Match Day Liverpool v Man City, Saturday 31st December 17:30

HogMané v Auld Lang Sané

 

[Bilo]

Such a stupid time for a football match.

 

[SALTIRE]

Klopp confirms Matip and Coutinho will miss this one and probably Sunderland after. Not good. Matip's ankle problems never really seem to go away, I hope he isn't a duffer when it comes to injuries.

 

[SALTIRE]

Dunno if City are at full strength but Liverpool definitely aren't. There will be goals aplenty in this one as City will at least try and play some football and have a go unlike that other Manc side. This could really go either way tbh, but I'll go for 3 - 2 to Liverpool just because of the recent record they have over them, and the home form generally.

 

[silkyman]

Still no Kompany and Sane is out. Aguero is back.

I'd take a draw right now.

 

[TubularBells]

Such a stupid time for a football match.

Tend to agree. Living nearby to Anfield. With the relevance of the match in regards to league position and with it being New Years Eve. This is just badly thought through. Should be an early afternoon kick off. People will be drinking earlier than normal due to it being NYE.

 

[snortingfrogs]

We will run over City tonight.
Liverpool 4 - 1 City

 

[Stevencc]

I'm going to enjoy watching this one, safe in the knowledge that one of you (or both) is going to drop points.

Neither team has a clue when it comes to defending too so it could be one of those ridiculous Premier League games full of mistakes and goals, which are always fun.

I reckon Liverpool will win.

Here the new years celebrations are well on their way at kick off. Me and my girlfriend are having some friends over and I've gone through hell and fire to have it on. On mute. While pretending to ignore it.

Still not half as bad as Sky forcing every other European broadcaster to show just one match on Saturdays at 3pm though.

 

[G-Dragon]

I am going for a draw. Aguero should be fit enough to cause us havoc.

Aguero hasn't scored at Anfield in seven attempts, apparently.

 

[G-Dragon]

No origi or studge, klopp with last season's tactics?

 

[Stevencc]

Ahhhhhhhhhh, got my feet up for this one.

 

[Leo]

Hope both these fuckers go for it as I have a decent bet on over 2.5.

Mon the LiverCity

 

[G.B]

Don't expect a response from him mate. He disconnected his router the moment Pogba's header went in.

 

[Art Morte]

Emre will get the winner.

 

[Stevencc]

Those Sterling boos.

 

[Stevencc]

Great header, G.B was right!

 

[Leo]

1-0 Liverpool...fucking goal that was.......Nice....one down.

 

[Art Morte]

Those Gini headers!

 

[G.B]

i dream of gini

 

[The Iron]

Excellent header from Wijnaldum.

1-0 Liverpool

 

[Art Morte]

Dem Mignolet touches.

City offering very little in attack. Aguero's become a lazy pos. Always offside.

 

[Benji]

Man City utterly ineffective so far. Liverpool's pressing is forcing them back to Bravo so frequently. Not sure Guardiola's style is meant to work like this.

 

[Stevencc]

City have been piss poor - Liverpool are in control.

Neither team look like scoring... meaning that they're bound to score.

Aguero only usually needs half a chance so you'll definitely need another to feel comfortable.

 

[Stevencc]

Klopp's having to gee up the Anfield crowd again.

You only wish your manager didn't look like someone on suicide watch.
