Porksey being so high is no surprise

all sillybuggers aside, with keita going off injured the other day (is he playing on the weekend?) does anyone truly believe Liverpool is going to win this game?
thought they have been fairly ordinary this year, beating up on weak teams (and dont count Spurs they were trash). The Chelsea game was a good performance but i still think they struggle in the final 3rd.
the games they used to smash Citeh against a few years ago always seemed to be Coutinho terrorising them and Kompany being the weak link.
i just think Citeh have too much quality, especially as Salah is struggling.
Yeah that's the thing, the Chelsea goal was beautiful but it looked easy to cut through them.
Aside from Hazard, everyone in the city front half is better than their Chelsea counterparts.
If Liverpool get a draw I reakon they'd be real happy sitting 3rd but having played the rest of the top 4. They then just have to whoop the crappy teams and hope the other contenders take points off each other to be a big shout of winning it.
I love how Stanny comes to this thread to talk about Chelsea.
Truth is we are in a form slump and are equal first, this weekends game couldn't come at a better time in my opinion. No better motivation for the lads and we'll have an idea after this weekend if we are contenders or pretenders.
Yehh. Liverpool knew Kante would stand a few cms to the side when Sturridge has the ball. And Kepa is always a few steps off his line, and we’d calculated the wind on the evening and factored in muscle fatigue in Kepa’s legs and knew his jump would be decreased. Was easy really.
Milner was just saving energy for his hat trick against Citeh...
In all seriousness though, Liverpool are in the slightest of form slumps. Sitting equal 1st in the league and still looking likely to go through a very tough UCL group.
They play a very high intensity game and need everyone to be at 90-100% for 90 minutes to achieve the high press and instant counter attack style they play. High risk X high pay off football is very draining.
I expect them to be in each other's ears all week as if this is a cup final and be up for it. If Citeh don't come at them with equal desire then I can see Liverpool winning. Salah will probably hit form this week.
Let’s be honest, City are the best team and squad in the competition by far.
Liverpool vs City the last few times has been very entertaining and it should be a good game with 2 attacking minded teams.
We are in a bit of a slump atm. Firmino, Salah and Mane are yet to fire and perform to their ability. When they are on, they are devastating and I’d argue they are as dangerous as the worlds best, Hazard, Giroud and Willian....
Willian is overrated and Giroud doesn't know how to score. In well aware of our problems
