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

[Boss]

Look at their side. Goalkeeper is class. Fullbacks are class. Centre backs are solid. Their midfield is brilliant. Pace and directness on the wings and clinical finishers up top. Quality off the bench as well.

 

Unless our fans create a cauldron style atmosphere from the opening whistle like the game at Anfield in 13/14 i can't see how we can win.

Crystal Palace should’ve beaten them.

 

Their centre halves aren’t solid.

 

They only just scraped past Bristol City.

 

Before Mane’s sending off we were causing them all sorts of problems.

 

2-1 to the red men.

Their full backs aren't that great,Kyle Walker has never been anything but ordinary and they concede goals. They are superb going forward but we're not bad either. A draw.

Technically they do concede goals. They just concede fewer than anybody else in the league. Nearly half as many as us. They also score many more than us.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Think we've no choice but to go for an arms race with these

 

5-4 to the tricky reds

[stringvest]

they did twat us 5-0 last game, and we only went one player down, not 8.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I'd love to be confident going into this, but the sheer lack of creativity without Coutinho and Lallana's rustiness in the last game makes it tough to see anything other than a City win.

 

Maybe we can hit them on the break, but who's making the passes and linking up with the front three? Do the rest of our midfield even have half a dozen goals and assists between them?

 

2-4

[FanchesterCity]

I'm not that confident. We are probably as good as we've ever been but Liverpool are hardly hapless bystanders. This us a bloody tough game.

Right now I would argue Liverpool and Chelsea are City's most formidable opponents and so depends on which versions of the two sides turn up.

In my opinion, it's the game of the season in waiting between the two most attacking sides in the PL

[The Golden Eel]

2-2

[ZonkoVille77]

we're fuckin shite

[Hades]

1-5. Another battering.

[manwiththestick]

Neither team will sit back and defend. Open game, I think we will nick it.

[suzy]

Klopp has said Mo is fit for this so that's something. City haven't won at our place for 15 years so I'm clinging on to that!

[WhiskeyJar]

Really dreading this one.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Really dreading this one.

 

I'm not, City have been struggling of late by their standards. OK, they are still winning, but having to rely on late goals a lot. Think we are meeting them at the perfect time, plus they will be wary about our own attacking capabilities.

I think it will be an exciting game! Both team like to attack, let’s hope we keep all 11 players on the pitch this time!

Aye, I have noting against them going down to 10 mind. 

[suzy]

Aye, I have noting against them going down to 10 mind.

 

Haha, worrying there’s a lot of ‘pundits’ saying we could win

[LFC 6 Times]

We're in great form and have showed a real resilience in recent weeks, something which has been questioned about this side. However, the whole Coutinho saga has really overshadowed everything for me, it seems like an eternity since we've played. City's performance level has really dropped in the past month and our side with Coutinho, who has been the scourge of them many times I would have felt very confident. But I feel our attacking play is really going to be stifled without him, the midfield options really don't enthuse me and Mane really needs to up his performance level as well as his attitude. Going for 1-1.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I'd settle for a point if I'm honest. Think we can win it if we dig in like we have been doing, VVD will hopefully have that back line organised and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he chips in with another goal. 

[TheHowieLama]

We will get mullered.

[Hand Shandy]

Honest prediction?

 

Fuck knows.

 

I'd take a point.

[Jairzinho]

Not dreading it at all. Cityvare one of the best teams in the world, possibly the best. I expect nothing, and would be delighted with a point.

 

Mane is going to need to show up because even with Bobby dragging defenders everywhere they'll just double up on Salah, and obviously our best player has left and the midfield now possesses almost no goal threat whatsoever.

 

I think they'll beat us 2-1 or 3-1 but we're good enough to get something if we play well.

[Strontium]

City are overdue a win at Anfield, and we are overdue a defeat. Add to this the fact that the player we just let go has been our star performer in this fixture in recent times, and you would be a mug to back a home win here.

[magicrat]

Can't be good for confidence having had to watch Phil jump ship even though he probably wouldn't have played tomorrow, Kloppo has a big job getting them to believe they can win this and if we get anything out of it all credit to him. Strangely I'm not that nervous, We're underdogs and losing wont be a shock and if we win it will be a fantastic boost ,
