CL Quarter Final Draw - Liverpool A Apr 4th - H Apr 10th

[Detroit City 21]

Just read all the posts since the draw.

Some really are flapping. It’s tough but this is the CL it could of been much worse had we drawn Barca, Real or Bayern, Juve even.

Liverpool also have a tough run of games and a weak bench with no game changers on it, meaning their attack will be much more fatigued. We were an Aguero touch away from 4-4 at Anfield without Kompany and Silva and facing a well rested Liverpool.

I am confident we can get through. I would start Sane-Jesus-Bernardo at Anfield then Sane-Kun-Sterling against the rags.

Another advantage is they are in a close battle for top 4 meaning they won’t be able to rotate. Mane-Firmino-Salah will have to start Palace away, us at Anfield, Everton away then us at the Etihad. While our front 3 will most definitely rotate during this run of games. We also having the advantage of rotating in Gundogan for Kev or Dave. Hopefully Delph will be fit as well.

Excellent points!

Reminding me of the scene off the damned united film where Clough f**ked Derby by refusing to rest players against their rivals leeds and Juve KO'd their youth team out of the european cup after Leeds kicked them apart

That is the nightmare scenario , A&E , Matic putting the boot in at the derby game they might even bring back the Big Nose Swede to do some lasting damage

This all day!! And we’re lucky we have a manager CLUB OWNERSHIP that will think the same way

Fixed it for ya! ;^)

Pep isn’t stupid, and I’m sure their current location in the world will elicit some serious conversations amongst the leadership of the club.

Last 30 games V Liverpool (Away)
Won : 1
Drawn: 9
Lost 20
Scored: 31
Conceded: 68

That, on average, is a 2-1 loss. That’s not a bad result to take back to the Eithad

As it turns out, I think we’ll leather them in the first leg a la Basle

Surely their game will move. If it was us we would be quite rightly fuming having to play Sunday then Tuesday.

Their game is now 12.30 on Saturday and the scousers are moaning that we have more recovery time for our derby because we play at 5.30 than they do totally ignoring the fact that they have more recovery time for the second leg...

People need to remember at Anfield we were well in the game at 1-1 and Otamendi hit the bar before we had a 15 minute meltdown. I'm sure Pep will not let that happen again. And for the last 15 minutes they were shattered and we nearly snatched a draw. I'm confident over 2 legs

People flap, have a gut feeling, worry about, every match we play. Unlike you and I who realise our magnificent team will win this one with style.

The outcome of Spurs v Swansea may have a big bearing on things as well.

If Swansea win we may have another free weekend the week after Spurs. Don’t forget we are free this weekend too.

Liverpool always play like its their cup final when they play us

Totally agree BH , if the Dippers have one of their many defensive off nights and we have one of more usual excellent attacking games , the tie could be over by half time at Klanfield.
