That's a (relatively) weak Liverpool team. Shaqiri and Origi instead of Mane and Firmino is a win, and obviously the centre back situation is a huge opportunity for Antonio.
I want to enjoy this game but I am genuinely very nervous. In recent years it has at best been a free hit against Liverpool. Today seems so much more than this.
There’s a piece going round on the internet which said that Andrew Robertson took mane out of his fantasy football team a little while ago this giving a clue about his omission
I was really looking forward to watching this game on nbc, but they have rubbish motor racing on instead. On the other hand, when I watch we tend to lose, so maybe a good thing....
We’ve got to lose sometime and if it’s going to be soon I’d rather it was against Liverpool than either of Villa or Fulham which come up this week.
I’d rather it was against Fulham because [1] it means Jordan can equal the match thread creation record (although thinking about it I might need to double check that), [2] I already trash talked two Liverpool fans and don’t know any Fulham fans, [3] I like Scott Parker, and [4] it would be extremely West Ham of us
Normally I write these games off as an almost certain loss but today I’m more nervous because we do have a chance and I’ll actually be disappointed if we lose.

We really need to go for this.
Almost like I'll be really disappointed if we don't get something now...
Can you just get on with your job please Jorderz.
It’s odd...
You know it’s good when he tries to unnerve teams like that
