Sounds silly but City are a team like us and Arsenal, open play, play to win, creative, positive. You're always half a chance against a team like that, and it takes balls to play that way and have confidence in your ability. Wenger has played that for years, gotta admire that. Sadly he's become an ideologue who can't move with the times. But we've had great games against AFC for years now. Always a chance against Arsenal. That open play hasn't always been our ethos lately. Rodgers started us on that path and nearly won a prem, but his man management and poor LFC transfers did for him. Pep and Klopp clearly have it, and it's great to see both teams play each other. I don't know about Conte and Poch as I haven't seen enough of them but José, no way.
Anyway it's teams like Man U who play negative footy that scare me more that artisan teams like City and Arsenal. Just as Fergie was always the toughest nut to crack.
But we're better equipped than ever and if we can get a strong authoritative keeper in and Robbo keeps on his path, we should be fine.
RB has Clyne and Alexander-Arnold, plus Gomez for cover.
CB has Virgil, Matip, RK, Lovren, Gomez.
LB has Robbo, Morono, plus Gomez and Milner for cover
(Poor Joe Gomez, he's needed everywhere!)
But two of the flakiest keepers in the league behind them.
Time to see what Danny Ward can do. And break a keeper transfer record to get our spine in order. The last piece of the puzzle? That and making sure Salah and Firmino don't follow Steve, Michael, Xabi, Alvaro, Javier, Luis and Philippe!
(In before Barcelona offers Liverpool £50 for Andrew Robertson!)
