Well, that's always a possibility, but I was surprised that we didn't do that against City who are by far better than Liverpool. I don't expect us to leave acres of space behind our back four, butt I'd be very surprised if we played as defensive as we did vs Arsenal. The only think I worry about vs Liverpool in that we seem to have some sort of mental block against them in the league. Since 2009, they've beaten us in 3 of the 4 matches at the Bridge in the EPL. I trust that Jose will be working on the mental side as well.

Yeah he was very good defensively; had the most interceptions and tackles but more importantly made some vital clearances, but offensively I thought his passing should have been better. Still, good to see him in good form in the past three games. We will need that form to continue against Liverpool.

Well this thread is depressing... Anyway, I was just coming here to say that he had a very good game vs Swansea. Defensively, he was very good and offensively, his passing ability really catches opposition out.

That's not really true. Yes, he held the ball up well, but he was just sooo slow on the ball. So many times he could have created a chance for someone but was just too slow to release the ball and the opportunity was gone. At least Fernando doesn't do that (anymore).

Going by some of the comments in this thread you'd think we're playing Brasil's 1972 team. Liverpool are punching WAY above their weight and wouldn't be near the top four with out Suarez. Mark him out of the team and our squad is better than theirs in every single position. Let's not overrate Liverpool just because City had a terrible game against them especially in defense.

Tbh, I'd much rather that than all the doom and gloom of some other members..

LOOOOOOL And I was one of Socrate's students

Hmm. How long have you had this problem? It's working fine for me:

LOL I actually wrote Scwarzer, but apparently my iPad thinks we're better off playing Arnold there It's not bad suggestion, tbh Maybe he can "terminate" the opponents attacks in midfield ;goober:

Any chance Liverpool pickup a few red cards against City?

I'll join you. Then we can bash Jose when he doesn't start on Sunday!

Mingolet tried to catch it when he could have simply palmed it over. Bad mistake.

Can't possible do worse than the three stooges!

Just magical at times. My MOTM.

Got a bit lucky with the goal but I was very happy about it because when he picked up the ball, I was screaming "Take him on. Play one-on-one" and he won us the game because he did just that.

LOL Mingolet. That was just terrible.

Well CIty's defense it's hardly surprising. Defending like a bunch of school boys.

The only aspect I worry for against Liverpool is the mental one as our results against them have been pretty shit in recent years. If we play defensively as we played against Arsenal, I can't see them creating much, tbh.

Schwarzenegger in the pivot?

That was quick!

Well we really tried our hardest not win that match but it didn't work. I guess I shouldn't be asking for more than 3 points and a clean sheet. Roll on Liverpool.

No, no. I'm pretty sure he's right.

I actually like firstrow because anything with higher quality won't load properly with my slow connection. I guess your problems are my solutions!
