From Russia 🇷🇺 With love.
More than 1000 reds fans have flown to Moscow for tonight's game and with the Spartak Ultras promising to break the English, rather them than me and after the U19's lost 2-1 we haven't made the best start.
The last fixture between the two sides was in 2002 when Liverpool won 3-1 thanks to a Michael Owen hatrick.
Tonight we'll hopefully see our first glimpse of the Fab Four, no not John, George, Paul & Ringo but Rather Mane, Coutinho, Firmino & Salah. Loris Karius will again be the In between the sticks and we'll be without Joe Gomez due to suspension and Nathanial Clyne & Adam Lallana miss out through injury.
Liverpool XI: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Coutinho, Salah, Mane, Firmino.
Subs: Mignolet, Flanagan, Klavan, Milner, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sturridge.
Spartak Moscow 1 v 1 Liverpool: LIVE

We need to accept that Karius is not good enough. Forget his poor ability with crosses and how he is with his feet, he is also a very poor shot stopper. His attempt at that free kick was shocking and it's not for the first time we have seen this.
I have a feeling that Klopp is going to continue to persist with him which will cost us.

Klopp has a stubborn side to his character that could start to become a real problem.
Continuing to play Karius when he is obviously just not good enough. Shipping out Sakho when he was obviously good enough but they had a disagreement. Refusing to accept publically the defence is poor and clearly refusing to focus on anybody other than a single talisman as a transfer target as a solution to our inevitable cost. Repeatedly instituting bizarre substitutions which only ever weaken our teams resolve and provide an immediate surge in confidence to the opposition.
All eyes on this weekend then, after such profligacy in Moscow anything less than a significant win against a Benitez-led Newcastle and the pressure will be increased a notch or two.

at people thinking Henderson had a bad game. Amazing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Really incredible.
He was excellent tonight. A couple of stray balls but completely controlled the game and put some great balls in also.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wouldn't say Henderson had a bad game but to suggest he was excellent sums up our fanbase.
He was just ok. Did nothing out of the ordinary, kept it simple and lets be honest, misplaced a few key passes in dangerous areas.
A 6 out of 10, nothing more.

Statistic of the day:
Karius has conceded 19 goals in his 19 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions

Pretty good then.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's what I was thinking
A goal a game is not bad at all.
Sadly it doesn't look like he will ever be the keeper Klopp and the scouts thought they were getting though.
Big decisions to be made with the keepers in the summer.

Not looking to wind people up here but I think mig is a decent keeper who just needs confidence in the shower in front of him.
I was a keeper, albeit at a very low level the dynamics don't change IMO. If I had no confidence in those in front of me I made more mistakes. So coming out to meet a ball I didn't need to etc. It works the other way too. If defenders don't have confidence in the keeper they too make mistakes
Sort your defence and I think your keepers become better, specifically mig as he isn't a bad keeper imo

He did lay a chance on the plate for Firmino only for Firmino to fluff his lines.

Yes, the likes of Robbing Hood say he was better than Kante. Look at the stats!!!
