Has anyone discussed how there is zero reasons for Sterling to take his boots to Anfield today ?

No, most fans want to support the team with making snide comments.

It has been before. Our lot looking like startled bunny rabbit's in the headlights.

Overseas players tend to believe the hype and are intimidated, particularly on their first visit. If they lose there, the myth stays with them.
Many of them will have been Liverpool fans as kids, brought up on tales of how the Kop win games for them. Used to be the same with the swamp until the GPC left.
It's all about the 'istry innit?

I am looking forward to see this lineup today.
Edi
Walker-Dias-Laporte/stones-Cancelo
Rodri
KDB - Berna
Gabi - Torres/Foden - Grealish

I expect a strong attack from us. Hopefully we will be able to score goals.

I can honestly see no outcome other than a convincing City win

They're gonna throw the kitchen sink at us for 20 minutes or so, is it better to sit back soak it up, or, try to push them back with a high press. Like we're good at.
I never really know.

Hopefully Pep knows.

I would like to see us pack midfield for the first half and hit them on the break. A slow-paced match would suit us down to the ground. Liverpool struggle to break down teams who play like this. Our players are brilliant at keeping the ball.
Virtually every goal we concede is a counter attack down our left side. I am sick of watching them fly in. If we don't give them space they can't score (apart from a set piece). I would be happy with a 0-0 for this one.

God, I miss Sergio.

Merlin too. Remember him being sensational even though we lost 3-2 there one year.

When you say you’re sick of watching them fly in, you do realise we’ve only conceded one in the league this season ?

3 points would be the best birthday gift ever!

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Difficult game, Dippers will attack hard and fast. 2-1 loss.

Waiting to see Pep team selection before i put on my Footy bet.

Sterling starts then Liverpool win.

Sterling doesn't start i think we will.
