@Nico1 It's actually hard to hate Adrian (like Kepa). But like Kepa he keeps punishing errors and when that happens every defender is on edge and plays worse. Didn't watch the whole game, but he made another huge error here and was lucky it didn't lead to goal. Otherwise everyone would be talking about that again. Fabinho looks like a very solid CB.
Nice to see that one of my 3 comments forecasting this game (the most insightful one) got censored for no reason! Or, I guess when you are too insightful, you will be censored. The Truth shall not come out nowadays!
...and why is Ajax so dangerous that even Klopp fears them, you might ask? The answer is simple: in addition to being super talented, these young guys have nothing to lose and everything to gain by playing their best against the likes of Liverpool: who wouldn't want to follow in the footsteps of Zyach, Frenkie De Jong, Van de Beek, Matthijs de Ligt, Haaland, Minamino or Jadon Sancho after all??? This game is their single best chance to sell themselves as soon as next season for big money. This thought in itself will keep them super motivated and Klopp knows this! He learned a lot from the Salzburg experience or from the past performances of Ajax.
P.S. Since the overwhelming majority of bettors would never adopt such a defensive mindset, they fall prey to "wishful thinking", which is an enormous mistake. Time and again bettors fail to realize that coaches nowadays (and their players as well) are incredibly coward - they play an honest, attacking football ONLY when they are cornered and they MUST win the game to advance in the next round. Even then they tend to wait till the last minute with a single decisive goal. It is a really disgusting strategy because it ends up disrespecting the fans, the opponent, and the game itself!
@Olegend20 I'm sorry to disappoint you, Olegend20, but you seem to have Adrian confused with a goalkeeper. Now, if you'll excuse me my fondue is just about....
Lol at all the haters who thought Liverpool couldn't keep a clean sheet without Alisson and Van Dijk

No one is a good finisher and attacking midfielder in AJAX
I like how Ajax players are shooting from anywhere, they're like just get the ball to Adrian, he'll do the rest.
lol, Klopp subbed out all three attackers, is he okay? :D
@Crece282 I explained why he will do this well in advance BUT the Admin censored me for telling the Truth!
@Zoltan Did your explanation include info about anyone's parents?
0-1 final score
Easy win for Ajax
wow this is amazing
2-3, Adrian guarantees at least 2 conceded goals.
They call Adrian 'dracula' as he is scared of crosses. :)
@nexus747 l0000000l
@nexus747 lol
Ajax 2-1
1-4
@FerreiraCarrasco Nah, Ajax won't lose this game mate.
@stefanm Hopelijk niet!
No way in hell Labyad is starting up front vs Liverpool.
2-2 Having an unreliable GK is so much worse when you have low confidence as it is.

Ajax is missing Antony. They will play with Tadic upfront and Neres en Promes probably on the wings. In midfield Alvarez, Klaassen and Kudus.
With Virgil missing and the clown Adrian in goal,Ajax have a chance of getting at least a draw.
@nexus747 Aston Villa: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Definitely not a good time to be in a group with Ajax and Atalanta. If Alisson starts, 1-2
@benj If not, 3-2
Liverpool's defense is going to be shaky, 2-2 is my prediction
Both to score probably a banker. Liverpool without v. Dijk and Alisson. Both teams got the quality upfront.
Get ready everyone, Adrian's about to do something stupid
@Olegend20 I'm sorry to disappoint you, Olegend20, but you seem to have Adrian confused with a goalkeeper. Now, if you'll excuse me my fondue is just about....
Over 2.5 goals
no defence, just vibes
@CaptinSprinklez LFC back to its 1718 self
Virgil van dijk has got to have surgery and could be missing for the rest of the season which will be a huge loss to Liverpool.
Tadic 2-1.
