I wish fans didn't pretend they know better than the best manager in the world whether a pair of X and Y is good enough or not.

Stop with this bullshit please. We beat Real at Bernabeu with Gundy and Rodri. We played well with them at Anfield too and lost more because of the referees and poor finishing than because of our midfield play.

Anyway, Bernardo will probably start instead of Gundy who played full games against Chelsea and Newcastle..

It's people having an opinion mate on who they'd like to see start, Its not people including myself thinking I know better than Pep!
We lost to Norwich, Wolves home and away, liverpool, Tottenham ect with Rodri and Gundogan both starting together. Its clear to see we lack legs in midfield when they both start. Tonight is a night were we can't afford to be over ran in midfield against a team that have three work horses in midfield. Bernardo and De Bruyne can dictate the game tonight and both can get around the pitch for 90 minutes.
 
It does appear many of our fans are unimpressed with Gundo, indeed he only seems to perform relatively well as a flat track bully when we play non attacking opposition. And when he plays alongside Rodri little seems to happen.

Tonight we are not playing surrender merchants so this would be the perfect time for him to come out & tear livarpool apart & therefore justify the managers choice !

Definitely not watching this on sky this evening , it will be an absolute wankfest of dippererness , in fact it should be on pornhub! Red Tyler will be doing blue tabs all afternoon so Ratboy has something to choke on , Spitty will be scouse personified , along with any other ex player they can shoehorn into the programme and I bet they are crawling out the woodwork! I wonder if they will get Slippy G back from Jockoland so sky can campaign for an honoury medal to be given to him? I just hope Kelly Dogleash can swim cos there's gonna be a lot of dipper fluid in that studio tonight !

Why pay for Sky? American streams are better.

Real are a very average side these days who we should be beating as are Barca. People having an opinion on City on a City forum who would have thought it.

I'm all for people to have and freely express their own opinions but I don't really think that the pair of Gundi and Rodri is as bad as it is often made out. If it is clear to see that the combo is not good enough, Pep and his staff will know it. They make mistakes too, and not trying Walker at CB is probably a mistake in my book, but we played with Gundy and Rodri in our best performances this season, e.g. Real away and Manure away in the cup. In all games we lost with Rodri and Gundy we made comic mistakes in defence and missed good chances. It's too simplistic to explain them with Gundy and Rodri starting the games.

Very average these days but still top of the league with some brilliant players and an excellent manager. If they are very average what are Atleti who beat Liverpool twice?

People are free to express their opinion and other people are free to say it's bullshit.

Just when think it couldn't get any worse. Now I'm beginning to think NBCSN might do that when we give them the GOH. That would be sickening. I'm definitely tuning in after the kick off.

Sorry I meant average by theirs and Barcelona’s previous standards. Freakish results can happen and Liverpool on balance should have hammered Atleti at Anfield but a reserve keeper fucked up and cost them the tie. Wolves and utd have beat us twice but I’d hardly class either as great sides off the back of that.

I would start Foden tonight, he has earned his place with his post lockdown performances.

I would be surprised if our Spanish legend won't be picked as a starter
by his grateful Spanish coach in any big match left for the rest of his career
that hopefully will end with some more silver glory.
Farewell tour 2020.

Foden could start on LW though, but I think he will come on for David after an hour.

They are rested and will press high. I hope we won't give it away on the counter as usual
and make it too easy for them.

And can we have a ref please who just looks after the fuckin rules no matter which club is playing?

By their standards Real are good, albeit not great yet, and are winning the league. Liverpool had 0 shots on target in Madrid against the 6th team in La Liga, we had 9 shots on target at Bernabeu. Why take away from our performance in order to back up a questionable point against our manager?

Wolves played against 10 man City for 80 minutes and needed gifts from our defenders to win both games while we hit the post. United away Pep made many changes. Different cases altogether, imo.
 
Unfortunately I only see a Liverpool win unless all.our players put in a peak performance. They are better than us at the moment, especially in defence and attack. The result of course isn't majorly important but it would be nice to win.

What counts as "the moment" now? They haven't been that great since January and had a poor performance against Everton recently. They looked good against a toothless Palace team but so did we against Arsenal, Burnley and Newcastle.

Personally, I'm confident that we'll play quite well.
 
I see our game being advertised on sky has bloody Gerry and the pacemakers singing you'll never walk alone as the backdrop. It really is sickening.
 
This is the only lockdown league game I can get properly arsed about. I don't see it as an entirely dead rubber. We need to show them we can beat them. If we lose to them again it will only add to the inferiority complex we seem to have - albeit mainly at their place. It is a game where Foden needs to be given a significant opportunity to shine. And I would like to see them fall short of our records and realistically that won't happen if we don't beat them. Three reasons to be beerfull tonight.
