Manchester City vs Liverpool Pre Match Thread.

[TGR]

For the past couple of seasons I have been very nervous about these guys coming to the Etihad.
Not this season.
3-1 to the Champions.

We are playing at home, we are the champions and we will win 2-0.

Agree, we are a better team than they are.

Only Sterling to really be bothered about.

I doubt this game will be Mangala's debut, he has only been training for a week so far and having his debut against Liverpool is probably not the wisest idea.

Hart

Zabaletta* Kompany Demichelis Clichy*

Y. Toure Fernando

Milner* Silva* Nasri

Jovetic*

*Zaba over and above Sagna for obvious reasons plus he was on the bench last match while sagna wasn't
*Clichy instead of Kolarov because of pace as well as what he offers defensively
*Milner will keep an extra eye on that lil terrorist from Jamaica. You'd recall that this strategy helped keep Evertoon's Baines in check last season. Fern needs some support in doing the dirty job...doesn't he?
*I believe Silva is at his rampaging best when played right behind the striker and allowed a freer role. Yaya T doesn't do too well further upfield. He's not a messi or james that'd beat two or three in the final third before laying a killer pass but always tries to initiate his moves (including powerful runs) from the center
*Jojo gets my nod because we need a player that would fight dirty and mot seem nowhere for spells
