Who knows? They’re gormless.. Liverpool never play with less than 2 shielding midfielders, often with 3 as you say.. I spoke with a Liverpool supporting friend this week and described how Pep’s tactics schooled them last week (pressurising their wing-backs to reduce their threat; pulling their midfield around to create space to attack the back line; and in doing all that, nullifying supply to their ‘world-beating front three dream team’) He eventually accepted my assertion they’d ‘been schooled’. These media types/commentators are just too thick to see what’s in front of them..

The fuckers infuriate me, trotting our cliche after cliche with no insight or understanding behind it. They decide their narrative pre game and stick to it like glue.

Shouldn’t have to but I’d willingly pay a premium for a no commentary option

He seems like that sort of lad doesn’t he?

I used to work with a lad called Haco who was from the same town David’s from. He knows the Silva family and said they’re all really nice.
 
From what I caught this half, Rodri playing well, passing forward. Foden gliding past players and linking up well. Merlin doing what he does best. Mahrez ffs. Also so a nice cross from Jesus while on the wing (would like to see how he’d play in that position for an extended period) and seems to have gotten a goal.

Good game so far.

It may be harsh but I have no faith whatsoever, from a defensive point of view, in City's present back four. Against a top team and good attacking players we would be in serious trouble with Zinchenko, Otamendi, Stones and Cancelo at the back. I honestly would not care if they sold the lot of them.

You could be in the middle of shagging Helen of Troy and you’d be moaning about Achilles being a bit of a heel.
 
All mcminimum does is repeat what the lead commentator says but 2 seconds later, cos he has to wait for the brain cell to load the words !
 
Difference between today and Southampton? Movement off the ball, that trademarked third run in behind has lead to both goals, when sterling plays on the left he doesn’t make that run or if he does he retreats with the ball instead of playing it across because he simply refuses to use his left foot. Get sterling back on the right.

Cancelo has impressed me again, we need to keep walker ticking over but we should be giving him as much game time as possible, possibly even at left back when walker needs a run out considering Mendy’s European suspension.

Absolute masterclass from David Silva. I refuse to accept he won’t be around the next time I watch City, we’ve got months to perfect age reversal/human cloning
