Pressure is all on them,i think we can stay calm and deal with their headless chicken routine,hope it's vinny and nico at the back,john has too many mistakes in him at the moment,keep our heads even if we go behind and concentrate and we should get 1 or 2 away goals

I hope Pep starts Sterling and he tears a new hole on those scums with his two goals.

I hope he scores and slides on his knees in front of the Kop!

Despite his poor performances at Anfield in the past there’s no way I’d be leaving Sterling out tonight.

Hopefully Pep will put his arm around him and give him the confidence and opportunity to shut the scousers up.

The thought of him scoring or even better getting the winner surely outweighs the possibility of him having a quiet game.

Also, any over-the-top challenges to get the crowd on side you’d hope would result in cards being shown.

Sterling has already shown mental toughness throughout the season and this will only go towards his character building, which will stand him in good stead for the rest of his City career

You make a very good point it is very much a double edged sword. The general expectation is that Sterling will as on previous visits go into his shell and quiver every time he gets the ball and be ineffective. However, maybe tonight things will be different and he could turn on a five star display and silence the dippers. The manager is the man who is tasked with the responsibility of deciding which is the more likely outcome and we don't have much longer to wait to find out his decision. Either way I believe he knows best.

Hope all the lucky Blues that got a ticket have a fantastic time. Be careful, don’t get isolated.
There’s no reason why we shouldn’t win this, we have a very competent team to counter the delusional dippers in all areas.
Take our chances and we WILL come back home with a win!!!
Butterflies is an understatement.

For me Sterling is the dilemma tonight, all week I have been wanting Bernardo to start but I am drawn by the width and pace offered by Sane and Sterling on the wings.

 

[Pam]

Jesus, we really are their cup final when we play them. Rags you have been demoted. It will be like taking candy off a baby when we score tonight.

Yeah, why do they all start acting like the cast of Wicker Man around us? They're just another team to most City fans. It's a very one-sided rivalry.

 

[Pam]

Guaranteed the BBC will turn up the effect's mic's for their sh*tty anthem tonight.

If you want the BBC to yank up the volume, sing something nice about the Tories. Probably the same with BT.

Get a load of this sentimental slop....

Liverpool: Anfield Is All Set To Bring Another Set Of Superstars To Their Knees

I've never read anything like it.

It’s quite breathtaking in its level of bullshit. Truly awful.
