Liverpool (A) - Pre Match Thread

How do you know we're without Ederson ?

Pep post conference

walker to start in goal

This sounds more promising:

Pep Guardiola asked if Ederson will be fit for Sunday:

"I don't know right now. It's a muscular problem. It was not big but to avoid risk. He didn't feel comfortable in the last minutes and that's why we decided to make a substitution."

[@spbajko]

Don’t be surprised if he starts Ota, Stones and Ferna on Sunday, but in a 5. That way he can switch to 4-5-1 at any point without having to make a sub. Unless Rodri is fit.

I love it when everybody thinks we're riding for a fall - come on you blue boys, time to give them a gentle reminder of how good we are :)

We’re in for a hammering. If we get anything then I’ll be pleased.

Sounds more like your username should be Manchester_la... ;-)

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Ota
Mendy
Dinho
Gundogan
KDB
Sterling
Bernardo
Aguero

Not that I'm happy to play with Stones and Ota together, but it's very important that Fernandinho will play as a DM. Gundogan will start to help him defensively, Walker and Mendy are very physically strong and must play, Bernardo will be very helpful on the wings .
We can beat them

Kyle, when the other players were discussing our chances against Liverpool in the dressing room:

No Otters or Gundogan please Pep. Both should only ever play against teams that don't pressure or challenge us.

Walker to keep his place in goal.

 

[Bluekiwi]

They will hit the ball over our midfield for Firmino, Salah and Mane (if he can stay on his feet) to chase.
And we need to be organised really quickly for any of their corners as their fullbacks take the kick as quick as possible.
No idea who to play - I'll leave that up to Pep and Co.

0.0 sunday

Is that before kick off or after 100 minutes?
