subject: Manchester City - FC Liverpool game preview 23.8.2010 [print this page] Fc Liverpool from Anfield Road got this season few news, some of them are good and some not as much good. One of the unpleseant ones is that John Cole got in the 1st round red card and he will be probably out for at least 3 games in a row.. Fc Liverpool considers to appeal against this decision but I do not see any chances for the red card to be revoked. They lost 2 points in the late finish after goalie Pepe Reiny silly mistake. On the other side striker Fernando Torres is fit again and coach Hodgson can be happy because Paulsen arrival from Juventus. Reds will be in my opinion happy with 1 point because Mancheester City is stronger than last season. Coach Mancini brought some new players again and arrivals of Balotelli and Milner are for sure big plus in "Citizens" strenght. With Y.Toure, Boateng, Kolar and Silva we got 6 new faces in the home team. Coach Mancini sent Bellamy to Cardiff and Ireland to Aston Villa to give the chance to the new players which should be better. On the other side he still got bunch of quality players available like Hart, Tevez, Adebayor, De Jong to choose from and this makes City bit bigger of favourite in this game. "Citizens" have opportunity to break 5 games at home against Reds without win and wider squad which has coach Mancini at his disposal could be deciding factor for this win in this very expected game and hit of this round.
