City v Liverpool - Post Match Thread

We were playing one of the most dangerous attacks in the PL, if not Europe. Some perspective is needed.
Do people actually expect us to concede no chances at all? Because that's something the greatest sides if all time never managed.
No which is why it was a very risky decision to put Otamendi one of one with Salah. Salah failed to take advantage in the end, but he could have done so.

It was obvious that Salah had the beating of Otamendi. Otamendi was on a yellow, and had Mane not got himself sent off, or put it another way if Ederson had not been brave enough to stop Mane, we would have had to change the set-up, or probably concede, most likely from Salahs runs down the right.
 
First half Salah gave Otamendi a torrid time. A 5-0 win should not disguise that. We were fortunate that Salah lacked composure / quality and that the game was changed by the sending off.

Torrid time is getting 5 spanked past you, 2 more disallowed and basically raising the white flag for most of the 2nd half pmsl.

Keep fighting the good fight Marv even if you are alone in doing so.............

But it didn't happen like that. Why do you have to keep dreaming up hypothetical scenarios ?

Sorry, i don't understand your point. Salah was one on one with Otamendi. He was booked. This balance was altered by the sending off which was a one off event caused by the speed of Ederson and an error in judgement by Mane so my view Guardiola was saved from changing his team by a rather fortunate event (for City)

There are lots of ifs and probably in that post.

The system we played allowed us to attack Liverpool the way we did. No matter how many hypothetical scenarios you come up with, the facts are that we were 1-0 up and had created a number of dangerous chances ourselves.

Having a GK in the ilk of Ederson means we can play that way because he has the quality to make those saves.

Honestly, you focus on the negatives when we beat a title rival 5-0 and also claim that you wouldn't want to see Messi in a City shirt. Are you on the WUM or just miserable?

Why do you have to throw insults into it? All I'm doing is discussing the game. There's nothing hypothetical about Salah giving Otamendi a torrid time either.

We were one up, Jesus had chance and stones nearly scored all before mane sent off, game could have gone many ways even with 11 v 11. All ifs and buts. We won 5-0. Sweet.

Salah lacked composure and quality.

That is Salah though. That's why he's at Liverpool and not a title challenger.

I have been very critical of Pep in the past but playing Danilo on the right of the 3 kept Mane at bay and apart from winning a free kick which Can hit wide he rarely posed any threat to our goal.

Against a front 3 full of pace you will always give the opponents chances. Pep chose to give Salah the opportunities knowing he's not the best in front of goal. Even before the red it was clear Pep made the right decision.

Everything about your post was hypothetical.

If Salah scored, if Mane hadn't been sent off, if Ederson wasn't brave. None of that actually happened.

Salah got away from Otamendi twice and done fuck all with it because we have a top class keeper.

Yet you conveniently leave out the fact that Mendy and KDB gave the young Liverpool full back a torrid time which resulted in us scoring a number of goals.

You was saying if this had happened, we'd have to do this and that. It's all if's and but's. It didn't happen. Why worry ?
