Everyone should watch this video before tonight's game. At times, it's easy to forget why you love this club so much. This video, at least for me, rekindle that fire.

this photo made my day

Dude, i think it's ok that we have pessimists here. You shouldn't slate the naysayers because they are as much Liverpool fans as you and me. In fact, I get a little disillusioned as well at times. I know we can do well, but just like in the Swansea match the build up had me worried. We were overconfident and without our regular defense.

I agree we need to focus on winning, but a balance of people is good as well. Let's welcome different opinions instead of criticizing them

With absence of Coutinho, i do not feel it weakens the momentum and spirit of the team to stay top of the Premier League tonight.
I'm going with 2-0 victory for Reds with Sturridge and Gerrard on the scoresheet.

You know I always welcome opinions

Just that some opinions are as such that without Coutinho, we are totally hopeless, even at Anfield. That means Dannyboy, Moses and Gang are all but useless. We were counting on the Brazilian only. That is pathetic way of thinking.

One player injured, another strategy will come in to fit the team. Let's go for a win instead of thinking of the bad consequences of not winning.

If they think that we cant win, why? So how can we still force a win and bite our teeth and get through it? Provide a solid argument. If the reason is because of Coutinho and no one can replace him, then it is truly pathetic.

calm down ur horses guys. nah, eat some rice

wtf?

Mood, you got a girlfriend to argue with for tonight?

Simply find a girl to argue.

what happen to the bird?

todei no fish lah. nvm, i'll go to gym later and start a fight with some random girls.

dunno lol

If you get a girl, Mara get his Pess mode on and Alan Kong can come in time to poo poo in the loo, then I am going for a 2-0 win as well. LOL


Like sky's prediction, I fancy Gerrard to open his account for the season and of course Dannyboy to continue his scoring form but somehow I feel if he didnt score, Moses will.

And Sterling if selected, should celebrate his victory in the court today with 2 assists

Pessimism is fine but constantly berating the team without giving any credit when it's due is something else. 2 seasons before Rafa left I wrote a long piece which was posted on another website, citing it was time for us to part ways. Drew a lot of flack it did but I didn't mind given it was to me a well thought out piece. BR has made mistakes but at the same time he deserves credit for the things he has done right. He's done enough for the club to see out the term of his contract at least.

No one calls for his head. Just not yet.
He just won manager of the month 1-2 weeks ago.

They say the league isnt won until after X'mas...i think there is a shift...a clearer pic will come some time in Jan & Feb. Not going to comment on early days n stuff, but if we are to lose, i'd rather lose during early part of the season. Most top teams peak towards the latter stages, and tbh, I felt its too good to be true to have 3 wins and 1 draw...still remember last season when Arsenal lose match after match, but pick themself up later. And who can forget how WBA was touted as a contender for top 4, only to pattered off later into the season...would rather we play shitty now than later

There's a saying, if you go into a match thinking you wont win, you already lost half the battle.

I am just frustrated with some of us here because it is as if they were waiting every week to be proven wrong and be relieved. They were waiting patiently with their axe. Once the team dont do well, here comes all the slashing. Just like waiting to vent their frustration when they are right.

We are better fans than that, I hope. Come on! Let's be positive. Only hours away now. AND POSITIVE NUMBER 1 is, we got a new thread

Spot on! In fact, we didnt hit peak yet and got away with a few lucky wins sort of.

It will take some time for us to be at our peak as with last season. The difference is, the mentality has changed. We go into the game not thinking of slaughtering the opponents left and right. We go into the game thinking of winning and getting the points and protecting the result.

Slowly, that will build a consistent winning mentality. In fact I am glad the boys got the few lucky wins. They now know that on their day, even if they were average, they can still win with using their head and sticking to strategy.

So you mean by staying at top 4 now, will resulting us to fighting from relegation in second half of the season..?

I rather we stay pessimistic than over positive/confident like our Spanish wonders Aspas, staying pessimistic is good, it allow us to ready for the worst case scenario.

But unlike others, I could see that we winning against Soton, IF Aspas doesn't get on the field.

I agree partially. Only way we cant win is:

1) Aspas was selected and his poor form continues plus our other players couldnt convert
2) We play with a wrong strategy. For example 3-5-2 formation with a fast attacking wingers of Soton. That is wrong.
3) If all our strong back four are out. But it looks like agger is coming back and Toure is there. Skrtel is doing well and we got Mama who is not 100% yet on standby. Apart from that, dont forget Mignolet.

We definitely can win:
1) Dannyboy continues his scoring form
2) The return of Agger and Toure.
3) Moses contributes well in the absence of Couts.

If the prediction of us not winning is base on personal gut feeling, then it is pointless, isnt it? Why the sudden disbelief? Because we drew with white swans or because Pochettino's team whacked us 3-1 last season? Stoke whacked us, MU whacked us, but we got the win against them this season.


Bottomline is, if we go into a game vs Soton at ANFIELD thinking that we cant win (And it's Soton for God's sake, not Barca), it is exactly why we wont. It is exactly why our cabinets will not even have a single droplet piece of shite to show.


I stick to 2-0 and I dont care if I am wrong. I love my team and I want my team to be positive especially at home ground. Show the kopites what they are made of. YNWA!

@Dillonyong

Actually I would prefer to rest Agger, he just recovered from injuries, I would prefer to play him in the 2nd half or not playing at all. Skrtel is doing great job so far, so if another CB and our RB could do a good job and not doing any mistake, our defence could have a decent performance.

As for prediction, I'll still go with my previous one, 4-1. Lambert opening, Sturridge brace, Gerrard and Sterling/Hendo(not really sure who will start) one each.
