Benjamin Mendy left out of the squad for "tactical reasons".

Not sure what kind of full back Angelino is, but not playing Mendy suggests they are going to be more cautious ala last season at Anfield.

We can easily get at that backline.

if we can get to their backline. looks at tactical fouls.

their bench is pretty solid if they need any changes though.

lets just hope we fucking smash em.

Watching the Wolves Villa game in the pub, and they just actually had a separate "coach watch" screen?

Interesting the bookies make Man City favourites, not often that happens at home.

Yeah, slight, but I’m a little surprised at that. Maybe just they need the win a little more, where as a draw suits us a little more?

Expected team I guess. Hopefully we get the result. I'll never feel comfortable with lovren, I just dont think hes good at all. Also imo
henderson has been awful the whole season, last weeks performance was the probably the first I've seen in a while. But as always
I back the team so today, I also back them and hope they and the team but in a great performance,

Glad you're not the manager, as Klopp understands football...

Can't expect a £52m fullback to offer tactical flexibility or game intelligence, makes their injury crisis even worse when you consider all the tactically injured players.

Scott Carson on the bench for city.

I think he’s the worst goalkeeper I’ve ever seen play for Liverpool.

Team as expected, let's keep calm and play our natural game and go at them. If we push them hard imo they will crumble. If we let them dictate then it will be hard for us.

Big chance for us, let's take advantage.

COMON U REDMEN!!!

keyop · « **Reply #534 on:** November 10, 2019, 03:44:07 pm »

So they have a keeper that's played a grand total of 3 premier league games in the last 3 seasons, no Laporte, a 34 year-old as the lynchpin of their defence, a left-back who's played 3 times for them, a defensive midfielder straight back from injury, and a bench that's weaker than ours.

Game on

Red Beret · « **Reply #535 on:** November 10, 2019, 03:44:22 pm »

Predicting 3-1 to use. Reckon we go a couple of goals up in the first half. They pull one back early second half, leading to a nervy 20-25 minutes until we score a third around 80-85 minutes as they push for an equaliser.

Bricking it now mind!

No Cancelo or Mendy starting, after they'd been starting in the past few games.

No Mendy means drastically reduced chances of Sterling doing well will drag him out wide more and away from the box as there won't be as much width without Mendy

The Liverpool FC starting 11 we would of expected, good options off the bench if they are needed. Come on the mighty reds!!!

That’s fine

But Let’s just keep the slaying of their players to ones who wont be playing

Just hope bravo doesn’t get sent and Carson comes in and puts in some freakish Tomacevski performance (old reference)

Is'nt Angelino is an attacking fullback? Thought he had a reputation as one but not so great defensively.

tommy LFC · « **Reply #547 on:** November 10, 2019, 03:54:50 pm »

How much did Cancelo cost again?

I’d rather be facing Angelina than him, but there must be something behind the scenes.

That's what they call him cos he let in so many goals in Pep's 1st season.

Starting XI I expected. City's have a dodgy back 5. Their entire defence is mistake riddled. Weve gotta take our chances.

Gutzon Borglum · « **Reply #554 on:** November 10, 2019, 03:59:59 pm »

We are the better side on paper, we have more on the bench, we're at home and we have been making a habit of scoring late winners recently.

Dont see how we lose this, and if we play anywhere near our best we will take the 3 points.

Never have I felt so confident going into such a big game.

A lot fewer touches in the box and further out wide per heatmaps for Sterling for when Zinchenko or Angelino plays versus Mendy I know because I researched it for fantasy purposes
