I know what you mean, he is due a good game against them but I think it's too big a gamble to start him. We need everyone at their best tonight and Bernardo Silva will be well up for it. Sterling off the bench with a stretched game and a point to prove could be interesting

Bernardo retains the ball better. It's him, or even Gundogan in there next to Fern, for me tonight. Sterling to rattle 2 in at our place next week to seal the tie.
 
Both Silvas to start please, let's pass them into the ground. Let them run around like headless chickens with trying desperately to rouse the tourists in that library they call a ground with their one trick pony gegendepressing. Then when they tire we go all out.
 
Ederson
Walker
Otamendi
Kompany
Delph
Fernandihno
Debryune
Silva
Sterling
Sane
Jesus.

Easist 11 all season.
 
I voted earlier in the week that we would draw tonight but am feeling a 3-1 city victory
Come on city
C.T.I.D .
 
As already suggested we do have a habit of conceding early against them. so much respect given to them last time out.im a bit nervous at the moment Really hope we can keep them quiet a lot will depend on how solid we are but those like myself who are in our fifties could only dream of watching our blues playing in games of such magnitude COME ON YOU BLUES

Yep both Silvas - Sterling if needed later.
 
I'd love to say 3-1 to City.
But we always start slowly at Klanfield and if we concede first our heads will drop and we will lose. It's nearly always the same.
 
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
 
come on just a stuffy win will do but so would a nice 3 goals to take bk home would be perfect and shut those gobby tramps up..come on city .

Yes. We have to remember that this is not a Premier League game where ref's don't often like giving early cards. Too many "welcome to the game" challenges go unpunished in the PL, specially on our more creative players. Silva used to get a good kicking most games, but has become more apt at dealing with it recently.

Hopefully, the match officials won't have been given his Scouse istry lesson before the game, and it will be refereed fairly.
 
Have a feeling that we’ll have this tie wrapped up tonight. For all the talk about Liverpool and this supposed atmosphere, we’re the best side in world football at the moment and we should be winning.
 
Last week if you'd have asked me I'd have left Sterling out after his previous poor performances there. But looking at him for England and Everton game think it's time he finally shuts them up and a starring performance tonight would be fantastic. Think pep will play him a bit more central tonight which may help him and city.

That would do nicely.

Good point RE ball retention, I watched Real last night and their composure in possession was effortless. Liverpool will relentlessly press us so we need to make sure our possession is up to normal standard. Good game to bring Bernardo in and I think he'll do well tonight.
