Have a feeling this will be OGS last match (Everton/Manure) in-charge...
It won't happen yet as manure won!

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I think will be Man City 0 - Liverpool 3. Their main threat will be Raheem Sterling. They do not have a recognised striker for now while our strikers are all injury free.

Man City 1 - Liverpool 3

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Very bullish there bro, fingers crossed you are right.

On City's recognised strikers, thought Jesus is now fit?

Personally think this is going to be another tough tricky one as City will probably go for it. Pity Thiago still ain't fit.

My team selection: Alisson, TAA, Phillips, Gomez, Robertson, Gini, Hendo, Keita, Mane, Firmino, Salah.

I know there is a very strong argument for Jota, quite rightly too but we need to limit the amount of the City midfield possession, in particular KDB needs to be neutralised and in this respect Firmino helps us to do this, hence Keita in selection as well. If Klopp thinks Matip is ready then he plays instead of Phillips.

Oh yeah, should we draw or lose, I will demand a recount, so technically the game might not be decided for several months :D

Come on you Reds!

Here are some reasons why I think a 3-0 win is possible. But for this scoreline to be possible, we need to score the 2nd goal within 15 mins of the first goal. Man City has a mental block when they concede goals in quick succession.

1. Home advantage is not much when it is an empty stadium. We won 5-0 away in Italy, 2-0 away in Chelsea. Playing away without a hostile crowd works for us.

2. Man City is not as free scoring this season. Their 3 top scorers are Sterling (5), Torres (4), Foden (3). Our top 3 scorers are Salah (9), Jota (7), Mane (5). Our strikers are almost all on form. They scored 9 goals while we had scored 17 goals in the PL so far.

3. Even though we drew 1 and lost 1 so far, these are games played when Adrian is goalkeeper. Adrian conceded 8 goals in these 2 goals. Under Allisson, we are really more stable at the back. Has Man City really solved their defensive issues? Plus, our front 3 will help out in pressing and defence. Their front 3 may not help out in defending.

4. I saw something different in our last match. I actually don't know who is playing in the middle. Sometimes, it is Salah, then Jota. As a CB, who do you mark? If Firmino plays, normally he is in the middle. That makes it easier for opposing CB. I think Bobby will play some part but unlikely play the full 90 mins.

5. Then normally the opponents will line up their back 4 using our last attacker as a gauge. So if their back 4 stands in line with Salah, what I saw is Jota will stand 2-3 metres behind the offside line. Once he gets the ball and start running, the CB have to catch up with him from a standing start. Not easy. Sometimes it is Mane who will be in line with the back 4 while Salah and Jota stand 2-3 metres behind the offside line. Given how speedy all 3 are, the way they take turns to play with opponent's set up of the offside line is scary.

6. We are an unusual side. When teams concede a corner, their opponents see it as a chance to try to score a goal. When Liverpool concedes a corner, opponents are scared we will use the corner as a way to counter attack. So many of our guys can run like crazy during a counter attack. :D The way we concede a corner is like how Wechat sex scams work. We bluff you to go to a place (our penalty box) with false promises (scoring from a corner) then cheat your feelings (with a sucker punch counter attack). So once bitten (conceding from a counter attack), when Liverpool concedes the next corner, teams have a is it another wechat sex scam again where you invite me to a place (your penalty box) with false promises and then sucker punch me again?? :p

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Salah scores from the spot kick to give Liverpool 1 up!!!!

Foul by Walker on Mane in the box.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

1-0 up. Hopefully we can score the 2nd goal within the next 15 mins.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

3-0 a bit too ambitious... :D
Doubt Pool can even win it tonight! The attack is weak so far.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

excellent 1st half by both sides with plenty of intensity and chances created.
