Gerrard on Manchester City: “The plan will be to make it extremely hard for them and take them where they don’t want to go.

“We know we can hurt this team, so we’re really looking forward to the game.”

A plan! 3-0 down within 10 mins??

In fairness the plan worked pretty well for 75 minutes last time and if a title hadn't been on the line, we'd have probably have won.

They're more than capable of battering anybody, but as a point of personal pride, if I were a player I'd read this thread and probably get myself sent off inside 10 minutes.

I want SG gone but I still want is to win. The football club I have loved all my life. I don't want to see us humiliated by an oil barons train set. I want the bastards to show a never say die attitude.  Have respect for themselves and our famous club. I can handle going down fighting but not a meek surrender. VTID

I expected Arsenal to fill their boots but they didn’t make their chances count. I think we’re all expecting the same end result tomorrow, so I’d be grateful if we can keep the score line at least somewhat respectable.

If we’d signed Haaland you just know he’d have broken his leg, if not both legs, during the first twenty minutes of his debut.

I suspect tomorrow might be the best we've played all season because we'll pack the midfield. We won't have much of the ball or territory, I doubt we'll take anything, but I just have a feeling in adversity the balance of the midfield will actually be right.

I think we've actually got a chance. This game could be the making of the team.

Ha, got you. 0-6.

Double figures! Great! I’ve never seen us score more than 7 before!

More chance of that than him getting on the pitch.

I once played in a 9-9 draw. I’d take that tomorrow, although I expect that the first 9 will be a 0

Has Leon’s dad decided the starting line up yet?

He's got Bailey starting on the left, on the right and on the bench just in case.
