What worries me with that line up, is Salad vs Laporte. Aymeric is not a fast player, and Liverpool will absolutely take advantage of that with their quick counter attacks.

So, Kyle on the right and Cancelo on the left would make me feel a bit more assured.

Or play a 3231
Stones. Dias. Laporte
Walker. Can cello
Rodri. Fern
Bern. Grundy. Foden
Jesus

just realized that’s either playing nearest to goal is keeper or 12 men

ah duck it, just win city, I’ll leave the hard work to pep

Think this is from the embargoed part of the pre-match press conference. First question is - will there be an asterisk on who ever wins the title ? I remember previously there was discussion of how great it is to be champions this year as teams have struggled more than in a normal season due to Covid. Now, that City are likely to win it, the narrative has to change.

Was there one last year ?
 
You look at both teams, the form etcetera and start believing we should win. The problem is every single time we have gone to Anfield needing a result we've failed. Everytime. League games, cup games, European games, failure after failure. It is frankly pathetic. The closest we've come is the game Mahrez thought he was playing rugby instead of football and ballooned the ball over the bar. Another miserable failure.

Please God City for once turn up, do your jobs properly and in spite of the utter cheating cretin that is Oliver and the var, WIN!!!

I love Pep lol
 
These twunts are, if anything, even more arrogant and entitled than the rags, really hope we stuff them today. I'll take an imperious display and two clear goals please Pep. Hope Mane the diver isn't on the field too. A Gundo smasher and a Dias header would be nice as both in my FF Team.......Sterling never plays well here, if the does play he has a chance to scrap that awful record of not having scored at Klanfield since his Pool days.

Yesterday's result for the rags changes things and im not sure how we react.

Had they held on fir the win we would have had to go to Anfield for the win, as it is now a draw wouldn't be the worst result.

However a win changes the league in a big way, not only putting a 10 point gap between us and the dippers but also increasing the lead over the rags.

I think Pep will keep it tight in the first 30 minutes and feel his way into the game before pushing for the win.

Momentum is key going forward.

I would think for Pep, nothing has changed wrt his gamelan.
 
They will be a full strength will available players. All the big hitters who were missing against Brighton are back.

TBF despite sometimes being a sanctomonious tit the James Ducker article is excellent. Behind a paywall but here:
www.telegraph.co.uk

How a different kind of beauty is underpinning Manchester City's pursuit of the Premier League title

City's collective defensive transformation over recent months has been the most startling aspect of Pep Guardiola's rebuild
www.telegraph.co.uk www.telegraph.co.uk

Then there is the Carragher article from the other day:

www.telegraph.co.uk

Ruben Dias should be the frontrunner for Player of the Year - he has transformed Manchester City

City stuttered post Vincent Kompany but since Dias' arrival they have found the consistent results which won league titles in 2018 and 2019
www.telegraph.co.uk www.telegraph.co.uk
 
For me it would be

Ederson
Stones Dias Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo Gundogan
Raheem Jesus Phil

Although I might be tempted to go Fern for Jesus, and let Gundogan play the false 9, the shit dipper centre backs wouldn’t have a clue. Play Raheem and Foden nice and wide to keep their full backs occupied.
 
In one offs Klopp's up and at em style can beat Peps method play as we have seen. Its like a cup tie. Yes we are more resilient at the back but also pretty frugal in attack ,will we be able to take advantage of their weakened defence?. I'd take a boring 0-0 all day long but this will be the first real test of the teams surge. Not the end of the world if we lose as long as we bounce back rapidly.

I still reckon the coach will be targeted today their feral fans won’t be able to resist. And we all know the Merseyside police will turn a blind eye

They'll not be there. They're still checking footage of Spuds arriving at Marine, trying to find anyone socially distanced to back up their ridiculous claim.

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.
