[Badgers]

and which of these do you have a bet on?

none too scared

 

[ignatious]

Anyone else getting 'the fear' yet?

For some reason I have it in my head that they are an unstoppable machine who are taking the Bundesliga and Europe by storm, but then I remember that they are actually Austrian and we’ve probably been overrating them somewhat.

You are right of course

Early kick off but still getting techy waiting

 

[Badgers]

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Adrian, Milner, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Origi, Jones.

 

[Badgers]

Would like to have seen Ox start but great to have him as an impact player on the bench.

Glad to see Keita getting the nod
Hopefully Gini has one of his worldy games today

 

[Dandred]

[Badgers]

Genk have got this too

Get the fuck in!

 

[Badgers]

Was on tenterhooks first half
Second half was a lot more comfortable

Salah missing three sitters then defying physics with that goal at that angle.

Hendo and Keita my choices for MOTM

Allison great in goal
Lovren played well till injured

VVD was excellent, like a castle wall in the first 15 minutes.

 

[MrSki]

Doing their bit for the election.

Job done. Mo couldn't hit a cows arse with and banjo tonight...unless it was the smallest cow with the smallest banjo

 

[Badgers]

Le Parisien, cited by Sports Mole, claim the Reds are one of six clubs interested in signing the Brazilian alongside Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona.

And PSG are said to be willing to sell Neymar for a measly £150m.

Pfffft

 

[Lord Camomile]

You've gotta think that alleged interest isn't coming from Klopp?

 

[Badgers]

You've gotta think that alleged interest isn't coming from Klopp?

Yup. Sounds more like agents bigging up interest rumour to raise fees.

 

[Badgers]

Who got MOTM for last night?

Recall reading that Mane won it but memory a bit blurry

For me it was Hendo or Keita (leaning towards Hendo) but listening to a couple of post match podcasts they are also suggesting Gini

 

[ignatious]

Who got MOTM for last night?

Beeb report said Mane but Keita seems to be getting most of the plaudits. I don’t know if there’s an official UEFA man of the match. Can’t see one on their website.

Mane played well (as usual) but there are a few players who were better overall

I thought Keita was the pick of the bunch.

I thought Keita was the pick of the bunch.

For me a close second to Hendo but very close

Steven Gerrard: Rangers manager confirms he's set to sign new deal
Funny that...

Airport delays after plane overshoots runway

Looks like Mike Gordon was trying to head up Queens Drive and park his private jet outside Anfield

He's fucked up a few flights today including...

Steven and Kerry Grounds, from Warrington, were due to fly out to Amsterdam to celebrate Kerry's 40th birthday.

"I don't think we will be going anywhere, so we're going back home," she said.

Liverpool agree deal for RB Salzburg’s Takumi Minamino

Liverpool have fended off competition from Manchester United to agree a January deal in principle with Red Bull Salzburg for Takumi Minamino, who has a paltry release clause of just £7.25million.

 

[Badgers]

Takumi Minamino for Salzburg in all comps 2019-20:
22 games
9 goals
11 assists
29 chances created (1.32 per 90)
10 big chances created (0.45 per 90)
29 dribbles succeeded (1.32 per 90)
19 tackles won (0.86 per 90)
5 positions played

Very good bit of business by Mr Edwards if the reported £7.25m fee is true
Especially given that he got £8m for Karius

Minamino WILL be able to feature in Liverpool’s Champions League campaign following the removal of the ‘cup tied’ rule by UEFA.

 

[Badgers]

I love a bit of unsubstantiated transfer rumour and gossip

Red Bull Salzburg's sporting director confirms that Erling Haaland met with RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.

RB Leipzig want to replace Timo Werner who is likely to leave in January.

Liverpool and Chelsea are front runners for Timo Werner. The pending deal for Minamino won't effect a deal for Werner.

Pearce is a pretty safe pair of hands with LFC news
