Liverpool (H) | Post match thread

[SWPISHOME]

Raz has had horrible luck with VAR in big games, especially at hone. It has to change soon
Thought he was ok today, his pace unsettled them but as ever his Achilles heel is being decisive when he has time to think. The early miss was unforgivable if we didn’t score from the resulting chaos

His finish from the offside goal was outstanding putting it through his legs, Pity he's not that composed all the time when he gets in.

 

[citymad]

His line up in the ucl final last year will always be his biggest fuck up.

zzzzzzzzz

Irrespective of what happens from here (and I'm confident we'll win the league after today), not replacing Aguero is the biggest f**k up of Pep's tenure.

That much is irrefutable.

Not Pep to blame for that one is it. FFP bollocks mean we can not go over budget for players and Kane (best available at the time) was priced out of our budget.

The £100m on Grealish would’ve been better spent on a striker but what do I know. I just think the amount of times a ball flashes across the 6 yard box and no one is anywhere near it is so frustrating.

We’ve started the second half poorly all season, i said it right from the off in the early games this season, this is from September:

About ¼ of the home stands hadn’t bothered getting back to their seats neither. While Liverpool fans had all got back to their seats, we’re well up for it and their team were the same.

Tbf it's a lot quicker nicking your half time refreshments than Queuing to pay!

My mate didn't even know they had scored, he said "been any chances"
I said " for them, they fuckin scored"

He was dumbstruck when studying the score board to see 2- 2 :-)

Thought Klopp had Pep's number, I remember when the media were all using that bs because of those two champions league games. We're the better side make no mistake about it, we're just a top striker away from being ruthless

They’ve beaten us once in the last 9 meetings. We are better than them.

 

[Vienna_70]

That was very enjoyable, but it really should have been over at half-time. We were far superior to them, but just couldn’t get the job done. The number of chances we spurned was unbelievable.

It was a great atmosphere, and the brilliant start only served to enhance it.

It was criminal how we let them back into the game. Twice. However, I’m sure Pep is happier with the point than Klippety.

Finally, it was great to see Ali B. 20 years since he was lighting up Maine Road. Where has the time gone?

Fucking love it, got my ticket sorted for next weekend for the semi a la dipperpool. CTID

 

[Ali B's Heel]

Should have won that. Liverpool are a fucking great team but we dominated even looking rusty at the back. Mahrez has to score that at the end

Looks like Matip got a touch on it to lift it over. Allison was well off for a chip to work. Milner, Fabinho & Thiago should all have seen red against us this season. No way they'd have survived a man down. Liverpool have been kept alive by the officials. All the fouls, 2 easy reds today, not so much as a mention after says it all. The ball looked already on its way from KDB when they froze the frame for Sterling's "offside". Don't let all that stop the best team from winning the title

 

[LongsightM13]

I'm still wondering why they got a free kick after Kev was hacked down?

Red card for Thiago, Taylor bottled it

 

[Grassland Blue]

Well played City but the crowd were absolutely fantastic. Think we did enough to win it and proved we are slightly better than Littlepool. A bit more clinical and we would have won 4 or 5-2. Some questionable ref decisions. Don't think he wanted to send anyone off. City still top and should go on now and win a 4th title in 5 years and a 6th in the last decade. Loved the whistles and boo's every time Littlepool had possession. The hostile Etihad. About time.

If the ref didn't want to send anyone off then he isn't fit to referee.
The dippers should have had at least one player sent off if he had stuck to the letter of the law!

 

[Blu1]

We should of won & out of sight at half time but we all know our lack of instinct in front of goal is an issue.

Thought Eddie, laporte, cancello & Raz worked really hard but showed a lack of composure at times.

Kev, Rodri, Bernie incredible everybody else very good.

peps tactics were spot on today.

surprised how quiet Liverpool fans were

 

[Groke]

We were excellent for the majority of that game today. We were completely dominant in the 1st half and should've been 3 or 4 up.

The two goals Liverpook scored were very preventable which is frustrating. Poor goalkeeping on the 1st and the 2nd Walker was half asleep.

Missed chances once again a theme and frustration and a reason I cannot see us not signing a striker next season. Put Haaland in some of the positions and the game is out of sight at half time.

Can't fault the lads though, I thought they were excellent for the most part, it's just frustrating to outplay them twice home abd away yet not beat them.

Hopefully we'll get more luck next weekend and hopefully a stronger ref who actually deals with terrible fouls. How Fabinho and Thiago stayed on the pitch today is beyond me.

Only slight positive is that Thiago won't be banned for next week...

Would really love a Bernardo brew and big coat flag for next season @M18CTID @Manchester33

Pep’s selection of Jesus today was almost a masterstroke, fair fucks

 

[we are the east stand]

Thought Walker was amazing today.

disappointing not to win, we proved we’re a far better overall unit than them.

prime Aguero would have got 3 today with the chances we created. At least.

 

[DTKOAG]

In that last 10 mins I’m thinking if these lot pinch a late winner how would that affect us for the game on Wednesday/Saturday and the rest of the season.
Never felt comfortable at all today.

 

[LongsightM13]

Great performance and very unlucky not to win.

Oh, but that Mahrez last minute one on one is going to replay in my head until the title is decided.

Hopefully it will turn out like the last time he skied a certain goal v the cult…
He knows he owes us two points now so hope that motivates him even more for the games to come

 

[Josh_D]

Sorry Josh but given our propensity to waste chances we have to do more than turn up for our remaining games.

You’re not wrong there…the defence will need to also improve. I’m hoping the lads step it up and finish champions

That much is irrefutable.

There was no striker available that was capable of replacing Sergio last summer, I don’t know why people struggle to understand this. Harry Kane wasn’t for sale and Dortmund wanted billions for Haaland.
