Liverpool v Man City - Pre-Match Thread

This should be one great game, am hopin for goals, lots of goals (probaby both ways though) hopefully we get more than them, shouldn't be boring, really looking forward to tomorrow, should be a good day with plenty of beer!!! In pub 11-10 to watch the mancs get rolled over by the bitters as well, then back home to watch it again on MOTD!! Hope to God we win this, we Liverpool fans just need a win to celebrate now.

Finally we get to see the lads again.

Can't wait for this just under 4 hours left now.

I finish work and should get home just in time to see the lads walk out on the pitch.

I reckon we will do this tonight.

Hopefully we can keep a clean sheet but I've still gone 2-1 to us.

N'Gog and I can't believe I'm saying this but Lucas to score. He's come close in the last few games. Today is the day he bursts the net.

Come on you Redmen, tear them apart.

Watching this one on the box down the pub.

MASSIVE game, we need a win anyway but the fact its against "a rival" makes it even bigger.

Just feel after the international break three points could kick start our season and show the kind of form we all hoped we would this season.

Cmon you redmen!!!!! YNWA

tomorrow is Rafa's game,not that his future hangs on it,but he will make a point to the pretenders.Money alone does not buy a top 4 place,you also need the right manager.We have one, they don't.

That's the buzz i'm getting for this game too. Fast tempo and first to the tackle - we will beat these whores.

Come on you Redssssssssssss!!!!!!!! lets F**k those bas**rds!

2-0

Agree with most of the predictions, feel good about this game. 2-0 Reds - Ngog double!

COME ON YOU REDMEN!!!!!!

Time to show money isn't everything!!

2-1 Gerrard and Ngog

I have a sneaky feeling we're going to see the Gerrard we all know and love tonight 3-1 to us Stevie G hat-trick.

Nothing less than a result will do today, I'm not bothered if its a result playing beautiful football or a hard ground out scrappy win as long as we get 3 points on the board and start moving in the right direction, sometimes you have to win ugly and with all the players returning from injury and the poor form that has coincided with our start season, today may just be one of them days.

Buzzing now!

Come on you Reds, let's show everyone that we're in it for the long haul!

Come on you Redmen!

Good to have some proper footy back too.

Come on you reds, we nee a win, some of the lads are back, lets slap these bitches!

Can see us putting in a top quality performance today, smash these fuckers!

These are getting stonked.

Liverpool are without Glen Johnson for their lunchtime kick-off against Man City, though Steven Gerrard starts. Listen live from 12.15pm GMT. 
Johnson is not fit enough to make the squad but Fabio Aurelio, Albert Riera and Yossi Benayoun all make the bench.
 
Gerrard returns for his first start since mid-October.
 
The Reds XI in full is: Reina, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Mascherano, Lucas, Kuyt, Gerrard, Babel, Ngog. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, El Zhar, Aurelio, Riera, Benayoun, Kyrgiakos. 

Reina, Skrtel, Carra, Ageer, Insua, Mascha, Lucas, Kuyt, Gerrard, Babel, Ngog.
Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, El Zhar, Aurelio, Riera, Benayoun, Kyrgiakos.
Ver strong bench. Hope Torres was fit enough for the bench atleast.

Got goosebumps on that Sky montage then

WE NEED THIS WIN

I like what Sky did there with YNWA.
