Liverpool (h) CL QF pre-match thread

[City Raider]

It will all depend how many we score in the 75 mins we control the game. Hopefully it's enough to overcome the 3 we'll concede in whatever 15 minute spell they have

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Yes it certainly has.

Is anybody else suspicious of the draw for the CL quarter finals.

• The two remaining English teams get drawn against each other.
• Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern the three love children of UEFA are kept apart.

To win this you have to have a clear policy before the season commences.

1. Throw the two Cup competitions by resting all your key players each game, if you win a tie it is a bonus.
2. Rest key players in league matches that take place before a CL tie.

You still have to aim for a top four finish in case your plan comes unstuck, but that should be fairly easy to achieve with a quality squad.

When that draw with the Scousers came out with Anfield first up, I knew we were screwed.

I'd go further and say the scheduling of our Wednesday Tuesday tie was fixed.

all depends on the first 30 miniutes if were one or two up I think they may crumble without Henderson in the middle.but if we start slow and concede its gunna be a long depressing night

3-0 at full time, Kun to score in extra time, memobrable city win, then I woke up.

Anyone got a spare? Need one anywhere in ground cheers

 

[lightning Rodri]

2-2

We have sacrificed winning the league against the Rags for this dead rubber game. If Liverpool attack us which they probably will, then our defence simply cannot cope.

I hope i do. On Thursday i was saying we had a chance but after them 2 games with calamitous and comical defending can you honestly say LIverpool won' score?
No chance in hell of us progressing, Pep has fucked up our 2 biggest games of the season because of his blind faith and refusal
to adapt in these 2 games. Some of his choices on Wednesday were crap and yesterday too. If he was managing Barca Vs Real yesterday he would field his best xi with Messi, Suarez etc but no he disrespects our fan base and doesn't get at all what yesterday meant to us. He didn't even field a striker ffs and put his faith in sterling who was hopeless.
Sorry but I couldn't care less about Tuesday and the CL and UEFA. its a foregone conclusion for me and I wanted to win yesterday and he got it wrong.

Absolute bollocks he even said that he knows what it means in his press conference. And you wouldn’t be saying all that had sterling buried at least one or two of the multiple chances he had.

Yep! What a waste prioritizing this game over the derby!

Let us pray that Klopp tells his players to sit back. If we repeat our Derby first half performance but with Aguero in the striking role, we might just accomplish the miracle needed.
