Liverpool (a) pre-match thread

[@BluePhil8]

Fans are beaten before the games even started judging by the poll.

What would make you think, in your wildest dreams, that Stones plays in midfield at Anfield? Do you seriously see that team playing? If so, wow.

I dont think it's a ridiculous suggestion at all. We can't keep trying the same thing over and over as it clearly doesn't work, we've got several players missing, sticking stones in with Fernandinho might be the best alternative option we have.

if Mendy is fit, I think he will go down that route, it will offer a bit of flexibility to either stick to the usual formation but give us some extra protection or we could easily revert to a 3 at the back system with Mendy and Walker pushing on as wing backs.

Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Laporte
Mendy
Stones
Fernandinho
Silva
Bernardo
Sane
Aguero

The last minutes of today’s game. Imo we need a second pivot and who would it be if not Gundogan?

Danilo.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Danilo.

Would be an option, but has been injured since the WC and came back not long ago

 

[SWP's back]

The last minutes of today’s game. Imo we need a second pivot and who would it be if not Gundogan?

Stones and Dinho.

From the 2010/11 season until now, basically city and liverpool have put in the exact same type of performance every time they've met at anfield, with a very similar end result each time. And I dont expect that to change on Sunday.

First time i've seen a poll on here where lose is winning. Voted lose as well, purely because anything more is a positive for us.

We win there and we can win absolutely anywhere. We'll destroy the league again if we win there.

Just can't see us winning though.

Need legs in midfield for this one, so Kev and even Delph are big losses.

 

[york away to this!]

You miserable bunch of pessimistic fuckers. We'll be 0.3 up at 20 minutes. Let's smash these wankers.

 

[Armaan]

If we can beat them on Sunday I’d cherish that day above all others. With our record that it’s hard to be confident of a win, I’d take a draw in a heartbeat.

 

[117 M34]

Don't usually fancy us here but think we will do it on Sunday and win 2-1.

Wouldn't be surprised if we went 3 at the back. Worked very well at home last year and play a double pivot with stones and dinho.
