Pre-Match: Bournemouth V Liverpool (08/12/18 - 12:30)

A must win. Every league game is the way City are playing but they are away at Chelsea, so we need to put them under pressure. A good win Wednesday with a lot of legs rested so no excuses! 1-3 Reds!!! 

Despite citys brilliance and us not playing well...

At 2.15 tomorrow we could be top!! And with some luck remain there over the weekend

MASSIVE fixture

Looks like Mane might not make this 

Alisson
TAA-Lovren-VVD-Robertson
Gini-Fab-Keita
Shaq Salah Firmino (later Sturridge)

Anything outside the top 6 we need to win, no matter if home or on the road. I don't think we have a shot at ManC, but we certainly have to do anything to stay as close as possible to take advantage if some opportunity occurs. I hope Keita has another eye-opener, so that Jürgen is forced to bring him against Napoli.

No Mane and Lovren

Kieta & Big Shaq must start

Big 3 points at stake here, need to put some pressure on city.

CMON YOU REDMEN!!!!

Little inside training footage....

Firmino
Shaqiri

Subs:

Mignolet
Moreno

2-0 to us 👍⚽️

Hmmm. Miss, miss. Miss....

Tomorrow it will be goal, goal, goal.

Another massive game . C'mon u reds
4-1 to the red men
Ynwa

I've got us at 3-0, I think we'll pull the defense together again and get a few goals.

This will be very tough no doubt, they gave City a fair few scares last week.

Could be a difficult game, Bournemouth are no pushovers. Still will go for 2  1 for the Reds.

Suddenly thin at center back.

Really enjoy watching Bournemouth, Howe has them set up very well.

Whatever the line up, Wilson, King and Fraser will need to be respected. They’re clicking for the Cherries this season.

Wouldn’t mind Sturridge starting again but no real bother who gets the nod. Just win!

Well at least they will try to play football and follow Burnley's Alehouse tactics.
Still seeing quite a few posts from people who seem a bit underwhelmed by the lads this season let me tell you it doesn't come better than this. All the pundits are telling us CITY are the best team ever in the Premiership and we are right on their tails.

Looking forward to this game. Both teams play good football. I'm thinking a 3-1 win!

Alisson

AA
Matip
VVD
Robbo ( Moreno if Robbo still inured )

Fabinho
Gini
Keita/Lallana

Salah
Bobby
Shaqiri

Don’t know why, I am always worried we might lose, even though we continue to get the required result.
Now here’s another game I think could be a banana skin.
We are a far better side I know, just worried shitless we will drop vital points in our quest.
Even so, with all the neg worries, I continue to predict us to win 🤷🏼‍♂️
Although Bournemouth try to play in the right spirit of the game, and they do it quite well, I think we SHOULD have too much for them.
We just gotta turn it on !
We keep wining with sub par performances, and I worry we will slip up if things don’t improve.
We are gradually getting better, even if it’s not for the full 90, so thinking if we can be at our best for 60 mins, we should win this one as well.
0:3 the red men, back to the clean sheets please !

Got a pass to watch this on Sly tomorrow.
Cmon ta f**k lads!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing less than 3 points will do. But sure you knew that already.
Put some pressure on City, and hope the Chavs roll back some recent crap form.
Looking forward to it

Going Christmas shopping early with me old dad before the game, hope the game will set up a good weekend

I know we say this for every game but this just feels massive

Midday kick off
Chance to go top
Wilson and Fraser in good form
B2b away fixtures
Horrible result there recently

Let’s F***ing do this!!!!

Nervous about this one too

This is gonna be one hell of a game. Get the 3 points lads and get the F**k out of there quick smart.

So if we win and go top, City don’t feel any pressure to beat Chavs. They just go out cool as F**k and do the job !
BOLLOCKS DO THEY !!!!!

