I am really worried. While I rejoiced over their 0-1 loss to Brighton, it was the worst result for us.

How likely is it that they lose 3 home games on the trot? Or fail to score at home v Burnley and Brighton? ow long can City go on keeping a clean sheet and winning?

I believe results are determined as much as anything by probability and sequences. They keep losing at home without scoring. We win and don't concede. It's all too perfect.

It's all set up for a disaster, although I voted for a draw. I wouldn't be surprised at a 0-1 defeat for us, although I voted for a draw. The omens are not good - things have been going too well and it has to go pear-shaped some time.

Call me a pessimistic old bugger but I have followed this game for a long time and I know how things work.

How likely was it that they'd lose 2 home games on the trot?

How long can City go on not winning at Anfield?

Even when Sterling was in red hot form he always cooled at Anfield. While I hope I'm wrong, I don't have great faith in him dominating now that his form is lukewarm.

But I hope I am wrong and he gets a hat trick :)

Yes to me he doesn't do it enough in the big games. Yet
 
Unlike many, Liverpool worries me. I don't care about their form. They have a style that bothers us. Even when they weren't too 2 good, they still bothered us.

I want and hope for a win. But I am not confident of it. Liverpool are better against teams who play them straight up. We will play them straight up. Which means this would be harder than it was for Burnley and Brighton.

It only seems to happen with the scum. Started in 99 (1999 not 1899), I wasn’t prepared to watch them play Bayern in the CL final. A City mate texted me to say the scum were losing and I made the mistake of turning the tv on, big fucking mistake

If Mane is out their only real tactic is the long ball to Salah on the right. If Mane plays add the left to that too. We don't need to win this game so I would frustrate them and try and break on them.

Completely understand your nervousness Dax, but there is a fundamental ability difference between us and those 2 teams. Tricky but far from impossible. If we play as well as we have been and Liverpool play as they did v spurs and West Ham its potentially a close game but we are still significantly better

I agree. He's so hard to assess this year because he stops half of our attacks to go sideways or back, or he makes a bad decision and then pops up where our no. 9 should be for a vital goal.
