    Johnson is going to play up front, it's a nailed on win.

    It wasn't just last years team though,it was also the adrenalin & euphoria the crowd were fuelling them with. We were outside when the team coach was getting a World Cup winners welcome and we just knew we were in for it.First half an hour liverpool were just playing on the adrenalin injection from the crowd and I was just praying we could stay in the game
    Although it was a bitterly disappointing result,a deserved victory for liverpool,I thought that's probably one of the best games I've ever been to,it had everything and the atmosphere was electric
    I doubt the crowd will be as up for it at midday on Sunday and that can only be of benefit to City

  9. Just trying to work out how the 'now' team would like-up. You've picked three CBs, three CMs, three attacking players plus Marko and Migs. Marko can pay one of the wide roles but who pays the other? Hendo or Can...?

    It should probably have Moreno instead of Lovren instead of Johnson

    Or Ibe instead of Moreno instead of Lovren instead of Johnson

    We have changed formation too.

    I would say:

    1. Skertl is better in this 3 at the back than he was last year. The only thing he's not done is score the amount of corners he did last year. a lot less OGs this year too.

    2. Can is better than johnson, markovic is better than johnson

    3. Gerrard v allen... plays so deep does it matter, less hollywood too

    4. Coutinho this year is better than last year

    5. Sterling this year is slightly better than last year

    to say flananagan is better than ANYONE is a gross insult and you should be ashamed. Moerno is also LWB so he is better

    Al round i would say our 3-4-2-1 formation has a lot of things that might help us negate city.

    I would watch for them playing milner wide left and navas wide right to open us up. If they play nasri and play narrow they play to our strengths.

    Finally... c'mon lets win this one.

    i'd take 3-2 right now <whistle>

    Moses' fault, losing the ball carelessly. Henderson panicked.

    Very tough this.

    They need a win and we've just gone to penalties abroad.

    0-2 City.

    Tough but one which we mustn't lose and realistically should win to stay with the challengers. Arsenal and the mancs will get 3 points. Southampton will too and spurs will have a match in hand.

    A draw minimum will keep us in there
