Agree with all of this, I thought Pep had them sussed this time, and stifled the fuck out of them. After their usual 1000 milesYesterday's game felt like you had bought a lottery ticket with a first prize of £10,000. At the end of the game, you won £3,333 as a 2nd prize. Although it is not as good as £10k, it is still better than third prize of nothing.
People are still moaning about Pep, fair enough but i am just glad he found a way to nullify the only tactics that worked against his teams. I think this will help the team greatly in champions league this year.
Not only that, i also think Pep will be determined to go one better from last year and the only way he can do it is by going unbeaten so looking forward to the rest of the reason. Gutted that we got an international break now.
I think it was a really good performance overall, and it felt like a significant step forward for this team. We overcame our mental hurdle at Anfield and effectively nullified a very good attacking side. We were the better side. Guardiola got his tactics spot on, and we very nearly took all three points. Anyone can miss a penalty though, it's part of the game.
Plenty of positives in the performances of Laporte, Stones, Bernardo and Fernandinho. We've now played arguably our toughest game of the season, and are top of the league with our best player to return. Can't wait for the international break to be out of the way.
We deserved a win but it wasn’t to be.
That’s inexcusable behaviour by Mahrez, he has some huge apologising to do to the team. He should never be allowed to take one again. He didn’t offer anything today, he was predictable and lazy imo.
They’ll be parading we drew with City trophy tomorrow.
Bernardo was quality, Mendy, not quite there, but improving.
Stones and AL gelled well.
What did Mendy do so wrong yesterday?- gen question
Gave the ball away several times but overall he was disciplined and marshalled Salah pretty well.
Pep out.What's frustrating is Liverpool were really poor and we still couldn't beat them.
As long as we win games at every other stadium, and also ends up with titles, do you even care about was the media says?
'Klopp: Liverpool need a break'

Have you ever heard so much bollocks.
We're talking about the champions elect here but they are complaining about games already.
Somehow I don't think they have the desire and drive to win trophies.
I hope sky and the rest of the Scouse cock sucking media realise this.
I think that performance will have done the lads some good. Knowing they SHOULD have won, and they shut down the worlds greatest ever attacking threesome (!) will stand us in good stead.A bit, to be honest.
But more importantly, the monkey is still on the players' back the next time we go there. This shouldn't matter, but clearly it does - clearly part of the reason for out lack of wins there is mental. Had we won yesterday, we'd be more likely to win there next time.
Perhaps this is down to the 12 training games he made them play in the season preparation.'Klopp: Liverpool need a break'

That's the key. As disappointing as it was to miss the penalty and the chance to open up a lead at the top, the positive thing to take out of was the tactics. It was differently from how we played against them last season in that Pep held the players back from pressing and in doing so, stopped the ball on the top that Liverpool used last season and were expecting to use today.
The gaps in the back didn't appear for Salah and Mane and they were forced to try to create in front of a set defense. Overall, it was much harder for Liverpool and I don't think they created much.
I think we'll go with this in our next match(es) against Liverpool.
Me, too, but the home game against them should sort that out. Don’t beat the best at home, don’t deserve to win the League!Hope that missed penalty does not end up costing us the league. They will beat nearly everyone at Anfield and are a real threat make no mistake.
Ok try this. You play your best 11 v a rival fucking team.
It won’t. Anyway, they might have equalised, if he’d scored it. They might have got 2 and won it!Hope that missed penalty does not end up costing us the league. They will beat nearly everyone at Anfield and are a real threat make no mistake.
Pep out.
