We've had seven clean sheets in all comps this season, Stones has played in 6 of them 7 and started 4 of them.

i guess youre counting the Hull match...

we were shipping goals prior to Stones being benched. then clean sheets. obviously it could be coincidental and/or a product of the clubs we've faced recently. or it could be because Stones hasn't been that good. or some other reason.

either way, it sounds like he actually might be starting now.

Of course I'm counting the Hull match, why wouldn't I?

Actually I'm mistaken above, he's started 5 of the 7 in which we've kept a clean sheet.

Or maybe a change to our defensive formation; back 4?

What's our plan to be to cope with their pressing? Press them as Pep likes?

Question is whether its wise for Yaya to start this one, although he has been working harder, yet he could leave us vulnerable.

However, he can keep the ball better than anyone in the team, so maybe I'm wrong.

We have to play with intelligence and ideally dominate the midfield where we should be better.

The Scousers amplify the sound, it appears to be a great atmosphere with the B.S theme tune turned up to get them at it.
The scum got a draw when they were at there worst this season and could have nicked it,

Score first and get at Milner, such a pity Sane is not playing. Over the years we have frozen or the likes of Clatenburg have
Blatantly cheated us. Pep v Klopp I take Pep if Kun can take his chances, I hop we get a fair ref and no dramas.

BT or Sky? What's the betting that we will have to endure " You'll never mourn alone" from start to finish? So perfect time to mute the sound and get my first lager. If we just boss them in the first 20 mins we can do this. Like many on here I believe midfield is key. Ya Ya could be massive in this game.

yep the last city fans coming in should cover the satellite dishes with tin foil or something during that dreadful song. It can't be that difficult to zap those high frequency transponders surely.

Yaya owes them one after their cheering when he got injured.

I think Yaya is key to this game, recycling the ball and looking for those killer passes. However, playing Yaya will give Fernandinho lot of work to do and I'm hoping the set-up takes his lack of defensive qualities into account, ie. Silva, Sterling and KdB working their bollocks off to close down the space. I'd even want to see Sergio in there rather than standing on his own, up front or on the left.

Yep, totally. You would hope that all our players will know what's required. The problem is, as we know it's who turns up on the day and how they adapt to the system Pep puts into place. Our defence, whoever plays needs more aggression and Otamendi needs to stay on his feet in tackles or this is the game he could get sent off or concede a pen or both.

We need to score the first goal the game will become wide open then and we will have a chance of scoring more , The bin dippin cunts are wary of us and know we have great players who can hurt them its just all the other stuff that will be going on as everytime we play there the ref is hugely controversial (again) same old shit and we wont get a pen or fuck all and half our players will on yellows by half time . Oh and BT will be beyond fucking bias with a panel full of scouse cunts .

Any stonewalls to us will be given aa a yellow for diving, there's not a chance in hell we'll get anything at Klanfield. 50/50s will only go one way and if there's a sniff of us breaking, the advantage won't be played, instead bringing the play back before deciding it's a Dipper FK. And, as mentioned, any sort of 2 footed lunge will be met with a red, that is, if the player is in Blue. In Red it will nenientky overlooked.

The above is my main reason for pessimism, as every time we go near them we'll be dealt with under the new regulations. You know the ones, them that are kept solely for the purpose of fuckimg us over.

Hacking the Scouse cunts playlist would be a good Start to the proceedings, scoring 1st the 2nd giving the ref hell for his dodgy performance would be the third and as we win. Centre circle Salute the 4th to the vermin cunts!

Given the venue I assume we'll be having a minute's silence for each of the following:

Princess Leia
Princess Leia's mum
Prince
However many died at Hillsborough
David Bowie
George Michael
That old bird from The Royal Family
Lennon
Tarbuck (even though he's still alive)
Cilla Black
and of course the darling of Bin Dipper Comedy, Carla Lane.

That lot should take the heat out of the atmosphere, hopefully setting things up nicely for a Serg brace in the first 10 minutes.
