're not it.

 

[Stevencc]

I've always liked him but I'm glad it was Liverpool that took the plunge on him in the end rather than United (who were heavily linked to him at the same time) - he'd have been just as ill-suited to Van Gaal's tactics.

For very different reasons!

True.

Yep, he's gone in the summer. Just not the right fit.

At least you could have benteke and fellaini to hoof the ball up to!

Don't give van Gaal ideas!
