We are getting roasted today. No chance of getting anything from this game.
Milner our captain oh captain⌠the guy will be on a yellow after 5mins
Game of two phases⌠keep it tight until we get Nunez on in the second half
We are likely gonna concede first in the first half. Thatâs has been our mantra all season. I doubt it is gonna change now.
3 down to Barce. Salah and Bobby out, replaced by Shaqiri and Origi.
Messi and co need one goal to make us need 5.
I miss those 2
Was slightly more enthused by Skyâs set up of Fabinho at CB with Gomez at RB but to be honest Milner being anywhere on the pitch today scares the living shit out of me.
Jones and Trent being back on the bench is a boost at least.
Looks like we are back to the new set up again. Salah and Jota wide and Firmino deep, so no one really playing on the shoulder; can already see the funnel passing lanes with nothing through the middle.
The right side with Milner as RB, will Elliott play this new free roaming role out wide that leaves us open on the counter.
I would have rather we played the 4-2-3-1 with Robbo and Tsimi, just looked a lot more solid and compact and crucially had a focal point.
Fodens dream of going to the World Cup might end today
After seeing the lineup, I am starting to feel unwell, I am going to have a lie down soon.
Come on. Milner knows Man City like the back of his hand. Wait, all his former teammates there have already retired.
UghâŚMilner is going to have a long day. A 36-year old playing right back and getting defensive cover from Elliott and Salah, who between the two of them have attempted perhaps 3 tackles since August.
Trent on bench btw
Nice to have Andy back. He wonât stand for the snide B Silva shenanigans.
Just hope we knock the ball around at times, rather than constantly look for the magic 50 yard over the top ball. Theyâll just keep coming back.
Elliot, Milner and Gomez to defend against Cancelo and Foden.
Lol
So, there is a chance he might come on in the second half.
Milner clatters Foden
Robbo clatters Haaland
City nullified, we win 4-1
This will be ugly
Oh my daysâŚdoomed weâre all doomed
Seriously our fans need to stop shitting the bed as soon as team line ups get announced - it does no one any favour and just adds unneeded pressure to the lads.
And anyone shitting the bed during the game should be given a 2 hour ban if they canât get behind the boys.
I despair! How did we fuck up the succession planning of Milner and Hendo so spectacularly?? Were Klopp and Julian Ward really thinking that Keita and Thiago will mysteriously have a better injury record this season compared to last season?
