Alright boys let's get ****ing up for this one the start of the regular seasonal return of silverware to Anfield YNWA
I have no idea how this will go. I used to have faith that in finals we would win. That's not so with this team. Our defence is very ropey but I can see us bossing possession and its up to those up front to convert this. If they do then lets see. If they don't then we are bound to let at least one goal in. 2-2 Liverpool on penalties.
Stupid that there are other league games on in the same day... Much like the FA cup few years ago where I think it was city who won the league a couple of hours before FA cup final so took the gloss off for the winners. Cup up finals should at least have their own day if not weekend to make it a really special occasion.
It's good to be in a final again, if we turn up we stand a good chance. If we play like we did on Thursday we will lose 2 - 0
All fair comment. I've no idea what will happen but I do feel it's more down to city's performance than ours. I am not sure about several of our platers being able to perform on a big day as this is a real big day not just a league match v a big team.. this one counts and our history going back to 2001 is we dont turn up. We won in 2001 fa and Uefa cup finals after being woeful We won in 05 and 06 having done awful in final We won in last league Cup final after woeful display. Do we have someone who might produce a magic moment....... just the one I think. Coutinho. I think it will require a bit of brilliance for us
Don't think so. Sturridge needs supply. That's be coutinho. Firmino at rw I don't like. He might fire a wonder shot but I think coutinho is more likely to do it. I can see coutinho finding space where city cms don't bother track and firing in a few shots.
With regard to this afternoon's encounter, I confess to being all of the below: 1. Excited 2. Scared 3. Cynical 4. Worried 5. Pessimistic It's all gone before: poor finishing, poor defending... Trying to consider the merits of a loser's medal...be British, you took part and all that ****...'cept most of our lot aren't even bleedin' British...
