Really looking forward to seeing Batshuayi and N'Golo. Last season was so rubbish, let's hope they freshen things up. Leicester might very well have sold us the reason they won the title judging by their performances yesterday!

Costa

That's the team I reckon.

Costa better perform this season after his childish train wreck of an effort last season! Hope he gets back to his best, and/or hoping we get Luka - a player we should never have sold and won't spit his dummy out when things aren't going his way.

Watching Coutinho & Mane take Arsenal apart yesterday is why I'm adamant we desperately need to improve our RW position. Mane would've been a great option to bolster our attack.

Watching Arsenal fall apart was beautiful, but watching the scousers destroy them was a little worrying. Hate to say it but I think they will be up there. Their array of young attacking midfielders is impressive. They just need to grow a back bone and not fall apart against the lesser sides. Totally agree about Mane, looks some player

I hope we win 5-4 tonight the only reason I want that score line cause I want conte to see that we need a cb quick as possible

[Antonio8 736]

diego costa and hazard will light the fire..

Let's not get carried away with Liverpool, just because of one win against Arsenal and especially against an Arsenal side missing their key defenders. Granted, they don't defend well with their first choice defenders but certainly won't have been as bad as yesterday. If anything, yesterday's game summed up Liverpool under Klopp - look decent going forward but rubbish at the back and one minute they look brilliant, the next absolutely appalling. The only reason people are regarding them as legitimate contenders for anything is because of Klopp but put him aside for one minute and you'll realize they aren't all that great. A few decent players and a whole bunch of average ones in the team. There's not one player you can genuinely say 'he's world class and will walk into any of the best clubs' first XI'.

Monday night football sucks.

I hope Eden is in the mood and makes the game fun.

I'll ignore the quality and style of football for the first four games. Just win them.

in conte we trust

Hope you're right lol. tbh though Klopp has a good track record, and the scousers actually played quite consistently well for the last ten games or so of last season. Their defeats came when they rested pretty much their whole team as they focused on the europa league Commentator said they scored more PL goals than any team in 2016, and they have just got rid of Skrtel and Kolo, so it just remains to be seen what their two new CBs are like. That moreno is a tool though, let's hope they keep him. Feel free to remind me you're right when they fall apart against a newly promoted team sometime soon hopefully

Or could we see Hazard in the #10 role with Willian and Cuadrado either side?

Literally have no idea who Conte's going to go for. So many permutations in pre season. 

[Pizy 18,470]

Both Creswell and Lanzini are out for sure, right? That's two of their best and most important players. Ayew can't possibly be fully settled and gelled with his teammates. Payet is said to be not fully recovered yet.

At home, opening day, everyone at 100%, and with all the energy and excitement there's really no excuse not to get the 3 points today. It would be great to get one of the tougher fixtures out of the way this early rather than later in the season when they'd be more settled.

Again, I'm confident in our attack, shitting it about our defense.
