Yaya putting pressure on the referee already Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure would prefer to play "without a referee" in Thursday's derby with Manchester United after criticising the standard of officiating in the FA Cup semi-final defeat by Arsenal. Referee Craig Pawson ruled out Sergio Aguero's first-half strike at Wembley. Replays suggested the goal should have stood and City went on to lose the game 2-1 after extra time. "I think the referees have to stop this," said Toure. "I am very disappointed. It is not the first time, there have been a couple of times. "Maybe on Thursday we are going to have a better referee or maybe play without a referee - I'd prefer that." Officials ruled that Leroy Sane's cross had gone out of play before reaching Aguero. The Argentina striker later did score to put City ahead, before goals from Nacho Monreal and Alexis Sanchez sent Arsenal into the FA Cup final, where they will meet Chelsea. Defeat means City's focus switches to the Premier League. They are currently fourth but Manchester United could leapfrog them with a victory on Thursday. "It is a very big game, an important game," added Toure. "We have to do that job and we will see what can happen. We hope we are going to have a good referee." Poor little lambs. Shhhh... United get all the decisions....

A referee is the only thing preventing Ander from smashing your whole team to pieces on his own.

A win and nothing else for me, Kojac Pep is spitting his dummy out of his pram because he has won fuck all this year which will damage his CCV's (whatever you call them) for the first time in his career and Klopp is just coming to terms with what bins mean in bin dipper land. That is all for me, at least we have won something this year even the Charity Shield if you can count that as a trophy.

Dave
Valencia Bailly Blind Shaw
Herrera Carrick Pogba
Mkhi Rash Martial
Pace up front and a solid trio in midfield. Silva is out for them, I fancy a good result.

I think we'll set up like we did against the rents. Herrera and Darmian on man marking duty. I think we'll pull out a win.

Perfectly poised game this. They're definitely there for the beating. I don't know what would give me more pleasure, the scousers missing out on top 4 or City and Pep. City missing out would probably be more damaging. Be nice if Arsenal and us qualify for CL and the Scousers and city finish 5th and 6th. Wenger then stays to finish his fine work.

Love to win this and Sunday and go 3rd! Put the shits up the dippers before their Monday away game at Watford. Crazy hard fixture list for us with these injuries on top. If we finnish well with all of this happening it will really stand to us for next season.
It would be a nice surprise to see Snalling or Jones appear at least on the bench at this point

Would love to win this, but we also have to remember that the priority is the Europa. City will always be an important game, but the Europa is what matters by far the most.

It's a 3 digit number you should never, ever give to a Nigerian Prince offering you loads of money
