Target Mane, it won't take much for the little shit to lose control as per the Arse game. Dhino and Mane had some fiery exchanges in the game at Anfield, expect the same on Thursday and it is imperative we don't give Taylor any opportunity to send off any of our players

Won’t need to. I’m sure he’ll be banned for choking a player in their last match, let me just put SSN on, I’m sure it’ll be on loop until the authorities review it...

... nothing there yet, but it’s coming. Any moment now, they’re going to mention it....

... just bear with me...
 
Liverpool will target Fernan in the middle of the park because they know that the play goes through him. They have done it before and they will try it again - we have to be very savvy and if needed by-pass Fernan when necessary and get the flanks running at both robertson et al.

Liverpool are very shrewd and klopp has them playing in a way that allows them to impose their style over the opposition - however as it has been shown in the CL final last year and in this season especially when they have played away from home in the CL, you dont allow that to happen then liverpool look very average and have been beaten easily

Choking - lol, a bit of artistic licence there blue
 
Otamendi is too rash at times, and Kompany (much as I love him) is getting too slow these days. If these two play there will be a penalty and a sending off.
We've only Pool once in the last four years and that was against ten men, but we can always hope.

Dont play Laporte as LB, he didn't do well the last time he played there against Liverpool.

I hope Laporte & Stones start in the middle.

Walker on the right, Danilo on the left.

Gundogan on the bench please.

Was that not as part of a back three. Personally VK instead of John for me, leadership
 
We can win this if...

Pep doesn't go all smart arse with the team selection,everyone in their best position

Don't break up john and eric

Don't give them an excuse to dive

Take control right from the off,don't give them an early chance as they will take it

Don't panic if they score first

Swarm all over them,everyone pressing

We are the home team and the centurians,play like it

Don't leave the back door open

I'm confident

My head hurts now

Sounds more impressive than it actually is given they have conceded 2+ goals in Cup competitions seven times since then.

U right Laporte didnt play well back then but he wasnt so good as a CB also as he is now.
It was not long after he arrived and he still try to adjust.
I think he is the only one who can stop Salah ,I wont play Zinchenko It would be a suicide

My big fear for this game is that it reminds me of when Leicester came to ours in their championship season, their main strength goes up against our main weakness. We all knew before that game that they were going to sit deep, let us have loads of possession but then have the capability to counter attack us at speed. That's exactly what happened then and I'm expecting the same this time. Having said that, we are a far better outfit now than we were then so we should be able to create decent chances against them. We just need to take them.

To add to it, we had drawn 0-0 with them at their place and should have won from the penalty spot :)

But seriously, I think the parallels end there. Nobody really saw Leicester coming. Liverpool are rolling into town like a smashed up bus, accompanied by a cavalcade of media lapdogs.
 
Dippers will play deep & hit long balls on the break. They have no need to win the game, just not lose, with that in mind we need to utilise a fast back line, Walker, Danilo, Stones & Laporte. Sadly Komps has no place starting but should we get in front would be a big asset off the bench when they need to attack from behind.

Don't think Pep will but maybe Kun & Jesus up top could cause them more problems too.
 
I’m interested to see the whole team but think who Pep chooses as the wide men will be a big sign of who he really trusts.

Given we are going to have a makeshift left back then Sterling is the obvious choice on the right as he is a more reliable tracker back....and if so I hope he goes for Bernie on the left as he’s so much more energetic than Mahrez.

But....Sane could work havoc down the left working in tandem with Dave, allowing Sterling to go right. The Sane/Sterling combo is IMO our best one but does Pep trust Sane enough??
