13 goals conceded all season is it? Including 4 to Leicester? Pep should show that article to Dias before kick off and the whole locker room can have a great big belly laugh.

5 to Leicester. 8 goals conceded in 20 games, absolutely remarkable.

5 of those are also penalties, which means we’ve conceded 8 from open play in 21, which is outstanding!

Sorry but this season still has many twists and turns yet. Too early to count chickens.. A couple of injuries to key players could mess things up.

That’s the media narrative of course, and I don’t want to be too cocky. But I know a title winning side when I see it and this is one. We are already missing our best player and I can’t see another major injury that we couldn’t cope with.

No opposition player has scored against Ederson since November. 14 games, only 2 goals conceded - both own goals.

I think you'll find Mahrez is available....

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo
Fernandinho
Gundogan
Bernardo
Foden
Torres
Jesus

Keep it simple, don't go into your shells.

We need Dinho and Foden to play. They have the energy and fight required for this.

We don't need Raheem to play. He sucks everytime he's up against them.

Please, let's learn from our mistakes and just play to our biggest strengths. Go and there and fucking batter 'em.

It's far from impossible that we concede 3 goals in one game, shit happens. Objectively seen, City conceding 3 against Liverpool is not less likely than Liverpool with their first-choice CBs conceding 7 against Villa. Football is a game where highly unlikely things can and do happen. We had a good defence when we conceded 4 in January 2018. Not as good as now, but still pretty good overall.

That said, I hope we finish the game with another clean sheet. Would be fantastic. Hope Pep is calm enough after Klopp's irritating comments and shows patience. Tire them down and beat them in the 2nd half.

Jon richardson , from the express i think , he is the little chap who always looked like he was about to burst into tears on the supplement , rag lover

Thanks Karen. He sounds like a very small man, a stereotype creepy rag

 

[Blu1]

Klopp is a total tit.
His sky sports interview is embarrassing

Just hope Guardiola doesn’t overthink things, as he sometimes does at Anfield, and throws a curveball into the starting XI. Just keep playing the way we have been in recent weeks.
