Happy Blue Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 1 minute ago, The Artful Dodger said: I do think some on the Liverpool side are bigging this fixture up more than necessary, Carragher with his 'win and it's their title to lose', I mean the guy is a know moron but it just creates a big pressure around it, and if they lose it'll take momentum out of them more than it should do. Tbf, win lose or draw we are only at the half way point and anything can happen yet, maybe even Spurs or Chelsea will win it ..but this is the biggest fixture in England now so can see why it's getting hyped up, if you are selling the Premier League to the world, this is the game you show

Just think some of the so called pundits talking up it's 'make or break' status, whatever the result there is nearly half of the season left, anything at all can happen and nothing will be even close to decided tonight.
True Blue Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 If City wins they go 4 behind which is as open as it gets, with Spurs lurking with just six behind. However if Liverpool wins i don't think City will catch 10 points not this time. Liverpool will easily be happy with a point, but i doubt this game will again end in a draw. Think City will just manage 2-1 my prediction, but i'd rather see Liverpool win or draw.

LFCMadLad Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Rule number 1 - Never listen to pundits, especially on Sky. What they spout isn't even their real opinion, it's simply to sell the Sky product to increase viewing figures. Full of shit the lot of them.
LFCMike Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I'm fascinated to see how Guardiola approaches this one and whether he thinks they need to go all out for the win. I don't think he'll be too disappointed with a draw to be honest even though it's not ideal for them and the Champions League games last year will still be very much on his mind if he thinks they can take the game to Liverpool
Machado Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Is this the biggest fixture in the world these days? Now that El Clasico isn't has hyped as it used to be.
True Blue Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I'd say at the moment / this season definitely the game you don't want to miss.

Cicero Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Robertson may be a doubt as his wife is in labour

Inverted Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I’d say Guardiola will pack the midfield and try to suffocate the game at least for the first part, but he tried the exact same thing at Anfield in the CL and it was a disaster. All guns blazing, I think.

But as I said I think Guardiola will avoid overthinking the game too much and stick to the standard approach.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 3, 2019 Subscriber Posted January 3, 2019 If Andy's wife is having a baby I hope he doesn't play the game and actually stays with her for the delivery. There are things in life far more important than a game of football. I still think we have it in us to cause them problems and we will on the night.
