@AnfieldRd96 Relax, it’s the Carabao, and we’ve got our U21’s playing. HT scoreline isn’t shocking.
We’ve looked way better than Saturday already. 3-5-2 is the way forward!
Back to basics against Chelsea 🔢
• Midfield 3 that won us the league.
• Ekitike on the left unless injured.
• Bradley at right back.
• Robertson comes in.
• Konate dropped.
• Mamardashvili in for Alisson.
Thoughts? 🤔
Virgil van Dijk ahead of Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid:
“This competition means an awful lot to everyone associated with the club.”
“You don’t need me to tell you about the wonderful memories Liverpool has created in the Champions League down the years, but the aim now is to create a few more in the coming weeks and months.”
“That is an exciting prospect for sure. The league-phase draw has thrown up some brilliant fixtures; big games against top sides, in amazing stadiums and in front of some of the most passionate supporters around. How can you not be excited for that as a player?”
“Of course, we know it won’t be easy. You only need to look at tonight’s opponents to realise that. Atletico have been one of the best and most consistent teams around for many years now. They have a top manager, top players, and we need to be ready to work extremely hard if we are to start with a positive result.”
“We will also need you guys at your best. Your support has helped make a difference many times previously in big Champions League games, and I hope that is the case again this evening. Let’s make Anfield the place no team in Europe will want to visit.” (LFC)
After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season.
This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life.
I know many of you have wondered why or been frustrated that I haven’t spoken about this yet, but it was always my intention to keep my full focus on the team’s best interests, which was securing No.20.
This club has been my whole life – my whole world - for 20 years. From the Academy right through until now, the support and love I have felt from everyone inside and outside of the club will stay with me forever. I will forever be in debt to you all.
But, I have never known anything else and this decision is about experiencing a new challenge, taking myself out of my comfort zone and pushing myself both professionally and personally.
I’ve given my all every single day I’ve been at this club, and I hope you feel like I’ve given back to you during my time here.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank everybody – my coaches, my managers, my teammates, the staff and our incredible supporters - for the last 20 years.
I’ve been blessed enough to live out my dreams here and I will never, ever take for granted the special moments I’ve been fortunate enough to have lived through with you all. My love for this club will never die.
