Liverpool (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[Doctor Jimmy and Mr Jim]

Move Torres up top for Gabby , Phil on the left and you’ve cracked it.

Foden terrifies their fullbacks.

Yeah that isn't a bad call and one I wouldn't disagree with. I thought long and hard about Foden as I love the kid, he's such a special talent. But he's looked a bit off colour the last couple of games (rumoured illness?) and Torres seems high on confidence at the minute, so gave Torres the nod for the wide role. A small cameo last night maybe but Gabby just looks in the mood. Guess we'll see.

Subs:
Steffen
Stones
Zinchenko
Cancelo
Foden
Bernardo
Mahrez

Gundogan OR Rodri for me. Add Bernie in central midfield instead and I think it’s a winning team.

I do wonder if Aguero will make the beach with him swapping with Jesus at half time.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

I would take a draw.

We have to take our chances so I would pick a front 3 with goals in them and energy in midfield. Would pick Silva as he seems to hate scousers as much as us. I would play Rodri withdrawn and play a bit deeper than usual and give Cancelo the nod over Ake as I think being right footed against salah could be an advantage.

Ederson
Dias Rodri Laporte
Walker KDB Bernardo Cancelo
Sterling Jesus Torres

As far as Pep is concerned I would imagine the definate starters are ederson, Dias,Laporte,Walker,KDB,Sterling the rest fuck knows. Expect to see Rodri and gundogan in midfield

Bernardos first name on the teamsheet against the dippers

I’ll never forget that game he had against them, like a man possessed. One of the best, most driven performances I’ve ever seen in a blue shirt, and in a big game at that.

 

[chesterbells]

I would take a draw.

I would too, if it was away, but not at home.
Memories of our last home game against them still fresh in my mind; I’m hoping and expecting a decent win for this.

 

[Paul1970]

Gonna be a very tight game were chances need to be converted because I can guarantee that they will take there chances. Our defence is now tight but we are missing way too many chances which will cost us in big games . Jesus needs to start and kdb needs to bring his A game if we are to win . Whoever finishes above Liverpool wins the title this season .

 

[Kokonut1307]

I would take a draw.

Anfield I would agree but at the Etihad we have to win. With Jesus perhaps fit we should be contesting this for a win and hope our wingers perform.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I would take a draw.

Absolutely no reason to think like that whatsoever. We are a better team than them, we are playing better than them, they finally have key injuries and they’ve ridden their luck against us terribly in recent years.

A result isn’t a given of course because anything can happen in these games. A bad decision, rotten luck, injuries, poor finishing can give an unfair score line. It’s happened at anfield for years. But I’ll be massively disappointed not to win and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we give them a bit of a hammering.
