Liverpool (a) - CL Quarter Final pre-match thread

[Magicpole]

I’m a fucking nervous wreck already! Arse like a puppies nose.

Arse going like a rabbits nostrils is how mine goes before big games.

Please destroy this lot. If they get a result, they'll be claim g they've won it.

Good luck...

1-3 to City

IF we turn up tonight then i think over the 2 legs we'll beat them and win well but there's still that nagging doubt as to whether we'll turn up.

Oh jeez. I hope you're not goin tonight

We need conviction not a wet Fanny

If the tie is won in the first leg or we are comfortable position, won’t be such a bad idea for Fernandinho to pick that yellow so he can miss the second leg and then be available for the Semis. I’m sure Pep or his team has been in his ear and told him the scenarios.

A la Ramos last night. Dunno if the cards get cleared for semis ?

This is not a league game it is a champions league game, we need to remember that it doesn't end after 90 minutes and away goals count for everything. My bet is Pep is demanding goals tonight, lots of them. Even if they repeat their *famous* 4-3 win then all we have to do is win 1-0 at home and we are through.

All they have banged on about in the build up to this is Anfield and the last time we went to Anfield but they haven't considered the last time Liverpool went to the Etihad where they got completely mullered. So tonight they are going to try and get it done at their place and the best way to get past that is to equal or outscore them which we can do easily.

Lets give them their 20 minutes of running around like lunatics, singing their cult tune, setting fire to the place and waving their flags but for us all we have to do is turn up and play our football which is the only part that matters and we are better than them at it.

If we can keep the ball as good as we did at Everton and limit their chances then all that is left is taking chances.

4-3 tonight would be a decent result

Surely no Blue in their right mind is gonna want to listen to an hour of Gerrard and Ferdinand, possibly Scholes too, before 90 minutes of McManaman or possibly Owen?

Jeez.....what a bunch of slack gobbed monosyllabic tramps.

Not one of them can string a coherent sentence together without gobbing like Carragher on speed !!

The pundits should be completely independent of both clubs.

This ridiculous rain could see someone get caught out on the night.

Rumoured Liverpool team:

Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, VVD, Robertson - Milner, Oxlade-Ch, Henderson - Mane, Salah, Firmino

Proper dog midfield that, we will control it with Silva on the pitch this time.
They're hanging their hat on the 4-3, where we were without the best player in the country at holding possession high up the pitch

Other than the front three, that team is gash. Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Milner, Ox and Henderson wouldn’t get in our second team.
