Think Henderson should have been pushed into midfield with Philips in at CB instead. Davies isn't even on the bench.

He's injured. Out for 2 months.

BorneTobyWilde · 07-02-2021 4:55pm

That's the strongest possible team.

mada999 · 07-02-2021 4:57pm

bit gutted that he didnt start one of the new attackers....City are going for it...

hopefully we can do it

I would disagree.
I would say Phillips in defence with Henderson in midfield would be stronger.

theoneeyedman · 07-02-2021 4:59pm

I'll miss Gomez today.

I love him against City, always had the mark on Sterling in particular, put the fear of God into him with a big early tackle at or over the edge, who's going to do it today???

Glad Jones is starting, and of course Mane. Need him stretching the defence. City wil look to bore us to death with keep ball.

Thought Gomez got a bad roasting from Sterling last April or May although Liverpool players were probably still hungover

MAybe you're right
Klopp doesn't trust Philips it seems, although I've never seen him put a foot wrong, I've only ever seen him do right.

Surprised that injury update didn't get a thank!

07-02-2021 5:03pm

I'm loving our midfield.

BorneTobyWilde · 07-02-2021 5:04pm

Main worry is bench. Nothing on it in way of getting a goal if we need it. Best is Locksmith Luscious Locks, we need a proper No9 on the bench, a Vardy, a Suarez, a Fowler .

yourdeadwright · 07-02-2021 5:13pm

City will dominate midfeild huge mistake not starting a ne wlad and having Henderson in the midfeild

Enzokk · 07-02-2021 5:15pm

Couple of things, Laporte not getting a match when him missing last year was the reason they lost the league is funny.

Also, if we do lose Klopp has already sown the doubt by saying City had that Covid break...there is no way to disprove it and if they win it will only enhance Klopp's point. What a way to troll City really.

Ken Tucky · 07-02-2021 5:15pm

Going to enjoy this. Nothing getting broken in the house today...
Backs to the wall stuff. Any positive result will be welcome today

Davies I reckon is cover for the cover until VVD & Gomez are back.

marklazarcovic · 07-02-2021 5:20pm

It really will be remarkable if we finish top 4 comfortably..even if we beat city they will win the title by 10+ points imo.. far better chance of winning champions League i feel,with one of games a possibility too.

happyoutscan · 07-02-2021 5:20pm

Really looking forward to this as well. Anything could happen.

Not sure it will be a midfield battle. I see an open game, wingbacks, and fast transitions from midfield to forwards.
Of course City could look at the blueprint of Burnley's and Brightons success, and play differently to surprise us. Not Pep#s style to adapt to anyone though.

Win
Draw

Narrowed that for you

Hopefully the middle one

kingshankly · 07-02-2021 5:32pm

Can we please refrain from complaining about commentators and co commentators please makes it easier 😂😂

Harry Palmr · 07-02-2021 5:33pm

Thiago reducer!

Vicxas · 07-02-2021 5:33pm

There was nothing in that tackle

cmac2009 · 07-02-2021 5:33pm

Never a booking ffs.

Harry Palmr · 07-02-2021 5:34pm

He is getting a reputation for it at this stage. Needs to box clever.

happyoutscan · 07-02-2021 5:34pm

Making a meal of this. Barely rolled his ankle.

koppy · 07-02-2021 5:34pm

Shocking tackler. 3 mins in and on a yellow already

paulie21 · 07-02-2021 5:34pm

Gundogan lying down made sure Thiago got that yellow

Soft yellow.

pm1977x · 07-02-2021 5:38pm

Ederson kicks it to Mane and somehow we end up with the ball back at our GK's feet, sums up our recent lack of incision and aggression going forward.

doc_17 · 07-02-2021 5:38pm

Henderson with a big long ball to Mane who is being marked by Stones and Dias...

BorneTobyWilde · 07-02-2021 5:44pm

hate when we let them regroup, instead of trying to hurt them fast when we do win it high up the field.

BorneTobyWilde · 07-02-2021 5:45pm

Great work by Jenie

Vicxas · 07-02-2021 5:46pm

Gini, that was class

yourdeadwright · 07-02-2021 5:46pm

Midfield not dogged enough
We aren't winning the ball back enough

machiavellianme · 07-02-2021 5:47pm

As each game goes by, I'm liking Thiago less. Really struggling to see what he offers?
I don't think he makes our first 11 over Jordan, Gini or Fab if everyone was fit.

Harry Palmr · 07-02-2021 5:48pm

You can see how one sided Hendo is in CB, I'd nearly switch them

machiavellianme · 07-02-2021 5:49pm

True but Fab is winning a few headers on the other side that I'm not sure Jordan would

machiavellianme · 07-02-2021 5:51pm

Great run by Gini to go 4v4 then stops and let's city get an 8v4.

Same outcome on probably three occasions now.

We play our best when we go full hell for leather.

BorneTobyWilde · 07-02-2021 5:52pm

You can see the fear of getting hit on the break. We're going forward, should be committing, but then play it back, and retreat.

Vicxas · 07-02-2021 5:52pm

Lung busting run by Gini and then it just dies off..

FFS

D'Agger · 07-02-2021 5:53pm

Amazing run by Gini aaaaaaand back to Ali within 5 seconds...what in the actual fúck

Knex* · 07-02-2021 5:53pm

Jones with a great recovery in our own box there, but hasn't been super on the ball.

Mad how much the defensive side of his play has come on for a lad who was billed originally as a number 10 style player.

yourdeadwright · 07-02-2021 5:53pm

Playing with the hand brake on here

BorneTobyWilde · 07-02-2021 5:54pm

So close, Mane

kingshankly · 07-02-2021 5:54pm

Thiago stinking the place out

Utopia Parkway · 07-02-2021 5:54pm

Not a great start but decent chance for Mane.

Harry Palmr · 07-02-2021 5:56pm

OOOOOOOOOF, Should have been a goal for Mane. Decent work by TAA to put that across

Charlie19 · 07-02-2021 5:56pm

Should be hitting the target from that position.

facehugger99 · 07-02-2021 5:56pm

Feels like both teams would take a 0-0 right now.

Terribly frustrating to watch.

We need to be willing to lose this game if we're going to win it.

citytillidie · 07-02-2021 5:56pm

Sterling throwing himself to the floor lol
