Liverpool (Away) - Pre Match Thread

[BerkshireBlue]

Incredible how people, even those that were there or watched on TV all have forgotten that we were actually winning when Mane was sent off - but I guess that doesn't fit the myth

Not only winning we had 3 1v1s as well we could have easily ended the half being 4 nil up

This is from Henry on skysports

"At the very beginning of the game City scored against the run of play. City were exposed on their left-hand side with [Nicolas] Otamendi and [Mohamed] Salah taking advantage of [Fabian] Delph, who we all know is not a left back, and Otamendi was exposed."

Now considering Delph wasn't even playing I'd question whether he actually watched the game. Plus there is no need for the dig about not being a left back. He is a left back and he's been the best in the league at it

They still live for the return of Shankly and Paisley.

They won't win another title until one of them returns.

Or another sugar daddy, unfortunately Littlewoods pools won't be helping them to re-stock anytime soon.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

And my point is, using history as an excuse to flap is pointless because City are making history this season. Have won there only once in 35 years? No team has achieved what City have this season in over 120 years of English top flight football.

If you don't have confidence that People Guardiola can go there and get a win then you haven't been paying attention this season. Arrogant or otherwise, the dippers are the underdogs. We've twatted them once this season and we'll do it yet again.

Edit: As for Bellamy, anyone can in theory beat anyone, but in reality no team has beaten City and that's not by fluke.

Your boring me now. Your first post was full of immature comments.yawn and bye.

On current form, I dont see much wrong with that assertion.

He’s played one fucking game!

I have watched this game a few times and Salah had one tame shot on goal in the first half that was saved pretty easily.

Mane was their main threat but again no end product.

Second half was probably our easiest match at home bar Stoke all season.

No matter the result on Sunday , Liverpool are overrated.

Yep that's how I saw the game as well. Changing to 4 at the back instead of 3 will cut off Mane's threat and their midfield is just turd so we should be able to stream roll them

 

[Ancient Citizen]

They have had the result changed from earlier in the season it now officially reads : MANCHESTER CITY 5 LIVERPOOL (But we would have won if we didnt have a man sent off) 0

The amount of Liverpool fans who have now convinced themselves that they would have definitely, without
a shadow of a doubt, won this match if it wasn't for Mane being sent off is unreal. I speak to loads of them,
pointing out that they were already 1-0 down, and yes, they had most of the possession for around a 20 minute period,
something we have almost as a matter of course in every game, and why didn't they score during this domination?
Then there is the ludicrous assumption that City, with the most devastating attack in the league,
(not theirs, ours, as the stats prove), wouldn't score again, oh no. Then, with 10 men, they go on to get twatted 5-0,
something that's not happened to any team as yet in the same circumstances, why did they concede so many,
could it be that City are a far better side?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Thought they were poor against Burnley and Everton but suppose it'll be their Cup Final.

I am not saying it will be a walk in the park and Liverpool have improved since and we are not at our clinical best in front of goal at present.

If the ref is half decent on the day and we perform at near our best we should be ok.

Liverpool don't hold any threat for me personally especially now that Coutinho has deserted them knowing they had little chance in Europe this year.

Their best players will always go to bigger clubs.

This game will be Razs revenge. He will step up and bag the winner to give us first win in 35 years and it will be worth the wait

Funny how all journos / pundits / refs, support smaller non Prem Clubs!
Wonder how many games Woking, Alty etc they're actually been to, or even been seen supporting, other than in another "non biased" smokescreen stance?

 

[foggy1974]

Looks like they will try and line up to match us 4-3-3/4-1-2-3. So it will be interesting how our middle 3 tear theres apart. This is how we won at the Swamp by isolating Matic, who is a better dm than Can.
There front 3 are a threat but in the past against Klopps Liverpool we have struggled matching the runners from midfield. This season, Pep has improved Kev and Merlin's reaction to their defensive responsibilities.

My thoughts too, maybe the dippers have our concerns, regarding returning players.

I know Anfield wins are rare for us but not that rare!

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

We have been better than them for around 7:8 years now but still haven't won so it won't be easy. Something about that place that seems to affect us! Start the game well is the key.

So that's 2 clubs he supports then, Woking and the rags?

We isolated Matic by pushing Jesus wide left and using Sterling as a false 9 creating an overload in midfield that they never got to grips with, we won't have that option in this game (can't see him dropping Aguero for Bernardo) but with the dippers lack of discipline in midfield I'd expect Silva and Kev to find plenty of space without it.

Your boring me now. Your first post was full of immature comments.yawn and bye.

What a dick, you quoted his post first. And ever since you’ve been a patronising cockend to him.

You sound very arrogant and young.one of the reasons I can't stand the other club is because of their arrogant fans.

Football is a funny old game young man.

Then you used some bollocks about what Craig Bellamy said about anyone can beat anyone, @Metalartin shut you up with the following

Bellamy said a lot of bitter shit too along the lines of: Liverpool are a great-fantastic-brilliant club and I love them but we have football clubs like man city owned by countries now and you can't compete with that"

To which all you could muster was

Good post.

You’re a negative idiot and what @Akiva originally posted was not arrogant, it was based on what we’ve seen this season. He even explained that to you in a subsequent post after you’d jumped on him.
I think anyone can see you’re the boring one. Yawn indeed.
