Liverpool FC the Jury: It is good versus evil at Wembley - but if Reds can replicate Etihad there's just one winner
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......
Beyond belief. Pin it on the dressing room wall......
