Liverpool (A) - Sun 3 Oct 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Pep could’ve made changes for this, to freshen things up, the fact Liverpool are different stylistically to Chelsea and so maybe he could’ve wanted different style players in there. Ultimately he’s kept it simple in team selection, this was the XI that won in fantastic fashion at Chelsea and is good enough to do the same at Anfield. Can’t disagree at this stage with that methodology.

The other 8 aren’t too bad, and maybe one of the first 2 keepers has a slight knock

That would be the only reason mate because other than than that it’s a waste

Did Merseyside police forget to hand out the bricks?

Saving them for after the game when we have tanked them 3-0 :)

Apparently Milner is allowed to play with an axe today and chop Jack down at will, yellow card for murder in 94th minute

LOL. Sad but true.

 

[Mancity1980]

What? No bizzies and no coach smashing?? Have the dippers gone soft?…:)

 

[abu13]

The lack of an out and out striker still worries me but we should create plenty of opportunities today, hopefully we are clinical when the chances arrive.

Milner right back. Get Grealish at him

Milner is old but he is solid, its blue tinted wishful thinking weirdness around an ex-city player to pretend he's a bad player.

I dont expect hes going to struggle with Grealish the way he would against pace, which is the one thing he lacked even when he was here.

If Cancelo pushes up and they try to make it a 3v1 things might get interesting in midfield because Fabinho will have to come over.

Really need grealish to produce today. He is the key man against their obvious weak link

More chops than a 90 minutes watching Aleks Kolarov

I could have told you in advance the posters who would spend more time complaining about the bench than the actual team! Haha!

Wait until the match starts. The match threads for difficult games (which this will almost definitely be) are, generally, a cesspit.

 

[applecentral]

The best team picked. Now we have 11 quality players who will run themselves into the ground for this game. Rag pool will look at that team and shit themselves.

Raz would’ve been great against him.

Grealish is relentless so hoping he just tires him out

I guess the only issue is whether he wanted to put another kid on the bench, but plenty of options with those who are there

Yeah I won’t be around for that!

 

[eastmanc]

Agreed, Trouble is, if we had a striker he would be playing on the wing in his proper positiion but now that we have Jack he’s having to shoe him in which doesn’t work. Anyway hope he doesn’t play, he’s out of form and we look much better without him.

Raz isn’t in our best eleven and he isn’t as effective as the other options on either wing. If he was he would be in the side.

Yep, as they were too busy selling smack.

No that's their IT dept

Once upon a time.
