Liverpool (a) - CL Quarter Final pre-match thread

[GallaghersToe]

KDB is gonna show them he was the Gerrard they never replaced.

Mcamananananan not really hiding his bias whilst clapping the Liverpool team out on to the pitch.

Christ.

I look forward to 15 years time when half the panel played against qpr in 2012.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

And there's the co-commentator clapping Liverpool on to the pitch.

FFS.

skanky headed fuck

Dont know if anyone has an idea of Pep’s tactical plan, but I think I’ve worked out what he is going to do.

Defend in a 4-1-4-1 shape, which we all know is his preffered defensive shape, and attack with a narrow 3-4-3;

Defence;

________________Ederson________________

Walker____Otamendi___Kompany____Laporte

_______________Fernandinho______________

De Bruyne___Gundogan_____Silva_______Sane

_________________Jesus__________________

Attack;

________________Ederson_________________

__Otamendi______Kompany_______Laporte__

_________Gundogan____Fernandinho________

_________De Bruyne______Silva____________

Walker____________Jesus_____________Sane

We will want to dominate the middle and create another central option to pass too hence cramming in an extra midfielder, whether I’m right or wrong it’s going to be fascinating

BT have just said it got out of hand outside the ground and Liverpool have apologised. Anyone know what happened?

Fuck me you mean they've actually apologised for once and not blamed some fucker else.

Think I need a lie down.

 

[Bozo]

Same old scousers. Come on Blues!

I expect them to put a lot of long balls over the top for Firmino, Mane, Salah to run for it vs our not so quick defenders. Really hope we are ging to read those high balls perfectly and not running under them or defenders not running into Ederson with the ball ending up for Salah for an open net chance.

They are gonna press like hell, I want us to play 433 with Silva being in central attack position ith Jesus from right, Sane from left. Silva kinda being false 9, coming bit deeper in the middle making it sometimes 4 players trough the middle, this would make Milner or Henderrsond ropping deeper for them giving bit more space fro Gundogan, fernandinho, KDB to find a bit of space. Then its up to some intelligent runs from Jesus, Sane and also to pick them out by Silva, Gundogan or KDB.

Dont want much action from Walker and Laporte on the wings, they have to stay back and keep an eye on their quick attackers.

The tie will be decided in the Etihad game not tonight I want a result that gives us a good chance to go trough any small win or a goal draw is what I hope for. Given our horrible Anfield run its hard to imagine a win tonight I go for a 2-2 draw that sets us up nicely for next week.

If we lose by two goals or more that is horrible, would make it extremely hard for next week

The carachter of our team will be shown tonight. Only the whole world is watching time to step up in CL too. Joining in the semis to the strong Barca, Real, Bayern trio is a step we need to make this year.

BT sport are a bunch of cnuts. Obviously the 5-0 destruction of candlepool has been erased from history.
If UEFA don’t fine or impose something on them, then it just goes to show they don’t give a fcuk about player safety.
The police would have had their tasers out if we had done that.

John Madden once said: "The worst thing your team can come out to is to complete silence. It's like there's no one there. We led the League in boos. We took it as a means of acceptance and revelled in it".

Come on City - we know they hate us. Let's use it to bury them.
