Honestly, checking the Liverpool lineup today before the Forest match nearly shat me sideways. Woke up late, scrambled for my phone while spilling coffee everywhere. Totally typical morning chaos.
My Usual Lineup Check Mess
First thing, I dashed to that app everyone uses, hoping it wasn’t lagging. Refreshed it like a maniac, thumb hitting the screen so hard I thought it might crack. Why do servers always crawl during big match days? It’s like they want us to panic.
- Knew Ali was injured, but seeing Kelleher named starter again still made me sigh.
- Scrolled past the defence – big relief spotting Virgil there. Felt a tiny bit less anxious.
- Midfield… Szobo and Mac Allister, obviously. Gravenberch on the left felt a bit meh, like here we go again hoping he clicks.
- Then the front three: Mo, Nunez, Diaz. No Jota on the sheet at all. Gut dropped. Injury? Rest? Zero bloody explanation!
The Absolute Carnage Online
Once the sheet was official, jumped onto forums. Complete madhouse. Half the lads were screaming about why Endo wasn’t starting. Others were already writing off Gravenberch, calling the selection rubbish before kickoff. Whole subreddit lost their damn minds instantly.
Started scribbling notes in my little match day notepad – messy handwriting, coffee stain included. Key points: Kelleher in goal (hold your breath), Tsimikas starting again (please don’t get injured!), and Nunez up top needing a goal bad.
Why Bother Doing This?
It’s chaos, every single time. Takes ages, gets my pulse up too high, and honestly? Half the time that official sheet drops later than fan rumours anyway. Feels like running around shouting at clouds sometimes.
But damn… gotta do it. The panic, the arguing online, the instant hot takes… it’s part of the match. Like my own stupid pre-game ritual. Left the notes open on the table right before kickoff, ready to see if Klopp actually got it right this time. Spoiler: that first half? Oof.
