Liverpool (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[blue b4 the moon]

Doesn’t bode well for Mahrez.

Not with Garcia having his spot.

 

[come-on-barney]

Not even making the bench though?!

I think he’s on his is way out, he’s just not a team player.

 

[brummie blue]

Team as expected, not much on the bench for us.

Liverpool have gone all out, anyone would think they were playing to a full Kop, not an empty stadium. Klopp hoping to out score us as he has a suspect defence.

We keep it tight, no stupid moments allowing the divers to con the ref and we take our chances we'll do them.

 

[west didsblue]

Got 10/11 with my team prediction and it’s Pep that got the eleventh wrong. I’ll be back to eat humble pie if Gundo scores the winning goal.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Does Pep honestly think the Gundogan Rodri combo makes us better defensively?. Because it certainly doesn't, infact you could argue it always seems to make us worse, not happy with this again but time will tell I guess. Come on City.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

When do you reckon he’ll make the first sub? I’m going 73rd minute

 

[mccity]

I assume we're going to play a lot of keep ball near the very back today, waiting to goad Liverpool into a press.

In which case, you can see why he's gone for Rodri and Gundogan. As they're our best bet at doing that tactic and succeeding. You'd think anyway.

 

[vmsuhail]

Kloop has arrived with one thing in mind. OUTSCORE

Have to appreciate him for not leaving out the in-form player.

 

[stonerblue]

Kev's gonna rip them to shreds

 

[kaz7]

4 fowards = 4 more to dive

Nah. A bit too early that.

 

[PrezIke]

Well those desperate to see a right footed right winger will get their wish today.

Cancelo on the left is a bit worrying regarding their counter attack.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mahrez is being punished for even responding on Twitter to the Sam Lee post/article.

 

[PaleBlue]

Not with Garcia having his spot.

Garcia should be in the reserves, not on the bench, would rather have Stones as a backup, just get rid of Garcia, doesn't want to be here.

Me too mate

 

[Stoned Rose]

No Mahrez.

No Mendy.

It's on.

 

[Manc in London]

They are playing two holding midfielders and are set up to play on the counter, I think.

That's my view too.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

No point in saving legs no proper game for ages after this (fuck the international ones) if we're taking the piss by then hopefully I'd leave the 11 out all game.

 

[Gray]

If we match their intensity until they tire, then we have more class. I am not overly confident though.

 

[yankblue]

Happy enough with that. Would probably have picked Bernardo over Gundo myself, but looking at Liverpools lineup I think Pep made the right call

 

[Akpowell]

I had us down to draw but having seen the dippers team ( forward line) I think we might come unstuck
