I know Mahrez will not never play as LB, but I think he is the best available choice.

Apologies @quiet_riot but it was necessary

Too much mulled wine for you.

How sweet it would be for us to do to those bastards what they did to us last season - end their unbeaten run - and, of course, narrow the gap and sow the seeds of doubt in their minds. Now, let me dream!

If we have Gundogan or Mahrez starting, we might as well just give them a 0-2 head-start.
Dreading this as we look more defensively fragile than Arsenal.

Hoe many of us recall how dreadful Eric was playing as LB in the UCL game. This is not a game for experiments. I'd put players where they are most comfortable in as much as I can, all factors considered:

Moraes
Walker Kompany Laporte Danilo
Fernandinho
De Bruyne Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane​

Sorry mate , that back four is a recipe for disaster , Walker out of form , Vinny has lost a yard of pace an Danilo isnt a left back , hopefully it will be Danilo , Stones , Otto , and Laporte on the left to look after Salad

 

[SWP's back]

Don’t let Zinchenko anywhere near the starting 11 and job’s a goodun.

For what it's worth i believe whoever wins this game will go on and win the league, it looks like it's the dippers to league to lose and there is no way we are going to pull back a 10 point gap with 16 games to go. However if we win then then a lead of 4 points can be realistically be pulled back and surpassed.
It's about confidence, if we beat them then i can see them dropping a number of points in the coming weeks.

It will be interesting to see how Klopp views this, go all out for the win and pretty much wrap up the title or settle for a draw and play the long game.

Defo Danilo @LB

Ederson

Walker Stones Laporte Danilo

Fernandinho

Sterling D.Silva B.Silva Sane

Aguero

By sounds of it KDB ain't looking good when he says he doesn't know it's usually a month :(

Big game City Come on we can do this.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Totally agree. Give them a nasty hostile reception from start to finish like never before.

I think a fantastic atmosphere will do more wonders for our team than any hostility affecting their performance.

I'm going to take Friday off work and have a few scoops before this one. I'm going to be even more fired up than the derby! Apologies in advance to anyone sat near me in Colin Bell Level 3! COME ON CITY!!!

 

[Gabriel]

Put Danilo infield ahead of Stones and Laporte, so as to help Fernandinho, and that adds a little more cover for Zinchenko and Walker. Put Bernardo up against Fabinho and see how he copes with pressing from Aguero as well.

Ederson
Walker
Zinchenko
Stones
Laporte
Danilo
Fernandinho
Bernardo
Sterling
Aguero
Sane

 

[allblackcitizen]

Can we get Sergio Ramos in as consultant on how to judo throw your opponent without getting booked?

Seriously though, and I know we aren't that kind of team, but someone needs to fuck up Salah and kick Firmino off the park, so not only do we win the game but we take out their 2 best players for a few weeks and see how they fare then.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Apologies @quiet_riot but it was necessary

Can a mod ban themselves on here?

 

[super_city_si]

Trouble is Danilo was shit at leftback last season. He’s a cracking right back, but poor left back. It is a real problem for Thursday.

I’d probably go with this too. Left back is such a problem but how do you fix it?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

We need an atmosphere and performance like the quarter final 2nd leg last season , we battered them in the 1st half and if the referee hadnt f*cked us over with Sane's goal that would have ended up another 5-0 they were crumbling , they are very beatable , we just need our 'A' game on the night

 

[richards30]

Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Laporte
Danilo
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
David Silva
Sterling
Sane
Aguero

Think vinny is needed as the big man is our only real leader still on the pitch?

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I expect Pep to play

---------Eddie-------------
Walker-Stones-Laporte-Danilo
------Silva------Ferny----
Mahrez--Silva--Sterling
---------Aguero-----------

Liverpool will play for a draw, they just dont want to lose, we will play conservative, then hit them at some point

We need the bodies in midfield to get past their press. Kevin and David can do the overlapping keeping the back 3 back at all times and Dinho can drop making a 4 if needed.

Not like you to be negative
