Indeed. Though not quite sure why they seem so prevalent. Might be as a lot of United fans were lost in The Great Purge.

 

[A Serious Man]

Is there a single City fan in here?

 

[T-Rex.]

I think it'll be a fairly compact match today actually. No idea what the result's going to be.

GoldenCrow. Don't think we have any Spurs fans though, they've all ran off.

 

[Stead Fast]

Nope. Only Arsenal.

Tbf, seemingly everyone here does get a kick out of AFTV, so perhaps you're into something...

Everybody here is a closet Wenger fan.

I'm about to sleep, but hopefully when I wake up I'll find out Liverpool beats ManCity. Good luck Liverpool fam watching the game

Nothing closet about it. We all love what he's done with the club.

 

[Stead Fast]

Commute this morning was utter shit, but hopefully this rain'll keep things quiet in work to where I can watch the match.

It's gonna be a goal-fest, 3-2 to Liverpool. Come on!

Wagner named manager of the month, Charlie Daniels also with goal but no surprises there.

Long may his reign continue.

That Jerry dude is definitely a Spurs fan judging by his posts.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Damn just remembered Sterling is banned. Actually that might work in City's favour, he tends to be a bit shit against Liverpool.

 

[MoodyFog]

PSG have a juicy attack but the rest of their team isn't that great, if you ask me.

I don't think they're a threat for the CL yet.

Go buy Laporte.

Of course not, still need a Keeper, a Defensive mid and a central defender

Not on Monday. We're in trouble. Ouch.

Only people who have never seen them play think they could win the CL this year. Or people who only see Neymar/Mbappé/Cavani.
Defensively they're pretty weak compared to other big CL clubs.

Defensively all the favourites are pretty weak this year. Even Juventus seems to be much weaker in defense than last year. Real has a liability in Ramos, Carvajal and Marcelo are more focused on attacking than defending, only Varane/Nacho are saving the day there. Bayern defenders seem to suddenly have forgotten how to play. And have you seen Pique?

PSG Défense is still behind Juventus, United, Madrid and Bayern.. barca is shit tho yea

 

[azyless]

Yeah PSG is still worse than those teams defensively, bar Barça I would say. Real and Bayern (the favourites imo) are much better.

 

[Labadal]

Matchday! I am so nervous...

They are a bit worse in defense, but they are better in attack than practically everybody except Real. Their biggest liability is the coach.

cracking saturday of football today. international breaks are so awful.

city vs liverpool is normally brilliant. think the 3-2 in the gerrard slip season is probably the best premier league game in at least the last decade.

 

[sammex]

I'm going 2-2. Late City equaliser from a Lovren brainfart.

Edit

Already wrong, no Dejan

Lineup Vs Manchester City: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Klavan, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mané, Firmino.

#LFC subs v #MCFC: Karius, Lovren, Gomez, Milner, Chamberlain, Sturridge, Solanke

 

[His Majesty]

I can't decide who I want to lose more.

 

[T-Rex.]

Klopp on Coutinho: "Everyone has this bit of understanding & think ‘okay, it’s Barcelona’ – it is not that he wants to go to Everton."

I love Klopp.

 

[CrayToes]

Playing Klavan is such a huge risk. Although, he has generally been very good in big games. Would be more comfortable with Milner at LB though.

 

[T-Rex.]

I wonder if Klopp will be ballsy again and do what he did against Hoffenheim which is leave Moreno to deal with the attacking players by himself (whereas Salah dropped deep to help TAA on the other side) and leave Mane high up the pitch so we could kill them on the counter.

 

[CrayToes]

Moreno is going to get slaughtered lol. Those City players will be licking their lips looking at that defence.

 

[MikeBison]

3-0 Liverpool incoming

 

[sammex]

Klavan played both games vs City last season.

 

[GoldenCrow]

City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Mendy; Danilo, Fernandinho, D. Silva, De Bruyne; Aguero, Jesus.

Thats the most defensive city lineup I have seen in a good while. 6 defensive players. Its gonna be a slow one.

18th century football. Back a few centuries.

 

[DBT85]

Difficult watching a game where you'd love to see both teams lose.

Just have to hope for a 5-5 draw to highlight the amazing defences.

 

[KingSnake]

Real-Levante starts in 7 minutes.

7 clean sheets in 9 pl games, leave us alone!

 

[whatsinaname]

Zizou, what are you planning...

 

[Audioboxer]

I'm at work so I can't watch Liverpool dismantle Man City. Klopp just needs to issue the command pass the ball wayward to John Stones, it was highly effective.

 

[Cindres]

Definitely a good weekend after the international break.

Thinking about taking Both to Score & a Liverpool win for the early kickoff.

 

[His Majesty]

Liverpool badly need a win because they have very tough fixtures ahead against Burnley, Leicester and Newcastle.

 

[tim.mbp]

Levante!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KingSnake]

Zizou, what are you planning...

A disaster?

I can't believe how bad has Lucas become.

 

[whatsinaname]

A disaster?

Nah, the team is looking decent. This was on Carvajal who has been a bit shaky for the last couple of games.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Liverpool badly need a win because they have very tough fixtures ahead against Burnley, Leicester and Newcastle.

Probably better if they don't turn up today and don't over do it mid week.

 

[T-Rex.]

We actually have a squad this season though so that should help.

 

[Sun Bather]

Only people who have never seen them play think they could win the CL this year. Or people who only see Neymar/Mbappé/Cavani.
Defensively they're pretty weak compared to other big CL clubs.

Clubs with kind of shit defenses have won before. So while I agree they are not favorites, I think it's silly to count them out.

 

[KingSnake]

Now that Benzema is off Real will win.
