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

[roubaixtuesday]

I've done detailed statistical analysis of our games this season, have reached some clear conclusions and have my advice ready for Pep and the team tomorrow.

"GO SMASH THE SCOUSE CNUTS!"

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Would love a statement of intent in the mould of last week...

i, like a number of others, were wary of where we are at pre Chelsea, and despite the disappointment of mid week, we still looked excellent, result apart..

the dippers will be our main rivals imo and are scoring freely, however also coming up against the tightest defence in the league. It all comes down to who draws first blood, we get our noses in front I fancy us

going 1-0, Bernardo masterclass

 

[MadchesterCity]

No Trent which probably means Milner which means play pace against him to expose him. Should be Sterling.

No thanks, not possible anyway, Sterling is off to Alton towers so unavailable

 

[Bluemanc100]

Hopefully no team talk needed tomorrow... we need to smash them and shut their disgusting fanbase up

I'm married to one so a draw would be the ideal result for me, for marital harmony but I want to destroy the fuckers...

I'd taka 0-1 though ;-)

Had the misfortune to hear one of them on 606 this evening, warbling on about us having no European histreeeee!

I give up.

So that suggests they are planning a coach welcome does it? … I just hope as a club we have a clear plan of what we will do if that shit does occur.

2 presenters were milking it big time weren’t they? Sad cases.

I think most City fans agree with this line up. Although Pep praising Sterling for the PSG performance has me thinking he could take the place of Jesus. I wouldn't be surprised if he drops Stones in out of nowhere as well for Laporte.
I know Grealish was frustrated the other night but he never seems fazed and he'll lap up the Anfield crowd. I'll be upset if he sits out the game. Especially with Trent out. Foden is another who seems to relish these games, he was fantastic last season and that finish was sublime. KDB, Foden, Grealish and Silva need to start IMO.
Like most people have said keep them at bay for the usual onslaught at the start and dictate play. Hopefully we have learnt our lesson from past years. Last year was fantastic but the non Anfield crowd narrative needs shutting up.

I agree - Foden and Silva hate the dippers and will work 'till they drop - Grealish will relish the prospect, too - just sub Sterling on late for a cameo against tired defenders.

I heard him, said City aren't a European Club.

Wanted to ring up and say the Dippers aren't a Premier Leagur club are they.
1 title in over 30 seasons, puts them on a par with Blackburn and Leicester.

I was waiting for the City fan to tell him that we‘d won a European trophy before them! The other two muppets are just there to generate calls.
