What a dickhead you are

Post after post for last couple of weeks. She's a rag wanker

Their makeshift defence has the dilemma that they don’t know who is going where. Who are they picking up in the middle Mahrez or Sterling? It’s going to drag one of them out of position if one of Sterling or Mahrez drops deeper to pick the ball up. It worked so far in the away trips since the turn of the new year, if it turns into a slog in midfield we can out number them with inverted full backs. City have to do their job on their full backs and not give them time to get their heads up and put it long.

Yeah I see the thinking behind it but for me jesus gives them a harder time, they're midfielders out of position, they'll naturally struggle to pick up on his strikers movement anyway, and they're arguably more used to picking up runners from deep, plus you get more work rate from jesus than any of our forwards. Let's hope its a Pep masterclass.

Leicester finished 0-0.

4 pts behind and we have 2 games in hand

 

[01cravend]

Salah will definitely have Zin on strings, but Dias will clatter through him anytime he gets past.

Leicester finished 0-0.

This game is now a free hit, but we still need to smash the cûnts

 

[hilts]

The pressures on the scousers we don't have to win the game , regardless of todays result we're still winning the league no one is as good as us by a long way

I hope you are right fella, I think a win today would completely knock the stuffing out of them, with some tricky games coming up 3 points today would give us a huge advantage. I expect them to start the game very aggressive.

Good point. A false 9 should in theory test their tactical prowess more than a traditional 9 may.

I'm pretty happy with the team. The back 4 is our best one at the moment in my opinion. Could arguably have played Jesus but he can always come off the bench if needed. It's a strong team.

We havent got a great left back at the club,so no one choice is ever going to please all.The other 3 players are as good as it gets though.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

So toothy rested 3 players mid week for this game.....I’ll be sure to tune in early to hear the sky team lambasting him for his arrogance assuming he would stroll to a win against Brighton.....

 

[babyape]

Weak team for them. Great form for us. None of this usual standing off and showing too much respect. Get at them early and get it done.

COME ON CITY !!!

 

[SK14BLUE]

3-0 city sterling to score at least one Mahrez mom. Cmon city!!!!

 

[Chi-town blues]

I was really hoping to see laporte and walker on team sheet but whatever.
Come on city

 

[malg]

can't see anything other than 3-0 (zinchenko, mahrez and sterling all netting)

Fuck me, I wish I had your confidence.....

 

[@BluePhil8]

I find the lack of faith in Zin (and by extension Dias) disturbing. We aren’t conceding today.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Oh Merseyside is full of ****

 

[Eccles Blue]

I am already in heaven, Dunney Monster and Nedum so positive about us on WNRH and that will do me. If they think we can do it then we can do it. Just seeing Dunney is great. My hero.

 

[oddfellows]

The dippers need to worry about us rather than the other way around

 

[sandiegoblue]

For those of you whining about about some of our players before they’ve kicked a ball, please knock it off. They may not be perfect, but they are part of the team and they all put in a shift. Pep knows best, so please just support the team.

 

[Lemon7277]

Least we know it's looking like Mendy is toast come the summer and if it goes tits up today we still remain top I can't see what the panic is about...we always come unstuck at there place
