KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool vs Man City

you are correct but some cant see it , lets get it right liverpool have more than a decent chance of not winning not saying liverpool cant win but city are a top team and better than liverpool , so put all into sunday and lose then get knocked out on tuesday surely that isnt the right way to put it all in one competition , and that nonsense about medical staff is just unbelievable , loads of footballers play saturday and sunday at a very decent level but highly trained and highly paid footballers cant play play 2 games in a week after a full week of not playing .

Guys relax please, as we ramble on here, King Kenny and his partner in crime Clarke are digging up the meanest plan to win these 2 IMPORTANT fixtures. Heres what I think will happen:

Against City: Same time as last week

Reina
Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique
Kuyt Adam Lucas Maxi
Bellamy Suarez

and two days later against chelsea yet again:

Doni
Kelly Coates Carragher Enrique
Hendersen Lucas Adam Downing

Carroll Kuyt

Bench: Suarez, Maxi, Bellamy, Gerrard??, Skrtel, Reina, Robinson

Now thats what I call a blockbuster bench to choose from when we are not doing well against chelsea, it gives the key players some rest but if needed will be called upon. I think King Kenny and the gang are well capable of defeating both of those big games in 2 days, it will be tough no doubt about it but hard work and committment from all our players could see us through to the next round as well as pick up a few more points to maintain our top 4 momentum.

The ref is M Atkinson again , hes been lucky for us ,we beat arsenal , everton , chelsea and now hopefully City .

does this guy retire when we play utd? how come its always webb

Are you guys serious? Atkinson is far worse then Webb in my opinion. that guy gives red cards to any tough tackle. The best ref for me is Phil Dowd, always seems to be generous when he referees our games.

Well Jim, first of all I'm not sure we should change anything from the Chelsea game. However I feel the best way to approach City at home is to go at them with high tempo and play in behind them, giving them as little time as possible on the ball. Any sort of defensive line up against City, especially with our tendency to leak will be futile, I think. my selection is designed for Kelly and Enrique to overlap with Johnson and Downing to get at the City defense which I see as their weak link. I selected Adam for the odd penetrating pass to Suarez, Bellamy and Carroll. The selection stands or falls on the ability of Kelly and Johnson to bomb forward on the right and Enrique and Downing to do the same on the left and feed good delivery to the front three and also via Adam in the centre. I think a high temop pressing game is the best weapon against City, so if we can get players forward in numbers the likes of Bellamy and Suarez can get behind them and punish them. Of course I am assuming Gerrard is out and that Johnson and Downing would drop deep when under attack.

As already stated the only issue is resting luis. Imo he has to play next 2 then bench him in next game if we HAVE to rotate (which I'm not a fan of as were not in Europe)

same team again i say.adam had a good game and is taking on board that he needs to do better.kenny getting tough on underperformers is good to see. 2 nil to reds.

chelsea are at a very low ebb at the moment best time to play them tonights result has to mean full team at chelsea knock them out give them no in roads to recovery

i cant see us playing 2 full strenght teams in 48 hours, so i reckon players will be rested against chelsea. it is a good time to be playing them tho there in dissarray at the moment
