Liverpool (A) - Sun 1st Dec, 16:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Talkshite already saying dips for the double, prem and champions league ….
Remember they were down for the quad last season and look what happened !

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Absolutely, if they damage our coach we would have grounds for intimidation (outright terror) before kick off. For Liverpool's sake it would be a completely brainless action when their football should show where they are at right now. Let's hope sane minds prevail.

These are dippers we are talking about.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Glass half empty thinking is that we will lose two or three nil.....

Glass half full thinking is if we keep it tight and somehow we are still level with 15 or 20 minutes to go, do the Dippers go into "do not lose" mode ? A point for them isn't a bad result and keeps us 8 points behind them. And I'd happily take a point right now [emoji1696]

With the whole sports media cheering us on, willing us to cut their massive lead and make the PL competitive and interesting again

Couldn't pay me to listen to Carragher & Neville shrieking over this game.

At least Amazon give you the choice to turn the commentary off.
Sly would never give us this option because slagging us off is more important than the actual match

but only when we are 3.0 up on 75 minutes

Yep but you know what happens with 3 nil lead

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

A bit of a free hit for us on present form, come on you blues!

A bit of a free hit for us on present form, come on you blues!

To be honest, its a free hit anyway. We never win there so anything other than a loss is a bonus.

I like it when the whole world forces are up against good old city. When the backs are cornered up against the wall , the wounded fight for the survival instinct will kick in without any notice.
Come on city

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I'd like us to try something different. I'd like us to park the bus, maybe 4-5-1,. Try and hit them on the break.

I wonder what chance there is of pep doing something much different tactically. I don’t see it but wish he would

lol what different tactics has to do with not having fully fit 11 players?
All we need is functional 11 players fit and running and the tactical nuances will take care of themselves

 

[yankblue]

We're more than likely going to get bent over a barrel but I'm choosing to be delusional and think we'll twat them. C'mon City

...at the very least it would be nice to see some fight and desire

the stand in players for those injured have no confidence and no swagger, i hope we have some fit bodies back , even though they will be rusty

Get there , stay calm and get outta there, put it behind us and push on

 

[St.Pauli support]

Hope our Blue lads fully ignore their cultist fans, completely! Stay calm, focussed and ready.
No matter what happens. We'll be behind our lads,
no matter if we're there or not.

Strange that football's suddenly not boring now.

We don’t though

 

[Blu1]

Regardless of result pep & boys deserve full support. Amazing few years but we all know it’s time to invest & go again next season

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

What is a nice change is all the expectancy and hype being put on the scouse. That, in the long run, could be of assistance to us - hopefully starting Sunday.

Nobody expects us to get anything, and for them to spank us. An early City goal and that pressure is in full flow.

 

[the blue panther]

Strange that football's suddenly not boring now.

Yes - so weird as well that it's no longer a bad thing when one team is so far out at the front!

 

[bitterblue78]

Any chance TYPICAL CITY will return on sunday

It’s in the stars, blue. Nothing would surprise me more. First 15 mins are crucial. Our lads will be hurting and will want to get on track. It sounds absurd, but maybe this is the best fixture we could have to end this blip.
