City Vs Liverpool CC Pre Match Discussion Thread

[Chippy_boy]

We absolutely have to retain possession and retain control of the game. Slow build up is fine and patience is key. We keep the ball, work them around and by the end of 93 minutes we will have won by a couple and have a clean sheet. Basically a repeat of the 2nd half of the rags game please.

On the other hand, a fast open game with both sides breaking on the counter attack will expose our back 4 and who knows what the score might be - we could lose it easily. And worse, if they might have an away goal or 2.

Time to show some Barcelona-like quality and to control the game. We have the players, we have the system well drilled and we have the skill. Now time to deliver.

think if we play as well as the second half of the ManUre game we'll score 6 today.

Liverpool have a better defense than United, so I think we will do well to score a couple. We cannot expect Reina to gift us goal (or two?) like last time - he's normally superb.

Pantalimon, Kolarov, Onuoha, Hargreaves, Suarez, Silva, Dzeko

We only need to start with 10 players, saves the hassle for the ref and saves us suspensions and appeals. :)
