    City may be good but how would they fair against Stoke on a cold December Tuesday night?

    :(

    It's different when a solid defence isn't playing a high line to run in behind, and there's 5 world class midfielders pressing the likes of gerrard. Most top CL teams would try for something like this. Most PL teams are very open.
    Chill out. I wasnt having a pop at you.
    Just wondering would they consider a more patient approach in games such as this and in CL next season.

    So it's some form of mass hysteria induced by your current lofty position? Now I get it...

    I think the previous 20 years have more to do with it, being honest.

    With that many divers on the pitch at one time, I'd be amazed if we go 90 minutes without a penalty. I'm thinking it will be decided by one. Or two.

    Should just have a shootout and forget the 90 mins!

    Slightly off topic. Who would be worth more if they went on the market in the summer: Suarez or Aguero?

    City have never beaten Liverpool at Anfield on a Sunday when it started at 13:37.

    Now, I am not a superstitious man or a man who believes in destiny. Hell, I'm not a man at all! BUT. BUT. Ladies and Gentleman. Those are cold. hard. facts.

    Liverpool have this and it won't even be close. City don't have the X Factor. Liverpool do. City don't have the bottle. Liverpool do. City don't have Doni. Liverpool do....shit he has retired. Well the points still stands people!

    I would advise people to not even bother watching the game at all. The result is already in. A resounding Liverpool win. People should allocate their time to a more fruitful pastime.

    In conclusion. City lose. Liverpool win. 100% confidence and it will not go another way. FACT.

    Liverpools front two and gerrard are fantastic, but I think pool will be outmatched by city in midfield. They will play 5 in there against Liverpools 4. This is the downside to having two up top. Maybe this will be something Liverpool will consider next season - a plan B essentially.

    A midfield diamond can also mean liverpool have more bodies centrally than city most of the time. Its not the same as a traditional 4 4 2 against a 4 3 3/ 4 5 1. If Liverpool go with a diamond I think citys full backs are the players that will get space and potentially cause problems. Should be a great game the best 2 attacking teams in the league. I still think chelsea have a great chance of winning the league cant believe they are 7/1.

    Yes, centrally the diamond can cope with a five man midfield, but it's a narrow system and allows wing backs a free run to a certain extent. Might seem strange but a player like zabaleta could pose te biggest threat in a game like this.
    Bang on, mate. Chelsea are being written off too easily by many. Do not underestimate Jose. They have a handy enough run in aswell

    Can see nothing but an easy win for City here. Liverpool's over-reliance on Suarez will be shown up as I feel Kompany will have him in his back pocket just like he did in the first game between these sides. He even nicked a goal in that game.

    Midfield will be a mismatch, Gerrard doesn't have the legs or know how to even match Yaya Touré, who in my opinion is the best player in the EPL at the moment.

    Easy win for City. Maybe 4-1.

    Yaya is only a good player when he's bothered, though I don't see anyway that he wont be bothered for this one. Regardless, it'll be Fernandinho's performance as the key for City in this game. He's been very good at providing a platform for Silva and Yaya this season which maybe they were slightly missing last season.

    Can one refer to oneself or indeed, other consenting individuals, as 'saps'?

    I feel it would be to the detriment of the thread as a whole if this is not permitted, but that is merely my personal opinion.

    If you want to continue acting like kids, I'm temporarily removing your opportunity to do so in this thread to give the local mods a bit of time to tidy it up and deal with those amongst you who seem to think you can ignore site and forum rules
