Liverpool (H) | Pre-Match Thread

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

Same here. But Pep has an awful lot of trust in Gundogan. And he's been managing longer than I have.

I am hopeful Klopp has underestimated our defence with that line-up. Either that or he's so lacking in confidence he's decided to go balls to the wall.

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.

What was the line up when we last played them?

That front "4" of theirs worries me to shit ... especially that diving twat !!

You're going to have to narrow that down for us a bit.

“That diving twat” doesn’t really narrow it down much

 

[ancoats]

pretty much the line up we all had in mind

city have to be boss today and control the game from the back. no silly stuff and even kick it long to change it up
look as much we all hate liverpool we have to respect them and we know there game and we can beat them

BUT its that little old chestnut of letting the officials control the game and we lose the plot ?
we must take our chances today and take the officials out of the game. even VAR will be watching every little thing city do. we know they will flag up anything to get a result for liverpool

tight game and lets hope city put on a show because if we click nobody can beat us not even the officials and VAR

Which one

 

[cookster]

Ake for Cancelo and Bernie for Gundo and I would have been happier. Just hope whoever plays in front of Cancelo (prob Raz) works hard to cover the left hand side.

Looks like Klopp has gone for broke, be interesting to see how it plays out, especially if they don't have much ball.

 

[mccity]

So Mahrez plays selfishly and keeps getting picked, and the first time he makes an effort to be more selfless he's canned the very next game. I reckon there's way more to it but it does seem ironic.

Fuckin hell the dippers gone for 4 up front
