Liverpool (A) - Pre Match Thread

[mosssideblue]

the only thing i can bank on is come 6.30pm i am still a manchester city fan, win lose or draw am blue born and bread and what we have been served up over the last ten years liverpool can only dream of and just let me leave this here.............. 4 premier league titles

Exactly.

 

[Strike]

Bravo
Walker Stones Fernandinho
Cancelo De Bruyne Gundogan Bernardo Mendy
Sterling Aguero​

This would be my starting line-up too. Wouldn’t be surprised if Pep tried something different/new against Liverpool. That’s what he does and that’s why he is a genius.
My only problem would be Cancelo/Mendy pushing too far up the field making us vulnerable on the flanks when they counter.

I don’t believe this is the line-up we will see.

Oh I have eyes Karen and I see.

I agree Eddie is better than Bravo but if Bravo were that much of a concern that the defenders in front of him lost confidence and form as a result of him playing, then surely there would be more than just the odd BM poster saying this. Also, if he were as bad as you and one or two others are making out, why is he still 2nd choice and not 3rd choice.

Time for slagging him is over and it is time to get behind him, you never know he might have you and others eating your words again

He is 2nd choice because he has a contract and muric needed playing time,the defence have totally trust in eddie,bravo used to have a worse record for making saves in the whole prem,the defence without vinny needs to be confident,last 4 cl games he has 2 reds,he is a fucking nightmare

Get a grip ffs

 

[SebastianBlue]

Last 3 meetings? Are you for real? You will rather have a small sample size than one with broad perspective? That's a weak rebuttal. Try again, this time take your time.

You’re not particularly good at reading comprehension, awareness, and reasoning, are you?

 

[northwichblue]

I’d take a 0-1 win now.

No way we'll keep a clean sheet

 

[kaz7]

Not keen on facts then lol

 

[SebastianBlue]

But we are talking Liverpool vs Man City head to head here. Why are you deflecting?

No, he was talking about their unbeaten run.

You are the one that ignored what he said and decided to respond with an unrelated, arbitrary results set to make a point you wanted.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

It's the last 20 mins we have to look for,thats when they are diving and cheating for freekicks so they can lob it in the box and get pens,the late goals they are getting are not from fair tactics,we have to stay switched on right to the whistle

I concur but the game could be over in the first half an hour if we’re not switched on. Our intensity levels need to be much higher than we saw in the dismal second half showing against Atalanta.

 

[cjn]

So he didnt get the man. What happens if the guy didnt dive?

Bravo is on the floor 40 yards from goal with a striker clean through.

And you think that's not a fuck up! Unbelievable.

Dive/no dive, contact/no contact he has fucked up.

Even if he does get the ball, he's still just swatted it away with his hand way outside of his own box. Not sure in what universe that doesn't mean he fucked up.

I quite enjoyed the comedy ending to that game but i really don't want to see it in this game lol

Jesus has the miserable old myopic twat had a stroke ?

How is it unrelated? He claimed City would have ended Liverpool's unbeaten run if they had met and I presented a proof that it's unlikely considering the result of last 10 meetings.

 

[city saint]

In last 10 matches between Liverpool and City, we won 6 drew 2 and lost 2.
The stats disagree with you there my friend

very much with dodgy refs in about 3 of your wins

 

[abu13]

So Ederson, Laporte, Zinchenko, Rhodri, Merlin & Sane all unavailable through injury and very little being made of this in the press.

Can you imagine if they had Allison, Van Dyke, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho and Mane out you wouldn't hear the last of it.

 

[FlokeyTheRed]

You’re not particularly good at reading comprehension, awareness, and reasoning, are you?

Reading to comprehend you mean? Awareness? To what? You'll take reason over empirical proof?

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

I’ve noticed not one Bluemooner has Mahrez in their starting line up so Peps bound to play him

I’ve given up trying to second guess Pep, likes to be a big maverick in the big games so nothing would surprise me.

just hope Sterling turns up for this one. Scoring in front of the Kop would send RAWK into meltdown

 

[Kokonut1307]

Too many injuries. Without Laporte this fixture was always going to be tough but without Silva, Rodri, Sane, and now Ederson it really is mission impossible. Perhaps we should call Tom Cruise for assistance.
