Man City v Liverpool

Btw Keane has scored more often than anyone against city. 7 goals in 12 games.

City have a knack for recapturing the form of their opposition

I don't see City playing against us like they did last season at their place. Will probably be a more open game with a sew goals in it. I see us winning 3 - 1. Nando 2. Robbie 1. And while this is going on, Chelsea will be drawing with Villa.

This is how city will line up against liverpool on sunday, just like last season

I think I will have to agree with JD on this one too.  Forget the fact that they now have Robinho and Jo and Wright-Phillips who have obviously been great or them this season, we can't underestimate the rest of the team ie Dunne and Richards at the back who played well in both games last season and Elano who is playing really well and will give his marker a tough game.

I'd say the way we are playing at the moment we should be good for a draw and a win will be a bonus for a team that has improved a hell of a lot and are going to make it a tricky game whatever the outcome.

Stephen Ireland too mate. He is capable of cutting open a defence with one ball. They are strong all over the park but to be honest we have a better side.

With Robinho, he hasnt done anything yet to justify his price tag against poor oppositions. He scored a deflected free kick against Chelsea and did nothing for the rest. Missed a great opportunity to score against Wigan on the weekend. I think when he comes up against Jamie and Marty he'll be the same.


I think this is how they'll line up going from recent weeks:

                            Hart

Zabaleta       Dunne       Richards       Garrido


 SWP          Ireland         Elano          Petrov

                     
                 Robinho          Jo

That really does have goals in it but they struggled midweek and they struggled against Wigan when pressure was put on them so hopefully we can pile on the pressure on them and really chase this game from the start before they settle in.

Close them down like we closed down the other Manchester team and we'll be in the business

one strong tackle on robinho by skrtel and he'll be staying away from our box and trying to do that fancy flicks and ballet ......biggest threat is jo and SWP.....we need wingers tht will chase SWP    which means no babel, we can't have SWP running at our back line ---I vote pennant or kuyt on SWP's side...here is what I would like too see,,,,,a little strange but conventional, and it fits into the new keane addition.

             Riena
arby   carra     skrtel  doss
    kuyt     xabi     riera(or pennant)
         gerrard  keane
              torress


I know its strange but it would work against Man city, keane and gerrad track back all the time anyways.....let me know if you think its total Sh*t.

I have confidence in RAFA and the MIGHTY REDS and will go for 3-0 to us courtesy of Torres, Keane and Riera to punish his old club.

Not going to be an easy game this at all, I just hope they don't play like they did last season cos that was soooooooo boring for the fans.

I'm swaying towards a 2-1 to Liverpool, but it could easily be a draw, 1-1 possibly.

I'd like to think that Liverpool have the bit between their teeth, and will go out for the win, it would be nice to see us clear at the top   

The way we have been playing recently, we should fear no-one.

So I'll stick me neck out and go 2-1 

cant beleive the tosh thats comin from the city fans ie the ''view from man city'' feature thats on lfc.tv. just cos they bought one good player (who doesnt look interested half the time) they think that they are going to giv us a thrashin?!?! ridiculous considerin they just got beaten by brighton. i think they will play a very attacking game which will suit us down to the ground as we can take apart teams who leave us any space in the final third. i reckon gerrard and riera are gonna have a field day anyway  YNWA

City are already overrated. Lets be honest here they bought Jo I never heard of him before did any of you? OK they bought Robinho but come on we've faced Ronaldinho Messi Kaka before all far better players then Robinho and come out on top. Lets break it down here there midfield is Stephen Ireland a decent player but as an Irishman id rather have Alonso Masch and Stevie playing for Ireland then stephen Ireland. They have 2 less then average full backs a young goalkeeper 2 centre half's who on there best day wouldn't contain Torres.

Man City are hype now because of the money they have. Wigan beat them last week for Christ sake. We are one of the top sides in Europe!! I fully expect our lads to stamp there authority on the game early and put city in there place   

I can see SWP and Ireland causeing us a few headaches. If we heap pressure on this City team, like Wigan did which caused Man City a few problems, then will walk away with a hard faught win.

3 - 2 to us

anyone got an internet link to the match?

Dont think there'll be too many floatnig around right now. Closer to kick off and you'll find plenty.

I'm going for 3-1 to the reds Riera for first goal anyone??

First of all - apologies that the forum went down.

But what a F***ing win!

Just want to say this:


IT'S ON!

Cracking result, the lads showed great character to comeback from 2 down. Shame about Skrtel's injury though, which has now been confirmed as a cruciate problem

How long of a setback is a cruciate problem? I heard about 8-12 months. Really, really bad news.

They're saying they'll have a better idea of how long he'll be out tomorrow, but it is usually a lengthy layoff.

It's going to be the season isn't it. 

Rafa's team selection nearly killed us though.  Keane should have been on from the start.  That was a foolish change.

Tried all day yesterday to get on this forum.What happend? I thought me Pc was dieing.All the streams were garbage aswell. I had to make do with Aldo on Radio City.But what a result eh!! If that second half was a woman,I'de make love to her until the neighbours complained of the smell. WELL DONE LADS!! GWS Martin Lad