They are all human like the rest of us, even though some  of them might be a bit less desirable.
They see or hear we have won and every last one of them will be bricking it.
It’s not Palace, it’s not Watford, it’s a top 4 contender. They know they are in for one hell of a game.
Hazard will be doing his impersonations of Tom Daley, and they know they’ve their got their hands full.
Just go out and bring back the 3 points Red Men, and let’s screw the city mercenaries.

Struggled against Bournemouth at first but then battered them both times last season. I hope we batter them again but I think it’s going to be a tough game. They seem to have worked out how to score quite freely this season and despite their recent results, they’ve pushed the bigger teams close and have still found the net so they will be confident. They know the pressure is on us so hopefully we can put this game to bed and make City needing to get the result to retain their position, something we’ve had to do in recent weeks.
Shame Gomez is out because I think Wilson will happily be targeting Matip.

Need a top performance from the midfield for this one. No gifting the opposition chances and being useful with our possession.

This will be very tough no doubt, they gave City a fair few scares last week.

True.

0-2  to us.

Another tough fixture against a good side. It's trickier because we have such a huge game on Tuesday so you wonder what's in the manager's head in terms of who will play. It's a real blow to be missing Gomez and Lovre but at least Robbo is back. Interesting to see if Keita starts, if he doesn't that probably means he will be in the line-up for Tuesday. Salam the key man today, could do with some of his magic early on. The lads at the back will need to keep an eye on Wilson who is developing into a fine centre-forward.

Very tough fixture this, but aren't they all when your chasing titles,  City have had it respectively easy of late, because their not the ones doing the chasing, 
So lets see how the handle the pressure of HAVING  to win each and every game,
Like we have had to,
There are no easy games in this league and the Mouths from Bourne are no different,  wee Eddy has them playing well again are well organised and are very capable of inflicing damage to anyone,
Klopp will know this and will set things up accordingly,
With Gomez & Lovren both out i have faith in Matip ,i think he had a good game V Burnley, Mane is also a doubt and a bigger blow imo, but with Naby, and Shaq we have another dimension to our atrack and definitely a worry for wee Eddy....

                        Alisson
         Trent  Matip VvD Robbo
               Fabinho Wijnaldom
           Salah     Shaqiri    Keita
                          Bobby

Ideally i woild have rested Bobby, i think he's looked  jaded and slightly out of kilter of late,  however,  with Mane likely to be out we can't afford to  lose two thirds of our attack,  without being disrespectful to Sturridge or Origi,
B'mouth will test us that there is no doubt but overall i believe we will prove to be too much for them and it might even be comfortable in the end.

Having a punt that TAA might get the rest he was meant to get Tues ahead of Napoli......

Like that team but I think Milner and Henderson are getting the nod again away from home.

City will probably win the league regardless of what happens today, because they bankrolled their own sponsors and Uefa are doing nothing! Cheats. FFP utter joke. Man City is a dirty phrase to me.

City are under far greater pressure than us to deliver, they have spent an obscene amount of money only to be 2 points ahead of us. What does that tell you about what our Boss has achieved with this team this so far considering we ain’t ‘clicked’ yet..

They will crack & we have to make sure we are ther to strike when that happens..

      Alisson
TAA  Matip VVD Robbo
  Gini Fab Keita
Salah  Firmino  Shaq

Would have concern about Matip but hopefully the big man will keep him honest.
Keita was good vs Burnley, why he was bought, strong running from the middle and shots.
Another chance for Fab to get time under his belt, thought he was decent against Everton [and might suit playing this lot, get some tackles in, they like playing it about, so break that up]
Bob and Salah come back to start.
Hope Mane makes it, otherwise Shaq goes in.

CMON BOYS!!!!

An actual football playing team. At least, there will be no shithousery from them.

Have a feeling this ones going to be a belter.

Hope Naby starts today and builds off the excellent performance of midweek

F***ing exactly - tells me everything I need to know: we have the best manager in the world.

City flying yet we’re right F***ing there, even after losing one of the best players in the world last year.

Hurry up.

On 'paper' this is the hardest game of our last three.  Gomez out is a blow for us.  Let's face it, he kept us in that derby last week.

Hate early kick offs.
