How much money would be adequate compensation for not winning this game?
Anyone else feel Luis might be overdue to score a worldie, and that if there was any match he'd save it for, it'd be this one...?
If you want any kind of example of the difference a ground can make to a football result look no further than the Vincente Calderon stadium last night... It made the hairs on your neck stand up and after the game the manager and several players said the noise in the ground carried them over the line when they were dead on their feet....The whole world will be watching this game on Sunday and they will witness passion, noise and emotion never witnessed at a premier league game before......I don't just mean the Kop either. The whole ground is going to be shaking to its foundations at 3.07pm.......The time is now.
Defending deep and hitting them on the break? Because that is what AM were doing.
I won't bother with tactics, a starting eleven or whatever. I just wanted to say, that I have no doubt that we will win the league, if we beat City on Saturday. That said, I am 100 percent sure that we will win that game. Can't wait for Saturday...
I know you don't have an eye for detail but you should read the thread title.
He says " i have no doubt that we will win the league if we beat city on Saturday. "
Any idea what the Mosaic is going to be on Sunday? I assume it's Hillsborough related.Cheers
Just imagine this was a European tie - and we'd lost the first leg 2-1 at their place. Does anybody doubt that we'd smash them and go through. No.
I hope we play Sterling on the wing...if we can keep Kolarov and Zabaleta pinned back I'm confident that Henderson and Gerrard will dominate Yaya. That's the key areas for me.
They say winning isn't everything, it's the only thing but in those dark days our character is what kept this club so strong. It will be our character that will shape our destiny and no one doubts where this road will take us.
I don't think that will be Rodgers approach. I think he'll let their fullbacks get forward. I think he'll be willing to concede the wide areas if he can get Suarez and Sturridge 2v2 against City's centre backs when we win the ball back. Not really our usual way to approach a game at home but i think that's how he'll play it. I'm almost always wrong though.
Did Anyone check out bluemoon topics? Wanna learn their thoughts about this game
I've just had a watch of our last 4 encounters against City. We seem to find it quite easy to break down their defense and create chances. I still can't believe we walked away from Etihad without at least a point in our last game (that Sterling miss from the Suarez cross ). We also seem to find it hard to keep hold of leads (or at least increase the margins) as we seem to have dropped points from a leading position in each of our last 4 games against them. We also have a maddening tendancy to gift them goals (Tevez from a Skrtel mistake, and Agüero from a Reina mistake) and twice they've equalised via a Kompany header from a corner.I think if we can tighten up a little defensively (especially from corners), and limit/avoid silly game changing mistakes, we should enjoy a pretty one-sided outcome. I'm predicting a 3-1 win for us
Dippers, dippers, dippers, Brenda, typical Scousers, they're better in every position, etc. etc. I really don't mind most City fans, and I need to stay away from that forum to keep that point of view.
not nervous in the slightest. we're so ruthless at home, and their defence is so erratic, i think we'll win this convincingly enough that the goal difference advantage will be ours by sunday afternoon.
