Took the words out of my mouth mate.

Yeah but all workhorses for the pressing then getting into the channels for there front 3

In fairness, he did say you didn’t know you ARE football, which means you know everything about it, just weren’t aware of it.

Yep. But if I pointed that out, I'd be accused of being a grammar nazi, as well as being a football ignoramus.

Give me exact coordinates so I can estimate time to arrival (you know, as a distraction). ;-)

Lol

Very hard for Liverpool to press the way they like on our big pitch.

David Silva is the key man for me tonight, if he can find space against that workaholic midfield, he could be the match winner.

perfect setup in countering liverpool. 3 at the back while in transition and 4 while defending in two lines. we have an extra CB during transition. The only thing is sane should be doing more defensive work.

Danilo LB and walker at RB?

Danilo isn't really a natural left back to be fair. He's much more comfortable at right back. And Walker is (in my opinion) the worst defensive player, on current form. He was a disaster waiting to happen. I didn't expect him to play and there were quite a few other posters who expected him to be benched, and everyone was right.

It isn't ideal. Delph And Mendy are injured. But i would rather Guardiola play Laporte at left back and Danilo at right back than play Danilo at the left and have Kyle feking Walker giving them 1 on 1 after 1 on 1 with his brainless decisions and mistakes.

This is a makeshift back 4. But it's what it is.

Any chance we can have no blue on blue trolling in the match threads please,the rags/dippers will be easier to spot,this is not the game for trolling each other

Never give in

An unsure hmmmm. Laporte at left back didn’t exactly work last time. But he’s gone up a level as a player since last time so maybe more confident in dealing with it.

Left back is a problem position, needs addressing. It is an even bigger problem position against Salah!

Wow that Liverpool midfield!!!!!! Come on City

That's part of his tactics. He'll bring his fresh midfielders on in the second half and try and hit us when our midfield has tired.
We've got to make the first half count.
