Man City it is, No shock for it to be 2 English sides drawn together!
16 Mar 2018 11:33:22
Worst possible draw - and second leg away! At least we know what we’re up against though.
16 Mar 2018 11:32:45
We'd better not perform as badly as we did last time out at the Etihad. The only positive is that we tend to do better against teams that don't park the bus.
16 Mar 2018 12:17:26
This is where Coutinho's loss / lack of a replacement is going to bite.
Why oh why have we left ourselves short?
16 Mar 2018 12:31:41
Didn't we beat City without Coutinho?
I love being the under dog. This is not the draw i wanted before. However, this reaction is perfect! Everyone is writing us off. The Chsmpions league was made for under dogs and we have no pressure. People expect us to lose. They have huge pressure because they're expected to win, and their fans and older players want this more than anything else.
I can't wait. I hope we shatter their dreams. 8 European trophies. How many do City have? Even since they had all that money, We've still had more success in Europe with that runners up medal in 2016!
Anybody remember Klopp's first season when we drew the Europa League favourites, Dortmund and then lost the first leg? We still had the heart to pull through.
I AM BUZZING!

We were doing alright at the Etihad until the red card.
At least they will be entertaining games with plenty of goals. 6-5 Liverpool on aggregate! :)
16 Mar 2018 12:59:02
We lost to heavily to city because we went down to 10 men, until then, we had a number of opportunities to score and we more than matched them!
16 Mar 2018 13:19:53
Its going to be entertaining for sure. What a draw, simply amazing. All the other draws are just meh.
Looking forward to the game.

I can assure you that the City dressing room did not want this draw either. There is an added pressure when you face teams from your own country, especially when you are theoretically the favourite. If you face Barcelona or Bayern and lose, you give it your best shot and the world say's you are not quite there. This is a pressure game for many other reasons. Also, Pep knows that Klopp does have the ability to fashion a side to beat one of his.
We are strong in Europe. We are very strong at home. We weren't as bad as the result suggested at the Etihad.
So be firm in your support, we have every right to win this tie.
Peace.

I don't get why everyone is upset about the draw, this is an elite competition and at this stage all teams are elite. If we truly belong in the Champions League let's face anyone with no fear. If we can't beat City then imaginae how we would have done against Barcelona.
16 Mar 2018 16:05:10
I’m not upset because we can’t win - I believe it’ll be really close. it’s just that we will be playing a very very tough team, but without the joy that comes with playing a Bayern, Juve, Real or Barcelona in Europe.
Hopefully we get through and get that pleasure next round!
16 Mar 2018 16:07:55
I think being away second leg could really play into our favor. City have an awful record at Anfield, and if we get the result, then there will be even more pressure for City to attack in the return leg. Plays right into Klopp’s style to hit on counter.
16 Mar 2018 16:12:43
I love Klopps response - it’s a dream draw, for all Manchester United fans.
16 Mar 2018 16:41:56
It’s Champions League
It’s Liverpool
THEY should be worried about us.
16 Mar 2018 20:12:10
I personally would have rather faced another team, We haven't played a top European team in a while. So it would have been nice to see how we stack up against the likes of Juve or Barca, that said we have played city before and know what to expect. Likewise they know what to expect from us.
Additionally would have been nice if the possibility remained that maybe we could face city in the final and have 2 English teams then. Anyway, come on redmen :) YNWA.
17 Mar 2018 00:14:03
I believe we are the favourites against city! I just can't understand the fuss. there are no teams remaining g dat park the buss. y worry. just give our best and who knows dat . it b enuf for d cup!
17 Mar 2018 08:51:57
Every game that Liverpool have left is a cup final now.
You can't look at any game in isolation and to have had that extra dimension would have been a huge benefit.
But it is what it is.
17 Mar 2018 11:08:18
MK did we not draw first leg against Dortmund?
17 Mar 2018 12:40:28
I think they're only loss in the league to us may play on their mind a little. I'd rather have faced City than any of the other teams at this stage, simply because we know how they play.
17 Mar 2018 13:19:16
The juicer, as people have alluded to we beat them without coutinho and we play better free flowing football without him. You could argue we would have had a better chance if Gerrard was playing in midfield and if carra was next to VVD but football moves on.
