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

[asaluttar]

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

I would agree all that talk of him being nervous at klanfield, but there are good reasons to play Bernardo Silva.
He is rested, and tends to tuck in.

So we can try Walker to provide width and push back Robertson, leave Sane to attack their weak LB,
And effectively outnumber their midfield 4 to 3 (who are also likely to be more tired than us in contrast to the last game), choke off supply to their strikers while leaving the back 3 to deal with any loose balls.

Ah yes, all those 'visitors' who docked in port at Liverpool...

Before setting sail for the sunny castaways of the West Indies.

They do love to spin a romanticised version of history don't dey?

I want them humiliated.

Shurely you mean Istry?

I had to stop reading, the cringe was too much to bear.

Oh my God, this.

It's bizarre really that we should be so worried about playing this lot.

At home they've played 16 games, and won 10, scoring 38 goals and conceding 10.

At home we've played 15 games, and won 14, scoring 51 goals and conceding 10.

Away, we've played 16 games and won 13, scoring 37 goals and conceding 11. Our away record is better than their home record!

Bollocks he was no worse than anyone else

We'll have to disagree on that. As soon as Bernardo came on on the right, Liverpool fell to prices. Robertson just couldn't deal with him. Milner and Robertson had to double team him creating space in the middle for KDB and Gundogan.

Wonder if we’ll see any leaked team news tonight from Jose Alvarez Haya, or if the club will have plugged any leaks ahead of such an important game? Maybe Aguero’s absence might prevent him finding out anyway?

Should be any time now if he’s still getting the information.

Ooohhhh, up for it now.
Come on City !!!!!!

As someone else has stated this week, whatever Hansen, Dalglish or whoever have done in the past, it won't affect us one little bit.

Nothing would please me more tonight than to see Razza smash home a winner to silence the delusional dipper cnuts up for the last time!! Then run in front of them with a ssssshhhhhhhh finger to the mouth.
If Carlsberg did winning goals......

He's not leaking it tonight
