We Have To Be Ruthless – Liverpool Star Bemoans Spartak Moscow Draw

Overall, some 1,145 United Kingdom fans are expected to come to Moscow to watch Champions league matches.

“If Liverpool are on TV, everyone wants to watch”.

“We’ve discussed Liverpool with Conte”, said Carrera, who led Spartak to their first Russian title since 2001 last season after succeeding Dmitri Alenichev at the dawn of the campaign.

“I know he’s trying to protect his goalkeeper a little bit there, but I don’t think the keeper is someone you can protect in this instance”. I was watching Liverpool [v Leicester] in the pub. Everyone is still on edge.

They were protesting UEFA’s decision to punish Spartak for a flare fired at the referee during the club’s previous Champions League fixture. The pressure will be firmly on them on Tuesday night, as a loss to Liverpool would make qualification hard for them to achieve. Instead they’ll be showing what is unquestionably the most entertaining tie of the evening, Borussia Dortmund vs.

In the end it was the same old story for Liverpool, enjoying the lion’s share of possession and chances, yet failing to find the all-important clinical edge to their game and succumbing to the few chances their opposition were afforded.

“It’s obvious that they’re strong and have plenty of star players in their line-up”.

Changes are likely to be made around the team for the Liverpool, with Mane and Sturridge both expected to start in attacking positions.

“They’re dominating possession and creating endless chances”.

Mohamed Salah has impressed for Liverpool this season (Mike Egerton/PA) But even the arrival of winger Mohamed Salah, who is proving an instant success, striker Dominic Solanke, full-back Andrew Robertson and midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has not done enough to address the overall issue, according to Souness. The club won their first domestic title for 16 years last term, although have won just three of their first 11 matches in 2017-18 and now sit ninth. Liverpool go into this game knowing that a draw would not necessarily be a negative result, but a win would nearly certainly cripple their opponents’ hopes of qualification. And in 1996/97, that was when they had that mad Newcastle and Southampton games, when they conceded 11 goals in a week.
