Liverpool V City pre-match thread.

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

I think we only start resting the big names when the league becomes virtually impossible to focus on the CL, until then the likes of Kompany, Toure, Silva and Aguero will want to play every game. Also when De Bruyne and Nasri come back in a few weeks we will be able to rotate more anyway. We have been waiting all season to get the big 4 on the pitch together and now everyone wants to rest them, play them while they're fit.

Martin Atkinson...

My confidence has now gone down by 50%, I still haven't forgotten the Merseyside derby he was in charge of last season when the Dippers were awarded everything they claimed for........we are fucked!

Martin Atkinson...

Maybe just maybe, that's why he's been given the game again ;-)

I'd leave Stirling out and put Kolarov in his place..Clichy left back..you get the gist.

Except Bringing in Kolarov weakens the team immensely.

We all said that about Willy.

No chance should Kolarov be put into this game, his defensive awareness is not good enough.

Kolorov playing in front of Clichy I mean.

I know and to play on the wing in this kind of game you need defensive awareness and he doesn't have it, Sterling does. If Kolarov plays left wing then Clyne will have a field day.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Not a bad thing as we'll need more energy in the middle on Wednesday, the two Ferns alongside each other and Navas and Sterling either side of Silva would do me.

Absolutely this.
