If we can better the 0-3 losses to Chelsea and Liverpool then we can say PV has come up with a better defensive plan than of late.

To have to play 3 of the best teams in the league in our first ten matches was unlucky so let's hope we can assert our superior possession after this match.

At least now, we know we will have to play 'cleanly' with this ref & var appointment.

Sadly I think the defeat in their favourite cup competition will give them a wake up call. We'll keep up our consistent run of 3-0 defeats away to the big teams.

Eze Peasy at Anfield....

And the media were quick to jump on this fact whilst either ignoring or playing down the fact that Spammers made EIGHT changes. In other words both teams basically played their second XI and Spammers' XI shaded it. Having said that
- Citeh still started with Walker, Stones, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Mahrez and Sterling, none of which can be classed as bench warmers. They brought on Grealish and Foden as subs. In other words it was hardly a weak Citeh team that got taken to penalties last night by a weakened Spammers team..
