Gameplan. Get to HT at 0-0, tiring these fuckers out. Then bring on Bernado and/or Sane and run at them. 3-1 for me.

[PeterParker]

I don't get why people are saying Yaya should play today. Don't get me wrong, I love Yaya and he's been immense for us.

But Liverpool play a fast pressing game and move the ball very fast on the counter. Yaya simply doesn't have the legs for that anymore.

What am I missing?

For me is simple. We are going to conceide.
Yaya should be here to help us score one more than the scouse and I think he could be huge up front today.

[PaulieIrish]

With all the attacking talent in the team, PP, it's sad if we need to rely on an aging Yaya for goals.

Two years ago, sure. He was scoring for fun and creating loads. But last year wasn't great...

[Nigels Tackle]

Yaya's not even on the bench. Not fit? Pep showing respect for Livrrpool's pace with Danilo and Fernandinho playing.

That's okay, we have the gamechanger on the bench in Delph.

he's just there to pull funny faces
you'll see them when the club posts the highlights on facebook later on

[Mase]

Pep is really out on Sane huh? Figured he'd be nailed on to start with no Sterlinhg and no international matches during the break

He's constantly given the ball away in the last few games. We can't do that against teams like Liverpool as they'll punish us. He's right not to start him imo until Sanè stops doing his best impression of Adam Johnson and giving the ball away on the halfway line.

Can we finish a game without being cheated by the referee!!
11 men after 90 minutes maybe!

[Nigels Tackle]

fuck off tyler

(getting it in early)

[sheblue]

So far on sky it's all about how great Liverpool are.
The sun shines out of klopps hole etc etc..

COME ON CITY

[iwasthere2012]

C'mon City.

[Mase]

Danilo or Walker in the back three?

[PeterParker]

I am the spanish stream.

Watched it there our first two away league games. Won.

Simple decision for me

[Mase]

Neville already re-writing history. Ferret faced prick.

[PeterParker]

Danilo looks like he is playing central. Shit

[Mase]

"We're only a minute in to the game, but..."

You don't even need to know what's next, you just know it's bullshit.

[phips]

so is Walker RCB?

[Mase]

KDB needs to sort out his basic passing. How someone can ping a fantastic ball but not pick out a blue shirt from one yard is amazing.

[Mase]

so is Walker RCB?

Looked to me when he was fouled then for the free kick he's playing RWB

[blues2win]

Danilo playing right Centre Back. Didn't think he played there. Mendy and Walker as wing backs. Three in central midfield with Silva left and de Bruyne right Fernandinho central. 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 if we have the ball.

[Mase]

Otter is going to get mugged off today by Salah every time!!
