Liverpool (a) Pre-Match Thread

Or what about a last minute penalty in front of the kop after a foul by Milner

This bit could be particularly pertinent, as Guardiola mentioned about Liverpool attacking the inside channels, rather than out wide, in yesterday's press conference.

But that win was followed by another bad defeat to Dortmund, suffering once again on the break. This meant that when the teams met in the 2014 German Cup final, Guardiola again had to find a new system. Their natural game was too vulnerable. So, as revealed in Marti Perarnau’s revelatory books about Guardiola, he went for a 3-6-1, realising that Dortmund liked to counter down the inside channels, rather than out wide. Those were the spaces Bayern had to shut down. It worked, with Bayern winning 2-0 in extra time.

Wonder if he'll pack the midfield tonight for similar reasons? Not sure we've got the players to do it, and wouldn't like to see the return of a back three, but get the feeling Guardiola won't pick the team that most are predicting on here.

I'd bite your hand off for a draw just to shut the fuckers up.

You're an optimist (the shutting the fuckers up bit, not the draw!)

Anyone know a decent city/kid friendly pub downtown. Got 8,10 and 12 year olds with me.

THIS could be the match that really kick starts our title challenge. WIN and we put pressure on all around us and close the gap to the cockney twats. LOSE, and we will have to listen and watch the media in meltdown as they hail Victimpool as slayers.
