wilai Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Team coach route changed by Police (building works....yeah right!) Now going up Arkles Lane and past the Arkles pub. There goes the City fans chance of a quiet pre-match beer. Well done Mr Plod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any 'scallies' will now congregate at The Arkles instead of King Harry possibly creating a problem between fans. City's coach could have used Arkles Lane and LFC the usual route...simples 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl sees all Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Great game in prospect. 2-0. I think being at home gives Liverpool the slightest of advantages. In the return leg I reckon The Reds can score one. That means City have to score 4. Can't see it. If City were at home first I would fancy them to get through.

You could be right or you could be massively off target. If this was in the Prediction Comp I'd abstain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was in the Prediction Comp I'd abstain Yeah I've no clue, but I'd take owls prediction all day long. If we can keep a clean sheet I'd be ecstatic, but that won't happen, so we need to try and bag a hat full. Even if we did win by 2 or 3 goals, I'd still be apprehensive going to the Etihad. We could well get battered, best team in Europe, champions elect by a record margin. Tall order. Either way, I can't wait for this match, QF in CL at Anfield don't get much better than when we are underdogs and playing against a team that wants to play attacking football come what may it is a dream fixture.

If this was in the Prediction Comp I'd abstain Well, City will need to score a goal or two away. I have a hard time imagining Liverpool not scoring at least three, if not four total in both legs. It'll be interesting to see if Pep comes up with a defensive wrinkle we haven't seen. Not likely I suppose. I think the key might be if City can handle Klopp's pressing. Will need big efforts from Spanish Dave and KDB, and being clinical in front of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StevieH Posted April 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2018 that was fun. by which i mean not really enjoyable in any way at all until the final whistle blew. well, half time whistle. we played generally well. and is it right that city didn't have a single shot on target? so much for our weak link, alexander arnold was out of this world. and that atmosphere was brilliant as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
