"I certainly don't want to play for City.
"You can buy stars, you can spend a lot of money to be in the top four, more than us I know, but you can't buy what we have at Anfield.
"Here we play with the history of the club behind us. We don't have their money but we are proud to play for Liverpool.
"I know that they have the money and they are building a good side but I am still so proud to play for Liverpool."
"It is normal for Liverpool to play under pressure all the time, but maybe not for City," he said.
"And although they have spent a lot of money to reach the top four, and have some good players, so do we.
"I think City respect Liverpool because of our history. We will fight until the end."
"We know it will be good for us if Carlito cannot play because we know how good he is," he said.
"I have spoken to him this week but not about football, but because I was worried as the baby was born early.
"I still don't know whether he will stay in Argentina or come back and play. The main thing for me, the only thing, is that he is happy and the baby is well. If he plays, he plays, but the family is the main thing."
"We are in the position where it depends on us. If we succeed, they will have problems, so we have to do our job," he said.
"So we know how important it is to win. If we manage it, then it'll be more difficult for them and they will be the ones under more pressure, that's for sure.
"I know everybody is expecting us to be in the top four - but I have the belief and confidence that we can be there.
"It's true, our experience of having been there already could be important. It depends on the players and if they can manage things well.
"But over the last four or five years we've done well in various competitions so this can hopefully help us. We have managed the pressure well.
"Ourselves and City, as well as Tottenham and Aston Villa,
are in a position where we have to keep going until the end.
"Perhaps one game can be a big difference, so it's important to manage the pressure and maybe our experience can help.
"Perhaps City fans are expecting the team to do better now and they will have a little bit of pressure - and maybe it will be more difficult for them.
"But the most important thing for us is not to concentrate on City, but on us. We need to be in a good position and have the chance to invest in the future."
go on the Masch - trying to pile the pressure on City.
looks like Tevez might not make it.0 -

City have had a tougher run of games in all comps in fairness. We were only playing in one comp until we played a team from an area with a smaller population than sligo and still had problems putting them away.
City dont do defensive set ups and rafa says hes going to attack so quite frankly anything could happen
. Could be a gladiatorial massacre of goals.
(probly be a yawn nil-nil now).0 -
i'm expecting tomorrows team to be:
reina
carra, agger, skertl, insua
lucas, masch
maxi, stevie, babel
dirk
if it is that i'll be pretty confident we can win. i'll be betting on 2-1 & maxi 1st:eek:
if sparky was still in charge at the eastlands i wouldnt be as confident. i don't rate mancini as a manager at all and in fact i think he's a bit of a clown. it will be a bad game but i think pool win win

lucas, masch
maxi, stevie, babel
dirk

liverpool to win 14 - 0 and then be crowned kings of the cosmos after they defeat the dragonbeast of Xyclos IX
It'll never happen without Torres
Tough one to call this, Liverpool seem to be gearing up to end this season with some degree of form. However, on the basis of the home/away form table I have in front of me, I see City have won at least 6 games on the bounce at home, whilst Liverpool have won one of their last 6 away, so I'm going to say 2-0 City. Will be hoping for a draw though.0 -
