Pearce: Tempo the key to beating Liverpool


25/11/2005 - 13:07:39 

Stuart Pearce has called on Manchester City to blow Liverpool away with a high-tempo game plan.

Pearce’s first win as Blues boss came against Rafael Benitez’s team last term and a second victory is required if City are to maintain their position among the Premiership’s high flyers.

As usual, Pearce has analysed the opposition’s strengths in a meticulous manner.

But, for once, he believes it is how his team play which will dictate the result, hinting a fast-moving, English-type game could unsettle a Liverpool side packed with continental stars who often look ill at ease in the hurly-burly of domestic combat.

“We have done our homework but I just have a feeling this is one of those games which is about the way we play and the tempo we set,” said Pearce.

“I am desperate to get a high tempo into our game, especially at home.

“We have worked on it with the players this week and we are ready to take them on.”

Slowly it seems, the Champions League winners are starting to shed the tag of a side who can turn it on in Europe but not in the Premiership.

Four successive wins since the embarrassing Carling Cup defeat at Crystal Palace only came to an end on Wednesday with a goalless draw against Real Betis.

The result still proved good enough to take the Merseyside giants into the knockout stages of a competition they won for the fifth time following an incredible comeback against AC Milan in May.

Pearce knows any side displaying such fortitude has to be respected but he is anticipating a more positive approach from the visitors than Blackburn adopted seven days ago and feels City may benefit.

“Liverpool have picked up after a sluggish start and whereas Blackburn wanted a point and got one last week, they will probably not see getting a point from Manchester City as a particularly good result,” said Pearce.

“The way Liverpool set their aspirations, they will feel if they don’t win, they will be falling away from the Champions League spots and also the championship itself.

“But I know what we are trying to achieve here and what a good result is to me.

“When we beat Liverpool last year it gave us a big lift and another victory would have just the same effect.”

Pearce has midfielder Joey Barton available after a one-match ban and with Claudio Reyna still struggling with an ankle injury, the former England Under-21 international is set for a recall.

Robbie Fowler could be handed a place on the bench against his former club after coming through a midweek reserve outing, while England Under-19 international Lee Croft also has an extra incentive to keep his starting berth.

Although he was born and grew up in Wigan, Croft is a lifelong Liverpool fan, a passion he inherited from his Croxteth-born mother.

Professional commitments mean he can no longer make regular trips to watch the Merseyside giants. But he still keeps a close eye on life at Anfield and feels a big improvement is not too far away.

“I like Liverpool but they should be doing better than they are,” said the 20-year-old, who is hoping for his fourth successive Premiership start.

“I am sure their league form will pick up though and they will be up near the top at the end of the season.

“It would mean an awful lot to play against them and they have a lot of good players we will have to stop.

“We know their strengths and weaknesses but we have to try to impose our game on them.”

Love the Merseyside giants bits

[Lando_Griffin]

If we play anywhere near properly, we should win - probably 1-0.
If not, we'll get battered. Provided he plays and the team produces, I can see Crouch scoring in this game. Jamo should be feeling generous.

[hobbes]

it Its Liverpool's win. And its a clean sheet confirmed. I predict a 2-0. Rafa had reserved Xabi and Garcia and Sinama in the Championship match. I Expect a surprise start for Sinama in the Primiership. 

This time post Championship match.. we will win.
