Liverpool (a) Pre-Match Thread

[Bluep*ss]

Can City get ""special dispensation"" from the PL - ? that we can play Caballero and Bravo together in this game.
Shows how much confidence I have in the team after the first 70 mins at Hull.
Sterling will get "hammered" by the dippers crowd - would love it if he got a hat trick.

I hope Kun has been on a strict fitness & conditioning regime while he's been away.

He's looked sluggish & heavy for 18 months now - there I've gone & said it - and a bit mentaly dull. He's missed chances this year that he'd have scored with his eyes shut 2/3 years ago.

IMHO he's not the player he was,he looks troubled & tempermentaly fragile. Pep is challenging him in a way he doesn't like & it shows.

Come back the 'old'Kun,we're goina need you.

This is the 2nd time you have said it and it was rubbish both times

I agree with him. Kun hasn't been the same player since last season

 

[MarsLlama]

Aguero's cost himself six Premier League games through bad decisions. He has some catching up to do with Sanchez, Ibrahimovic and Costa if he wants that Golden Boot so I think he'll score at least one at the weekend.

 

[CrownPointBlue]

Do go to any games ?
I think you'll find the coach isn't 100% enamoured.....thought you'd have read about it. It's been in the papers you know.
Cheer up pal,you might enjoy it.

He is not doing as well this year,the rest was exaggerated nonsence

 

[manygoose]

same formation as the second half against arsenal. whoever's fit in the back 4, with sane on the left and sterling on the right. kevin must be in the middle

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

..................Bravo....................
Sane....Stones......Otamendi...Aleks
.........Fernandinho...Silva...........
Sterling.........KDB.............Nolito
..................Kun.....................

Yes, Sane at RB. I'd slaughter their left flank to keep Milner pinned in and play Silva very deep like earlier in the year to keep their midfield chasing shadows.

Not a game for Yaya methinks.

He's been absolutely useless in the last 4 games.

Sané at RB would only work if Fernandinho was covering that side and Touré was alongside him to cover the rest.

 

[MarsLlama]

Seven

Is it? He's had seven game bans but one was in the EFL cup. What was the last one he missed?

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

That's a fair point. I don't think Yaya has the legs for a game like this, so perhaps Fernando in their and Silva on the left with Nolito dropping out, but I'd love to see what Sane and Sterling could do on the same flank.

In saying that Liverpool away is probably not the game to try it!

I'll have to get up earlier in the day to outsmart you.

 

[aguero93:20]

Hope sjoke revert to their Clubshop days this evening.

 

[Danish Blue]

Add in a player that can't keep possession for one that can, to negate a press? Cool.

The same thing struck me, Fernando is more a man to press the opposition, he hardly negates them pressing us, in fact he invites it.

 

[Danish Blue]

If we all believe the high press is coming, and I do, then go with pace and go long. Sane and Sterling and get Kolarov knocking those diagonals to Raheem as quickly as possible. Not a day for possession side to side football, we will get picked off/

 

[Helmet Cole]

I'd love to see Raheem skin them and get 3. I'd imagine scoring more than one is a sending off offence at klanfield though :-(

 

[bluemoon32]

I'd be more than happy with a point, better City sides than this present one have been battered at Anfield.

 

[DWIFF]

Anyone think he might leave Aguero out and go for the tactic employed in the second half against Arsenal? Sane and Sterling wide with Kev and Dave through the middle..
