[gordondaviesmoustache]

For all you giving it im so nervous I need help oh my god etc.
Get down the local hospital pronto and get that spine implant.
FFS it's days like these that we have waited years for. I Can't wait
for KO. Been watching all sorts of football all weekend, but have known
deep down that it's been nothing like todays will be.

I'm totally with you mate. I love big games like this and being part of the title race. Love it.

Dont go to bed then!!

I won't now

Although we need to keep it tight early doors, I reckon it's going to be one of those games where it doesn't go to plan. We'll concede early and then have to go after them and the game will become end to end and be stretched all over the place. It's then just going to be a shootout and we have to hope our players have their finishing boots on, and theirs don't.

Impossible to predict the outcome, imo.

Liverpool will be quite happy to defend deep and do us on the counter attack if they get an early goal.

Not at home they won't. I reckon it could end up being their undoing, they won't be able to help themselves in continuing to pour forward.

It's what they did against Arsenal and Everton.

Rodgers deceives people, he likes us to think that he's an attacking manager, which he isn't , he is a balanced manager, he wants to attack and defend. I was watching the West Ham game the other day and in the final minutes Rodgers took off a midfielder (or striker) for a defender..they went with 3 defenders at the back in an attempt to hold onto their lead.

I have a feeeling the pressure will be too much for their younger/inexperianced players - 1-3. The pressure is on them to win as a draw will be a good for us with our remaining games. They have Chelsea to play who I think will at least get a draw.

No thats not true. Pressure is on City I am afraid - no-one expects Liverpool to win the league really.

City have been favourites all season and spent a huge amount on new players - pressure all on your boys today but I think you'll come through it!

No one expects a Liverpool to win the league? Been on RAWK this week?

Although Brendan Rodgers is a good manager, he is a bit of an arsehole. I reckon he'll be widely hated after a few years at Liverpool.

I doubt the players think about the cost, so I doubt that makes any difference to the pressure they feel.

Liverpool v West Ham the Liverpool players looked very nervous when they hadn't scored after a decent period of the game.

Not really. Fernandinho cost as much as Suarez and Sturridge put together didn't he?

You can't compare your spending to Liverpool's, no way.

Spending huge amounts didnt help you lot did it..nearly £70 mill on Mata and A&E.

Its not how much youve spent,its what you do with the talent youve bought.

Fernandinho is more valuable , that's why.

But there's no denying that Liverpool spent a HUGE amount of money since 1990 . They've yet to lift the premier league trophy though.

Why has every debate always got to go back to Man Utd? Can't you simply forget about is just for 1 day? We spent a load of money on a shit midfielder and a genius who Moyes doesn't know how to use because he won't drop both the Fat Scouser and RVP. But that's for another thread.

And we were one of the favourites until everyone saw how Moyes managed us and we quickly dissapeared into the wilderness. We just have our memories at the moment but will come good again when Moyes fucks off.<br /><br />-- Sun Apr 13, 2014 11:04 am --<br /><br />

Fernandinho more valuable than Luis Suarez? Riiiiiiight.

Just pointing out to your sly dig you moron...wake up ffs.

Why are you on here??

 

[Batman]

Everyone is saying the pressure is on city, I would argue there is just as much pressure on the scousers. For me, this a fluke season for them, they won't be competing for titles in the next five years. If they don't achieve it this year, the chance won't come again for the forseeable and Gerrard wont get his medal, therefore there is plenty of pressure on them

No pressure on Liverpool? Have you not heard the cries of "We're gonna' win the league" from the masses of Liverpool fans?

Although Brendan Rodgers is a good manager, he is a bit of an arsehole. I reckon he'll be widely hated after a few years at Liverpool.

If he's hated in a few years, it means he's been successful.

I am wide awake and making perfectly valid points. You WERE and ARE favourites to win the league, Liverpool were simply just going for Top 4 and most didn't even think they were going to make that!

City have spent an absolute fucktonne of cash on players over the last 3 or 4 years, Liverpool haven't spent nearly as much and have a far lesser squad on paper. THIS IS WHY the pressure is on City - it's been yours to lose all season, not Liverpool's. I can't stand the Bin Dippers and want you lot to win the title but don't make stuff up.
