Tough choice between Ake and Laporte, purely went for pace and the fact Ake deserves to play in such a big game after his form this season.

Wouldn’t be averse to putting Ake left back and Cancelo right back but then where does Akanji go? Plus Cancelo has a tendency to defend quite well against Salah.

Just hope we batter these bastards but because of who they are and where it’s going to be, I’d still take a point. Which could look foolish by the end of the game.

We always play a flat 4 across midfield here-so usually Bernie next to Rodri to help against their high press.

Wonder which day this week the press will run with their usual pre-Liverpool game financial scandal story about City?

 

[Gabriel]

If we go with a back four of Akanji/Dias/Laporte/Ake/Cancelo (perm any 3 of the first 4), do we go with the extra stability of Rodri or use Gundogan/de Bruyne/Bernardo and play them off their park?

Gotta be that.

Not sure what people have seen from laporte in the last two champions League matches to think he'd be a better option than Ake on current form.

Liverpool fans already crying they're 1-0 down to start with Taylor as ref. Crying cunts the lot.

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

No doubt we will get the bus wrecked on the way to the ground and the viral scum will make the atmosphere toxic, we will need to score early and not take our foot off the gas and get a second to win this one. Even though they are in poor form and have some injuries (some of which actually help them - TAA for example) they will treat this as their cup final to spark their season into life. We have to be brave and keep to the way we play. I will be happy with a draw and over the moon with a win.

 

[Tb1981]

Alexander, Diaz, Matip, Gomez out?

Robertson still injured?

Hopefully Rangers can take another couple out tonight.

We really have no excuse.

Reminds me of a few years ago when we went to anfield with bravo in net, Angelino At left back and Fernandinho at centre back

 

[Ghost of 76]

I will be happy with a draw and over the moon with a win.

I will be absolutely gutted if we let them off with a draw again this time, with the way two clubs have been playing so far this season!
