arsenak and swansea together had one shot on target in 180 minutes of football. i think soton too had 1 shot on target against us. all this one touch football that was played yesterday was mainly cos they were given space to play that. we would have 9 men behind the ball and ready to counter their full backs.

very confident about this game.

Certainly, mistake was made, disallowed goal, then. However, one cannot forget, Aguero is injured, their best player. What would Liverpool be without Suarez ? At least, 10 points lower.

Currently, Liverpool plays, simple, counter attack & Suarez is scoring. Just watch out for them on 29th.

We just need to tie down suarez. The rest of their players are on the same level with our strikers when it comes to finishing chances

Just Suarez & how do you propose to do it ?

Mancity did it. As long as suarez is not the one getting the clear chances, we have a chance.

Highlights: we currently are ninth in the league in Shots on Target Percentage (SOT%). We’re the same distance away from Stoke in that category as Arsenal. In the Shots per Goal stat, we require 9.24 shots to score, where Arsenal and Liverpool only require 7.2 on average. City require 5.9. We’re as close to Stoke in that category as Arsenal and Liverpool.

Well they should have lost even if Suarez wasn't in the game lol so he is not their only dangerous player. Henderson is being so underrated atm it is unbelievable

Liverpool should have won, but what can you do when you have only one clinical player and he is triple marked.

Remember us against barcelona, messi was only allowed one shot in the two legs. The rest of the barcelona players missed clear cut chances and we won.

Bottom line is, if we stifle their most clinical player, we have a far better chance of winning even if liverpool get chances to score.

Obviously we will triple mark Suarez, this is Jose here we are talking about, he knows it more than all of us and he will make sure of that. And really even if we made him go terribly quiet, like you already mentioned we will need huge slide of luck to win as in the case of City yesterday and us against some team over the year. I just hope we don't get destroyed here.

I'm not saying we will go all out defensive at our home against them, but we will closely mark suarez more than the rest of their players.

Citeh done nothing, he missed on his chances yesterday.

He didnt get any clear chance, he just had 2 long distance freekicks, on shot from distance. I cant remember any clear chance he had. Lescott was tackling and pulling his shirt all game.

Perhaps, I saw something you have not ? Suarez does not need many chances to score & I thought he could have scored yesterday on one, easily.

Not surprised.Daft asking him to be sacked or resign....one means money the other doesnt!Shame their form didnt improve despite the possibility of being sacked hanging over him...

Who would wanna manage that joke of a club? They got promoted and then suddenly it's turmoil. I really hope we relegate the cunts on that final day. We've related a few clubs over the years... Sheffield United, Bolton that i can remember. Let's relegate Cardiff and mess up their owner.

The Malky Mackay loving is absolutely hilarious. You would think he was one of the best manager's in the world the way people are going on.

They spent £30m in the summer playing bad and hovering just above the relegation zone. Their was similar people on their highhorse when Southampton sacked Adkins, and that didn't work out too badly, did it?
