Topic: Man City 0-1 Liverpool: (Gerrard, pen) Half time........

[Big Red Richie]

Just asking. Thanks for the kind response.

No probs. 

[Camarero25]

Silva's a major doubt.

Good news. How many is that out for them now?

EDIT: City fan on that thread reckons their team will be:

Hart

Richards Savic* Lescott Clichy

De jong Barry

Johnson Milner Ballotelli

Aguero

*If Kompany's banned

Good news. How many is that out for them now?

Yaya & Kolo Toure. Kompany potentially, Silva? Dzeko and Balotelli were both injured at the weekend?

[eirwen]

I can't open the link. Is Silva injured?

from the link

I've just been hearing that Silva is most likely going to be out of the Liverpool game due to injury...... medical team are doing what they can to aid recovery, but chances are he will miss the tie

I think if you could pick 3 players from that side based on form it would be Kompany, Yaya Toure and David Silva

Can't say I'm massively disappointed

[Camarero25]

The guy who's reporting the Silva news also says that Silva's gone to see his specialist in Spain, so it's looking pretty certain he's out.

hmm that sounds more serious than just a knock. 

[Zlen]

Rapid rise of confidence...

[Adeemo]

These 2 games could be where Andy Carroll's Liverpool career really starts. I just get the feeling things could be falling into place here, 1st he scores an absolute cracker the other night whilst being rested for 80mins and it now looks likely that he's going to have a couple of goes at a City defence with Savic at the heart of it.

[The Jackal]

So if Kompany and Toure are out who do City play alongside Lescott? Maybe move Richards in there, or throw that Serbian kid in? I hope Andy Carroll is licking his lips at those pairings, I know Bellamy will be!!

probably be Savic, though would love it if it was Richards. Absolute liability at centre-back. Doubt mancini would be that stupid.

[scared_person]

I can't see Kompany's red card being overturned.

Yes its stupid that football has gone this way, and the laws of the game do not explicitly state "2 feet= red card" but thats pretty much how refs and the FA are interpreting it nowadays.

He was two footed and he was marginally off the ground. There is enough doubt for the referee's decision to stand.

[pewithree3]

I think it was Silva who got a good kicking by Jones after 25 minutes.
Far side near the half way line and Silva had the ball, stopped from
going up the line by another united player and Jones came in from
behind and booted him across the back off the knees, no attempt to
play the ball.
Referee didn`t do anything about it.

[Dr Manhattan]

Think we might lose the game, so we've got to make sure we don't lose it too heavily as I fancy us to do them at Anfield if we know what we have to get.

Just being realistic, I'd take 2-1 to them right now, a draw would be brilliant, a win would be fucking amazing.

Was it Savic who had blood pissing everywhere go on Andy clatter him he wont want to know after that

There is no better chance than now to beat them. Our defense will have to be good though, can't afford to make silly mistakes like last time.

yep. that was him.

We also need to take our fucking chances, for once.

Think that was Aguero mate.

Ref is Lee Mason apparently. Oh joy.. 

[Azi]

CC semi 1st leg #MCFC v #LFC - Referee is Lee Mason, assistants are Darren Cann and Andy Halliday, 4th official is Michael Oliver.

[Azi]

Ref is Lee Mason apparently. Oh joy.. 

is there any ref we would be happy with ?

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Shit

[eirwen]

to be honest I'm not sure which good ref is left.

If we get a draw I'd be made up.

2-1 maybe we'd have a chance. A loss without us scoring? That would be us done.

Hope the lads have their shooting boots on.

Not the greatest ref, but certainly by no means the worst.

[The Jackal]

usually don't mind Marriner. halsey's generally ok, and I don't hate Dowd as much as I used to..

[El_Pistolero]

The lad we had against Wigan, I think. He wasn't perfect but y'know.

[KiNki]

Lee Mason, of bolton, gtr manchester.   Super.

[jediwarrior]

Got a feeling we will win this 1 or 2 nil. Just things going against City at the moment and hopefully still feeling the affects from Sunday chasing a game for 80 mins with 10 men.

biggest 'homer' going. easily influenced by the crowd - I've seen him send players off when he hasn't even seent he incident based on crowd/ player reaction. shocking ref.

[Chakan]

Lee Mason. FML

[Bangin Them In]

Doesn't matter about the ref, Man Cittee have no players now as generally they are African or banned, except for Silva who is generally known to be too short

1-2 to us

[exiledintheUSA]

Lee Mason. FML

Not the greatest but better than who it could have been.

The problem is there are only really 1 or 2 refs where we would all be happy with. Sad state of affairs really.

Very sad, I would imagine that is true for a majority of clubs too.

that doesn't necessarily invalidate my point..

No I know, just adding a few stats relating to what'd you'd posted.
