Liverpool (H) - Sun 9th Nov, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Mixed bag of emotions for this, Heart feels like we will win, Head says the opposite.

In terms of the title we are in November and nothing is set in stone yet, But it's a good test to see if we are back and looking to get in the race.

Plus it'd be nice to close the gap after Arsenal's draw

Not quite sure we have the team to overturn a big points gap if there is one when it comes to February time like we have done in the past but if we can keep it within 3 or 4, then you never know

 

[paulchapo]

Confirmed starting XI for today: Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Nico, Bernardo, Foden, Cherki, Doku, Haaland

Our best lineup at the moment.

I wonder if pep will sacrifice Cherki for a more solid option, who I don’t know but hopefully he starts.

I guess he will. Gonzalez, Bernardo, Reijnders our midfield three

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Oh god, everyone likes the team…

Someone quick find something.

I'm not looking forward to Gvardiol's passing?

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Always worry me these games and the derby, the rags might outdo us on the day but are generally shite. The worry is the dippers might look better than us.
OK I know there is the tarquins, but even if they were allowed fifteen players and arsene wenger on VAR they would still only pick up a point from their last six games

 

[Fordyboy46]

No complaints about that team, come on City!

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

I guess he will. Gonzalez, Bernardo, Reijnders our midfield three

Hate this. No Rodri. What a terrible decision to play him 3 games in a row and set him back.


Rodri for Capito and this is a walk in the park.

I know Bernie hates the dippers but is that a reason to start him?

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

You mean other than the fact that guardiola went against usual protocol and chose him as captain this season?

 

[heslops barnet]

As expected it half and half central everywhere, cunts. How do they get the tickets???

If they’re scousers probably robbed them

 

[Dax777]

I know Bernie hates the dippers but is that a reason to start him?

Its him or Tijjani. Against a rival in a pressure situation, you take Bernie. He has been through the fire. And he'll run himself into the ground for the club.

Tijjani is new yo this rivalry.

[heslops barnet]

For all those blues in lower south stand stay safe with those cunts above you

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

I see what you did there

 

[super_city_si]

Confirmed starting XI for today: Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Nico, Bernardo, Foden, Cherki, Doku, Haaland

Thats the team pretty much everyone has asked for. Now go and do it.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

We should not be losing to a team that has a keeper with 'mard as' in his name

 

[Gorbachev]

Liverpool home or away has always been a tough game for us, home and away.

In Premier League history we have only beaten them 12 times home or away.

Considering we have been half decent for 15 years now, that stat is disgraceful and needs changing.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Strong team and strong bench for both. Dippers only missing Alisson and Frimpong, we're without rodri, kovacic and khusanov. No excuses for either side. Lets get the job done.

 

[King Jay]

My only worry is who plays on the right side. I feel like Liverpool is too fast for Cherki. At least in terms of going up and down the field
