Genuinely think City’s best option is to come and attack us at Anfield. I know it hasn’t worked in the past, and we love a counter attack but last seasons game was so cagey, and yes City had the better chances and missed a penalty but I really think you should come and go for it against us. Salzburg had us at sixes and sevens penning us in. The worst thing they did was equalise to make it 3-3. Almost like they didn’t know what to do next. MOTD focuses on how City’s defence wobbles when under pressure but ours is the same, when teams really push us back, which is rare. Trent, I love him, but is a liability at times defensively, and Lovren is a present from us to anyone who plays against him.
I’d take the 0-0 now 100%. But at the same time would like to see a good game of football, rather than the usual Anfield set up of 10 men behind the ball waiting for a Corner most teams play. Fact Arsenal and Tottenham now turn up and set up like Burnley is just depressing. Hoping for a good game.
After this match the 6 teams both teams haven’t played is very different. City still with the Rags, Chelsea, Leicester and Arsenal. Think even the most blinkered out there would admit that run looks favourable for us. West Ham away obviously moved now. I didn’t actually realise after you lot we’ve already played the so called “Big 6”.
