Topic: MATCH PREVIEW - Liverpool v Manchester City - 10 March 2024, 15:45 - Sky Sports

Nervous about this. Good nervous. I can’t wait to see what team we play and if we will win. Obviously any result is possible, but I’m thinking/hoping that the home crowd, and the desire of all the players who pull on that jersey, will see us home with three points.

Not sure if Salah and Szoboszlai start. Rusty, but great players. Will they give us 60 mins? Will one come off the bench?

I suspect Darwin Nunez will have a big game. That fella is coming to the boil. I would love it if he has a big game and is the difference.

[classycarra]

We have a game to win tomorrow.  Winners don't make excuses (especially beforehand LOL).

i know there's a lot of injuries, but I don't think Coolie High is gonna get a game!

[Paul_h]

So glad SoBoss and Mo are back for this,

[MonsLibpool]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

We can either go and win the game or feel sorry for ourselves because we can't field our best 11. I know which one I'd pick...

Can't even remember a time we've picked our best 11

Was the last time the final in Madrid 2019?!

That's football. We've not played our beat 11 once this year (I consider a fit Thiago part of it because he's class).

Even with all our injuries, I said in the build-up to the Chelsea game that I'd be disappointed if we lost because they are a midtable team.

[Samie]

To win the title we have to win here.  A draw I fear won't be good enough.

[the_red_pill]

Foden worries me the most , he seems unplayable at the moment and always seems to do well against us the c*nt !

Yeah, I'm not really that concerned about anyone else in their squad, except that fucker.
It's always the supporting acts that perform in the top matches. He'll be good against us as he's always been. Haaland will be well marshalled so he'll be no problem.
I can see Gakpo and Darwin doing well here- Gakpo's late runs are perfect for this game.
Jota and Mo will be kept busy, so I don't expect them to be at their best.

Jota?

[the_red_pill]

Jota?

Isn't he back for this match?
EDIT: Aahh shit. Anyway, that's 1 out of 4 unavailable. We're good upfront. Not sure if Mo will last the 90, but if he scores early, he'll have done well.

Shame. Could've really done with Jota though..

[duvva 💅]

Isn't he back for this match?

Not back till Sometime in April. You thinking of Szoboszlai?

[spider-neil]

Only a win takes Liverpool back to the top of the table and keeps the league completely in their own hands.

[johnny74]

My sense is that we'll dominate and score a couple in the first 50 min but they will start to come back in, adust and then really turn the screw, get a couple back and then it's a toss up what happens at the end 3-2 one way or the other.

[Nick110581]

If Jurgen’s told Salah can’t do 90 minutes tomorrow then I’d rather see him finish the game then start it.

Just don’t know who plays if he doesn’t. There’s a shit tonne of minutes in Gakpo and Elliot’s legs.

Would he be told that ?

Mo isn’t going say he can’t knowing how competitive he is.

[QC]

Win and it should be fairly clear waters to the title

[jckliew]

LET'S DO IT REDS! YNWA!

[harleydanger]

Only a win takes Liverpool back to the top of the table and keeps the league completely in their own hands.

I actually think the league goes to the last team of us three to drop points this year

[Nick110581]

A draw today means that would be Arsenal.

They could be third after the next gameweek.

[jckliew]

Can't find the lad who tweeted this earlier but;

A win tomorrow against City and a win at home after the break vs Brighton puts us 7 points clear of City and 5 clear of Arsenal before they face off against each other with 9 games to go.

If I didn't feel sick before...I do now 

I like this. So crucial we win today.

[Thomas]

Just win, turn up and win. Thank you.

[spider-neil]

This is such a major game because if Arsenal beat City there would be nothing we could do to affect them. Unless the game is a draw and then we would have to outscore them in the run-in.

Arsenal aren't going to win 20 matches in a row. They will drop points even if they get a result against City.

[mullyred94]

3-1

Salah double and Darwin.

Come on lads

Think that's grasping at straws, but... I'll take it

I expect to see Harvey start on the right, doing 100mins of running in 65 and then Salah to come off the bench for the last half hour.

Let's see if he's on the walk this morning.

I see people saying this but don’t really get it …. A draw keeps us ahead of city and Arsenal have the hardest fixture list - it gives us a great chance to win it
This is a must not lose not a must win

[Cafe De Paris]

I heard that mongrel Gallagher on the radio. He seems to be the mouthpiece for the sportswashers. Him and his brain dead brother who are still living off their success in the 90’s. He is an absolute bell end.
Please red men, please please beat these bunch of @‘@¥5….. (too early to swear on a Sunday).

We don't have to win but that should be our mentality because we'd be in a very good position if we won the next 2.

We're at home and if you want to win the league,  you have to be going into every home game to win. It would be different if we were away at City.

Think Elliott would start over Dom rather than Mo.

[zero zero]

Who would you say is the front three? Gakpo, Nunez, Diaz?

[Nick110581]

Thats like the game in the run in of 2014. We were 2 - 0 up at half time, think Sterling scored our 2nd. Then they dominated for 20 mins in the 2nd half and got it back to 2 - 2. Coutinho got the winner around 82 mins, Hendo sent off in injury time.

[classycarra]

I would start Mo.

you've kept that quiet

[amir87]

Would he be told that ?

Mo isn’t going say he can’t knowing how competitive he is.

It would be the medical staff, not Salah himself.

[spider-neil]

I would start Mo.

I think he will start on the bench with Dom starting the game. If Gakpo starts the game he should start on the right and hopefully, he can perform in the position he excelled in for his former club.

Milner came in for them and changed the game in second half :-)

[Anfield Kopite]

Yes he did. Really thought we had it when the final whistle went. Bastards.

[jillcwhomever]

This is an excellent article from Miguel Delaney sets the context perfectly.

Yeah I’m sure we play every game to win - doesn’t change a draw being a good result and a better one for us than them
