Liverpool (A) - Sun 3 Oct 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Craig]

It’s also nonsense, we created numerous chances that we didn’t take.

I don’t think we created much really for all our possession. The Sterling header and Dias one off a corner. It’s nonsense to say we had no pace though in that game when as bad has he’s been Sterling was upfront.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

At least it can't ruin much of the weekend

im in the air going on holiday as the match starts so hopefully my stress levels are good.last time i was in the air for a city game was the mahrez missed pen 0 0 id be happy to land and find a draw tbh

 

[york away to this!]

Looks like Ronaldo nailed on to score an injury time winner for them...

 

[blue cigar]

I’d prefer to see Grealish played there and get Foden running at their fullback rather than wasted up there. Grealish is bigger and stronger and should be better with his back to goal than Phil. Just feel like Foden is completely wasted there and is still the best wide left attacker we have. If not then play him as a number 8.

Maybe, he will roam across the front line and cause havoc, he's destroyed Robertson twice and they feat him.

56% going for the win,love the optimism.

I am saying a draw.

They are a bit shit at the back as we saw against Brentford. They do have goals in them though,but so do we.

Think there will be a few goals in this.

3-3

We might even nick it 2-3,if our defenders are at the top of their game.

If our defenders are on top of their game the dippers won't score 2.

 

[Blue Eyed Dick]

A question. The Dippers love to play towards the Kop second half and always choose this if they win the coin toss. However, they seem to attack the Kop in the 2nd half of what seems like 99% of games. Anyone else notice this? A few years back Vinny won the toss and chose to attack the Kop in the first half, gifting them their preference!!

Unless we meet Bayern at some stage, Liverpool away is the hardest game of the season. We are currently predicted to finish 5 points clear of them. Both teams playing very well. If we can win this one before the break the message it would send would be huge. I’d take a draw now though! They have always been our bogey team.

Come on City

Thought our bogey team was bleeding Wigan in cup competition??
Get in there City.

Mahrez playing the entire 90 minutes on Tuesday despite being absolutely shite pretty much guaranteed he won't be playing on Saturday.

It'll be Jesus on the RW.

You might be the only person out there who wants Sterling anywhere near the team.

I don't reckon any of this lot will play 90 minutes on Saturday ;-)

No de Bruyne and Sterling over Grealish at Anfield?

I'm glad you're not picking the team on Sunday.

It’s on Sunday ko 4.30pm lads, don’t miss it :)

When you were in the air, you didnt happen to spot what direction the ball went after the Mahrez penalty attempt.
David Attenborough claims to have spotted it in the wilds of Borneo

Bookmakers and 538 have us as favourites.

Think 538 is more likely to get things right than most fans and pundits. One reason is that well-prepared statistical models are far less susceptible to the recency bias. Several bad/good results and many fans and pundits are ready to project long-term tendencies of decline or success.

A case in point is the start of last season. Many wrote City off. Not 538 though! 538 had us as clear favourites even when we were midtable in November!

We may lose at Anfield on Sunday, but we are good enough to win the league again. Shit happens, and we may fail this season, but I think that once KDB, Foden and Grealish get going, we will be hard to stop. Fingers crossed we avoid serious injuries to key players like them.
