That would be a mistake. City's squad is vastly superior to Liverpool's especially their choices in midfield and upfront.

Liverpool can't keep relying on VVD and the front three to bail them out every game. A top striker, midfielder and probably centre back are essential purchases.

City can call on Agüero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Mahrez as major attacking threats yet they will buy more this coming summer and not claim Phil Foden will be like a new player.

I agree.

Dont think Wilson is good enough despite some great strikes.

Seen a bit of him at Derby & has been poor recently. I would sell in the summer.

I just not so sure we will have a huge amount of money to spend judging by Klopp's comments

Spurs are probably an example of not spending. Lots of talk of of a great young team a few years back. Lost just Walker but have gone backwards since 2016. Probably doing well to stay in the CL places.

His movement for the 2:1 with Sissoko and Son was class. In a split-second needed to decide who the biggest threat was (Son) so continually cut off the pass, forcing Sissoko to take on the shot when he clearly didn't want to. You'd just know the likes of Lovren would've dived in on Sissoko outside the box leaving Son a 1:1 with the keeper.

His interview on MOTD was class. Said he knew Sissoko was right footed so he closed the door to Son and make Sissoko shoot with his left.

He shouted "keeper", but Milner didn't pull out. He wanted to head it clear. No point in him clearing Milner out with his own head.

If you shout keeper you have to get to the ball simple as that

Sessegnon would be shrewd IMO, depending on the price you can get him at.

£25m in today's market and he'd be an excellent option to have - better than what we have to cover the front positions.

I know he is young and playing in a poor team but I don't see the fuss at all ,

He is in no way better than Origi or Shaq at this moment in time ,

He did, just not with his head, cause Milner didn't move.

It certainly wasn't pretty but in the end of the day he was able to mange the situation
If Migs or Karius was in the same position you just know the ball would have some how ended up in our net ,

Sessegnon is never going to be a full back so if we're going after a young left sided player, Dwight McNeil is the guy. 19, quick and already looks like he won't be bullied and is good on the ball, and more productive than Sessegnon - 3 goals and 4 assists in 14 starts and 1 sub appearance.

We are told by lads in here that know the underage stuff that TAA is never going to be a full back either he is going to be a midfielder.

It would great to get top class young players that are versatile in two positions.

De ligt (you need to get some groove in your heart) I also said one of Wan Bissaka, Sessengon and Chilwell. Volland would be perfect for Liverpool - he is consistent with 15/18 goals a season, he is flexible, he is not remotely fashionable and so cheaper than Werner or Poulsen plus he knows Firmino's game inside out obviously.

I know you siad one of but i dont think young english players are value when they wont even start! De ligt would a fantastic addition but dp se need another 60m centre half. We have 4 top quality centre halves. No other team can say that.
They havent played together for 3 years. Ypu could say the same for a lot of brazilain forwards. Poulsen would add something different,a presence that can score goals.

I think it was midway through last season when Fulham pushed him higher up the pitch, as a full back he started getting plenty of assists and was drifting higher up the pitch. They then decided to leave him up there, I think they were following the Bale prototype.

Exactly it's been a while since he's been a regular LB, he's moving up the pitch not back and I can't see him wanting or being moved back either. I found this, out of his 20 starts, 3 at full back and one at what they call 'Defensive Midfield Left' which I assume is a wing back. He's even had two starts right sided forward and one as a centre forward!

Cardiff play Fulham in there game after they play us it will be interesting to see if Warnock decides to play the under 23's against us to give his players a chance against Fulham.

Won’t be able to afford to, they’ll need points like they do the City one, but ultimately it’ll be lose to Liverpool & relegated (mathematically)

By fielding the 23s midweek he is sending out the signal that the Burnley match is basically Cup Final.. lose and Relegated. It’s as simple as that.

Shirley Cardiff need to try at least to get a point. Just put 11 men in the box and never leave it. That could possibly get them a point. Leicester done it to us at home, restricted us to 3 shots on target by sitting very deep ,we had 75% of the ball and no where to go. Cardiff need to try that for their own sake.

Its getting to that stage where mid table teams will have nothing to play for, certain teams may concentrate their efforts at cups, some teams may rest against big teams to give themselves a better chance in other upcoming fixtures etc. Nothing we can do about it tbf.

I think we'll need to probably get at least 16 out of 18 from our remaining fixtures and hope that City's drop points at Spurs or/and United. I'm not sure the Cardiffs of the league will do enough to take points off City at the business end of the season. I dont see anyone else taking anything from them bar Spurs and United and even that is hope. I mean, of course you never know obviously, anything can happen but with 6/7 games left I dont think City will lose much focus against the mid - bottom half teams.
