My fear is that we'll go in woefully under prepared as we did in the league game. My hope is that Pellegrini will have actually learned a lesson and set us up accordingly.

Team selection and first 10 mins will tell us all we need to know. Fucking come on City.

Given that he's already picked Caballero over Hart, I wouldn't hold your breath mate. What I fear most is that he'll do what he did after the Sevilla away game, when he went with the same set up at Villa, even though the two opponents were chalk and cheese in terms of talent and tactics. Fernandinho down the right hand side might not be a bad idea in itself, given the way Coutinho loves to cut inside, but it would mean Ya Ya and Fernando as a two in the middle. Be afraid......

Why are they leaving from Stockport?

Because they're city fans?
 
I think Vinny back in the team has galvanised the squad, his partnership with Otomendi will have everybody singing from the same hymn sheet hopefully.
We know Liverpool will be up for this, they have been lucky with results against us of late, so it's time they were on the end of a spanking for once.
Liverpool were woeful in Europa midweek, I hope Pellers was watching and doing his homework

Liverpool FC the Jury: It is good versus evil at Wembley - but if Reds can replicate Etihad there's just one winner

Team-Head-to-head.jpg


It is a massive Capital One Cup final on Sunday at Wembley, Liverpool attempt to win the League Cup for a record ninth time against the richest club in Europe - Manchester City. I believe the only way that LFC will not win on Sunday will be if their attitude and commitment is not 100%.

It is already a foregone conclusion that Liverpool will win the off-field battle with the LFC support famous for the their fans and banners. It is a match for the football purists to delight over as the traditional working class club Liverpool, with a world famous support and their history and tradition built on footballing success, face City.

City is a club artificially built with vast sums of money from Middle East businessmen, which has attracted footballing mercenaries from all parts of the world to a club that was unheard of outside of this country. Basically it is a clash of all that is good in football against all that is bad, a David versus Goliath scenario with the vast worldwide footballing public favouring and supporting the underdog.

For inspiration at Wembley the Liverpool players only need to think back three months to November 21 and the 4-1 pulverisation of City on their own turf at the Etihad. Make no mistake Liverpool are not playing a Barcelona clone or even a top European club like Bayern Munich, but a club that has struggled all season to maintain their position in the top four of the Premier League despite spending untold millions, a club that has lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, and has only won five away matches all season in the Premier League.

There is absolutely no reason for Liverpool to have an inferiority complex going in to this match. The wheels have certainly fallen off the Manchester City bandwagon since Pelligrini announced his departure at the end of the season......
