We will lose on Sunday 100%. If we were the accused and every fan in the country was against us, what would you all think we should do? We would be right up for this game, and so will the City players. They are not top of the league for nothing. I just cannot see us getting a positive result.

KBL to lead the team talk on Sunday, sign him up!

That's the spirit, roll over before a ball has been kicked.

we're more likely to have lost anyways mate. We're not exactly a polished machine.

Is there just a dumb cloud over Manchester that renders them all immune to seeing reality or something? Those players will surely know they're playing for nothing.

What is all this negativity about? Drive on boys! Don't be bet before you've laced your boots!

KBL has a point though. Everyone just thinks we're going to be psyched up to the eyeballs and City will be lambs to the slaughter. I always expect us to win at Anfield, especially on European night-like days as Sunday will be.
But I will say though that if City turn up, pull together and manage to get a result after what they did at Old Trafford I'll give them their dues they'll be looking like a proper side.

A proper side? Seriously FM? Built on what foundation?

Shanks I understand peoples frustrations. This is 11 blokes on a pitch to me that we have to get past. i said in an earlier post the time for me to get annoyed about such things would have been 5, 6, 7 years ago not now. The time is gone for me. Put it this way if we win on Sunday the thought that we beat the cheats and landed a blow for football won't even cross my mind.
All I care about is LFC and I will be delighted with a great 3 points that would actually put us in a great position. Am I meant to hate the likes of Anderson, O'reilly and Bouaddi who were only children while most of this cheating was happening?
{Ed666's Note - If we get 3 points in Sunday I honestly think it would rank as high as some of klopp’s wins against City. They are better than us, we have our main striker out, one of the most consistent performers this season out (Gakpo) and I honestly don’t think we have a prayer. I think a draw is the best we can achieve and that’s if we play well. But what we do have on our side is a raucous anfield atmosphere and we all know how the city galvanizes if we feel there’s an injustice and above all we have hope..I truly hope I’m eating humble pie on Sunday night I really do. Yes I’m
A bed wetter!!!

"especially on European night-like days as Sunday will be" never played on a weekend and far from like so.

Ed0666 - Worse teams than us have beaten this City team - Iraola beat even stronger City teams with worse players. I think this game is coming slightly too early for us and Iraola, but we have more than a chance of getting a result.
{Ed666's Note - anything can happen but I truly don’t think we will win mate. I’ve been wrong before and I hope I am again.

Let's hope you don't go the game ay.

Actually really looking forward to this game. Put aside all the side show stuff this game will give us a real indication of where the club is on a PL competitive stand to date.
We're unbeaten so far but apart from Bournemouth the fixture list has been pretty kind to date with 3 of the teams finishing bottom half last season and the other a newly promoted team.
This will be the biggest test to date this season and an opportunity for the players to lay their marker in the sand.
