Pre-Match Thread | City v Liverpool

[johnny crossan]

Our defence in the last game against them was pretty solid, it included Delph though who is not available on Thursday. Putting Danilo at LB. would seem to be an option but I think I'd rather have Laporte tbh with Stones and Otter in the middle.

Mendy played there, mate, not Delphinho.

Unfortunately the way we are playing defensively I cannot see a clean sheet or even keeping it to just one. The other way around I cant see the dippers letting many in so "typical City" tells me a draw would be a good result.

I seem to recall Laporte at left back wasn't good so it's likely to be Zin under instruction maybe not to venture forwards too often. Leave the left attacking to Silva and Sane. Kevin on the bench I expect as he isnt close to match fit even if deemed to be available.

It has been glaringly obvious Pep has been preparing for this game for while , this is the big one he wants it bad ! The self entitled murdering thieving Scouse scum have had us over the past twelve months trashing our coach live on tv and the whole football world and the bent Merseyside Police cover it all up . Most of the football world despise these scouse bastards let’s give them what is unduly coming to them both on and off the pitch absolute fucking scum !!! Kompany has already hinted he knows he is starting , proper big game player been there done it and it’s his job to keep the diving cheating cunt salad quiet . Fern back and fully fit is huge , big Dave bossing it in midfield , Aguero around 90 % fit and hungry as fuck , Raheem to finally shine against his scum haters and Sane to run a couple of over hyped average defenders ragged . Just need the fanny wipes to stay away and proper fans turn up what can possibly go wrong ? CTID fuck off you scouse bastards!!!

Raheem to finally shine against his scum haters

Hope he scores the winner and celebrates like Adebayor.

Fantastic post mate let’s do the bastards and shut them and the rest of the world up

[dick dastardley]

Mane cleared to play against us, after 'appearing' to grab an arsenal player round the neck, but Austin gets charged for giving the finger to the crowd!!
It's full on Scouse wankathon

[Bluedj]

Just read this elsewhere. Shows the FA are bent as f@@k

[Nigels Tackle]

It has been glaringly obvious Pep has been preparing for this game for while

by losing 3 out of the last 5 to lure klopp into a false sense of security??

he’s a proper fucking genius our pep!

Dippers

[Saul Goodman]

With Mendy vs Scouse: 5-0, 0-0 - no goals received.
Without Mendy vs Scouse: 3-4, 0-3, 1-2 - 9 goals received.

I rest my case.

Come on Peter Parker, how convenient to leave out that they had 10 men when we won 5-0

Subtle bias or not?

[Outcast]

Is it a coincidence the FFP saga calmed down since our late demise? No one banging on about it since those filth over taken us. I wonder if we reclaim top spot at some point, will they bring it up again to derail us? I'd love to beat them with dodgy decions going our way to send them into meltdown

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Mendy was really important in this game. They will counter as they usually do and will try to speculate our left side.
Not confident, let's home there is a miracle coming.

Mendy can't defend ; it's best that he's out

He's no worse than Delph or Zinch defensively, and at the very least he has some pace to recover situations and height so he doesn't get caught under high balls to the back post, we'll miss on him on Thursday.

It's blatantly obvious that we choose to lose a couple of games to get the Spiegel story and the sportwashing rumours to die down. Mission accomplished. Now we will get back to business as usual and ram the dipper's title aspirations up their own arses.

Not forgetting he's STILL up there for assists for defenders and he's not played for about 500 years!

[sheblue]

If vinny thinks he is playing then we might see a back 3 of Stones Vinny and Laporte.
I would prefer that to Laporte as a regular left back he is not suited to it.
Either way i don't think it will be an orthodox 433 and we will adjust somewhat as we did in cuntfield.

Feeling more positive about it after the much needed win yesterday.

We are the better team even with problems at LB.
We just need to go out and show the vermin who the top dogs are.

I'd much prefer that he fulfills his potential and we get our money's worth.
