Liverpool (a) post-match thread

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

We aren't firing on all cylinders at the moment and they are, no excuses it's as simple as that really

All depends how you interpret it. Ball came off Bernies arm first ! Was that a handball too ?

Bernie's wasn't clear and obvious ? Whereas the other one was ?

 

[Don Karleone]

Missed some great chances today, they didn't, hence 3 - 1. Concentrate on the CL and sack the other cups off.

Like that's any less bent.

What can City have done about those first 2 goals. They were fantastic. First one a bit unlucky because of the VAR call. What a start for Liverpool.

Thereafter City played a good game but missed chances.

I thought Sterling was the best player on the pitch. Bernardo was everywhere. But nothing went for us in front of goal. Partly that is our fault.

I've thought for some time Liverpool would win the league because we are fragile defensively. In truth they won 3-1 and scarcely played today. They let us have the ball. I thought that was tactical, and pretty stupid tactics by Klopp because we could easily have scored earlier from one of many chances and it would have changed the game.

City need to get more out of De Bruyne. He is not at the level he was at. I don't know whether injuries have taken their toll, but he's just falling short.

Usual nonsense.

Possibly because Liverpool have the advantage as they went on to score. You can’t take away a goal because there was a handball from a city player in the build up.

You can't play an advantage and then ignore fouls from the team getting the advantage.

This is what pisses me off though, you are right completely he does bottle penalty decisions. But that shouldn't matter as he has the perfect get out by getting VAR to givthe decision. The problem is that VAR is totally bent .

fixed

Never play Gundogan in a forward midfield position, ever.

I am tired to saying that over & over again.


Did he start as CM against Norwich & Wolves as well ?

 

[Sky Blue]

Maybe. But with players out today, we needed KDB, Bernardo,Sterling to perform. KDB has got close to his level before he was injured last season but not quite reached that level.

We had so much possession in dangerous areas, we just lacked some composure at the end of the moves to kill them off. We were close to ovrwhelming them at times but just couldn't get that goal. I thought Klopp got away with it cos Liverpool hardly broke sweat. That might be a worry. We gave everything and got beat comfortably whereas Liverpool were at 60% and won.

Laporte and Sane will make a big difference. As will Foden when the manager finally gives him a chance. I am afraid that the Gundog always falls just a little bit short. Cost us again. He does it too often. I always think he's a weak link, and was surprised we started with Rodri and Gundogan.

Haha Liverpool at 60%…you don't half post some shite.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Fookin love vinny. He makes me think we can still win it! Lol

He’s such a big miss in our changing room.

pep get him back now

Pep brings Vinny back in January and we go on to win the PL! Now that would be the greatest hero story ever!

 

[Proy]

What I can't understand is how did gary Neville know before VAR that it wasn't a pen?

They will get information direct from the VAR team such is their pull. My issue is it isn’t being implemented the same, they have no big screen.

That was a blatant penalty and the decision was made in less than 30 seconds. That is not in keeping with the theme of this season so far.
