Have a bad feeling about this with that line-up. Matip and TAA on the right, and the workmanlike midfield all selected. We have to go for this, not pussyfoot around.
Well we do have one of City's physio's now, so I'm sure he could come up with some concoction in order to 'speed up' the recovery process. ;)
When Gomez came into the side this term as centre back, thats what we wanted to see; to see if he could handle it, and my word, he has not only done...
He looked a monster of a talent when he was there, he gave them something more direct, though they have moved on with better players in Dembele and Coutinho to do that. Still would have him at Liverpool, there is a gem there waiting to be discovered.
I believe you are on the same points tally now as the same time last season under the Portuguese fella. Things stalling a bit under Gerrard at the moment, though if you get through on Thursday in the Europa, then I'm sure some positivity will resume.
