We’ve spanked these 8 - 4 on aggregate this season.
They are a decent side, I can’t deny that, but we are a friggin awesome side.
We are 18 points clear of them for a reason, plus a game in hand.
All this bullshit spouting from them that they were the team we didn’t want to draw, I will say that the team they’d didn’t want to draw was us, they shit themselves at Wembley didn’t come out of their own half.
We will go through over the 2 legs.
We used to be biter, but now we are just so much Better, and that’s what hurts.
Let spotty Joey from Bootle wave his flag, set off his flare, bang his drum and make a noise, coz we will smash them on the pitch and I think we will match or better their famous atmosphere next Wednesday.
C’mon City smash theses jokers.

The variable missing from your post is related to City’s (in-)experience in this competition.

When you look at the 11 players that will be on the field, the potential subs, and the managers Liverpool have less experience in this competition than City. Your point would be a good one if we were facing Barca, Real or Bayern. Hpwever, we are talking about a Liverpool side who have history in this competition, as a club, but for those on the field they have absolutely no advantage.

I just hope we have a decent start against them, the last few years we always seem to be a goal down within the first 20 minutes. No doubt if we concede it's because of the atmosphere of the special European nights that money can't buy.

I really can't stand the cult around Liverpool. No league titles for 28 years but they've got all the history and next year is always their year.

No league titles for 28 years - we are 18 points ahead of them in the league with a game in hand - but the media say we are equals in Europe??? - so who’s got the better Champions League record over recent years? We’ve been in it Year after year, they haven’t and we’ve made a semi final which they haven’t. The media have talked some right shit over recent weeks and I really hope we stuff them tonight.

But I didn't miss the point you're making, did I? The question is how WE will respond. In a CL QF where WE are considered favorites. That is why the whole Liverpool environment insists "the pressure is on City"...

On it now
 
Pressure is all on them,i think we can stay calm and deal with their headless chicken routine,hope it's vinny and nico at the back,john has too many mistakes in him at the moment,keep our heads even if we go behind and concentrate and we should get 1 or 2 away goals

Despite his poor performances at Anfield in the past there’s no way I’d be leaving Sterling out tonight.

Hopefully Pep will put his arm around him and give him the confidence and opportunity to shut the scousers up.

The thought of him scoring or even better getting the winner surely outweighs the possibility of him having a quiet game.

Also, any over-the-top challenges to get the crowd on side you’d hope would result in cards being shown.

Sterling has already shown mental toughness throughout the season and this will only go towards his character building, which will stand him in good stead for the rest of his City career

You make a very good point it is very much a double edged sword. The general expectation is that Sterling will as on previous visits go into his shell and quiver every time he gets the ball and be ineffective. However, maybe tonight things will be different and he could turn on a five star display and silence the dippers. The manager is the man who is tasked with the responsibility of deciding which is the more likely outcome and we don't have much longer to wait to find out his decision. Either way I believe he knows best.
 
Hope all the lucky Blues that got a ticket have a fantastic time. Be careful, don’t get isolated.
There’s no reason why we shouldn’t win this, we have a very competent team to counter the delusional dippers in all areas.
Take our chances and we WILL come back home with a win!!!
Butterflies is an understatement.
 
For me Sterling is the dilemma tonight, all week I have been wanting Bernardo to start but I am drawn by the width and pace offered by Sane and Sterling on the wings.

Jesus, we really are their cup final when we play them. Rags you have been demoted. It will be like taking candy off a baby when we score tonight.

Yeah, why do they all start acting like the cast of Wicker Man around us? They're just another team to most City fans. It's a very one-sided rivalry.
