Opps i just looked at the table, a win and we go 3rd on 46 with a game in hand and only 3 points of City in second.
Middle of February and looking at the top part of the table!! I was not expecting to do that this season!

probably our hardest game left of the season in the PL. This will be a fast and furious game, both teams pressing the sh*t outta each other. Tempo could be ridiculous. They need this one desperately. We could do with at least avoiding defeat

Ideally I'd like us to be able to play the same XI as against Arsenal. Perhaps Fazio will come in for Dier.
That midfield battle could be a ferocious one.
The starting 11 against Arsenal deserve to start. In any case, and who would have thought it, no way can we drop Mason for this high octane fixture. Same thing about Dier - this is the last game I would play Fazio in, what with Sterling and Sturridge pencilled in to start...
Interesting to see if we will adopt the same high line tomorrow. Too much space behind our back four could be suicidal...
Your correct, I did mean to put they will have a game In hans.Quite thin opposite. This season has seen a lack of delayed matches, maybe it's easy to forget these things
I wonder if a win in this game could have a similar impact to our season as the back to back wins we had over Arsenal and Chelsea in 09/10
Part of me thinks, an approach similar to what we did v Arsenal at the Emirates might be better. Sit back, conserve energy and counter. Only thing is Liverpool are capable of keeping us pinned back the way we did Arsenal, so it's an important balance that we need to get right.
A high line is a little suicidal unless we get our pressing game right all over the park. It's probably the reason why they've hammered us 5-0, 4-0 and 3-0 in our last 3 fixtures. Actually the 3-0 was more us just not being as good as them at pressing during that time of the season.
Another fascinating battle ahead of us though
I just made the mistake of going to a Liverpool forum to see what they made of tomorrow's game. They're full of themselves, keep patting themselves on the back & saying that they should win easily tomorrow. They're expecting 2-0 or more....idjits

Phil Dowd is the ref tomorrow, expect lots of fussy refereeing and constant stop-starting of the game

I think this would have been more likely if we were playing a team the equivalent of say palace (like after the chelsea game).It would be great if it could. I am more worried about the "after the Lord Mayor's show" feeling. Think it could go either way tbh.
Would be a great resultI think this'll be a 2-2 draw. Coming from a goal behind twice. Mason to score his first league goal for us.
