what a fucking game and night this was. Unbelievable standard of football that night

Magic and a fantastic atmosphere- the good old days

I see it as a free hit, if we lose still 4 points clear with a game in hand.

This is correct young andy , i want to batter them though x

Pep could spring a suprise and play fern and rodri with gundo in front, then a front 3 of Bernardo, foden and jesus, a very mobile.front 3.
I can see arnold getting caught high up the pitch and foden causing havoc down that left side for us.

Arnold can’t defend, other than getting away with handball. The only player they have left who can tackle is Robertson

That goes without saying x

I see pep going more defensive for at least 70 mins to see how the games going. He will be happy with a 0-0. They will raise their game as it’s us.

not going to be as easy as we think, they have nothing to loose so pressure on us

They have the title to lose.

The pressure is very firmly on them.

 

[Stoned Rose]

These c*nts will be up for it after the Brighton defeat. They know if they lose against City, it's all over as far as retaining the PL title goes.

The heavy metal manic press for the first 30 minutes will be insane. That has caught us out before on numerous occasions.

We need to play safe, beat the press, keep the ball, weather the storm, and try and get the 1st goal. That goal should knock the stuffing out of them, and bring the collevtive team and individual doubts flooding back again.

What we don't need to do us to concede another early goal at Anfield.

They've look absolutely fucked the last few weeks.

Cant see this "press" of theirs being up to much.

Large buzz.

There's never a better opportunity to beat them at their place than right now. Unfortunately I just think we will bottle it yet again. It's the bloody cup final for the Dippers and for some reason we just seem to shit our pants every time we go there. The curse has to be broken sooner or later, and I hope it is Sunday, but I fear it will not be.

Utter bollocks.

The 0-0 with the Mahrez penalty miss we were the better team.

Their recent wins have been moody as fuck with pure bent refereeing.

Play the game, not the occasion.

We are the better side and we should be going there to fucking leather them.

Large buzz.

Large buzz.

Getting behind the team 100% team 100% nothing left and no fucking whinging from any fucker -those were definitely the days

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

I think we will win sunday they seem to be jaded and have lost there mojo maybe when jottas back from injury they might rediscover there mo jo!))

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Why so much sceptism, the dippers have to win which means Pep will keep it tight and want to keep possession as much as possible.

The dippers will try and press like loons to try and get an early goal, so the first 30mins we just have to remain water tight - which we have been doing.

The longer the game goes on and the dippers haven't scored, then they become their own worst enemy especially after recent results - heads down, stupid decision making, rash sloppy defending

And let's not forget they are a makeshift back four which includes Henderson.

We should exploit it 100%

Pep will have a gameplan to combat it, our team are playing for each other

Nows the time to beat them at klanfied and put them out the race for good, a bit like putting down a rabid dog

Not you mate.. but makes me laugh the way these dippers go on about Jotta

with every match he misses and every poor result they get.. he morphs more into Lionel Messi

at the end of the day, Wolves hardly went out of their way to keep him there

 

[the plasterer]

Hate this fixture more than the derby, probably because we never get anything out of it, they will come out at us 100mph , need to hang in there ,don't concede early like normally do there

The perfect line-up. Having Cancelo come back to defend and tuck into midfield in attack, Fernandinho’s presence as well as a ’leftback’ in Laporte strengthening that side. I also want the inverted wings; Ferran has a strong right and Foden his strong left. Same goes for Gundo and Bernardo.

Reality: Pep will probably play both Rodri and Mahrez. Sterling can’t be anywhere near this team on Sunday. This is probably our most important game of the season as we can put an end to Liverpools title hopes. Sterling is fkn awful right now (yes, despite his tap-in goal) in everything that he does. Even a blind man could see that he struggles.

Love that line up for this game, the dippers will never get passed that back five. I like having Fernandinho in there for a bit of insurance as well

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

A proper title decider, not the hyped up shit Sky try and generate Feb onwards with anyone who's in the top 4.

That was the last PL game I went to, when I was over on holiday from NZ. Cracking game, utterly shit faced. Good times!

 

[nellyonthewing]

Milner & Henderson will be kicking anything that moves. They'll come out fast we need to have an outlet upfront unfortunately none of our front players can hold up play.

 

[Paul1970]

Be a tight game and they will be up for it but the beauty of this game is even if god forbid we get beat we are still 7 points in front of them if we win our game in hand.

We'll dick em
