Liverpool (A) | Pre-Match Thread

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.

if Scotland can beat England at Twickenham for the first time since 1983, we can do similar at Anfield. We just need to replicate their controlled aggression. If Carlsberg did weekends........

Likewise, if Scotland can outplay England at Twickenham then Liverpool can beat Man City at Anfield. We need to be on our guard and avoid complacency.

Foden must start and that’s why he was rested today-he can skin either of their full backs. I wonder if he goes for false 9 and drops Jesus to the bench.

I hope not, we need the pressing Jesus does to keep their defence honest, he works his bollocks off like Bernardo and we need that commitment today ..

Ps, I know, scousers and honest :-))

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.

I’m so fucking nervous now. I honestly think if we win today they might as well put the blue ribbons on our trophy. I really think the title race is dead if we win. It’s always the hope that kills you. Please City, please.

I think yesterday’s result eases the pressure on us, which I think will work to our advantage. Hopefully the players will be more relaxed and able to play their usual game with less fear or tension. Today is almost a free hit now, in the sense that a defeat wouldn’t be that damaging to our title hopes.

I'm not that optimistic that today will decide anything, as the Rags and LiVAR will continue to drop points later in the season regardless of the result. I will join you in saying this though; it'll be a more relaxed February, :)

No crowd, no buses to smash up, no dancing on cop cars.
The last time I can remember beating the Dippers was an Anelka goal,
in 2003, it's now time to break this record.
And if we do, I can't wait to see the kipper on the bloke who's had a baby
grand piano fitted into his gob.

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
