The Moon is the first milestone on the road to the stars! City at home, 14th Jan

[Ranxerox]

3-0 them

[Kevin D]

If United win the title from here, then the Sheikh has taken a bung.

I don't dispute that it is unlikely, but I Can not take that chance.

[dockers_strike]

Prior to the derby and Coutinho doing one I was confident with Mo back Bobby up front and Coutinho pulling the strings we would edge them in a close game at Anfield 2-1 maybe. Now I would take a draw if offered no danger.

[Numero Veinticinco]

They are possibly the best side to play in the Premier League. Their owners have purchased them one hell of a squad. The insane levels of investment are paying off on the pitch. They are also very well run - which is easier to do when everything is greased with money - which makes a difference. I can’t see anything other than a City win here.

[Barnesey]

We always tend to do well against them at Anfield. I remember a Manc in the Flattie a few years ago telling us how they had been spanked for years but they were gonna do us now. We won 3-0 with Carroll bagging a couple.

 

I can see Citeh losing their invincibility on Sunday, 2-1 to us

[INTORRESTING]

Their run ends here.

 

We carved them open last time and we should have been 2 nil up before mane was sent off.

[Baltar]

If Salah plays we win IMO. If he doesn't, it'll be a draw.

Lallana to come on with 25 minutes to go, gegenpressing them into oblivion.

 

Liverpool.....4

Manchester City.........2

[dockers_strike]

Had a word with one of my card carrying City season ticket holders about the game. He doesnt fancy their chances and says put your money on a scouse win because we win fuck all at Anfield.

[johnsusername]

We'll stand a better chance if we play Countinho, suarez, sterling, Torres, Mascherano and Alonso I reckon.

[suzy]

With Coutinho I'd have been quietly confident. With an unfit Lallana, I'm not.

This

[Grinch]

Nah, we're going to out work them and probably walk away with the three points.  Cue a wankathon over our average midfield runners before being brought back down to earth by Swansea and Huddersfield.

 

I'm genuinely more optimistic about this game than any team that will sit back against us, unfortunately that's most of the league.

4th in the league and unbeaten in our last 17 games. Miserable bugger.

Yea that was great, watching guile and creativity in midfield with speed up top.   We've decided to replace our midfield creativity with two average runners & we've already had a first hand look on two occasions how poor that's made our attack.

 

From one of the best in the league to struggling to create anything of note over night.   This self sabotage must actually be funny as fuck for rival fans.

how did we get on in the last game?

Don't ya think the players and manager deserve a chance? We've hardly been shite since Coutinho has been out of the team and actually won those games. Salah missing, loads of rotation due to the busy period, Lallana coming back from injury and we've just signed one of the best CB's in the game. Self sabotage? We have lost one fucking player, get a grip lad. 

[Grinch]

Scored a late winner from a corner after creating next to nothing all game.  Great result but basically just covering over the cracks.  We played much better and didn't win numerous times this season.   Sooner or later that evens itself out and you get what you deserve from games.

 

If anyone on here said at the start of the season or at any point when we were flying, we'll sell Coutinho and let Lallana and Chamberlain fill the void, they'd have been laughed off here, called all sorts and not one cunt would think it was a good idea.  Except you of course cause you've a strange obsession with Lallana, no offence.    It's like Arsenal selling Ozil and Sanchez and replacing them with Iwobi and Wilshire, imagine we got that lucky!

Most of these midfielders have been here years, we know what they can do and none of them are fit to replace what Coutinho brought to the team.

 

We've sold a world class player when we were playing superb football and not replaced him, so yes it is self sabotage.   Entirely expected under these owners of course.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Yer just a miserable sod Grinch. If we win you find fault in small things, if we draw it is whinge city, if we lose it is Armageddon.

Yea?  Cause I sure as fuck don't remember you suggesting we sell Coutinho and play Lallana.   So why act like it's ok now.

Behave yourself, nobody is happy he is gone but he has. Let's see what happens before digging a grave. But then again, you will still be a miserable sod trying to fault no matter what happens. Endex. 

[aRdja]

Bit premature to assume Firmino isn't available.  Last "investigation" took 4 months...

Yeah, it was a round about way for me to suggest playing Salah up front.

[3 Stacks]

As always against the big sides, we'll need to create a chaotic match, win the second balls and create attacking advantages from them to be most successful. 

 

It will be a classic.

[Bobby Hundreds]

They are miles better than us but if salah and mane are on it.. who knows.

[Ne Moe Imya]

I predict a slugfest that we ultimately lose 2-3.

 

City are just so, so good this season. The goalkeepers could be the difference.
