Liverpool (h) pre-match thread

[Scottish Cityzen]

Bernardo Silva isn’t in good form either? He’s been wank for a month now

His form had shaded in a few games in December, thought he was looking more like his usual self at Southampton.

 

[chesterbells]

He must be fatigued, he was playing at an extremely high level for the first 3 months of the season.

That’s all true; his drop off is clear isn’t it? He still does some great work, but he was superlative at the start of the season

Then blues should have learnt it's never over till it's over

Nothing is "over" on Jan 3rd, so even if the unthinkable happens, it can be pulled back still, though the momentum would clearly all be in the wrong direction.

Not one of those players would get in this team. They all play for fucking Liverpool. Not a chance they pull on a blue shirt on my watch.

VVD, Robertson and Salah would get in our team for me. I rate Mane as well but I’d rather have Sane.

I’m actually looking forward to them losing their unbeaten record as much as the points difference it’ll make in the tilte race.

Our one area of concern when comparing the two line ups, based on current form, has to be at full back. Everywhere else, we are as strong as them if not stronger, imho

Correct me if I am wrong but we have not won a game in which we were losing at half-time since 1995 (league only).

We are overdue then ..

Hopefully it will not be a repeat of the 2016 Leicester home game. Too similar of a situation to my liking.

Beat West Ham at home last season 2-1 after being 1 down at HT

Vincent Kompany on KDB: "I really don't know what physical state he is in. He seems to be alright but in a way I feel this season still has so much to offer. If I had to decide myself, what I would prefer is for Kevin to be fit for the rest of the season." [Sky Sports]

You make no sense

I think no matter how they line up, they will have highlighted LB, as the position to exploit for their way in. That's the one position we've never had a settled player in all season, so we should expect nothing less.

It's a bit of shame we've only had that once since they've become relevant and that was the game we smashed them 5-0 in.

 

[Proy]

That makes zero sense, that could easily be one of their current players if they choose to leave. There’s no reason to discredit their players due to the irritating and annoying fans.

I can think of a million fucking reasons.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

I like the idea of starting both tbh, leave one on Lovren.

Great comment. Lovren is a legend in his own mind, but in truth is always an accident waiting to happen. We need to test him and wait for the rash challenges.

Why are people not getting it?

With a passion I fucking hate Liverpool. We are going into our biggest game of the season which just happens to be against them.

The night before it I’m not going to sit here talking about which of their players will get in our fucking team.

Half and half wearing scalf brigade can discuss away but not one of those red cnuts gets a sniff in our team. Not one.

The 5 - 0 has been airbrushed from history. Don't worry, all the heavy losses we suffered many years ago after having a man sent off no longer count..........

Yep their excuse is: "It was only because Mané was sent off la... not like we were already losing 1-0 and looking suspect as fuck at the back or anything"

 

[HarrytheBlue]

I'll be there, but for those at home will Sky be showing the goals from last season's corresponding fixture ? Neither do I............

 

[citizenyank76]

Reading from some other PL fan forums about having to put up with Liverpool fans at work. Wow, I don't know what to say. I actually feel sorry for them. We better win tomorrow or they literally might go over the deep end.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Danilo

Fernandinho
D Silva
KDB

Sterling
Aguero
Sane

No time for getting sentimental in a game of this magnitude, Vinny back on the bench for me. Stones and Laporte fuckin bossed these ****s in October.
Danilo to not leave our own half, needs to be so sharp against Salah.
KDB has to start for me, match fit or not, he won us games single handidly last year and we need him to do the same tomorrow.
Sterling and Sane - no way Mahrez should start, fuck that.

Come on City let’s give these ****s a pasting and watch them wobble!! We know they don’t like pressure.

Think about Liverpool's pace. One of the most enduring memories of the League Cup final last year was Vinnie and the ultra quick Aubameyang in a leg race - Vinnie cruises past him. Despite the injuries there's still no quicker centre back than Vinnie - to say nothing of all his other qualities.
