Re: i hope he plays yaya behind tevez.

I would play Kolarov and Dzeko just like we did in the CC.

Where we got destroyed but somehow got a draw.

gonna be interesting for Liverpool if they close sahin deal as apparently he would definitely start if its closed before the weekend would love to see how he does against us

 

[Damanino]

They are resting most of their better players tonight. They wont be tired againt us.
We rarely get a good result at Anfield in the league.

Last year it was a 1-1 draw with a stupid fluke goal by Lescott and a great performance by Hart we could cocede more without him.

2002/2003 when we last won at Anfield or some time around then? Their hideous display against West Brom will be irrelevant, they will raise their game as they always do at Anfield against us, United, and other rival clubs. They tend to dominate us a lot there even when they have less talented players so wouldn't be over surprised if Mancini used the 3-5-2 with a focus on countering. With Liverpool still trying to adjust to Rodgers' brand of football, this could be our best chance to get 3pts from there for a long time even if they raise their game.

Got a draw written all over it for me. 1-1.

 

[alextheswede]

this match is calling out for a 3-5-2 i reckon;

--------------------Hart--------------------
-----Zabaleta------Kompany------Lescott------
-Milner-------------------------------Kolarov-
------------------De Jong--------------------
------------Nasri---------Yaya---------------
-------------------Tevez---------------------
------------------Balotelli--------------------

Same team we played vs Chelsea with Balo in for Kun...3-2 to us, because, well, it always is lately.

 

[Cheadle Blue]

For the first time in years, im really not worried about this game, and think we will win.

Liverpool are under pressure, the new manager is under pressure to achieve things QUICKLY.

They are trying to implement a new style of play, that will suit us - whereas in the past its been a quick agressive style of football, which gets the dipper fans up for it

If we get an early goal, i can see us winning by 2 or 3

They should have used last nights game as a confidence builder, rather than scraping though with an own goal

Agger missing will also be a big disruption for them

 

[SWPISHOME]

Am actually very confident going into this game, Not usually confident when we go to Anfield, But I reckon there here for the taken, Liverpool will take time to adapt under Rodgers new tactics so I guess were getting them at a good time early in the season.

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, De Jong, Toure Yaya, Nasri, Silva, Tevez, Balotelli.

 

[MCFC BOB]

I'm not really sure how I feel about this game.

One the one hand, Liverpool always raise their game at home against us. On the other hand, they're trying to find the balance in their own team to suit Rodgers' style and it could work against them.

Hm.

1-1.
