Man City vs Liverpool

The Arsenal score makes this game even bigger. City win will put us top by a point. Can't pass that up.

25 minutes left. Don't count on the Hammers not wilting.

Edit: There's 1...

We're gonna get hammered.

jesus_thats_gre · 26-12-2013 4:32pm

Jesus Christ, virtually every time we get excited about another teams result going in our favour....... If we keep winning, we will be fine. That is all we need to focus on.

TEAM NEWS: Hart, Zabaleta, Lescott, Kompany (C), Kolarov, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva, Negredo, Navas

Surprise surprise, Zaba's back!

Demichelis and Clichy out for Lescott and Lolarov. Silva, Nasri and Navas all start, Negredo up front alone. Hart stays in goal.

Good team

Utopia Parkway · 26-12-2013 4:35pm

Miraculous recovery from Zabaleta I see.

I am pie · 26-12-2013 4:36pm

Draw would be marvellous, a win would be our best result in years. Cant see it, city are an attacking whirlwind at home and cisso does not inspire!

mike65 · 26-12-2013 4:36pm

Liverpool Subs: Jones, Toure, Agger, Alberto, Aspas, Moses, Smith. That's Brad Smith a left back for those wondering.

Had suspected it was going to happen, Pellegrini was being so coy about his and Aguero's fitness. Not much of an actor, wouldn't make it into the Christmas panto

klose · 26-12-2013 4:39pm

Cannot believe cissokho is playing, rodgers with another mind boggler of a selection.

billy2012 · 26-12-2013 4:40pm

Zabaletta back for them is huge, was alos hoping Toure wasn't going to make it!!

Still think we can get a result but we need to be at our very best!!

Milkers · 26-12-2013 4:40pm

Flanagan and Kelly must both be injured. This is not good.

It's pretty obvious from the bench he had no choice.

26-12-2013 4:42pm

Cissokko is a joker.

City to stroll to victory

All for calling something out when it makes sense but the bench suggests he has no other choice..

Kelly at rb and johsnon at lb seemd the obvious, kell has been playing lately. Yet he plays a lad whos been sitting in the stands for the last few weeks? Maddness. Hope im proved wrong obviously

Demichelis picked up a knock in training yesterday, that might have been the source of the rumour!

Utopia Parkway · 26-12-2013 4:43pm

Less confident from a Liverpool perspective after seeing the teams. Flanagan injured and Cissokho starting for Liverpool. Zabaleta unexpectedly starting for City and Demichelis dropped. All moves that are bad for Liverpool and good for City.

Same was said about Flanagan. Cissokho has been awful but Rodgers didn't have many options. No point in writing him off before a ball has been kicked (I hope i'm right and he does a job)

Brad Smith is on the bench, hopefully he gets a run too

Turtyturd · 26-12-2013 4:44pm

'The Rodgers' obviously going for the win...starting the goal machine Cissokho.

Will I Amnt · 26-12-2013 4:52pm

It's been a fairly hectic day in the EPL today, plenty of goals, comebacks, red cards and late winners.

This better deliver :pac:

How is it a mind boggling decision if he has no other left backs?

For **** sake the man (Rodgers) just cant catch a break with some supporters.

Grayditch · 26-12-2013 5:02pm

Not much more a risk of Cissokho on the left than Kelly on the right. I wouldn't call it mental, or anything. Neither are ideal.

No Kelly on the bench would also show Rodgers had no other left backs available. Brad Smith is in the squad.

Hi folks, I've already posted in stream request thread, but got no response. If anyone has a stream for the game can they please pm it? Sick of not being able to use my BT sub online!

Enrique is injured, Flanagan is injured, and Kelly took a knock in training. Who exactly should Rodgers have picked over Cissokho ( a natural left back) for a less mind boggling selection? Should he have played a centre back at left back maybe?

pebbles21 · 26-12-2013 5:06pm

You would be a "nutjob" to ask for one

What's up with Kelly? Starting to sound like it wasn't a choice at all, now.

Red Crow · 26-12-2013 5:07pm

Take Suarez out and you'd be all over City as the rest of that Liverpool side is very average.

3-1 City still tho'

He's probably broken again. He's always broken.

Can only assume another injury

Haha. I like this chap.

murpho999 · 26-12-2013 5:20pm

Great test for Liverpool today.

Any result here and Top 4 is a definite reality for them.

A win then they are showing their title credentials.

Confidence and Suarez could take them far in this game but interesting to see how they react to have less possession than other games.
