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

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Zinchenko will never make it at City whilst he has a hole in his are and is never a left back anyway. Problem is Delph is unlikely to manage 3 games in a week so Danilo will have to play his part.

Mendy is ready.

Sure he'll get minutes against Everton and United.

 

[Detroit City 21]

Very tough draw but Liverpool play Everton away between the two ties, so whilst we'll have an intense derby to contend with in between legs so will they.

Liverpool Everton game is important to them. Pool will most likely get beat by Chelsea and will be fighting for a top 4 spot.

I may be in the minority that this is probably the best draw for City. Liverpool are a familiar adversary, City play them away first, and there's no pressure in the league anymore.

City only need to score an away goal(s) and the pressure is on Liverpool.

I would have preferred to have got Barca or Bayern to be honest. Bad draw , agree with the poster who mentioned about keeping sterling away from the anfield game.

Bernardo should be a guranteed starter for that first leg. Him Jesus and Sane for me. Press the fuck out of that Liverpool back line.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Could have been better for sure. We gotta be a bit conservative for that away trip i reckon and go all out in the return leg

 

[Delphinho]

No he won't. Mendy is ready.

He'll get minutes against Everton and United.

Playing him against the rags is very risky. There will be at least one c**t that tries to injure him again

If we get the first goal the tie is over.

 

[Detroit City 21]

We’ll do the scousers over 2 legs, depending on the refs. We can’t afford to play with 10 men so no Sterling plus Fernandinho and Aguero need to up their games at Anfield because they were awful last time around. But let’s not forget, Silva and Kompany were out last time we went there so we’ll be going there like a different team.

City can easily score 3 to 4 at Anfield!

This draw reeks to me. The only 2 English teams drawn together. The big guns are all kept apart. They get rid of 1 of us this round & then Barca, Real & Bayern are waiting to finish off the winners. Always thought that the powers that be would do everything they could to ensure a Clasico final.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

I know we mock, but we do have to be careful.

Chelsea were in a similar position to us a few years back and Anfield crowd robbed a Garcia goal.

Even Dortmund couple of years back thought they had it won.

Agree...but over 2 legs we should get through this one. This is what it is all about, can’t wait : )

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Hopefully both clubs will price the games so there will be high demand.

i hope so. the psg game was ridiculously priced.

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

That was an absolutely horrendous draw. Even if we get past Liverpool, the semis are going to be very strong. Bollocks.

It's the latter stages of the champions league, usually Madrid, Barca and Bayern are hanging around at this stage. To win it means beating teams like that. But see your point could have done with one of the ultra elite teams being knocked out in the quarters, seems they all may get through.

 

[robbieh]

The only thing that worries me slightly is the match up.
Bayern under Pep much like us dominated possession in all 3 CL semis he played. Got hit on the break again and again. The one against Barca at home he got horribly wrong using just 3 defenders to deal with their 3 superstars.
Liverpool will be looking for a chaotic game as they can't hope to control the midfield area.
We will concede over 2 legs but Liverpool are poor defensively and if we are reasonably clinical we should put them away.

He'll get last 15 when we are 8-0 up!

Its very convenient, the only thing wrong was Barca at home first leg, that said, I think Roma can do them, and Juve will want to beat Real this time, so who knows ?

 

[Detroit City 21]

i was hoping for anyone but Liverpool but then I realise that anyone includes Barcelona Real and Bayern. Youre right this could have been worse.

The only easier draw would have been Sevilla.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Who did Utd get?

 

[Detroit City 21]

Are you kidding.

LOL, second best draw possible!

 

[Armaan]

We do. If we play a bit more defensive in the first leg and go for a defend first approach i think thats the best way to go.

If that be the case i'm in the minority with you, feel good about this draw. Come on City. Sky have done nothing but go on about the 4-3 at Anfield it would seem the 5-0 stuffing we gave them earlier in the season has been hair brushed out completely.
