Putting a grand on a Liverpool win

There are plenty on this thread that should do the same at 13/5

I think the dippers will try and catch us off guard and go for it straight away, we wont be expecting it.

Did Kyle Walker ever play left back for Spurs in an emergency, or have I imagined that?

Lets hope he can play there as he is not that good at RB at the moment

That's a 27.8% chance. Probably got nearer 32% so it's a good bet but I don't think they will win.

I hope to see Danilo as right back today, as Walker shows he is not an intelligent defender. He is simply fast and nothing else. Acts before he thinks.
Then I hope to see Laporte as a leftback with Kompany and Stones forming the centre back pairing. The reason for Kompany is he is very strong in the air and very experienced. Laporte is the only good option as a left back for me. Zinchenko wouldn't stand a chance. This is by far our best defense as it is now.

Ball control will be vital in this game, so for me Mahrez should be a given on the right. Then KDB from start, with D. Silva and Ferna. Sané or Sterling depending on form, with Aguero in the middle.

This is a must-win. If we lose, we can kiss the league goodbye. Liverpool would never drop 10 points, they are too stable.

 

[Jordie]

Getting an early goal might help too!

I think that is really key to how tonight will go, it will settle us down and mean that they have to come at us, which plays into our hands. Hopefully ;-)

Good they will be wide open and we will score

 

[rnblade]

The dippers will be ecstatic if they don’t see KDB on the team sheet tonight.
Ferni and Merlin will be pivotal tonight.

Laporte CB only

I think we might.
In the League game at ours last season they threw the kitchen sink at us right from the off.

 

[cityzens]

In normal cases, yes. If we had a decent leftback. We don't.

 

[Jordie]

Noooooooooooo

Stop dicking about

Laporte CB only

I'm fairly confident in saying he won't be picking the team

I'm sure Kevin will be starting

Rumor has it Robertson hasn’t traveled

Rumor has it Robertson hasn’t traveled

So that's VVD and Robertson out so far...

Source?

 

[stonerblue]

Just about to step out for pre match drinks.

Would like to see the same defensive attitude we showed at theirs earlier this season, coupled with fast and direct from the midfield. Not sure any of our right wingers can get the better of Robertson so Leroy on the right from the off. Strong left side defensively as well to counter their out-ball to Salah.

COME ON CITY

Longjohns lads, longjohns.
