Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

[Zinchilla]

He strung the club along for a year ‘negotiating’ and thus denying us a transfer fee when he had already agreed a deal with Liverpool including a £6m signing on fee

His first contract at Liverpool was worth about £33m including the couple of mill signing on fee and other bonuses, but unsurprisingly the papers reported it at the time as a free transfer and that he’d taken a pay cut. Twisted facts to suit the narrative constructed by the agressive LFC PR dept. His last contact review took his salary to a basic £140k pw. Decent for a player his age. Fair play to his agent. I’ve no problem with him moving for money and an even more secure future, so agree I don’t get the greedy bastard tag, but it’s a snidey bastard trick for making out that he was moving because he didn’t have 1st team guarantees at City and was going to be a regular central midfielder at LFC, which has never been the case, he never usurped Henderson or Wijnaldum. So perhaps he gets the shit because he moved without grace or class.

Originally watched the game with Sky commentary and just watched it again with NBC's The difference in partisanship is astoundingly obvious with Tyler creaming himself whenever Liverpool did something good to it being almost funereal for us was palpable. The trio of Arlo White, Lee Dixon & Graeme Le Saux was noticably more professional in their calling and pointing out the good and bad from both sides equally. If this happened to LIverpool you just know that there'd already be a 5,000 strong petition to get Tyler to retire.

Sorry to upset you @Psychedelic Casual but it’s just my opinion. I rarely feel angry about our ex-players (apart from YaYaToure!) but today Milner got my goat! One to agree to disagree I guess. :-)

Not upset EB, just don’t get it. We give Milner proper small time bluster.

And Yaya n’all. I absolutely fucking love him, none of that shit that happened off the pitch has made a blind bit of difference what I think of him. He‘s the best player we’ve had! Monumental player and I think our fans’ reaction to him is even more bizarre than the Milner stuff.

Roy Keane slagged off the entire United fanbase, manager and club, yet Rags still idolise him. Yaya loved the City fanbase and had a few moans about not getting a cake and said Pep doesn’t like African players (which he has subsequently apologies for), yet some of our fans (thankfully a minority and mainly only on Bluemoon) hate him for it.

The non red card was "bizarre" according to MotD.

They should start looking at how many of the decisions over the years have been bizarre.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Hahaha

It was bizarre by everyone's judgement, even including most Liverpool fans and club representatives. I'd like to hear PGMOL's explanation, or Tierney's. Compare that to Cancelo's booking!

Tierney is a dreadful referee though. He's not reached the FIFA list based on his ability. He's probably been promoted by Riley, and as a consequence of that, he's now very firmly in Riley's pocket, one of many doing his bidding.

We've had the week-from-hell fixture-wise, and yet the shots counts have been:

Chelsea 5 - 15 City
PSG 6 - 18 City
Liverpool 6 - 12 City

... with average finishing we'd have won all three comfortably. A very satisfying week, with the only worry being (as ever) how many chances we need in order to score a goal.

I agree and they are amazing stats and to think pretty much everyone else were writing us off before that week of fixtures.
We have made people realise that we are still an incredible side with the best manager in the game and we will take some beating in every competition, yet again!

I luv City and felt especially proud with the way we played each game this week.

What a team! What a club!

CITY, CITY, CITY...

 

[Bantamgaz]

City excellent

ref bent and embarrassing

 

[Nascent Blues]

We've seen the champions today, it's City again, ladies and gents!

The proverbial penny has been dropped this week and nobody will last the pace with this team as it moves through the weeks ahead.

Haaland is coming...

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

 

[Shaffer92]

I'd still have Mahrez over Jesus, still not convinced by Gabby on the right

you're not convinced by anything, fordy

Whilst I see where you’re coming from I don’t agree with your last sentence about the minority and mainly only on BM as all the fans I speak to do not like Milner, divided opinions on Toure but I think he’s a bit like Piers Morgan, either like or dislike very few in between, but if that makes me appear petty minded so be it. I can’t help my opinions. That’s my nature. :-)

 

[Mancity1980]

How many times a game does the average City fan say ‘imagine if we had a striker’?

55,097

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

55,097

Not me.

I prefer the way we play without one.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Hahaha

What’s Phil the face doing there?

Every city fan surely loves Toure the player. He is genuinely the best midfield player to ever play in the premier league when you take into accoubt 2013/14. Guys immense. Yaya the man is abit of a tosser and probably abit thick but I love him and I reckon make city fans do for what he did for us. Milner is a slime ball who has forever burnt his bridges at city. Fuck him.
