Some of the City fans on here are rather highly stung aren't they?

Wrong. This is not a league game where 3 points is all that matters. Here, away goals are crucial. Fact is, your defense is not good enough to keep a clean sheet if City come out attacking. Yes, you may win 4-3 or even 5-3 (doubt it though, I expect 3-1 if Liverpool are really, really good). But Guardiola will be happy with the away goals as he can set up a defense better than you can at the Etihad. His possession game should ensure his attackers have the ball and can score.
I expect the reverse of what you think. City will come out swinging at Anfield. Silva being back is a boost. They will lose 3-2 quite happily as they can easily win 2-1 at the Etihad and progress.
Holy shit, I was trying to remember who you guys got matched up against before remembering you got knocked out. Sevilla ffs, unbelievable. I think my mind just can't process that or something.Don't tell me you are one of those who think losing the first leg 3-2 away is better than drawing 0-0.
Get Liverpool out, Barca/Madrid can take care of City.
Of course not. But 0-0 is highly unlikely in this tie, you have to admit.
No it’s not. Away goals only count double in the event of a tie after second leg. 3-2 would be very good for city and is a highly possible result but any draw in the return would see us thru.
City struggling to sell out the Etihad for this is hilarious. I suspect there will be pockets of LFC fans dotted around their ground.
My big fear for this tie is right back. Gomez is injured, Clyne not match fit after a long lay off and Alexander Arnold is talented but isn't ready for a game of this caliber. He's been exposed a few times defensively - most recently at Old Trafford.
Except for that, we have had Man City's number for years and they haven't won at Anfield in about 20. The Etihad is a rather familiar, sedate place to play compared to some of the cauldrons we could have gone to.

This. A Liverpool CL win would be a genuine, significant triumph. A City win would carry all the weight of Ben Johnson's 1988 Olympic victory.
Agreed, let's leave this out.
I would love to know how much you would lost by at the Etihad if you hadn't had 'City's number', what do you reckon?
All I keep hearing about is the Anfield atmosphere, It will see us through. They have 2 mins singing the Celtic theme tune and then its like most other PL grounds. Quiet.
Don't bring that up please.
Cheers Johnny,
This has been dealt with at length mate, and the original poster received a temporary ban.
I'm not easily offended, I study History and Genocide in particular, so I'm quite used to the worst side of human behaviour.
It's heartwarming to know though, that us Liverpool and United fans can give one another loads of abuse, without resorting to the gutter.
I couldn't believe that, that particular poster refused to see the difference between 'Victimpool' and something like 'Loserpoo', or 'Livershite' (which are totally acceptable).
The 'Victim' tag, or 'always the victims' is revolting to me because of obvious reasons (loss of life, fight for justice etc, and I include Heysel in that, for which my clubs supporters were guilty).
I would never make the aeroplane sign to United fans, mocking the death of potentially one of the greatest ever British sides. I find that behaviour disgusting.
We are two truly great clubs, the best Britain has, had to offer for the last 60 years, and we bear our scars with dignity. Best wishes my friend. (Tho' we 'hate' each other's clubs, I hope we respect each other's many great achievments -tho' not so many in Europe on your part! Hehe).
Completely agree. Having raised money for the Hillsborough family support group, it's clear much offence that sort of chant causes in Liverpool. We've got plenty to mock LFC for without resorting to that!Cheers Johnny,

My best case scenario from here on out:
1. Liverpool gets knocked out by City.
2. City gets knocked out by Real - including through two or three goals scored by Ronnie at the Emptihad, followed by him revealing a stripe of red band some where beneath his kit, pissing off the Emptihad and reminding them of their true place in the hierarchy. If not Real, I'm ok with Juventus doing this instead, minus the part about Ronnie, obviously.
3. I don't really give a shit about the rest, though I prefer that Real will lose in an eventual final. Instead, I hope Juventus (see point #2), Bayern or Barca will win it. In that order.
How can any of you who want Liverpool to progress call yourselves United fans. What the hell. Our rivalry with Liverpool is number one, two, three, four, five… you get the idea, I hope. If not for footballing reasons, at least take a look at the history between the two cities. Sure, City can feck off, but Liverpool must always feck off the most.
Also, City are just a strong fart in a weak wind right now. Let City have their pointless CL "run", they will return to irrelevance soon enough and will bottle the semis this season anyway.

Careful you can still meet them soon
hang on, let's not let the love-in go too far
Let's hope so!
Some good war-gaming right there!
I really don't care who wins it tbh. Anyone but Liverpool!
Thanks mate (United Basta*d).
Thanks Johnny, and....Likewise!
hang on, let's not let the love-in go too far
True.. 20 Timesss, 20 Timesss Man United!Thanks mate (United Basta*d).
Hilarious but not surprising. I should add that's not a shot at Liverpool but rather that the Etihad is often sparingly filled.
The Mane sending off rendered that game meaningless.
You're correct that Anfield is nothing special on the average Saturday 3pm kickoff. Quiet, even. But European nights are a completely different cup of tea.
They'll regret not going when the sheikh fecks off and they're back playing port vale and Swindon in 10 years' time.
He's been fecking off for the last however many years.
Well I hope for your sake that Uefa decide the game is also null and void should Mane decide to plant his studs in someone's head again.
He's a City fan I think, so he wouldn't know what a real fanbase sounds like on a European Q/F night.In a big european night?
Wait, let me laugh harder
I got a ticket to the game. Me and some of my mates from uni basically just go to any City games when they're playing a decent team in Europe as they always go on general sale.
One team will get knocked out and that's good enough for me, all I want to see is an entertaining game and any English players to do well.

I do not know if the atmosphere will change the fact that City have a better team with better players.
5 times, 5 times Liv-er-pool. kings of Europe, right back at you mate. Haha, best wishes.True.. 20 Timesss, 20 Timesss Man United!

As much fun as it is laughing at City having trouble selling tickets it's not as if Liverpool didnt have similar problems in the 70s and 80s.
When they played CSKA Sofia the ground was half empty for a Q/F in 82. Loads of other games were poorly attended.

My mate has managed to get tickets for a load of people from work. They really are gonna struggle
