[Detroit City 21]

Thursday's game is why we all love football and the exciting emotional drama that it brings.

No fear of Liverpool. On paper City are clearly the better team. Liverpool certainly have the current psychological/confidence advantage based on their current league position and recent form. Pep will make sure the boys are mentally ready for this one!

Remember this is the same Liverpool team that not to long ago were beaten in the League Cup by Chelsea, then played off the pitch by Chelsea and should have lost but for a very fortunate late goal, were fortunate to tie South Hampton late and of course benefited from Mahrez's missed penalty to avoid defeat at home. City should win this game at home. If City win Liverpool will drop points with games left against Chelsea, Spurs and Wolves. Liverpool are still due to hit an unlucky patch.

Liverpool have NEVER won the Premier League and can only boast of "their league success" in the golden days of our grandparents. After City win this Liverpool will need to return to recalling the stories of victory told by their grandfather in the pre internet age.

City to win this game 3-1 and go on to win the league by 5 points or more. A wonderful encore follow up to last years Centurion Season!!

Has to start.

I think Danilo is ideal at left back. Salha likes to cut inside onto his left and Danilo is right footed . LaPorte will cover him too if he cuts inside. Also Klopp has played Salha down the middle this season and we need Laport to stay as one of the central defences pair. He handled Salha so well at Anfield. If we are all at it, we will beat them.

Stones in for Vinnie. Love Vinnie to bits but he has lost that yard of pace which the Dippers front 3 could expose.

It’s a tough call but I’d prefer Vince for this one. Won’t be distraught if Stones gets the nod, I just think Vince’s big game experience/mentality is needed.

Im sure there are more mature ways of getting behind the team

It works for the scousers

 

[KCblue]

be nice to end their unbeaten start like they did to us last year. I don't think we're out of the title race with a draw but a win makes it game on

Exactly - we are thankfully, nothing like the scousers

Can’t agree with this one, mate. Liverpool like to get around the back of you and we need stones pace to clear up.

I hope the club sticks the Liverpool Echo lot in a part of the ground without wi-fi again.
