[RedReet]

Am content with Cissokho under the circumstances. Rather him than a half fit Kelly or a CB playing out of position.

[Fosterbloke]

**** me this is a clash of the titans!

Congratulations to Rodgers for assembling a team worthy of being considered title challengers in such a short space of time. We really have cleared out a lot of ****.

I'm so ****ing nervous. I haven't slept since 8am this morning (it's 3:10am now).

Looks like Ava will be ok and it's just basic observation in the hospital now. Otherwise no ****ing way would I be watching this (in case you're wondering).

[JohnDoe]

I can't take the tension. ****ed.

[BigChief]

F*ck me Kompany, Zabaletta and Yaya Toure all playing. So the injury was obviously to Demechellis - the one guy we needed on the pitch.

Oh well, at least its a new CB pairing with a crippled Zabaletta. Hopefully tons of mistakes back there coupled with the glorious Joe Hart in goal.

[RedReet]

Have a feeling Hart will have a stormer.

[Chris]

Nothing new against us, he usually does.

[Fosterbloke]

I need to chuck a **** right now. So nervous about this.

All the hype is about Suarez but they really do have a strong team.

[Fosterbloke]

Al Jazeera Sport with some dog**** compilation music.

[Frenchie]

Mexican commentators saying Man City's change of formation is big mistake, shows too much respect to Liverpool and that we might play them off the park because of it.

we'll see...c'mon you redmen....

[Fosterbloke]

Interesting, Rodgers points out that this is the first time City are playing three in midfield at home. A mark of respect for us.

[Rigadon]

The game will be won in midfield. If we contain Yaya (not sure if it's possible ) and our midfield three continue their good form, we're in with a chance.

C'MON REDMEN

[dizzycat]

No fear people

[RedReet]

Come on our ****ty midfield midgets.

[Fosterbloke]

This is it.
