All this talk about "I'll accept a draw" is so negative, i won't accept a draw because we're reigning PL European and World champions and we're good enough to go there and win and win handsomely, and a win is vital if we're to retain the title. But we must turn up with the right mentality and start on the front foot.
As long as we can absorb their usual 20 minute kick and rush barrage i think we'll dominate play, but we have to remain focused and hit top gear because VAR will be like a flee in Olivar's ear telling him to favour them. I'll be fuckin' shocked if we get fair officiating, especially when Liverpool are kicking towards the kop end.
Our weakness is being done on the counter attack and we cannot switch off for a second. If we can keep the ball and find the right passes we need to shoot on sight of goal because that's the best way of scoring without it being micro analysed for offside.
I'm feeling more confident than recent seasons that we can get a win there because we tend to play better when the stakes are high against the biggest clubs. I just hope that Pep plays to our strengths and doesn't try and compromise our playing style to adapt to how they play.
Come on City, let's demoralise the murkeyside mofos.
