We cant drop Bernie either.

Quite the conundrum!

I hate playing these twats. Even though they are shit (currently), you can bet your bottom dollar the inhalers will be out pre match and the feral scum they call fans will be polishing up their bottles to chuck at the coach.

Go in there, pass the fuckers to death and score 4 or 5 please City, preferably before half time.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Yeah,IN MY OPINION,i think he gives the ball away far too much these days and doesnt dominate like he once did.....on the flip he can create a worldy from nothing.

Mate, I normally respect your opinion but not that one. He's the ultimate big game player and is extremely likely to go out there and grab this game by the scruff of the neck. He occasionally coasts through the easy games, like last weekend, and because he tries things all the time you are going to get the odd turnover, but the flip side is massive, especially with Haaland up front. He frequently wins the biggest of games practically single-handed. I don't believe he has deteriorated one little bit. I think he's at his peak.

After watching last night's game Akanji didn't look comfortable at right back.

I would go with a back four of Cancelo Akanji Dias Ake.

It is a shame to sacrifice cancelo at lb after his recent form there, but I think for the overall good of the team it is needed in this match.

So salah cutting in on Ake's right foot and Dias's left....

la Porte would have to play if Ake plays LB.

More than that he is quite simply the best player in the league. Edit - Erling MAY become that in the near future though

I'm actually really looking forward to this Sunday. Our only win there in the last 10 years (off the top of my head) was the 4-1 when there were no fans in the ground due to that fucking pandemic that we would all rather forget about.

Sunday, gives City an opportunity to beat them in front of their own supporters at a packed Anfield and crush their season before Halloween has even arrived. If we hit top form, there's no way in which I can see their defence coping, never mind the legless midfield they have at the moment.

We'd only lost 1 of our last 9 games against them before the FA Cup semi. That and the Shield has really dented our record.

I think Pep should end this rivalry ahead head to head like he is in trophies, and we're currently trailing them 5 wins to 7 (with 5 draws) since Pep arrived.

Time for another big win like the 5-0, 4-0 and 4-1.

Cheers,no worries,i guess we all see things differently.

I almost posted the same.

Agreed. Akanji's been great at CB so far but looked uncomfortable last night.
