Think we will do Chelsea again to be honest.
Just can't see Carroll having the confidence to lead the line against city, know he is big but he is not that physical for his size and Suarez would give Kompany far more trouble and turn him inside out.
Think it will be a belter of a match.

I'd be tempted to rest Suarez. We have the cup game on tuesday n the busy winter schedule coming up so need to start squad rotating.
City will plan to keep Suarez quiet. Spring a surprise and let Carroll lead the attack. He does well against city too. ok we all want to win at home against man city , but if liverpool lose or draw against city it wont make any difference to the league positions as most teams will lose to manchester city this season , and today proved one thing it has proved chelsea are very beatable and i mean in the league cup . exactly. so gamble against city at home. and then play the A1 team in the cup against Chelsea. aldo, i didn't see the fall clearly. was wondering if it was a foul. but his ball control was awful. All the more reason perhaps to give him a full game, or at least a start.

I watched first 60 mins of the man city newcastle game - and they werent that hot albeit better than newcastle. Funny thing is mancini is a cagey manager yet they knock in goals this season.
They were passing it around well but werent destroying NFC, think lfc have a chane have to go at them, a cagey defensive performance by lfc will get picked off by MCity. But still need 5 man midfield
same line up, maxi does well at anfield & bellamy deserves chance, henderson sub as fresh legs & ditto for downing
with luck 2-1 win

Yeah I think we should play the same team and line up again next Sunday, I thought we played pretty well today and while Chelsea are not the force they were, they are still formidable, so if it ain't broke don't fix it. We should play a similar type pressing game as today, e.g. for the first goal we had 4 in the box and 2 on the edge of the box, this is the type of play that will get us the goals. I thought Johnson and Adam did themselves proud today, so hope they can carry that form into next sunday.

City are going to be a very hard team to beat, they are the Real Madrid of the premier league. I think if our defensive stays solid, we can have luck against city. I mean we have the best defensive record in the EPL so far. lol your joking right? Anyway I think we are well capable of beating any team in our day and against Chelsea, it was our day, If we can repeat that performance with maximum commitement, I can see us getting the points.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

I mean we have the best defensive record in the EPL so far. That post prompted me to check the league table, and to my utter shock, we actually have the joint-best defence this season with Man City and Newcastle (only 11 goals conceded). We haven't scored anywhere near as many goals though (only 16), which is where we've been falling short in certain games. If we sort our finishing out we'll be flying.

its not just finishing its about the type of playes we have and we cant expect anyone other than suarez and maxi to get us 15+ goals this season...
whereas at city they have no of options....
but if carroll starts firing them in then there wont be any problems...

The problem has been that we've been too wasteful with our finishing. If we can be more ruthless with our finishing then we could start getting more wins on a consistent basis - particularly at home to the 'smaller' sides.

I still don't think we're creating enough good chances, especially at home. It's not all down to poor finishing. maybe not but the chances has been there against united, norwich and swansea. but at the moment we're lacking that clinical finisher in the squad..
