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

[Easy]

I looked at the BBC City and Liverpool best 11 - make your choice. In all honesty, only Salah would get in from Liverpool. But then again, Sergio's in and how could you drop Jesus for Salah ? You would have Kompany at CB and quality player that VvD is, you could not possibly drop Ota for him.

Yea, only Salah gets in at RW over Sterling/Bernardo. The only other possibility is VVD but yea he doesn’t get in over Kompany and Otamendi.

Many of their frequent starters aren’t even good enough for our bench.

I worry about the referee in this game they usually blow up for everything.

That’s to our advantage, as we are not known for tasty challenges. However, with the quality of their diving, it might be an issue. Hopefully, the ref has a quick look at recent games of each team and won’t “fall” for it!

That could be a good thing early doors the dippers will come out all guns blazing,we just need to manage the first 20mins or so the Spanish,German,Italian teams all have the experience that we lack at breaking up the play to take the sting out of the opposition,ref blowing up for the slightest nudge or small foul,saying that it also doesn’t suit us to have a stop start game bar the first 20 mins possibly..

Works in our favour for me this....their so called massive atmosphere will have them gee’d up to the hilt and will make them press like lunatics, if we play it shrewdly enough like barca/madrid and bayern would it will mean that they will have second thoughts of getting so tight against us

A little ditty for both legs to be sung to Yesterday by that band the city have lived off for 60 odd years.

Suddenly, you're not half the team you used to be
All you talk about is history
You'll win fuck all
You'll win fuck all

BRILLIANT

We don’t tend to dive with any touch Liverpool be falling over if we blow on em.
