city at home

This guy is meant to be a serious journalist. Fuck me. Hacks like him who manage to acquire an important platform make me sick.

He is a complete beaut.

Aguero out against Everton at the weekend and doubtful for this game too.

That would be huge for us.  Still their biggest threat by some distance.  Is Jesus still out too?

Not sure if Jesus is fit enough to start but I’m sure he’s been coming on as a sub recently.

[Lee909]

Jesus will be fully healed ny Monday

[elvis]

Is Can back for this or what ? 

[dylstar]

Jesus will be fully healed by Monday

Jesus: *doing crossword* I’m stuck on 2 across.

[Grinch]

Biggest game since the Europa league final.  Won't be suprised if it's an edgy cagey affair but you'd suspect goals in this.   As long as we dont lose, we're still capable.

[LFC 6 Times]

Can’t fucking wait, Anfield is going to be absolutely rocking.

[Red74]

If Trent starts then I’d go with 3 at the back for these. If emre’s fit, him and Henderson (I know) as a 2 with Robbo & Trent outside them.

 

I know Everton were shite yesterday, but the way these move the ball and the way our midfield allow players to walk past them I’d settle for a safe win without conceding.

 

Put the pressure on these for the home leg

He is in a camper van

[Kevin D]

The idea of being rivals with City is extremely unedifying.

 

If you are round the corner from us, or have been going head to head with us for trophies over 100+ years, then okay we are rivals.

 

Otherwise, you are free to dislike us, but we have no idea who you are. We don't know, and, frankly, we don't want to know.

[clangers]

Sour grapes but I can't take the likes of Chelsea, City or PSG that seriously. Middling sized clubs puffed up by in City's case $1.5 billion of spending over ten years and in City's case a pretty unpleasant regime using City as a vanity project to cleanse and normalise their regime's image.

 

Everything is underpinned by the massive spending including the players and an outstanding manager.

I have little doubt City will score on Wednesday, I fear our midfield will be badly exposed,

Just hope our front men are on target and we score more than them

[dockers_strike]

TAA should really be getting more help from Matip although he needs to keep the right side of his attacker. Trent has not gone shit overnight just needs a good talking to. We have other options in Milner or Gini if Jurgen decides to change it. Someone said in the match thread that maybe Clyne would have got some minutes if Lallana had not pulled a sickie again after coming on which I think was a good shout. I would be really surprised if Clyne started but that said he was added to the CL squad so you never know.

Gini and Can for me , need mobility against theses cunts - Milner and Henderson were woeful yesterday

I thought Milner was our best midfielder.

[Trumo]

Intense concentration and solidity at the back, off-the-charts workrate and creativity in midfield, and statistically impossible ruthlessness and clinical finishing up front.

 

As for what City do, who knows.

[Ne Moe Imya]

The one thing we absolutely MUST avoid is any kind of mental collapse after conceding a goal.

 

People talk about our defense being "woeful" or whatever, but the truth is it's quite good. MOST games. The problem is that every once in a while we concede and then just completely go to pieces and concede 3-4 in quick succession. Lovren is absolutely notorious for this - he makes one dumb mistake but instead of calming down, he goes out to "prove himself" and does two or three more stupid things in a row.

 

Instead, we need to remember that whoever wins this tie is going to have 5-6 goals over the two legs. Just because they score one is no reason to panic.

How else do owners launder their money?

[Special K]

Starting to feel sick about this game already

[Creator Supreme]

Not remotely arsed, we've no fucking chance of going through anyway. I'd like us to go there with a lead and a clean sheet and at least make the cunts work for it though!

[Oh Buoy]

Where's Bobby and his death threat tactic?

[sir roger]

I have a funny feeling this tie will be far tighter & lower-scoring than most people appear to think, certainly the first leg anyway.

[manwiththestick]

I'd take a one nil to us all day long.
