You ask for a “proper” left back then claim 2 midfield converts as your choices, lol mate.
True, but both have played as left backs for us several times and done very well

I nearly put 10.Most likely 15 v 10 at least, I reckon there'll be some aggressive walking from our lads and you can't do that.
Dinho sent off for looking at the ref ''bit funny".

Anything other than a defeat would be a great result for us today (obviously I'd prefer a win)

Need a faultless performance from Dinho today, he's key to the result

Wish it was the earlier kick off. Seems like fucking ages away.
------------------Ederson------------------
Walker----Stones----Laporte----Mendy
---------------Fernandinho---------------
--------Bernardo---------D.Silva---------
Sterling---------Aguero-------------Sane
Bench: Muric, Danilo, Kompany, Otamendi, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus
Rather than switching to 3 at the back, i think our best chance to defend in this game is simply to pass our way out and through the Liverpool press as much as we can. Stones and Laporte give us the best chance of doing that. Similarly in midfield, i'd start with Bernardo and Silva with the expectation that they can just keep the ball. With our record at Anfield, i'd be delighted with a draw today so we really don't need to take any risks going forward. Just keep the ball moving and don't be too eager to give up possession trying the killer pass when it's not really on.
It gets said every time we go to Anfield but just don't give them encouragement. We know Liverpool will run themselves into the ground from the start. We know the Anfield crowd will get behind them. Keep the ball, make them run, frustrate the crowd and take the sting out of the occasion. If we can manage to reach half-time on level terms, i'd fancy us to get the win. Gaps will appear in midfield later in the game and that's the time to throw De Bruyne and Mahrez on.
At the end of the day, if we lose again, we're only 3 points off the top and we've got our toughest game of the season out of the way. But this is a chance to end some hoodoos. Win at Anfield, goal for Aguero, Sterling plays well, De Bruyne is back and we go clear at the top of the league. I've actually got a good feeling about this one.

I'm not going to lie, it's rare I really get excited for a City game these days, we're just too powerful for most sides, even the derby's aren't what they used to be, those bastards stole that result last season.
However, a big european tie or our nascent rivalry with Liverpool is mouthwatering.
I've no idea how we will get on today, they are the type of side that are set up to beat us but if we're clinical and keep them on the
back foot as much as possible, we may get our result.
Come on blues.
