Am I the only City supporter in a foul mood and downright unpleasant thanks to the tension surrounding this coming week? My family will be glad when it's all over, one way or the other.

I'm not sure why you are really bothered..
You said that we would be 4 points behind the dippers after the game.
Thank fuck the players won't be feeling the same way.

No - you're not alone.

No reason to start Jesus whatsoever, offers nothing wherever he plays

We will lose if we don't start Jesus and Foden.
He covers their left back when Robertson have drifts wide to receive those diagonal balls from TAA.
Very disciplined position all things taken into consideration.

Right, having been a member of Bluemoon since 2009 (only 12 months after becoming a City fan) I've come to know that there's no better way of gaining the universal approval of one's peers than by writing a song. And, frankly, I'm always disappointed by the lack of artistic integrity when the "F" word is used to make lines scan. It also shows a lack of inclusivity since it embarrasses parents of young children.

So, here's my effort written especially for this game. Altogether, now...oh...

Jurgen Klopp's a German (the best songs are factual)
He has a pornstar's teeth (again, factual, personal and relevant)
BT kiss his arsehole (sorry kids)
Sky grovel at his feet (pointed media criticism)
He moans like Arsene Wenger (dig at the old hypocrite)
His players dive and cheat (strictly factual)
and even if we lose today (a remote possibility)
We'll sing this song next week (casual segue into the semi)

It's just their forward line that worries me they're so clinical

We've had Kloppos number at our place for some time now. I expect that trend to continue.
They'll come out of the blocks fast but we all know the longer the game goes on, the stronger we become and the weaker they get.

I agree with that. Having said that, we often have a silly careless mistake or misplaced pass in us which weaker sides fail to capitalise upon. We will have to be SUPER disciplined and avoid all sloppiness. Walker for example is liable to give the ball away sometimes in dangerous areas. There was a period in the Burnley game when the normally reliable Rodri did so 3 times in quick succession. Any of that and we'll be 2 or 3 goals down before we know it.

I am still sticking to my view that I'll be very pleased - no, "quite contented" - with 1 point and a 1 point lead being maintained. I think we can beat them on the run-in if we are still ahead after Sunday.

You know that feeling about half an hour before kick off? I’ve got that NOW.

I wonder if it plateaus out? If it doesn’t I think I could be in A&E by kick off.

I keep telling myself that if Liverpool win, and deserve it, then so be it…perhaps they might be the only team that is slightly better than us in World football but they still have a slightly harder run in and would only be 2 points ahead. Then I picture them on our pitch in my mind and think we have to smash them. Not beat them, smash them.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Here’s a thought…..imagine cheering on the rags when they go to Anfield.

Didn’t see their game against Watford but as far as I know they scored one, got a very late penalty and could have conceded a few. That was Watford, at home, this is us, away. Take your point but they need to worry the fuck about us
