Match Thread | Man City vs Liverpool FA Cup (16/04/22)

[Keeper!]

And people want to give Fern a new contract, FFS open your eyes, he's done and has been for over a season.

It will cost us in the final part of the season, Rodri and Silva both running on empty, just like last year

 

[axlgod]

I hope pep fucking reams them.

So do I, I hope he’s that fucking mad he rips his own head off and throws it at them.

 

[Briggs1969]

Where do you start with this?

 

[Dazzle84]

I've fucking sat around all day waiting for this and get that. Fernandinho is absolutely done, which is a great shame after everything he's given.

I don't need to say anything about the goalie.

I'm going to continue to watch because I hope for some type of fightback

 

[BLUEinTheUSA]

The game against Atletico isn't an excuse for this.

Yes, it absolutely is.

 

[mat]

Simeone will be getting the freedom of Dipperland.

 

[samuelyeboah]

Bullshit.

fuck off, we've traveled and played 105 grueling minutes against the most draining team in europe to play against having no rest, having 2 of your most important players injured. your opponents rested their entire team!! this is not a fair fucking contest

 

[Kazzydeyna]

Pep sacrificed this one. I can understand his decision. This match just shows how vital for the way we play is that we have Eddie, Rodri, KdB and Cancelo on the left with Walker on the right

And if we win in Europe and win the league we can give him it.
If however a huge shellacking rips the confidence out of the team and we don’t win the title and the CL then yet again in a big pivotal game the game is lost before kick off.

Imagine the confidence coursing through the scousers after this.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Thiago, Diaz and Mane are taking the piss out of our defence.

This wouldn’t be hurting quite so much if Mahrez had won the game in the dying seconds the other week. I will be gutted if we don’t win the league.

 

[Gazza]

What a bag of shite.
At least they're playing the Buzzcocks at HT.

We might stand a chance of beating them.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Fantasy. Out of interest who would be in your starting 11?

Our strongest 11.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Toothless. Get Steffen, Zinchenko and Bernardo off. Ederson, Dias and Kdb on.

Why? so they can desperately chase a 3-0 game and risk getting injured while doing that?

 

[Jason]

Goalkeeper was a poor choice, but the outfield players pretty much picked

?

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Sterling has been poor so long and he starts most of the game, i don't know what pep sees him
Grealish was poor.
we need Rodri, KDB and Mahrez for Sterling, Grealish and foden

The game is won and lost I’m afraid. Why risk players we will need for the run in and for Real?

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Toothless. Get Steffen, Zinchenko and Bernardo off. Ederson, Dias and Kdb on.

for what reason? It’s too late, let these carry on

 

[Gogootz]

Does this game count for Ste Tudors head to head games?

 

[give it to gordon]

Still our ladies played well earlier

 

[madloaf]

On Pep again though surely?

Unless his mind simply on throwing this game and concentrating on PL and CL?!

I don't know if this one is on pep mate. Weve had to run ourselves mentally and physically into the ground against Atheltico because we don't finish our chances? And now we're suffering coz of it?

 

[vmsuhail]

Not so sure. Think Ederson keeps all 3 out personally

Definitely not all 3. It's Ederson, he doesn't save that many.

 

[SidJames]

Embarrassing and disgraceful. They will throw the title too

At risk of being called a mard Arse.

For me It is a real fear.

Losing 5,6,- 0 at this stage of the season will be a fucking disaster for our confidence..

Pep hung us out to dry against a full strength Liverpool side today.

Sure he had to make changes......................but come on !!!!!!!.

We literally have no midfield it is astonishing.
