Man City Build Up

[Liverpool]

I think their side looks dysfunctional tbh, ridiculous firepower but we will do them

Good side. Lovren played twice in 48 hours for Croatia and we conceded 1 in 2 games v them last season with Klavan. With Milner here I don't think whoever gets left out between Robbo and Moreno will make the bench much, kinda pointless.

Picture from 2001 . You are a legend in your own name.

I went for Salah as my fantasy (C) so wanted to know for sure if he will start.
With Juergen you never know.

Next time I will call for sure

Why is it that the broadcasters (and even BBC website) can't employed people to actually analyse the game like this.

I'm a broken record, I know, but there's actually a market for a TV programme that tactically dissects teams playing styles.

Monday night football on Sky comes close with its hindsight driven expertise dissecting the weekend's games, but there are no bigger picture programmes around to my knowledge.

He's an excellent journalist, always worth a read.

On a similar theme, had to laugh at Robbie Savage dissing Eamon Dunphy!

Didn't realise Pep was playing up front?

I thought the analysis was a bit off tbh. I think both managers have a similar style, favouring possession football and a high press, but we are more tactically flexible and more direct in the final third.

Stadium still basically empty. Any public traffic delays due to the weather?

[frank the tank]

Our bench looks very strong these days - especially when you consider that Robertson, Coutinho and lallana are still to be back too......

Plus Oxlade-Chamberlain looks like two players!!!

One thing I will say about these new stadia is that they are very efficient at getting people from the bar/food hall into their seats and vice versa.

[Tatterdemalion]

Pretty sure Klavan just handballed when he rolled over in the box there.
EDIT: I'll try the match thread. Thought this thread still looked a little empty...

[Irishnev]

Better than Dejan for me!

I take it all back

United go to Stoke, then home v Everton, away v Saints, then home v Palace before they come here. They're not dropping any points, are they? ****in unbelievable draw.
