What about Poulsen? Is he injured?
This is the first time in a long time where I don't fear Liverpool. I don't fear any team this year, even Chelsea. :)

This game will be won or lost in midfield, we will need to work our socks off to get a result against them.

This ^^^^, according to a Liverpool fan I work with, who claims to know someone ITK, is their team for tonight.
That's a strong side imo, don't know why some on here think it's going to be easy tonight.
Liverpool's supposed team for today was: reina-johnson,carra,skrtel,aurelio-kuyt-mascherano-poulsen-jovanovic-gerrard,torres.
BUT Mascherano is apparentely refusing to play because Liverpool rejected a 19million bid. Lucas is replacing him and Daniel Agger is coming in instead of Albert Aurelio. Agger has had a concussion the whole week but is now ready
David Ngog is starting upfront with Torres so liverpool are changing to a 4-4-2.

Can i just ask why people on here are thinking City will smash Liverpool 3 and 4 nils ?
We haven't lost 3 or 4 nil in about 10 years.
It's very daft in my opinion on being over confident, yes you have a good squad on paper but to say anyone will just roll Liverpool over is just unbelievable.
If we lose it will be by 1 (the same if we win), you have more depth, but our squad has been playing together for years and you know what you'll get with us where as City are a somewhat surprise element.

if that's gonna be their team, we can beat that imo, won't be easy but it will be hard to break us down with that.

First goal is vital here. If we get it they will just push Gerrard out off the five in midfield into a second striker and I dont think that will cause us too many problems.
If they get it it will be difficult for us to break them down.
I think they will be happy with a nil all

I think this is going to be a really close game and can see it being similar to the 0-0 from last year. We're playing a Hodgson team so no doubt they'll be two solid banks of four, very difficult to break down. I think it'll be 1-0, but I don't know who to, hopefully City!

You are of course correct - unlikely to be more than one goal either way.

Some people on here would have expected us to smash you 3 or 4 nil when you were at your peak and we were fighting against relegation. Its not so much over confidence, more pre match bravado.
I'm expecting a very tight game, at least for an hour, but it could be one of those games where one side gets a goal and the other then gets caught chasing the game.

i hope so to
he nas no excuse not to be now...he has the players to play the way he wants to play (though he is limited by the fact that he hasnt got available the attacking fullbacks he requires).....but he has the drive in the middle of midfield that should make the difference....
It will be VERY interesting to see if their is a change in his usual over cautious tactics against better teams.
If we go out and attack and give it a go you wont get any complaints from me regardless of the result, but another negative display (to go along with the spurs performance and various otyhers last season) and he will be leaving himself open to criticism

A win, lose or draw result wouldn't be a shock at all, we are just too much of an unknown quantity at the moment. So are they to a lesser extent, new manager syndrome and all that.
On paper we have a stronger squad, so should win. I'm gonna say City win 2-0.

Mate. What on Earth do you expect when coming on a City forum? Of course there will be a few over-optimistic people on here... But I'm not one of them.
I'm expecting a draw. Might even go for the 0-0 at 8's...
Bwahahahahahaha
flb said:Midfield diamond for me
silva the point,milner left,Yaya right and the crazy Dutchman infront of the back four
Obviously Tevez and Balo up top
who are the fullbacks though?
Lescott is LB for sure I think and Micah or Zab for RB probably.

if I was the manager I would be , frankly , a lot more interested in take at least 1 point that at your complaint
