Bogey ground for us...... 1-1

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah, hitting a poor patch of form just now, even if Liverpool are still scoring goals. If they can somehow tighten that defense, then I think they'll win pretty easily; but as it is with Traore running at the defense and Negredo no daftie, I can see further points being lost.

The derby is coming at the right time as they need to regain their focus and composure after this game.

 

[Pagnell]

Not expecting to win is usually when we do, and even against Boro our form suggests this won't be easy. It could really go either way. I'm going for a tight away win, but I'm not particularly confident.

1-2

Bogey ground for us...... 1-1

#LFC haven’t won on Teesside in last 7 attempts - taking just 4pts out of a possible 21 and scoring just once.

 

[Chelsea Royale]

Easy win for Liverpool. 3-1 to Liverpool.

Unless Karius loses you lot more points

 

[G-Dragon]

Draw written all over this game. Boro are a solid side and we aren't in a good form atm.

 

[johnnytodd]

Boro to over run average Liverpool and win easily 3-1

 

[SALTIRE]

According to The Echo, Mignolet is in.

 

[SALTIRE]

Confirmed, no Matip either (can't find those fancy graphics G and Stevie do for the teams!).

no one cares anyway

We're down to bare bones right now and we have to start picking up wins. Not confident at all.

Yeah looking at the bench, there are a lot of youngsters there you can't really bring on to change games. The starting 11 looks ok enough, but I agree, the squad is looking thin at this moment.

 

[The Iron]

I think this will be a very tight game, with it finishing 0-0 or 1-0 either side.

 

[Pagnell]

Lallana 0-1.

Let's see if we can keep the lead for a fucking change.

 

[SALTIRE]

A bit of directness yields the dividends, instead of overpassing. Nice!

 

[Pagnell]

All teams have started doing the sensible thing against us, namely do pretty much anything to get a set piece within kicking distance of the box. Boro going down like bags of shit at every opportunity.

 

[Pagnell]

Fuck me, inches from 0-2.

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah Mane took that well and was so unlucky.

 

[SALTIRE]

Get in boys!

 

[Pagnell]

Fantastic goal.

0-2

If we concede now I'll be fucking livid, never mind fail to win.

 

[SALTIRE]

Lallana, what a beast!!

 

[Pagnell]

0-3

Lallana.

 

[The Iron]

Blimey 3-0. Very impressive scoreline.

 

[Pagnell]

Even better that takes us above Arsenal into 2nd courtesy of them losing yesterday and us having scored more. Better not concede.

 

[Pagnell]

What a player Lallana has turned into in the last 9 months. Even better than he was at Southampton and the form that caused us to buy him.

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah he's been Liverpool's most improved player this season.

Hope Origi going off is only cramp...

 

[JimJams]

Cramp? Fucking hell isn't he a professional footballer? Not like he's played 3 times in a week or owt.

 

[Pagnell]

Back above Arsenal. Thanks for yesterday Everton.

 

[G-Dragon]

WIN NEVER IN DOUBT!
