Liverpool (A) - Pre Match Thread

[WestGorton]

I am up for it. Sod the injuries. We fight to the end. We are Manchester.

I would be very pleasantly surprised if we even drew on Sunday but it will be a greater achievement if we win than if Liverpool win (anfield/injuries). With fit squads our first 11 is much better than theirs.

Did they double up on Messi when they beat Barca 4:0? What I saw was that they easily out ran Barca which helped them big time. I said I'm in two minds about Sergio/Gabby as Gabby's form has dipped in the last games. But there is a reason why Gabby started most games away from home this season: Wham, Shakhtar, Everton, Palace, Atalanta. Have you thought about what the reason might be? Or Pep has done it without any specific reason apart from keeping Gabby happy?

So gabby's formed has dipped and we are missing half the team so lets leave out our best striker? ok then

just did the same a Eddy would have done - but if Eddy had been sent off you would have said he had to go for it. Same goes for Bravo

I haven't criticised him for it.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest Pep won't be turning us into Burnley for 1 match.

No he won't but Liverpool are the most intense pressing team I have seen. Like ourselves the ball over the top causes them problems. You have to do whatever wins you the game. Not my decision I will be watching through my fingers on the settee.

Why's it matter who plays up front if we're as fucked as you're making us out to be?

 

[WestGorton]

We won't but I'd like to see us pack the midfeld and play on the break

Bravo
Walker Stones Otamendi Mendy
Fernandinho
Raz Foden Gundo Debruyne
Aguero

Agreed

I would swap Rodri with De Jong and Zinchenko with Kolarov. Is Jo fit for Sunday/
