Skip straight to full time? http://www.lfcreds.com/reds/index.php/topic,44372.msg1427782.html#msg1427782


Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Agger, Carragher, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Downing, Suarez, Sturridge

Subs: Jones, Wisdom, Skrtel, Allen, Shelvey, Sterling, Borini.

Team as expected, looks like we could set out the same as Wednesday night.

City: Hart, Zabaleta , Nastasic, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Garcia, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Aguero

Much as I expected and great to see Jamie keep his place as he has deserved it.

Good to see Jose back as well and that should give us more balance in the wide areas.

That really is a side we can get at. Go on lads.

Silva, Dzeko & Aguero all worry me.

The rest, not so much.

City: Hart, Zabaleta , Nastasic, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Garcia, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Aguero

Two left footed defenders at their back. Come on Suarez!!

Won't be able to watch this one, pivotal game, could be make or break for top 4 going forward?

COYR!

Think we will set up with a flexible 4-4-2/4-3-3 with Henderson tucking in when needed and Downing making the front two into a three when given the chance. 

Citeh worry me up front, but are nothing special at the back. Could be a good game if we take our chances.

Think starting Carra was the correct decision.

I also think we're capable enough of putting it by City today. But if Suarez is playing as a wide midfielder, we'll be undone again in the long run of the game

Good team there. If we dominate Garcia/Barry (which we should do), I'm confident we'll win this.

Cmon you reds nice to see the players who played well retain their place.

I see it as this

Reina

Johnson  Carra  Agger  Enrique

Lucas  Gerrard

Henderson

Downing  Sturridge  Suarez

But as S@int says it will be flexible as always.

Come on Reds

Loving that starting 11! Shame Coutinho is not ready for bench, this is the sort of match where we may need impact subs! Borini and Sterling are our only hope and Im not sure about either at the minute!

City have Nastastic playing, and not Kompany. Luis Suarez can really cause some damage to them two with the right service.

City have quality but their centre backs and central midfielders are very weak and vulnerable. We can exploit this but it'll be tough

Come on reds a win today and start climbing the table

Silva is my worry. He's in frightening form and could do real damage. Happy Dzeko is playing ahead of Tevez, as Tevez is comfortably better, imo, as well as the fact he works better with Aguero. Interested to see how Nastasic does - I think he's fantastic.

A fully fit Borini would of made sense in this match for his attitude in marking and running down the opposition. I hope he can be fit soon, think he'll be a big game player for us when it's all said and done. Much like Kuyt

Lescott is garbage, but Nastasic has been better than Kompany this season. Kompany has been average.

Agree mate.

Lescott is garbage, but Nastasic has been better than Kompany this season. Kompany has been average.

I think Kompany has been alright this season, not great though.

Nastastic is only 19 and he's up against Luis Suarez, one of the best players in the world at the moment. Suarez can cause a lot of damage to him and Lescott

A fully fit Borini would of made sense in this match for his attitude in marking and running down the opposition. I hope he can be fit soon, think he'll be a big game player for us when it's all said and done. Much like Kuyt

Really like Borini, I think he just needs a goal to get him to start firing. I don't think he'll be a 20 goal a season man, more like a 10ish one.
