I feel the same mate, but there is an unpredictability about big games like this however it does feel a bit like the visit to Old Toilet in the centurion season. We were on a dominating run and had a free hit to deal a devastating blow to our closest rivals in their backyard and we delivered big time and even though that was earlier in the season than this is the title race was over and the joys of milkgate followed!

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.

I’ve followed this team for sometime and when we are on a roll , then we are on a roll.

Using words like ‘disaster’ doesn’t somehow reinforce the point, is it a disaster ‘if’ we lose?

What constitutes old bugger? As it seems you can’t shake this notion that typical city still exists, it never existed, we were just shit, run shit, invariably shit acquisitions to boot...

There’s no fate attached and convincing yourself as such is where the anxiety comes from... the truth is Liverpool have been shit, that’s why they are losing and suffering, like us last season, in exactly the same way...

One of us will be right but it should be noted that when Pep and the team get the bit between the teeth, we excel, no assumption of divine intervention is needed to explain that though, just hard work and refreshed after 3 intense years!

You may be right, but don't come crying to me when the shit hits the fan and Klopp grins like a demented horse

That’s about as likely as Rio Ferdinand not fleeing the scene as soon as a drug tester shows up.

Need a swamp 6-1 equivalent. Don’t just break the hoodoo, we need to bend the hoodoo over and give it a good bumming.

That would change the whole perspective of the fixture and the psychology of future matches would hold a nervous fear for them and in some circumstances when their form is poor an already beaten damage limitation approach. Make it happen Pep!

No, we have more class than that, if he dares to confront our post match celebrations in the away dressing room Ederson with have a carton of gone-off single cream ready!

Well if we can't bury the Anfield hoodoo tomorrow with no fans and several of there players out then we never will.

They will only be 2 players short of their best 11. The same as us really, if we assume Aguero is capable of returning to a level of fitness where he’s the best choice. They are Van Dijk and Gomez short, we are KDB and Aguero short.

I am always pessimistic at Anfield. The last time I travelled there was for a mid-week match in 1969. City seemed to be on their way to a rare point at Liverpool at 1-1. Then disaster struck and Ian Bowyer scored for City with around 15 minutes to go. This will not end well I recall telling myself at the time, it will just annoy Liverpool!

Sure enough Liverpool scored twice in the last seven minutes to win 3-2.

I’m an adult mate, why would I come crying after a poor result? Does that constitute ‘the shit hitting the fan?’

This is why match day threads have become intolerable, people seeing their arses because it somehow makes them feel better to tell people ‘I told you so’, who gives a Donald Duck, I’ll stick to being positive and won’t lose any sleep if we have a horror show!!
