I'm already asking; where is my mind...

Shaque attack

the missus thinks i'm going insane the way i've been going about the house this morning, log onto boards and see everyone else is just as agitated/excited/etc. all is well in the world.

Think we'll go 2-0 up inside 20 min, they claw one back before half and who knows after that.

come on the pool!

10 mins until coverage starts on Sky.

I'm equally nervous/excited, but I think nervous will take over entirely by 13:37.

Well, I've been pretty much avoiding the gravity of the situation at hand all week, but there's no hiding from it now. I'm caught up in the build up and as agitated as I have ever been as a Liverpool fan.

Lets dance.

If the players are imbued with just a few ounces of the strength, steel and determination he Hillsborough families displayed in their search for justice I've no doubt we'll be okay as far as the scoreboard goes.

This is just a football match, enormous though it may be. We all get to go home after win, lose or draw.

I've a feeling we try and use the atmosphere and everything about the occasion, to come out and hit City before they even know where they are. Similar to Arsenal and Everton. Think that we might go with the 4-3-3, Coutinho and Sterling starting.

Could be our downfall, but I have a hunch we go for it.

I can't breath properly, how do the players cope?

I've just realised that Sunday coverage is always broadcast from the second venue. Surely Sky will present from Anfield today with all that's happening instead of Swansea? We'll find out in a few mins though I guess.

I hope Liverpool go for it, win or lose. I think we will.

Carragher and Geoff Shreeves are at Anfield, they were on GOS about ten mins ago

Were currently on 99 goals for the season!!!

No Agger could be as crucial as no Kompany.

Watching the team bus arrive at Anfield on SSN was immense. The crowd are pumped. I'm a bit drunk. Really looking forward to this now.

Hopefully we start like we did against Arsenal....hopefully we don't get Arsenal'd.

Aguero on bench I'm hearing? Any confirmation?

Edit: Kompany starts, Aguero doesn't.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Toure, Fernandinho, Navas, Nasri, Silva, Dzeko

All those mind games with Kompany eh

Knew well Kompany would play

googled eyes

Classy from City


Kompany plays and Aguero on the bench !

5starpool

City have a stupidly strong bench.

kfallon

Random fact......all Liverpool subs today have 5 letters in their surname

Jesus I need to get out more

citytillidie

Man city to present flowers before the game and Celtic to do it at half time

5starpool

I think the only outcome that will see me not cry today is a draw.

Rayne Wooney

Counter attacking team from City is probably the best way to go against Pool, Aguero for Dzeko is the only change I would make

If City are organised and cut the supply to the strikers and counter quickly I think they will win, if they don't you won't need to ask Liverpool twice to score a few goals

Been looking forward to this game

klose

Will be intersting to see if its a 433 or diamond. Carra reitterating aggers weakness at set pieces is pretty telling.

Good bench

blueser

Good to see City remembering those who are no longer with us. They've taken out a full page in today's match programme;



Damn; beaten to it!

Lapin

My nerves are shot already.

Alfred Borden

Dont think that looks good for Kompany. Definite not 100%.

Come on City.

Hope everything is ok. Puts it into perspective.

No wonder City's bench is so strong, it cost more than the Liverpool first XI

Horrific.

I feel a user name change is in order for poor old Mars Bar here, after seeing that :pac:
