      Liverpool v Man City Sun 1st March 12pm KO - Pre match talk
      Feb 27, 2015 07:31:11 pm
      Hopefully all the lads with minor injuries will return v City, as well as the rested Coutinho.

      Mignolet

      Can
      Skrtel
      Sakho

      Markovic
      Henderson (c)
      Allen
      Moreno

      Sterling
      Coutinho

      Sturridge

      Subs: Ward; Lovren, Toure; Ibe; Balotelli, Lambert, Borini.

      I think this side can beat City.

      Silva, Yaya Toure and Aguero are their main threats, so we need to be on our game to stop them.

      Let's do it, 2-1 to us!

      YNWA!

      Had to turn down late offer of a ticket for this one :-(

      Have a feeling we'll struggle given the exertions of last night and the lack of fit bodies, particularly in the midfield. Fingers crossed Henderson, Coutinho and Sakho are all available and fit to play. I wonder if Studge will get a start? He played a lot of minutes last night and the risk if him breaking down is pretty delicate.

      I'd take the draw right now, just so long as we beat the mancs in a couple of weeks.

      Mignolet; Can, Skrtel, Sakho; Ibe, Henderson, Allen, Moreno; Lallana, Coutinho, Balotelli.

      Sterling and Sturridge on the bench for the sh*te they produced last night.

      I wouldn't mind seeing the same side they put out last night start the City game. Factor in PC back in the lineup but I like that look. Balotelli continues to be an enigma. BR has to have a chat with him about him being physical early in the game. Picking up a yellow definitely had an effect on the physical game that he plays. He looks like a NBA center when he backs down defenders and slows the game down.

      City is going to be a tough test. This could be a huge momentum game for us to make that final push to the top 4. Nobody thought that we would be in this position to make a serious run back into the top 4. It begins on Sunday. They matches we have coming up are tough and what better way to start this run then with a thrashing of City at Anfield.

      2-0 Redmen .

      Coutinho and Henderson are shoe-ins to start. Sakho might be up for grabs. Hope he's fit, though, because he's obviously much more preferable to Lovren.

      Any word on Ibe's injury?

      Sakho tweeted on Wednesday he should be ok for Sunday which is good news so with Hendo, Couts and Marko back there should be plenty of energy although Allen looked fooked last night. But he usually plays well against City or maybe it's just my imagination!

      Hopefully Sterling and Sturridge have had a rocket up their jacksy as we will need them.

      I'm expecting a reaction from last nights performance and a win to keep up the pressure on a Top 4 finish.

      Am expecting a really tough test, Shitty have so much talent in their side, and we've had a marathon in Turkey. Hope Cou and Hendo and Sahko start. Playing for 90 mins instead of 45 would mean an improvement over Thurs. Will need the players and BR to be on top form to come away with all 3 pts ...

      If that had been our best team playing in mid week then I wouldn't be at all positive about the game against City at the weekend. I'm glad that we will have a few people coming back into the team, at least hopefully anyway (Sakho, Coutinho, Henderson etc.). I'm going to miss the first half an hour because my 11-a-side game doesn't finish until about 20 past 12. Thanks Sky for making it a 12pm kick off! :mad:

      Can looked absolutely knackered after about an hour last night, let alone after two hours. 

      wonder how much he'll have left in the tank.

      This will be tough, especially with Henderson out of the midfield and Toure back in their line up. Allen and Gerrard trying to  contain him doesnt fill me with hope.

      Studge needs to step it back up, hes been back a few weeks and his last two performances have been poor. Tough coming back from injury I know, but hes a quality player and needs to get that sharpness back asap.

      Well we Liston pens with some of our best players out.
      City were almost full strength and got torn a new one.
      They will be more psychologically damaged than us.
      Opportunity Togo get em, 3:1 the red men, as long as Sturridge realises he is part of a team again!

      I really wouldn't mind seeing Borini. I think we should just give him a run of games and see how that'll turn out.

      I just feel he could offer better support play for the whole team, from pressing to movement and creating space.

      I think Fabio's ship has sailed in Brendan's eyes mate. Don't think he has been given a fair crack to be honest. He has more to offer than Balotelli.

      It's a shame he never got a run of games to prove his worth.

      He's like a Hendo for me, not the greatest footballing player but would offer a lot to the team in our current system, maybe more so than Sturridge & Balo in my opinion.

      All Borini offers for me is running. If that's all we want from a player then sign up Mo Farah! What has Borini ever offered, seriously?

      He has good movement, tenacious, presses and hard working which is beneficial to how we play. I think his style of play can bring out the best in our players.

      For me, it's about having the right balance and players in a team to succeed, and I still believe Borini would fit well in our team, but I doubt very much he'll have that opportunity to prove himself.

      Forget the Besiktas game,this is a totally diferent game.I think we have a good chance of winning this.With a couple of player rested and with Sturidge plaing a lil les selfish role we could really win.I would enjoy in trashing of Pelegrinis mercenaries.I wish best of luck to the lads.

      I'd be happy enough with a draw tomorrow . To lose would be a big knock back for a few games . But if we win then 4th or 3rd is a big possibility and the blue sh*te could do us a big favour too . They've got a decent record against the arse .
