The media and pundits are so ignorant. It’s like the ‘City always give you a chance’ nonsense. Actually we give away very few chances. De Gea looks so good because he has so many saves to pull off. Actually we’ve kept something like 5 clean sheets in 6 and I can see Ederson getting the golden gloves.The bollocks about our defence is ridiculous because we've conceded the fewest goals in our division.
Equally, the media's hype about Liverpool's attack is bollocks because we've scored about 20 more goals than them.
After the league match at Anfield, Pep will have seen enough not to concede 4 there this time, and we pretty much always score. Over two legs we'll have too much for them.
I can't stand this idea that Liverpool fans keep saying we're the "2 best teams in the country" like we're on a similar level and should be grouped together. We've won a trophy this season and are 18 points ahead of them.
Tbf I think they are the 2nd best team after us but there is obviously a massive gap and not on same level.I can't stand this idea that Liverpool fans keep saying we're the "2 best teams in the country" like we're on a similar level and should be grouped together.

Exactly this....liverpool only won the league game down to some glaring errors made by us. They had to score four goals to have any chance of beating us and then nearly blew it because they reverted to type and go into absolute panick mode and that goes for they so called support as well. A game if you take away those 2 stupid mistakes we would have won 3-2
They will come out the blocks at 100mph looking to get an early goal in the first leg. It will be 2 great games but like you say, over these 2 legs our team will be right up for this and we will show our class
That’s true but they pressured us into those mistakes which most other teams haven’t managed to. Pep will know that and adjust.
United showed how to beat Liverpool.....you have to have a keeper that can accurately blast the ball up the pitch right down the middle. I think we might know someone.
Never a truer word said. Do you think the City players give a toss that Liverpool won European trophies before they were born? I don't recall everyone going on about Huddersfield saying we took 125 years for four top flight trophies and Huddersfield won 3 on the trot once so we should shit it against them.The lack of perspective I’ve seen in the media for this tie is frightening. This is a side that is 4th in their domestic league should Spurs win their game in hand. 18 Points begins the league leaders having played a game more, and no league title to their name since 1990. Valencia are 13 points behind Barca and yet they’d be a dream tie - why is this different? Liverpool are a big club absolutely, tons of honours in years gone by, but fortunately for us that counts for absolutely Zero in these two matches.
This Liverpool side aren’t one of the best in Europe unless you consider City, United and Spurs all to be even better. They aren’t a scary tie for any of the relevant European giants of today; Barca, Madrid and Bayern, and they certainly aren’t a team to be scared of on the pitch. They’re capable of winning the tie because they’re a good side, but they’re not nearly as good as they’ve become overnight since the draw. They’ll make some noise at Anfield too, but make no mistakes as to why, because that’s what they have to do to stay relevant in Europe, otherwise they’re just another average team with an outside shot of winning should they get a bit of luck along the way.
We are a far better side than this bunch, the league table tells us that without question, so we should be pleased we avoided Barca, Madrid, and Bayern, the 3 genuinely difficult ties in the competition, and hope we turn up to play like we can. If we do, we win, if we don’t, we only have ourselves to blame.
