I do think we will lose , hopefully no more than 2 goals - but I can live with it ONLY if City win at the Etihad
3 points each.
 
Left side worries me. Don't think Mendy, Delph or Zin can cope with Salah if he suddenly finds form - hopefully he turns his ankle in the warm up.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see something similar to the shape we went to when Stones came on:

——-———-—-——-Ederson——————
—Walker—Otamendi/Kompany—Laporte
—————-Fernandinho—Stones————
Sterling——--Silva————Bernardo—-Sane
——————————Aguero————————-
 
Left hand side gives me mares...

Ederson
Otamendi Kompany Laporte
Walker Bernado Fernandinho Silva Delph
Aguero Sane​
 
Sorry for gundogan but this hamstring injury has come atbthe right time. Would hate to see him start against Liverpool. He has been woeful last two visits there. Silva and Silva will give us possession much better. Mahrez too shoukd probably start for the same reason.

I did think the same when stones came on and we adopted that formation. Pep will probably try something a little different so it’s not beyond reason.
 
Well we need to do something different against these fuckers, I personally think we should just go with our usual formation and let them worry about us but i have a feeling that Pep will put Gundo in the middle again as an extra midfielder.
Key decisions for me are who plays centre back alongside Laporte, who plays left back and right wing.

Myself i'd go for.

--------------------Ederson----------------------
Walker-----Stones-------Laporte------Delph
----------------------Ferny-----------------------
Mahrez-----Berny--------Merlin----------Sane
---------------------Aguero----------------------
 
According to Guardiola, we've learned from the games against them last season, so presumably, no Gundogan on the right and a degree of composure if we concede the first goal. How we close the space in the left channel is the big question, especially after tonight's auditions, and you just know where Saha is going to be deployed.

Mahrez isn’t as good defensively as sterling though.
 
Not much hope to be honest without a proper LB. For some unexplainable reason we are piss poor at Anfield. Better get it over now and hope they shit the bed later. Sterling is playing well but I expect Mahrez to start ahead of him.

Pep said Delph won't be back this week.
