When we lost to them last year, we had a couple of home games afterwards to jump right back in the saddle, whereas they have to go to Wolves and then Brighton after they face us. Wolves is in the Cup, of course. While we played within ourselves in the corresponding fixture, we did enough to win it, but this time I think we need to go all out to win it.
They will come at us from the off,hoping to get a quick goal and put us under the cosh possibly expecting us to be slightly fragile in the mindset if conceding early doors,think we need us the fans to be right on them and give these cnuts a taste of their own medicine,booing every time they touch the ball,jeering every foul to be putting pressure on the ref anything to create a horrible atmosphere for them to make it totally uncomfortable..
Zinchenko as a wingback against them is laughable. The position on the pitch that you most need pace and an unbelievable engine.
I think you need to read your post again. You said if Mahrez & Gundog start, they may well have a 2-0 start, and now you have changed your tack and are ranting on about defence being poor. You are just always a glass half empty posterTake your blue tinted specs off pal, you have to admit we are defensively frail at the moment. We have some serious injuries to our squad but should have enough to give them a scare, but if we squander the chances like we have been, then we cannot blame anyone for a loss v Dippers.
I expect Pep to play
---------Eddie-------------
Walker-Stones-Laporte-Danilo
------Silva------Ferny----
Mahrez--Silva--Sterling
---------Aguero-----------
Liverpool will play for a draw, they just dont want to lose, we will play conservative, then hit them at some point
Not for me mate, but we will seeThis is a game when we should play 3 at the back. Its a time for a pragmatic selection.
Sterling always plays shit against them, so keep on the bench until we have control or need more going forward if chasing the game.
Vinny is just too slow and is a red card waiting to happen against them. Doubling up the holding players in MF should give is better control of the midfield.
for me
Ederson
Stones The Otter Laporte
Walker Danilo. Ferna Zinchenko
Bernardo (Kev if fit) Dave
Sergio
Not sure he'd cope with their press.I expect Pep to play

Both silvas must play id goEderson
Walker Stones Laporte Danilo
KDB Fernandinho Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane
Yep, can’t argue with that.Huge game if we're to retain the title. Hopefully De Bruyne will be available again after missing out today, but left-back is the most pressing issue in terms of team selection. I'd go:
Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Laporte
Danilo
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
D Silva
Sterling
Sane
Aguero
What about Stones at LB? Not ideal, but we don't have anything close to a perfect option here.
Merlin surely?Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Danilo
Fernandinho
Kdb
Bernardo
Sterling
Aguero
Sane
Already buzzing for this come on blue boys.
