Manchester City vs Liverpool pre-match thread

I hope Skrtl gets sent off for persistent shirt pulling at set pieces.

Skrtl could pull out a machine gun at set pieces and he wouldnt get punished for it.

I think he probably would.

He would certainly have got away with it in the 70's or 80's.

he might not get sent off but would get a visit from plod about carry a machine gun in a condemned area

Will be a very hard game, Liverpool are in top form. We have to perform better than against Arsenal and if we are at our best we WILL win this one. Come on City!

Hart
Zabaleta Kompany Demichelis Kolarov
Yaya Fernandinho
Milner Silva Nasri
Aguero/Jovetic

Pantilimon, Richards, Lescott, Garcia, Navas, Jovetic/Aguero, Negredo

I'm gonna go 2-3

Suarez, Henderson
Yaya, Milner, Kompany

Same 11 against Soton.

Hope we get a strong ref, don't want to lose the game to a soft penalty which Liverpool seem to get a lot.

lol..now that was funny

I'd be inclined to pair Garcia and Fernandinho together allowing Yaya up top behind the striker. We really need him to bring his A game against this lot and quite clearly his favoured position this year.

A win would be magnificent but a draw wouldn't be the end of the world either.

I fear we'll see a new low, liverpool players mobbing the ref and throwing themselves to the floor whilst screaming like little girls.

Biggest cheats in the league in my book.

Re: 8 days to prepare for Liverpool

Navas over Nasri for me.

Navas will really get at Flannagan and offers more going backwards. Nasri can come on and prove a point if we need a goal.

Garcia Fernandinho
Navas Toure Silva
Dzeko

+1, and Nasri and Agüero as super subs feeling strangely confident

I hope our travelling support would be as noisy if not noisier throughout the game as in the recent derby. that was very well executed and it did push the team on.

And Joe should prepare for a gerrard penalty. clockwork and all that,
