We always suck at Anfield so I'm already prepping for the worst.

Sorry to say I hope you are right.

I just hope the "good" Liverpool turn up tomorrow.


No need to say sorry there m8, we've both never been in this position before. I just hope that if one of us loses their bottle, the other stays strong so that we don't let Arsenal in.

Liverpool are better against teams they can counter against. They were excellent in both games against City and put in a solid display against Arsenal. I think they struggle to create when teams sit back against them, which Spurs won't do. Could really go either way.

I said it before but they might be the worst PL team I've ever seen.

They give that shocking Derby County team under Paul Jewell a run for their money.

They need to have a fire sale in the summer and just start fresh with players who actually want to play

De Bruyne is so good. Probably the best in the leagu. The reason why Man City collapsed isnt because of the Guardiola thing, it's because of De Bruyne's injury.

Remember when I said he was better than Hazard last summer and Baph and many others laughed at me. He will be even better under Guardiola.

He wasn't better than Hazard last summer, though. A lot can change in a season.

There aren't many better FK takers in the world than Payet.

Yes, he was. The guy was the best player in the Bundesliga last season. He carried that team on his own.

He has always been the main man for Belgium ahead of Hazard.

They always do that after CL exits. If they beat West Ham next week, they'll win the league.

Hazard was the best player in the PL last season. :dontknow:

I mean, we can at least agree that De Bruyne is obviously miles better now. But calling him the best in the PL is a stretch when Payet, Alli, Ozil and Mahrez have had much better seasons playing a similar role. Obviously he's been injured for a while now but he's been a passenger in as many games as he's been brilliant.

I dont think he has been the best player this season(injuries etc.) but I think he is the most talented player in the league.

Nobody would want to buy their players and the wages will be horrendous.
