Liverpool (H) - Sun 23rd Feb, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Never seen so many half and half scarves at a PL game, lots of groups as well. More like a CL crowd.

East Stand concourse overrun with people wearing half and half scarves. WTF ?

That's what happens when you price the local fan out.

 

[swindinho]

The amount of half and half scarfs is fuckin triggering me.

Almost as bad as the Madrid game.

 

[mosssideblue]

worst lineup for a big game for 10 years

Who would you pick?

It needs to stop.

 

[city saint]

Even when we were shit I always went hoping for a win. Todays no different

Probably Liverpool fans mate

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Bad news. I’ve only got enough tonic for one G&T so will have to switch to rum and Pepsi

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

My mate says it's the worse he's ever seen, fans with fuck all love for City. It's very sad to see

And we wonder why fans of other clubs take the piss.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

That 11 almost looks like a 2nd string for an FA Cup tie against a championship team. What defence, what midfield? We’re going to have to have some fucking good tactics to get anything out of this one.

Agreed.

 

[Col12]

Almost as bad as the Madrid game.

I've never seen so many for a PL game

 

[SkyBlueSW19]

I did wonder whether Pep might go false 9 for this one. He's taken an entirely different route and gone all 9. Love this team. C'mon City.

 

[akrh215]

With this line-up, there are two options, either we win the game very easily or we get a 4.

 

[Dax777]

You're swapping the workhorses of bernardo/grealish/Alvarez/foden in that team for players that either can't, won't or haven't yet learned to run. It's not close to the same.

Savio has shown an ability to hustle and so has Marmoush. In essence, we are saying Doku is poor at it and Kev is not as intense as he used to be. Id liking that to Mahrez, Sane and Aguero in their time. They weren't the greatest hustlers on the press either.

Im not saying this would be great. Just pointing out its similar to what we've seen before.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Probably Liverpool fans mate

I’m sure you’re right

 

[Gabriel]

People concerned about the starting selection, yet if the transfer forum has its summer purge, then that eleven, minus perhaps de Bruyne, could well be the bones of the squad come August.

 

[paulchapo]

The good news is Forest scored three goals so before today's result Newcastle's goal difference seven behind ours.

 

[borassic]

rico hat trick coming

 

[havefaith]

I can’t decide whether we’ll win 3-1 or lose 0-6.

Not a clue, unusual times after years of domination, brings, kind of exciting in a way, Unless we fail to show up again.
Hope for the best, fear the worst :-)

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Dippers all over the ground - making absolutely no effort to conceal it. Our ticket office is complicit in this.

 

[Dax777]

It's more players playing those positions

Prime Kyle Walker allowed that highline almost singlehandedly. Now we have Lewis who not even half as quick or strong stepping out of position into midfield. Right side wide open vs counters

Ake >>> Gvardiol defensively. Also sat back more making that side a lot better vs counters. Now left side wide open vs counters

Rodri one of the best ever at pinning a team in their own half.

Younger Gundo/Bernie >> Foden who get knocked over when a player brushes his shirt.
Kev is on the edge of the precipice in terms of being completely finished. One step away.

Yea, i agree the players are not the same.
