Liverpool (H) - Sat 1st April, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Fucking massive game this, anything less than a win and i think that's curtains for the league.

Agreed especially as the Arse have Leeds at home that weekend

It seems a bit weird we have to worry about an experienced senior player, supposedly with a steady partner not going off the rails.

Just as well Jack will be occupied might not be a good idea if they both had a week off together.

Take the cunts to the cleaners City. No fucking about.

Haaland double hat trick

If he's on for one and Pep takes him off he will get fucking pelters

The Liverpool - City - Arsenal fixtures may be determinant this year, coming when they do.

That said there ALWAYS seems to be a shock result or two towards the end of the season (Utd 4 - 4 Everton, Palace 3 - 3 Liverpool), in which the expected winner doesn’t get 3 points.

Beat Liverpool & Arsenal at home, and have Arsenal lose AWAY at both Liverpool and the Etihad, and winning the title is in our hands.

Sadly, I just don’t see City taking full points to the end of the season, so we will need Arsenal to drop points elsewhere, too.

In addition, I notice they have quietly closed the GD gap, too, so that “tiebreaker” is no longer a given, either!

May you live in interesting times!

Totally agree
But it's behind him now and his performance since was top draw.
So onwards and upwards I think we will school LiVARpool 3-0 CTID

The Liverpool that's been getting dominated away from home by bang average sides won't be the one that turns up here. They cannot stand the fact we have stopped them winning countless trophies and are up for the game against us more than any other team on the planet in the last few years.

12.30 pm kick off after an international break really ruins our building momentum, hopefully we get everyone back safe first and foremost and then we give these a thumping. Anything other than a win and we lose the title.

See that Nunez has pulled out of international duty and Rashford also. All of pur boys are going, it seems.

But for woeful finishing we should have been 5 up at HT in the carabao game tbf, I hope for a similar performance but actually take a few sitters this time

If we’re 5 goals to the good and Pep’s not taking our best players off on the hour mark, to protect them for the PL run-in and the sharp end of the CL & FAC, then he’ll be getting pelters from me because I support Manchester City and therefore think it more important for my club to be in with their very best chance to win honours than for an individual player to polish his personal statistics.

C’mon Bluemanc, just imagine the howls of derision if we were 5 up with 30 minutes left to play and Pep left Haaland on the field, only for Haaland to suffer a needless and avoidable season ending injury that then scuppered our chances in all competitions? IMO it doesn’t bear thinking about.

The way I see it is that only Haaland supporters (as opposed to City supporters) are likely to think otherwise.

PS. But if it’s 5-4 or 5-5 then yep, leave him on Pep ;-)

Sometimes it would be to our advantage if our boys were more selfish cunts. But if course we love them because they're not.
