Liverpool (a) pre-match thread

[kaz7]

Nabi Keita injured. Henderson to tire out this game now. That’s two threats part nullified. Liverpool will now start to realise what’s playing 52 games a year with no major expectation vs playing 62 games a year expected to win most games!

[citytilllidie]

Mendy will play

Field day for Salah if that's the case

Who would you play there?

There might be a couple of surprise inclusions in the squad.

Personally, I would love to have Foden's energy and technique in there alongside Fernandinho and Bernardo.

Sterling must play, but Silva could do with a breather.

We must offer Liverpool a different look.


..... Ederson......
WALKER.. . STONES. . LAPORTE.. ZIN. .
....................FERN........
............BERNARDO.... FODEN. ..
STERLING.. . AGUERO.......SANE

Sterling always struggles against Liverpool, why start him !

Mahrez is ready.

& I would love to see Foden start a game in the league, but not against Liverpool.

Who would you play there?

Zinchenko, Mendy on the wing

Their finishing in the 4-3 was actually absurd when you look back at them. Mané's in particular.

We also had Stones just back from injury and out of form.

Play that game with the same players tomorrow and the result would be different, I'm sure of it.

Still, they've improved beyond that and now have the confidence of the last 3 games against us, so it'll be harder on Sunday.

Fuck em, they could easily become complacent with their recent victories. Still think we are better on our day by a mile, we just need to bring it on Sunday.

I would actually risk zivchenko or play 3 at the back, if salah is stopped from getting the ball he is pretty inefective, unlike sane who drops back to create.

 

[borassic]

Don't be afraid to go long and in behind! Our front three are rapid!!!!

 

[citytilllidie]

Physically, Mendy will overpower TAA. Sane a bit flimsy, good sub though.

I'd be gobsmacked if Sterling doesn't play. He's had two years to 'mature' under Pep and so far this season he is looking sharp. This is the game that needs to give him a seismic shift in confidence and take him to the next level, if it ain't happening on Sunday it will never happen.

Sterling needs to improve
Shocking one on one miss last night to go with the countless ones from last season.

That was hardly a “shocking” miss, it was a decent/fortunate save by their keeper. Weird how some of our own fans are so keen to continually dig Sterling out.

Sick of reading shite like this about Sterling. He’s become one our key players, proved himself to many City fans that doubted him.

 

[journolud]

Nothing wrong with Sterling's finsihing this season

Absolutely , the amount of crap Sterling endures and we have tools on this forum jumping on the band wagon , go on an Engerrland forum if you want to slag his finishing but he scored over 20 goals last season and will do the same this season , and is a vital part of our squad just wish he would sign the contract because he is one of the top three wide players in europe and will only get better under Pep.

Yep, I think we all.know he will continue to miss those. But he isn't a striker and where I see improvement is in other aspects of his game, he needs to show himself and everyone else that he can do it in the very important games, at the most difficult of grounds.

I just want him to go up a level Ric
He does have an issue in his finishing and one on ones. Surely people recognise this and it's an observation and not a criticism?
Outstanding player and can get better.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Dips have looked fucking knackered tonight v Napoli.

We’ll do them.

He's done it already this season with his goals. It's fucking boring the amount of stick he gets from our own.

Don’t we all but NO striker takes all there chances
