Match Thread; City v Liverpool

Re: Liverpool's pre-match thread

The dippers seem to be under estimating their team quite a bit. FRom what I have seen of them they look rejuvinated but apparently they were terrible in the West Brom game. But this game will not be easy , we have to cope with the aerial ability of Caroll and the pure skill of Suarez. Mind you they have a lot more to worry about than they do. We could worry about maybe 3 of theirs when they would have to worry about half our team. If we set us reasonably well maybe go for three in the middle possibly with milner slotting in yet keep the width we will succeed. They have no full backs and therefore very little width. They will probably put carragher and wilson at full back which is not their natural position. If you put AJ up against Carragher he will cause him all sorts of problems and I would put money on us getting a penalty. If we go 4-4-2 we will score goals but maybe leave ourselves a bit exposed on the counter. If we played 4-3-3 I would struggle to see who Bobby would leave out so I expect a 4-4-2 and against the likes of Kyriagkos we should get some joy. Think we will get a narrow win or we will batter them by 3. Mind you Liverpool like the challenge of big teams , they have beaten the rags and chelsea at home this year but we should have enough firepower to do em.

I see Bert has said he wants to rest players so they are fresh for semiAgainst Liverpool which IMO is more important because would rather us finish fourth than any cup (just).

Hart
Zab
Lescott
Kompany
Kolorov

NDJ
Barry
Milner

Silva
Tevez
Dzeko

where did he say this ?
 
I have 100% confidence in starting Dzeko in this game. Tevez behind him and then pack the midfield. I think away from home he's ideal to play as the top striker with Tevez and Silva pulling the strings behind him. We can bring on Balotelli and AJ as impact players if we need the goals and pace!

----------------Hart
Boyata--Kompany--Lescott--Kolarov
----------Yaya-------De Jong
---Milner-----Tevez--------Silva
----------------Dzeko
 
hate to sound arrogant, but I'd like to see us smash em and put 3 past them like we did last time. passed the ball through them like no other.

I guess he's referring to this:
