I'd expect Firmino to start up top with Cou and Mane and then Origi to come on in the second half. Can't wait for Sunday

Yeah I agree. Should be nearly the same lineup we saw against Barca

The more I think about it, the Barca game had to be a bit of a dress rehearsal. Studge likely out either way. Firmino starts, Origi on at the 60 minute make and who he replaces depends upon the game circumstances. That's just a guess.

Been reading a few tactical articles about how we've played with a lot of 3 man midfield this pre-season and that we shift into a 3-4-2-1 in attack (Can dropping back into almost a CB and the LB and RB shifting up) and then fall into a 4-5-1 (or 4-1-4-1) in defense. It should be interesting to see Klopps true tactical stamp on this team - with plenty of time to work on things between games.

Anybody know what channel the match will be on? I was thinking defacto NBCSports, but with the Olympics on there, does that displace the match broadcast to somewhere else?

Gah! Going to end up having to record this game... Have to coach a youth football scrimmage Sunday morning.

This would be a situation where you tell them your grandfather died or something.

I keep thinking about how fricking unwatchable last year's opener was....I'm glad to see we won't have that problem anytime soon. Poor Celtic.

Last year we were preparing another year of Brendan, when he should have been fired at the end of the previous season..

In the end, we got our guy and can't be more excited for the season to start!

Yeah... If I wasn't one of two consistent coaches, I'd be telling them I was sick or something.

Thank the Lord for DVR.

Alberto Moreno


If he actually makes contact with the ball, he clears it... no big deal... frustrating..


We look a mess right now... nothing going on...

Welp I wasn't totally on the Moreno shouldn't start bus, but now I definitely am.

I appreciate his effort, but he needs to have a high motor for all the times he's out of position and wreckless.

We still need to find better players than Henderson and Milner as well.

Damn it, Cou. Use your right foot to make that pass.
