VVD set to miss today's game apparently due to a tight hamstring.

Damn i was pinning my hopes on him playing and providing some solidity or at least vocality to the back line.

Really worried that we will get humiliated again.

Its a coming, me too. I'm not confident about this game now not one bit. I'm excited about it but right now I'll take a point, infact I'll be very happy with a point today.

Jeez. it's all doom and gloom on here isn't it! Man city's defence isn't the best either guys, come on- Chins up! Let's see the posts tonight around 6.

Liverpool have the best defensive record at home, in the whole league. Van Dijk hasn't contributed to that at all.

So I'm not going to have a mini melt down over him missing the game, which is still just a rumour anyway.

I think we will be fine with Lovren and Klavan today. As long as Can and Gini show up and provide some support and protection from midfield. VVD injured is a minor blow, not a big issue.

If people think that VVD will fix ALL our defensive issues, then yeah, start panicking. Also, People are aware that VVD could have gotten injured during the warm up or during his first sprint, right? If we win, lose or draw, it won't be cos VVD did not play or Cou was sold. It will be 100% due to what happens on the pitch, how the game plays out and who can make their domination phases count, profit from a team's mistakes and tactical adaptations in-game from the managers. That is it and nothing more. The doom and gloom is becoming tiresome.

{Ed002's Note - It is not a "tight" hamstring, van Dijk has no more than a little dog bite on his "right" hamstring. #WonderDogSparky has explained this whilst the Fat Kid from Bolton said nothing.}

Thing is that they humped us 5-0 and ran through us at willl, it will virtually be the same line up that got battered at the Etihad and since we have no central midfield to speak of to protect whoever plays in centre defence I’m not exactly confident that we can stop them running riot since neither Klavan or Lovren deal with mobile attackers very well. If it was United I wouldn’t be worrried as they are a very static one dimensional team, if we get out of this with a draw that will be a good result.

Your post is based on what exactly Dennis? because if i remember correctly we were the better side until Mane got sent off. You seem to have forgot that completely, you really think we would have lost 5-0 with 11 vs 11? I think that is very very unlikely.

Dennis what are you talking about with another nonsense post from you with 11 v 11 we were the better team at there place, it was only when we went down to 10 men they walked thru us. Damn some people on here ovs don't watch the games or take notice then just come on and spew crap get a grip man will you.
Today's game is at anfield we have best home defensive record in league also we haven't been beat of city at home for a long time up the mighty reds 3-1.

11 v 11 at city we matched them. Where we get we were the better team is purely biased opinion. Mane getting sent off was the turning point but all 5 of their goals were clinical with Mignolet not even close to saving any. City will likely be just as clinical today and we will again have Mignolet in goal. We need to ensure that we restrict their opportunities because if it gets left to Mignolet to save us then that is not happening.

We were 1-0 down when he was sent off. We were unable to stop them scoring with 11 men on the pitch and every time they went near our goal you could sense trouble. We lack quality in midfield, defence and goal.

VVD shouting and orchestrating our defence from the sidelines 😂.

Come on Dennis. Chin up. Pessimism get's you no further than to be able to say "I told you so". Optimism gives you the courage to strive for better. If we all had a defeatist attitude before we start, then what's the point of getting out of bed? - says the depressant.

Yeah a bit of a gutter but our home defensive record as been very good without him.
