Manchester City vs Liverpool pre-match thread

[SWP's back]

Man for man we're the better team and on paper we should win. But unfortunately the have a far better manager and I'm sure that's were the game will be won

What total bollocks.

They are where they are as Suarez has carried them this season.

....which constitutes 17 out of 20 clubs.

I don't think he's a better manager, because the role involves so much more than just getting your team playing well (obviously).

But you have to admit, he did a great job with Swansea and with better players at his disposal at Liverpool, he does have them playing good football.

Unfortunately, he is such a total wanker as an individual, with his stance on the racism and the biting saga and total failure to condemn the various assaults, dives and general cheating performed by the scum nouveaux, every week. He has single-handedly elevated them to my most hated team.

I think we will beat them on Sunday, and wipe the smile off their smug faces and I cannot wait.

They have a very gobby manager . We are going to play our normal attacking game according to Pelli and rightly so. If he picks the correct team on the day and we ride out the emotional tributes etc. Their anthem being sung by every scouser and his dog and their sprinting attacks of the first 10 minutes , then we will come into the game. Our lads love the big games and apart from Bayern at home we rise to the occasion. They do like to dive though so we have to watch them, Sturridge, Suarez, and Stirling love fling themselves on the ground in front of their baying hoardes. Anyone know who the ref is on the day?

Bizarre.

What on earth makes you think Pellegrini will move Silva from the middle behind the striker - where he has been utterly utterly brilliant, out to the left where he has been less effective - for the most important game of the entire season? It's not happening.

Likewise, do you think he will start Milner - a player he clearly doesn't rate much - instead of Navas? No chance. And Yaya starting as a false 9? Nope, no way. And Aguero - our best striker and probably one of the top 5 players in the world, on the bench? Er, no. Kolarov isn't starting either.

Hopefully they'll have the same lack of success as Yaya

If we play to our potential n every city player puts his all on the pitch we will win they will throw all at us first 20 mins we need to press hard n fast off the ball unlike we did against southampton. They start from the back so pressure them get the ball move n pass quickly simple balls n we will create chances n win the game. Time to put our stamp on the league n remind them all citys the team to be fearfull of<br /><br />-- Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:58 am --<br /><br />If we play to our potential n every city player puts his all on the pitch we will win they will throw all at us first 20 mins we need to press hard n fast off the ball unlike we did against southampton.

Yeah well...... Nice one Cibaman, blue tinted specs comes to mind.

How many penalties have they had this season I wonder? 3 at the swamp (about as many as Baconface allowed in 20 years) and 2 again yesterday.

I think the man in black is going to play a huge part in how the game pans out, unfortunately.
