Sterling is one of our best performers and we need him. The only way he can get over the Liverpool hurdle is by playing. We need Stones and Laporte to add to our buildup and dominate/recycle possession. I don't know if delph/mendy are fit so Zin by default after Laporte's performance as a LB. I have faith. He's good with the ball and looks fitter and more confident this year.
I'm not confident with how Dinho will perform tbh. Teams that press and press well usually target him whether vs Liverpool or in Europe and he's prone to giving the ball away. Hopefully he has a big game.
We need our two magicians setting everything up, retaining the ball, playing with composure.
 
I don't see anyway we get anything from this game no matter how much I analyze it. Our high line defending is tailor made for their press and pace. Our ageing DM is going to get harassed to death and is getting caught in possession and giving the ball away this season even when not under pressure. If he plays Laporte at left back we are definitely doomed.

We have the players who could hurt them at the other end but the problem is Sterling shits himself every time he plays there and whoever he replaces him with isn't as effective.

A change of tactics is needed but we all know Pep won't do that. Add that rag ref Atkinson into the equation and I am dreading Sunday.

I will get hammered for this post but that is the way I see it. I pray I am wrong and would be ecstatic with a draw right now.

I don't see why you would get hammered,the evidence backs up all your points.Its how I see things too.KDB's absence will be fully felt for the first time.
 
To stand any chance we have to be on our ‘a’ game. Prior to last night i was confident we could overturn our curse at their ground, but there were alot of sloppy passes last night when not under pressure.

Make those kind of mistakes and liverpool will pounce on them and it could make it a day to forget. Hopefully even though we got the win last night which was deserved after our overall performance, Pep will be drilling them about not making mistakes. If being pressed for example like last night, laporte decided to knock back to the keeper and played their frontman in on goal, he just needs to knock it out and play it safe.

People always hammer any opinions that aren’t happy clappy, but you’re allowed to say what you think. We’re not in the best shape for this match, bearing in mind how the opposition play and how we are currently playing, I think most can see that. I think we’ll draw though after going behind in the first half.

I think we’ll draw, Chelsea win, then all 3 teams will be on 20 points.

We are Manchester fucking city ffs, runaway champions with the best players in world football. These twats haven’t won the league in 3 decades. Refs? Anfield? Tactics? Fuck those excuses. Come on City!!!!!!

?? That doesn’t mean everyone has to think we’ll win every game we play. Runaway Champions last season, yes. We also lost 3 times to this weekends opponents. It’s like you are confusing not thinking we’ll win with not wanting us to win. Nobody is a bigger blue by saying we’ll smash them.
