Gotta get this show on the road

Kovacic, Kante, Giroud, Pulisic should start this one.

Nah. Think the lineup will be the same as today, with perhaps Kovacic for Barkley. If Kante is fit, then Pedro will make way for Mount to go out wide again. 

[Laylabelle 9,293]

Also think it's nice how the club have put their hand in their pockets to help fans out with getting to  this game after Thomas Cook went under. Guess felt like little choice but even so. Little touches 

[Pizy 17,860]

If Pulisic doesn't start this one I'm going to seriously worry about him. I think he'll start to seriously worry about himself honestly.

Hes an extremely dangerous weapon that we are going to need as the season goes on. Getting his confidence up on a big European night in a must win game would be huge for him.

Would be more concerning if he doesn't get minutes again, never mind starting. 

Lampard mentioned last Friday that he's aware of his big game experience in the Champions League. So, let's see...

Lille also appear to be inconsistent this season...

Willian will play for sure after his goal, even though he was pretty bad.
So one spot is open. I hope CHO or Pulisic can start the game.

Ligue 1 is crazy this year

until PSG won today

Angers (WTF !!!) was at the top of the table

and until Shitty won their game

Liverpool's lead over the SECOND PLACE team in the EPL was only TWO points smaller than PSG's was OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE TABLE Ligue 1 teams (Dijon and Saint-Etienne) before they (PSG) won, and Saint-Etienne has a game in hand, lolol

Would be asking Willian a lot to play consecutive games especially with Southampton away to come next weekend, albeit on a Sunday (assuming he'll start that one as well). 

But yeah, could start Pulisic and then bring CHO later on to offer fresh legs and pace. We might also see Lampard move Mount out wide again if Kante is fit (seriously hope we don't stupidly risk him again!), Kovacic will surely start after only coming on as a sub today.

Some of the other leagues are also a bit nuts. Either there's one team running away with it and then a bunch of teams cluttered together with the same number of points (e.g. PL) OR a bunch of teams sitting close together at the top end (e.g. Bundesliga, La Liga).

[Vesper 27,267]

Interesting trivia on Angers btw

that is were the House of Plantagenet was from (then known then as the Angevins)

why does that sound familiar?

No big reason other than every King/Queen of England from 1154, with the accession of Henry II, until 1603, when Elizabeth I died without issue. was a Plantagenet/Angevin-descent or, latter, a member of the Plantagenets' two cadet branches, the houses of Lancaster and York and then of course the Tudors.

examples

Richard I  aka Richard the Lionheart

Edward I aka Edward Longshanks (Hammer of the Scots) close to my favourite of our Kings ever, a total badass

Edward IV of England (Elizabeth Woodville, his wife  , and a witch, lolol)

Henry VIII

Mary aka Bloody Mary

Elizabeth I

I wish we had chaos, instead of the Scouser twats running away with it!

Gotta say, seeing the Sweden flag beside your name all of a sudden is very disturbing. I should remove it.
