Mario off the bench, for the win.
Thanks.

I'd start Mario Balotelli for this. Just seems like his sort of game. Big game against his old club, usually the time Balotelli would come alive.

The season doesn't start for another week in Italy.
He might not be fit.

Good point, I forgot about that.

Needs to be signed and registered by 12 Friday to be available for the match.

Glen Johnson will get ripped apart if he plays.

Yes hell be there target to get at

I'd rather use Moreno and Manquillo. Johnson should be dropped.

I'd happily rather have Stephen Hawking playing RB than Glen in his current form.

Balo to score the winner from the bench...

Looking forward to this, going for 1-2, come on you reds.

Feel like we can get the win, but would be content with a draw. Hope they get Balotelli's paperwork done so he can play. Don't see him starting but would make an impact off the bench. Would be awesome to have Balo come in and score.

For Balotelli to play he woud have to be registered no later than by midday tomorrow.

A point would be a good one three would send a message to these Abu Dhabi wasters.

Not looking forward to the game tbh. I was disappointed in the performance v Southampton and if we serve up more of the same we can expect a hammering.

Lucas and Johnson are particular worries at this stage, and questions over whether Coutinho is a luxary to far in big games away from Anfield.

City win for mine.

Cou wasn't a luxury too far when he belted in the winner against City last season!

Brendan pre-match..... he really does speak well.

We're going to take this bunch. Sturridge to get 2 and Coutinho to get 1.

We'll score 3, they'll score 1.

I know we have had our "moments" in the past but I think that was down to my hormones but I think you are spot on with the score line because we now have a team who can grind a result out.
Word for Daniel when he score his hatrick F***ing CELEBRATE

Playing Lucas didn't work and can't see BR going down that road - so should be stronger from the off.  Coutinho didn't get into that game but would be surprised if BR doesn't start him for City. Great to hear Markovic and Moreno are available - if Lazar is as good as he seems to be doing in training, this game would be a good time to show us all. Thank f**k we now have way more options in defense too, BR might shuffle make a change or two.

It is early in the season for this big a game, but can't see SG or BR going there for a draw. Expecting them to get the lads well pumped to go at these f**king pussies from the off.

Come away with a draw would be a good result. The ref at the last game was as useless as we could imagine, most probably on City's payroll and i can't remember who is that useless donut.

A win all day long!
We need to be nicking points off the top 4 teams.

We can grind this one out, I don't think the lads are under any illusions that they need to improve.

It amazes me how small the pre match threads are. Were playing the champions. The top 2 from last season who scored over 200 league goals between them and were on page 4.

Are people really that much more interested in posting/arguing in other topics? I would have thought pre match threads were the bread and butter of any forum. Must google a man city forum to see how much talk they have on the game
