Liverpool (A) - Pre Match Thread

Mendy out for "tactical reasons"

Large crowds of Liverpool fans greet the Manchester City bus as it pulls off Anfield Road into the stadium - but certainly nothing in the way of great hostility.

Manchester City were concerned about a repeat of the attack on their bus before the Champions League quarter-final here in April 2018 after a poster appeared on social media calling for Liverpool supporters to "greet" its arrival.

There was jeering, gestures and the odd red flare but absolutely nothing untoward and all relatively tame and civilised.

I feel sad at the negativity here. We are defending champions and treble winners; what is wrong with people here at times?

Can't bear gundy in a game like this when he will runners going past him

 

[Groke]

Rodri at CB?

Gundog is against Henderson and firmino and winjaldum.
He will have a field day against them cloggers .

His best games of late are when he has all the time in the world to play dinky dinky’s from deep against buses. He won’t be given an inch today.

Target and wind up Lovren. Get him booked early and carry on targeting him.

 

[Mancityus]

Gundo haters out before a ball has even been kicked..... Sigh.

Means he will score today.

 

[blueeeee]

Not confident at all tbh given circumstances... but I hope to be proven wrong.
