Genuine Liverpool Echo headline today Erling Haaland and Phil Foden miss Man City training to give Liverpool major title boost Parody.

It is this. It's been a while since a high profile player has done it but it used to happen even more often to City. Whenever a player wants a fat contract, they leak a story about how "moneybags" City will buy them as a negotiating tactic. Messi was culprit number 1. Over the last few years it...

OrWell done

Needs support and a bit of love not everyone piling into him. He's having a run of poor form but he will figure it out, he's a smart guy and it's a unique challenge. Every team we play plays deep and compact now, even the top ones, because they see that if you do anything else he will kill you...

I can see Kovacic starting this game alongside Rodri. In the away leg of a knockout tie, the main aim is to not lose.

We haven't beaten a team in the top 5, and we've drawn and lost to them this season. Two of our starting defenders are out injured. They have the best defence in the league. Maybe you should stop talking shite. Mods - nice to see my original response deleted cos I bit back but this response is...

I disagree. We've played then twice, drawn 1-1 and lost 1-0. They have the best defence in the league. I think it'll be a tight game but I'll be very happy if you're right.

Fair points, I tend to be pessimistic due to growing up the 90s so it's probably more balanced than I made out. I do have to say though that I think Rice has played very well in the two games we've played against them this year. The ground he can cover and strength in challenges makes the...

Sunday compared to last year they will have Raya vs Ramsey Rice vs Jorginho Saliba vs Holding Havertz vs Jesus They have improved massively. City have unfortunately got weaker as we're integrating new young players in Nunes and Doku compared to having Gundogan and Mahrez available last year...

I think he's going to go to Bayern when Alonso goes there.

I think he means they should identify if someone is frit of getting crunched.

No complaints but yesterday was a wake up call that we are not quite what we were last season. We're competitive but not unstoppable; Liverpool were there for the taking. Tactically Pep gambled on KDB/Haaland combination on the break, which makes sense as they're our two best attacking players...

This. I don't understand why people are so quick to write off Grealish. He was world class in the run in last season, we need him.

We have the best manager in the game, arguably in the history of the sport, has attracted the world's best striker and we won the treble. People still complaining about Pep. Bluemoon man, you remind me why I rarely visit anymore.

come on now. 1/10th.

It's actually a joke that Ronaldo and Messi are being mentioned in these conversations at this point. They're playing in semi retirement leagues.

Madness that there's even anyone debating about this. He's a world class player approaching his peak, he's captained Germany, and we could sign him for €20m. That's an extremely rare opportunity. Pep will be salivating at the thought of working with him again.

Yes. Grealish is underrated, bizarrely given what he did last season.

Phillips came here for that and has five medals in 18 months. More of a contribution perhaps from other examples. Ortega and Caballero played in finals at Wembley. Zinchenko played a CL final despite being the second choice left back. Akanji isn't in our strongest XI for me and yet he displaced...

One banana, two banana, three banana, four! Never felt more like singing the blues, City win, United lose, Oh City, You've got me singing the blues!
