Liverpool vs Manchester City - CL Last 8 (1st Leg)

[McDermotX]

KDB etc rested for Tues.....4 changes in total for them including Walker and Laporte
Ageuro on bench as well

[Buzzo]

Quite a strong lineup from them.

You could argue that Walker and Laporte were dropped

Still a few heads out there that you wouldn't mind getting ****ed up in the tackle.

And Sterling. Just because.

[Chris]

Probably the one occasion I won't be annoyed to see that cunt Ander Herrera trying to break legs.

[Buzzo]

I don’t see a bad result for us in the Manc derby.

City win and surely they will have media commitments etc that will take their eye away from Tuesday for a few more hours.

Whilst all this is going on our lot are resting up.

I'm on the more pessimistic side of things......They win today and they're 'free' to play and go for it Tues. Lose and they become unfocused......Can't have a Utd win though.
Hard-fought draw with a few injuries for me today

[McDermotX]

One up now

[dom9]

Tidy second goal too.

Personally don't see city winning today freeing them up on Tuesday. The title is when not if. The pressure for them is still to go deep in the CL and quarter finals is not deep enough

[McDermotX]

Personally I'd rather they not have the bonus of a confidence-boosting hammering of their local rivals.........which looks increasingly likely.

Frame of mind will be key on Tuesday for both us and them.

[frank the tank]

I'm ****ting Tuesday now. 3 up and I'm nervous as ****....

Yeah, then they walk out of the tunnel next to a team that's beat them twice in a row. Stop being such a ****house.

Wouldn't say I'm nervous as such......I see this tie as a straight shootout between two freescoring sides, which is why i dont think the away goals are as major as people think, in the sense that we are just as capable of doing what we done the other night in their ground. Point is they didn't.

Conversely, they are well capable of grabbing a couple of quick goals in succession.

It's not done by any means, but I'd expect us to win overall AND score there.

[McDermotX]

Stepped out and came back to find it was 2-2, which is exactly what we ****ing want.

Utd ahead now, but while not ideal, it's still ****ing gravy for how it'll affect City.

Nice hard game.......in fact, a loss of this sort will actually increase the questions around their mentality ahead of our game.

[dom9]

6 goals conceded in 2 games.

If you attack City, they are vulnerable.
