Liverpool (A) - Sun 1st Dec, 16:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

hopefully their supporters behave themselves.

More chance of a clean sheet.

 

[deano ou812]

To be fair we have punished them a few times at the Etihad they are probably due a big win against us and this would be their best chance in my opinion..

Take a draw imo need Ake at left back to deal with Salah Gvardiol not capable of that

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I don’t want to watch this one

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I’m always optimistic but Jesus. Not looking forward to this one bit

 

[handsofstone]

i dont want Lewis, Gvardiol or Walker in the starting line up. their heads are gone at the moment

Wouldn't disagree but Stones is probably not available and Ake is always 50/50, deffo not reliable enough to play 90 mins

If you take those 3 out you have Dias, Akanji and a so-so Ake to pick a back 4 or 5 from... so who you playing with them? One of the kids? Salah/Dias wi tear then apart and ruin their confidence

Also that means that Gundogan is all but certain to play, which I think will be the worst possible outcome against a team as physical as Liverpool

we were 3-0 up with gundogan on the pitch against feyenoord so im prepared to give him a pass. Nunes might be an option of some kind, O Reilly? it really is tragic

Kev has to play. No more fannying about.

We don't have enough fit players available and are tactically limited.

Vaseline at the ready to ease the pain I think

They’ll probably have stoke on trent back taking those free kicks…

 

[Blu1]

Don’t even see us getting a shot. They have too much energy for us. They look strong v Madrid
