The Man City [H] thread

[Irishnev]

This will be a tough one and hard to call, both sides great going forward and dodgy at the back. We need to win the midfield battle so it will be interesting to see who plays with Hendo and Lallana - Can or Gini.

I suspect the same front 3 as the last few games but maybe he may play Can and Gini wide left and Origi on the bench? A win here would be massive.

I'm ****ting myself.

I'm also confused. What is the recommended starting drinking time for a 5.30 kick off?

[Fosterbloke]

I'm getting up in 4 hours to watch this! I'm ****ting it too but at least it means we have something to play for!

I've also been pondering this. Thinking about 3pm.

7.30, given that it's New Years Eve.

Am or pm?

Haha, definitely pm these days.

I went for 1.00.

A nap might be in order.

I'm thoroughly relishing this afternoons spectacle between two great attacking teams. It's set up to be a marvelous occasion and is sure to be a real nail bitter. I hope we turn up and have our clinical shooting feet on to ensure we net more than them.

I have a feeling Sturridge will start.

Origi can come on late and stretch the game if we need that.

I just feel we need more output from all the players in this game. One of the LFC blogs ran an article showing just how much Origi puts in compared to sturridge off the ball. And with Origi being fairly clinical I can't see Sturridge starting.

Impact off the bench late on, if needed.

It's a great feeling

We're more than capable of beating City. They may have the better players/squad, but we have the better manager

You're dead right Bob.

I feel better now.

[Fosterbloke]

That Adama Traore looks like a real prospect.

Could be 10 points up on 5th.
