Well the real stuff starts this Friday

A good start at home to a promoted club

Expect the team to be

Alisson

TAA
Gomez
VVD
Robbo

Fabinho
Hendo
Keita

Mo
Bobby
Origi

Subs

Adrian
Matip
Lovren
Gini
Lallana
Ox
Shaqiri

The club said Mane was available for selection.. I think he could make the bench.

If we can't beat the likes of Norwich at home without Mane then we may forget about being Champions.
I'd leave him out if it were up to me as he needs the rest but Klopp might be thinking about him getting a few minutes before Chelsea.

The above team looks fine to me and should be more than enough to win even if they have to navigate through a few busses to do it.

Can't wait for it to get under way 

On a side note anyone see R.B.G on the boards lately ?. Haven't seen him on the register for a while now.

I think RBG got fed up with all the depressing ***** !!

Depressing ? Surely not - how can people be depressing when we won the CL for the 6th time , for our record points total in the league and go into the season with all our world class players ready to go

The reaction to the transfer window from the likes of Yakkawhateverhisnameis has been embarrassing- but then expected when he spent the whole of last season being critical

Thankfully the summer nonsense is over and we can get on with the football! Couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season. At home on a Friday night against one of the promoted sides. Anfield will be buzzing as we begin the season as CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE! Squad is looking pretty strong and the likes of Lovren, Lallana, and Brewster probably won’t even make the bench. I’d play the team below but I think Klopp will go with Wijnaldum in midfield and possibly Gomez instead of Matip.

                          Alisson

Trent          Matip          van Dijk         Robbo

                         Fabinho
      Henderson                  Keita

Salah                                        Origi
                          Firmino

Subs: Mane, Shaqiri, Ox, Wijnaldum, Milner, Gomez, Adrian

Think we'll destroy Norwich tonight, by 3 or 4 goals.  The lads will be up for it and so will the crowd 

Also have a funny feeling that West Ham will cause problems for Man City tomorrow...

Full team news

Liverpool: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Firmino, Salah, Origi.

Subs: Adrian, Milner, Ketia, Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Matip.

Gomez shouldn't be starting he was awful preseason and in any case Matip is a better CB..

I would have liked to see Keita in the MF trio.

Norwich at home is an ideal game to get him in and firing.

Any streams lads?

1-0 an own goal to start our season off

Get in, 1-0. Own goal but good work by Origi.
