Manchester City vs. Liverpool Match Thread 20.00 KO

Xavi6

Jimmy Milner looks good in blue

Iago

1-1 or 2-1 imo.

Would obv prefer a 1-1, but 2-1 with Tevez as first scorer pays out better so I'll settle for that

This could potentially be a great game with both teams wanting to stake an early marker for their intentions for the season.

I think the 442 could really work well for Liverpool if they can get Gerrard on the ball and with some space, of course City are set up to prevent it happening but lets hope it doesn't choke the life out of the game.

I know they're defensive but De Jong and Yaya are also talented would it still not be a waste of talent if they were on the bench!?

I'm referring to the lack of attacking talent tbh

And they'd get the treatment if they refused to play while holding out for a move. Mascherano will be lauded in some corners despite this by the same fans who would lynch one of City's many mercenaries, which was my point.

Excellent post.

You've said something that the majority of Liverpool fans won't agree with though, so prepare for the wrath of 'Mr Alan' and 'mike65' :rolleyes:

Sir Gallagher

Does anybody know what sopcast channel the match is on?

Why's that?

I commented about a player having total disrespect for a club but not getting any grief from that clubs supporters over said disrespect.

I have a right to comment just as much as you do. If you disagree with my comment I'd like to hear some 'value or insight' from you as to why exactly you disagree.

Stop trying to change the subject.

Mascherano obviously has no respect for Liverpool and it is strange that the clubs fans still seem to think he's a legend.

Just coz noone on here gives a **** about sunderland doesnt mean u have to spend ur time trying to wind up opposition fans. You don't like Liverpool, we get it.

eagle eye

I expect a real big performance from Liverpool and I think they might just take it.

Your paranoia over comments made about Liverpool is lovely too.

Xavi6

Here we go....

Enjoy!

Gonzovision

I bet this thread ends up more interesting than the match

Gerty

I do be worried that city will press us too much in our half and we won't be able to handle it.

Xavi6

Milner on the left by the looks of it

KevIRL

Liverpool really missing Mascherano here.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Torres should have looked up and passed it out to Kuyt, would have had a much better chance. A yellow alread for that, bit of a joke that.

Xavi6

Yellow already. Lovely.

ntlbell

never a yellow ffs, first tackle of the game, hope the ref is not out to ruin this

JohnnyRyan99

Joeleen!!!! STOP TRYING TO PLAY SOCCER!!

Inverted wingers are the new DMCs.

Thanx 4 The Fish

That was never a free either, Johnson kicked him and fell over.

eagle eye

Liverpool looking really good in transition, very impressive.

Milner can play with both feet

Thanx 4 The Fish

Jaysus, great effort that.

Xavi6

That was some hit. Unlucky AJ

He said he doesn't want to play on the wing. it's not his best position.

Washington Irving

Made in Villa!

Get in there:D:D

Barry gives City the lead

Thanx 4 The Fish

What an awful start for the pool. Yay looked good in the move mind.

adox

Lovely goal. Great ball by AJ.

GLaDOS

Good goal for a defensive midfielder eh?

everdead.ie

Way too easy for city

KittyeeTrix

Beautiful pass by AJ!!!

Peyton Manning

Rafa's fault tbh. Should have signed Barry when he had the chance.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Shocking marking in the middle for the pool. Carra just left him.

therokerroar

Great goal, well done City.

Hopefully Mancini will have Barry at least try and get forward rather than play as an out and out DMC.. In fairness in a few of our pre season games it did look like he was tryin to get Barry to play higher up, leading to Barry scoring against Valencia

:D:D

KittyeeTrix

Jaysus, thought we were away again!!!!!!:)

ntlbell

gotta baaaaaaaaaad feeling

Kess73

An extra spring in City's play now.
