KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Gameplan For Thursday

I think we are going to need to keep a clean sheet if we are to go through, got a feeling United will try and finish it in the first leg by scoring a couple of away goals...

Absolutely, I think we'll score at old trafford. Even 0-0 at home is a good result. I think the full backs should forget about attacking, keep a back 4 rather than the back 2 we usually have when we attack. Make them play in front of us, they've shown all season they can't create when teams keep a tight back 4, they just pass the ball around aimlessly. Just let Sturridge, Coutinho, Firmino and probably Milner attack and everyone else focus on defending.

Buy low, sell high.

We'll play them off the park and lose. Seems to be the way it's gone the last couple of seasons.

You know we all keep waiting for the wheels to fall off, the cries are they are shit_e and lucky, yet we are 9 games from the second season of witnessing this and it hasn't happened.

They are well over due a 3-0 or so hiding this lot but I'm not confident of it.

I want to say let them have possession as well, as I know they struggle to score, but the problem is if they have most of the possession and they have shots, we know we concede a lot of from few shots on target, even if we do have men back, so they could control the match if they went infront in letting them have possession.

Obviously we should have beaten man utd at anfield, we weren't clinical. and they got the winner with their first on target. I'd like to see klopp do something different from that match, or we'll just have to be more clinical, and with rashford adding more vigor to the man utd attack, with van gaal getting them playing with more width, we'll have to track runners into the box, and mark rashford and co tightly. We shouldn't underestimate them, I know it's true, we should have beaten them at anfield last time, but saying that is not enough.

Imo it’s always best to play your own game in these situations, play the game your players are used to and should be most comfortable with. We know that under Klopp the current approach is in their face denying them time and space with a high press approach. If we play it well we win, play it badly and we lose, but after all if you cant play your own game well, you’re unlikely to play any other game well either. So for me it’s play our own game at home at least, and then if we’re a couple of goals up, we can be a little more defense minded, and maybe nick one on the break in the second leg away.

That's a good point, and I'd say the right option unless klopp has something else cunning up his sleeve, but we didn't have much territory in their final third trying to play a high press against man utd at anfield. And when we did have the ball they had all their players back pressing inside their own half. They do this against a lot of teams, pressing the man not the ball, playing a higher line with their defence to stop the counter attack. We did have about 3 chances which we should have made more of though when we faced them at anfield last time, I just hope we get the right result fighting them this time.

The been looking at oppo forums, and the Mancs don't look confident at all. Redcafe is practically shitting itself.

i hope liverpool dont get a penalty as morally it would be wrong for liverpool to have anything like this any more according to some .

Go out and play and knock 7 shades of shyte out of them
