In what way have Liverpoolalways had a soft spot for us? To my mind they are the same as any other team, no better, no worse.

Dale Stephens is the first name on the teamsheet. And rightly so.
But one of the clubs where (to date), there's been no bad blood with our club or fans?
Plus packed Anfield crowds stayed to applaud winning Albions teams off in the famous 80's matches. That was NOT the done thing in that era.

Very true! Although it may have helped that we had Jimmy Case and Jimmy Melia two of their own in attendance!
But they were gracious in defeat!
To benchmark that era, my ManU&Albion loving colleague at the time and his wife, got covered in gob from hateful ManU at the 1983 FAC Final.

Because they remember the days when we beat them years ago at Anfield. LFC fans do in fact appreciate the smaller teams winning against them, it is one of the things that makes them a little different. The Kop always applauds the away goalkeeper when he arrives at that end. They remember players such as Mark Lawrenson and Michael Robinson that left BHA and wore the red.
They still talk about the game when Brighton beat them 2-1 and Phil Neal missed a pen, and Phil never missed penalties.
Don’t forget Jimmy Amelia was a red legend, they don’t forget that type of thing.

I’m not going to have an opinion on team selection that I post on here. I expected the worst when I saw yesterdays. Sometimes it is great to be wrong
Lesson learnt.....for the moment
same here but some/lots of very good performances.

his record is 7 in 8 .....i would have thought this was above average. His first penalty for us was very good, Sunday's was poor but he really has not looked good this season (yes 2 games). Could be a number of reasons but let's not write him off yet. I think one of the new guys should play to add pace to the front for this away game then get him back for Fulham

Support away from home is important and the 12th man as it were can help stir things up.

I'm glad Coutinho has gone and Lovren is injured, and Can has gone. Oxlade injured. Does seem so formidable opposition as all that. Don't know if Keita is any good or not? I hope Henderson starts as I would prefer to face him than Abdoulaye Doucouré (Watford).

Just hope we don't embarrass ourselves at Anfield!
Liverpool are not in turmoil like Man U are and will be up for the kill to keep the pressure on Man C.
As good as our performance was on Sunday, I think we will be penned back for most of the match on Saturday and it's about stopping Liverpool scoring, that in itself will be a major victory.

I doubt we will press as aggressively as we did at home to Man Utd. That will leave us to exposed. I suspect we’ll revert to last year’s type by being very cautious and holding our shape.

Keita was quality against Palace. Guy looks immense.

Not awoke
This is the only change (for the German) barring a new injury that I forsee for Saturday
Keita is just finding his PL feet, but already looks very good.

Keïta is going to be one of LFC’s greatest ever midfield players. He’s got the tricks of coutinho but tackles like Steve McMahon.
Doesn’t do free kicks as far as I’m aware but his passing is like StevieG.
So, he’s pretty good.....
