Liverpool (a) Pre-Match Thread

[aguero93:20]

3:1 to Liverpool, can't see anything other than a defeat.

Hate happy clappers like this ^^^^

I think we need a top class performance from Kun (assuming he plays and we can give him some service)

 

[Peggy's a blue]

Will repeat my earlier post, this is the same dippers who lost to football giants burnley and Bournmouth, scraped a draw v hammers, and, would have lost to stoke if Allen had kept his nerve.

Reading posts on here, you would think we were playing Barca/Madrid all time greats combined, and what is this high press nonsense, it's just forwards putting pressure on the ball, they soon tire against right tactics. Oh and Milner at left back ffs Sterling rip him a new one.

City to win 2-1 with KDB mom :-)

Playing Liverpool without Coutinho and Matip is huge for us.

We'll have Sergio back, and player for player we're vastly superior. We really should be looking at three points.

He's very much a resident WUM,please don't credit him with any other title.

We will have had 5 days to recover from Hull, they only get 4 days.

Fernandinho and Aguero are fresh after a pre season break.

The pressure is on them, they are expected to win.

After much food and drink over Christmas their fans will be more subdued than usual.

No Coutinho wonder goal.

Sterling is on form.

1:3 City

 

[The Riot Club]

City to win an absolute goalfest.

Depends on the system pep goes with....

I have a sneaky feeling he may try the 3 at the back formation again, tucking in the wing backs. A great deal of Liverpool play is based on attacking at pace, this needs to be broken up to break any rhythm, something the dippers feed off...

Keep it tight early and I think we'll grow in to the game and snatch it... If we can win at anfield the belief will flow through the whole club that we can win the league, we need this!!!

 

[B.L.U.E.M.O.O.N]

Why all the negativity??

I would rather play Liverpool than Barcelona, and don't say we got pumped 4-1, that game turned on the sending off......

I hate the dippers with a passion and get sick of their bloody awful fans, pundits etc, etc.

I really think we are going to win this; we have learnt from the Spuds and Leicester games.

 

[Azulete]

Even with Lv'pool absences..it's going to be a tough game: 1-2 City.

 

[bluemonkey71]

Who is the ref?

 

[aguero93:20]

Who is the ref?

Henderson.

 

[super_city_si]

No coutinho! Now if only mane and firmino pull out ;)

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

we repeatedly stuff the Rags in their midden , so why our players fall to pieces at Klanfield every season is beyond me. Tactically if we sit back and try to hit them on the break we will not get anything , our defence just isnt good enough for that type of game , we should play our normal game own the ball and let the best front six in Premiership tear them to pieces. Klopp has already stated he has'nt even watched us such is the arrogance of a football club that hasnt won anything of any substance for decades , and remember Clynes famous words "can we play you every week" pin it on the dressing room door and ram it down their throats.

 

[NewHavenCTBlue]

Liverpool fans are just obnoxious more than usual this week....that's saying a lot.

The most important thing is to quiet the crowd, and stop our horrendous run of conceding goals early. I can't see us going with a back three, purely because I doubt if Stones will be 100%.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Why all the negativity??

I'd love to win, but history is NOT on our side. How often do we draw at Annfield, let alone win?
the complete record is: 49 Defeats, 22 Draws, 13 Wins - and most of the wins are pre 1960.

 

[Adlab123]

Lets just stuff it up them and provide Herr Klopp with some sauerkraut

Fabian Delph and Sergio Aguero both took part in full training this morning at the CFA. John Stones was not involved. [@ManCity]

Just collecting the brown envelope as we speak

Cheat.
