Liverpool v City Pre match Discussion Thread

[Ethan23]

With news of nastasic possibly back for liverpool, could we not try 3-5-2? I know it has been too succesful in the past but a starting 11 of

..............................................Hart..........................................

............demichiles............kompany..........nastastic.............

Milner...........................................................................kolorov

..........................Fernandinho...............yaya............................

Navas..............,..................silva............................nasri............

...........................................Beast................................................







On current form and at home i could see this really working out!?

Thats 12 players you've got written there.

Ha i thought it was too good to be true! Take navas off and have nasri and silva come inside then!

We should play 4-5-1 with beast leading the line, and Milner or boyata as rb,

This is correct but we al know Pellegrini will play 2 up front.

Re: Liverpool v us

Yeah... if that was their real game! At 3-0 they clearly took their foot off the pedal.... probably the right thing to do at this time of the year.

when ur top of the table and 3-0 up and coasting you do not take your foot off the pedal..

go for the kill..Suarez was on for another hattrick,and with City coming up they would have wanted a boost going into our game..


Dippers didnt take their foot off the pedall, cardiff made two changes that made them the better side...

You do when you have fixtures against the two teams closest to you coming up in the space of three days. It has happened a few times this season - we absolutely demolish a side in the first half and then coast for the second. Conserve energy, keep legs fresh and don't over exert yourself.

oh really...

They actually do, so damn annoying. All I've had this week is scousers telling me how Liverpool are now a different side and will take us apart on the counter. I really hope we stuff them good and proper.

Occasionally looked on the forum for a while so thought I'd finally join.

I think the upcoming game will be closely observed by all involved in the Premier League and for a very good reason - 1st vs 2nd ranked goal scorers in the league. If this game was being played at Anfield then I'd be quite confident due to the amount of goals you have conceded away compared to at home and because of our solid home form (putting aside the Southampton defeat, we have won every home game). However, our away form recently is very poor to say the least with miserable losses against Arsenal and Hull, draws against Everton (should have had the game wrapped up) and Newcastle (against 10 men for 50 minutes) and a win against Spurs.

This game could be won and lost in the centre of midfield, especially with Yaya Toure. People said we'd get battered in midfield against Spurs because of their power and strength but we were quick to close down, we had 2-3 men around every single one of their centre mids at all times and this ultimately paid off. Yaya is of course a different kettle of fish - more like a shark - but the same principle applies. If we use the same tactics against the likes of Yaya and Fernandinho then I think that would make this game a lot closer than some imagine. You have no reason to believe this game will be close due to your home form against teams of all calibres so far this season but I'm hoping Liverpool are starting to turn a corner away from home.

If you can stop the service from defence and midfield into Suarez then you will win. If our midfielders decide not to support Suarez then you will win. But, if you leave spaces around your defence that can be exploited then I can assure you, they will be exploited to the hilt just like ours will.

Win or lose this game will be entertaining and there is no shame losing away to the league favourites as long as our performance is up to scratch. My prediction: 2-1.

Welcome. Good first post to boot.

Their Right back..?

And Sturridge?

In place of who?

Dzeko.

Up to us now. Good result for us at the library Mk II tonight. Get the win on boxing day and we could go top,depending on how the Arse do at West Ham. Go for it lads!
