    Well, here it is folks, better late than never!

    Our visitors, Leeds, gained promotion in emphatic style winning the league by 10 points. Leeds do need to be in the Premier League. Players to watch out for are Hernandez, Nketiah Costa and Rodrigo and Bamford will be a handful up front. They have players who contribute to their goal tally from all positions. Leeds are gonna upset a few this season.

    The last time we played them in the league at home was back in October of 2003 when we ran out 3-1 winners courtesy of goals from Owen, Murphy and Pongolle. Starting XI that day:
    Dudek, Finnan, Hyypia, Riise, Gerrard, Diouf(twat), Smicer, Kewell, Biscan, Owen and Heskey.

    Our starting XI, depending who limps back from the God awful Nations league, will look fairly familiar methinks. I’m expecting Trent to be fit and see our usual back 4 with Gomez keeping his place (would like to see Matip start tho). Henderson I don’t think will make it which leaves Fab and Gini as sure starters with Naby I think who will get the nod. Usual trio up top.

    Leeds finished last season strong winning 12 out of their last 14 games with their only loss at Cardiff.

    There’s gonna be some odd results I think first game of the second Covid season but I think we’ll get thru this, 3-1 (we will concede; 27 goals conceded in our last 17 games in all comps).

    Over to you.

    I’m not totally convinced by our defence and in particular the high line. We conceded a good few chances last season. Hope Gomez starts quicker then last season

    Reakky no idea how this season is going to go. I like that we are being written off by some .

    Hopefully the front 3 click from the off

    Keita starts if fully fit. Really hoping this is the season were he can stay fit.

    No fans is just a pile of shite. Huge pity

    Only one thing matters in this game, we must win the 3 points, and in a convincing manner.

    As for the team, it will be our usual first eleven, barring some late tactical surprises or injuries.

    Gomez to start before Matip (for now), only because the far superior Matip is not fully fit yet. Also I want Minamino to get at least half an hour, unless Klopp decides to go with 4231, and starts with him instead of Keita or Wijnaldum

    Sean, the no fans might hurt us this season… I’m sure as fuck that the Anfield crowd scores us a few points over a season and we stand to lose about 100 million over the season…

    I’m not yet in panic mode as there is still plenty left of the window and the whole outcome for the season might change if the stands are opened.

    100 million is a lot of money and I understand the club being vary of spending right now.

    Everyone bar Ox trained this morning so it’ll be interesting to see who makes the cut. Shaqiri took part too which means he won’t even make the bench. There’s a long way to go between now and kick off! Feeling extra sarcastic today.

    So what’s the feeling?…. Do we stick with the 4-3-3 for this game or will we adapt the recently tried 4-2-3-1?

    With 4-3-3
    Allison
    Trent, Gomez, VVD, Robbo
    Wij, Fabinho, Kieta
    Salah, Firmino, Mané

    With 4-2-3-1
    Allison
    Trent, Gomez, VVD, Robbo
    Fabinho, Kieta
    Mane, Firmino, Minamino,
    Salah

    I think it will be 4-3-3 with the team you are saying ginger but maybe Minamino is in with a shout to start after an impressive pre-season

    Leeds play

    4-1-4-1.

    Very interesting first game

    I’d be shocked and amazed Ginger if it isn’t the 433 with that line up.
