Man City 2-1 LFC: In Game and Post Match Debates

Starting XI: Mignolet, Cissokho, Skrtel, Sakho, Johnson, Lucas, Allen, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Suarez.

Subs: Jones, Toure, Agger, Alberto, Aspas, Moses, Smith.

Brendan Rodgers has made one change to the line-up for Liverpool's Barclays Premier League clash against Manchester City at the Etihad today.

French full-back Aly Cissokho comes into the side to replace Jon Flanagan.

Meanwhile, Academy starlet Brad Smith is on the Reds' substitutes' bench for the very first time. The 19-year-old, who was born in Penrith in Australia, will wear the No.44. Steven Gerrard has traveled to Manchester City today with his teammates.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Lescott, Kompany (C), Kolarov, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva, Negredo, Navas

What's the City team?

Cissokho is playing? Concerning after his last appearance but a brilliant chance to show what he can do.

I guess Kelly has an injury, not on the bench.

Coutinho and Suarez to cause mayhem in that hole and Sterling to use his pace. Come on you reds.n

I guess we had to play one of Cissokho or Smith and the former got the nod on experience?

Not overly enamoured with him in there, needs must I guess.

Cissokho v Navas. F**k.

Hope Cissokho comes out a hero

All about being positive!!!


COME ON LIVERPOOL!!!

All about being positive!!!


COME ON LIVERPOOL!!!

Well said lad

Wanna see us press like we do at home. Give them something they don't expect. All they get is teams defend deep and look to break at Ethiad, time to do something different.

Better to go out fighting then to live a long painful 1-0 death,

I thought Zabaleta was out for this?

Shame he's back.

Arsenal have taken 3 points today.

We need to fight for this! But we can definitely win! Let's take the 3 points and keep on top!

Come on Redmen !

Cissokho has pace. Good thing is that City can't use Navas as an impact sub now, so he won't be wearing out our full backs 60 minutes in.

We will F***ing hammer these manc, chatsworth estate, kappa tracky wearing, trackies tucked into their rockport boots, gelled hair, gloryhunting cu*ts from the kick off to the final whistle. Suarez to get a hatrick, LFC to go back at the top of the league, happy days then we all get pissed tonight.

Kompany to get a red card. Confident we will tw*t these.

Right with you lad

Apart from their fans bring glory hunters

It says a lot about City's squad when they have a player like Jovetic not even on the bench.

Hmm, can't say I'm happy that Cissokho is playing, but if Brendan feels he is up for it then fair enough, hope he has a good game if not I hope he has a tin helmet !

C ' mon Redmen !

Our team matches theirs....it's all about our attitude today, be disciplined and have intent to attack and we get something from this game. Go out and try to contain and we lose. 

Right with you lad

You're right mate, got mistaken for the mongs on the other side in Salford.

We will f**king hammer these manc, chatsworth estate, kappa tracky wearing, trackies tucked into their rockport boots, gelled hair, gloryhunting cu*ts from the kick off to the final whistle.

That's the spirit, f***in A, let's f***in do 'em '

THIS IS WAR. !!

Come on Captain We can do this

Gutted Flanno isn't fit because the lad has been playing superbly. Am obviously not the only one. Completely worried about Cissoko stepping in to that left back slot but at least he is a natural left footer. Really hope we look to squeeze and press them as we did at Spurs. That's the key to the game I think.
