Liverpool v Manchester City, 11th April 2011 20.00 ( pre-match )

V

We badly need to get over the WBA performance performance and result. The only way is to follow it up with a better performance and result, and our next game up is City at home.

Liverpool return to action when they play host to Manchester City on April 11 at Anfield. We have to get revenge for that hammering in the disappointing 3-0 defeat at the City of Manchester Stadium earlier in the season. Last season's Anfield meeting between the sides ended in a 2-2 draw.

City have beaten Sunderland comfortably at home this weekend while we were absolutely dire away to WBA. They may have one eye on the FA cup clash at Wembley after us so hopefully we can capitalise on this. A much better performance is needed.

We have many injury problems with the likes of Agger, Gerrard, Kelly and Aurelio out and with Johnson and Shelvey doubts.

For viewers in the UK, this will be live on Sky Sports

Im assuming Gerrard is back but Agger, Johnson, Kelly and Aurelio are out.

                          Reina

      Carragher    Skrtel  Krygiakos Wilson

                        Lucas
                 Gerrard   Meireles

             Kuyt     Carroll    Suarez

The back four scares me and I also hate the fact that it will be 60 yard balls from Carra, Wilson and Skrtel.

Kenny needs to have a word.

To be honest, I'm pretty worried for this, and it's a home game!

Manchester City probably owns us in the majority of the positions, especially since our back four would probably be consisted of four centre backs, rather than two centre backs and two right/left backs.

I just hope we can come away with a much needed win.

I'm actually confident for this game, think we'll win 2 or 3 nil.

Did you watch them play today and watch us play on Saturday? I'll echo Adryan's comment and say I'm not filled with optimism. The only thing that is getting me going for it is that the lads somehow get themselves up for the big games.

We will WIN. My only concern is that the Citeh midfield will outmuscle us again like they did last time.

I read somewhere that Gerrard may be out for the season after damaging his groin again in training? (hopefully bollocks)

I think Suarez and Carroll will get the goals in a 2-0 win.
 

                         

I'll be in the Kop for this one, lets make it nice and loud start early get at em and get an early goal, come on you redmen.

Gerrard felt more pain in his groin according to Kenny. As to how long he will be out for that hasn't been disclosed. It is possible however he needs more surgeory which would probably rule him out for months. (The end of the season)

Gonna be a few more weeks at best IMO.

He's out for the season apprently, differnent injury, same groin but different.

Did you watch us play agianst United after the way we played at West Ham?

City won 5-0 today. They'll be full of confidence. If we have another Spearing Lucas central partnership then I fear for us.

Looks like Gerrard, Johnson and Agger (maybe) are out for this game too, another blow.

      Carragher    Skrtel  Krygiakos Wilson

Yeah I am not liking that back four at all. Going up against City with that back four won't end very well.

But I am confident Kenny will come up with something to help us win.

For starters, I hate them for their crest!

Above the eagle and shield are three stars, which are purely decorative.

Fakers!

Fakers!

This.

They are a joke.

Superior tactics and inspired play will have to get us through this one. That backline (assuming Johnson and Agger are out) will only hold for so long and the midfield performance against WBA gives me little in the way of confidence without Gerrard.

If Meireles impacts the game a little more, Suarez keeps up his play and Carroll gets some chances to head one in we might have a chance. Need to score goals though. Can't hope for a clean sheet or anything close to one.

Fakers!

I can't get worked up about them, when you consider they have to share a city with the other retards.

It's funny watching city fans trying to think of themselves as big time, yet you scratch your head when thinking about the last time they actually challenged for any sort of trophy.

so who's goint to supply our width in this one. Not very optomistic i'm afraid. Especially without Agger at the back. Will wait to predict until I see the team sheet.

34 years since the won a trophy or very close to that. Tough game. Putting us down for a win. We need to bounce back here

About right,but they are buying one,whereas we are in the process of clearing out,3 years of mis-management,and our squad,is about as dependaple as a chocolate fireguard

We're always fired up when we play the bigger games. Jekyll and Hyde FC. Which one will show up?

well what team will show up against man city?. we have a shaky back four and man city have hit good form. not optomistic unless saurez and carroll can have a field day.

who cares if we have no fit defenders, stick a 3-5-2 out there !

come on the REDS !
