Scousers have to win this game now. Time for us to park the bus Guardiola style. Control the game, be patient, draw the sting out of their one dimensional attack and ffs finish our chances.

Even Ken Dodd?

And his dog

He's running form, if he fucks up it'll hurt him. Long term thinking.

He won’t fuck up

We just need to get in front against these lot
If we go one up we will pick them off at Will like last year
They are so open when they chase the game, Brighton could have scored four last night

I wouldn’t play FFS and Sterling in the same team against Liverpool. We can’t afford to carry 2 passengers in this game. So I’d agree with your team but Gabbi in for Sterling.

I get where you're coming from but I don't agree :)

When we're in possession and the opposition's defence are set in formation/position both Sterling and Mahrez are ALWAYS doubled up on by a wing back and one of the midfield, this'll ALWAYS create a spare man if we can move the ball quickly enough (which we're doing seemingly with ease at the minute), both of them create a lot of chances indirectly (if you know what I mean) just by being on the pitch. IMO

Opinions differ and I get that.

Pep's got interesting decisions to make and (in all probability) none of us are going to be completely happy....

....unless we win :)

I reckon it will be a false 9.

Ederson

Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Laporte

Rodri

Gundogan
Bernardo

Mahrez
Sterling
Foden

Please not Mahrez AND Sterling. We need players who can track back.

Got to take our chances in this game.
It will be different than usual due to no crowd and this help us settle and dominate.
Doubtless we will open them up but we have got to convert.
There will be times when their attack finds space and the usual script would be that they score with the 1st one.

So is Sadio Mane going to start? He is their best player by a country mile.

 

[waspish]

Notice salah want zipping around like he was against West Ham and where is Mane? In hibernation? One thing for certain Mane Salah be back on Sunday running around at 100mph for 90 mins.

I’d have Walker in for this one with his pace
