Man City (a)

Of course we can beat them. City has looked rusty on quite a few occacions this season, and I don't think they are back to their best yet.
 
We can beat them.

Whether we will or not is a different matter.

They have arguably the best attack in the league.

We have a defence that's leaking more than an old garden tap.

Not a great combination.

I agree with you that we look vulnerable when (trying to) defend. To me it is the whole teams capability to defend that is the issue, not the defence alone.
 
I wonder if Skrtel will be back for this.

Reina
Johnson
Carragher
Agger/Skrtel
Enrique
Lucas
Henderson
Gerrard
Sturridge
Suarez
Sterling
 
Downing and Lucas deserve to get dropped for their performaces against Arsenal.

Also, I'd start Suarez in the centre.


-----------------------Reina
Johnson-----Skrtel------Carra------Enrique
-------------------Henderson-----------------
------------Gerrard---------Allen
----------------------Suarez
----------Sturridge-----------Sterling
 
Sterling needs more of a rest. As does Allen:

---------------------------Reina--------------------------
Johnson---------Carra--------Skrtel--------Enrique
---------------------------Lucas-------------------------
--------------Henderson---------Gerrard-------------
---------------------------Suarez------------------------
-------------Downing--------------Sturridge---------
 
I'm pretty sure we'll beat them, and give the other cunts a 10pt gap and pretty much hand the league over. Sods law.
They'll b without kompany and yaya, so they'll b just like us - having no one arsed to tackle.
I think we'll win this, which will be 4pts out of 2 very tough away games, and we'll have finally beaten someone in the top half.
Looking forward to seeing coutinho hopefully.

They were both rested against Arsenal. And Downing and Lucas were awful.

Like I said, they need more of a rest. Sterling was awful against Oldham.

Also, Henderson seems to favour getting forward these days. Putting him alongside Gerrard can only be playing into his hands surely?
 
Lucas didnt do much against Arsenal, but still more than allen has done in his games. I would actually like to see Shelvey in there with some more energy than we have seen so far.

If it's not broken don't fix it. Well, Wisdom shouldn't be starting if Enrique's ready of course.

Yeah it was an awful way to lose two points against Arsenal it was still however a much improved performance compared to what we've seen against the top teams earlier this Season. These 11 also gave Norwich a torid time and as City are not quite as strong on the ball as Arsenal we should be able to (dare to, if you like) push our lines further forward than against Arsenal.

Baring injuries this is the team Rodgers will pick I am positive.
 
I want to see a 4-4-2. Sterling and Downing working their socks off on the flanks, and Suarez and Sturridge free to roam. Hendo and Gerrard to work centrally.

I think Suarez and Sturridge are capable to create trouble on their own, and I believe we need employ Suarez higher up before he get knackered.
 
Reina
Johnson Carra Agger Enrique

Allen Gerrard

Sterling Henderson Suarez

Sturridge
 
I am still a fan of making tactical substitotions depending on the development in the game.

If we're winning he'll score/create another
If we're drawing he'll score/create the winner
If we're losing he'll score/create the equaliser

Simples. Tactical THAT
 
Give him a 15 min run at the end - it's a win/win.

New signing Philippe Coutinho will not be in the squad for Liverpool.
The 20-year-old Brazilian has briefly returned to Milan after Wednesday's switch from Inter and will not return until next week.
 
Grim on Coutinho, but I doubt he'd have figured anyway.

....................................Reina.................................
Johnson.........Carra................Agger...........Enrique
....................................Lucas..................................
......................Gerrard............Henderson.................
Borini..........................Sturridge....................Suarez

Is what I'd play.

I was going to ask you what drugs you were taking when I saw this. Then I realised I was on Tapatalk and the formatting is all fucked up.

Luckily we are tearing up trees at the moment.... it will be a massive upset if we beat them, massive, they are better than us by a long fucking chalk and at home and desperate to keep up with United at the top. Im praying we win cos we fucking NEED to get going with a big win but make no mistake we will need luck and lots of it.

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. Since we only have 2 CMs in decent form (Gerrard and Hendo), then it might make sense to adjust the system. Lucas was a waste of space against Arsenal, unfortunately, and the fact that Allen didn't even feature tells you everything.

I would do something like this:

(4-4-2):
---------Suarez---Studge-----
Enrique------------------Downing
----------Gerrard--Hendo---------
Johnson------------------Wisdom
----------Agger----Carra---------
---------------Reina---------------
