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

[paulchapo]

Our fans chanting over a minute silence? Bellends

Yes it was poor but the bin dippers show no grace or respect to anyone and bricked our coaches after we observed the 25th anniversary impeccably so I understand some of our lot doing it.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Triple whammy as they can now bring players off to rest them for the league.

 

[blueabdi]

He has played one top game this season, the rest utterly underwhelming, although no surprise from me, he was so hyped up by the media at Villa.

Yea only UNITED game the rest he was poor

 

[malg]

I’d swap him for ward prowse

Oohh.......new thread alert....

 

[remember arthur mann]

Thought we could come badly unstuck even with the better players, we look absolutely shattered, surprisingly, quite a few fans at the stadium tend to agree.

 

[Keeper!]

Ferran Torres is younger and better, I don’t understand that one

He wanted out, move on but Ferran was a player that scored goals, Grealish is not and never will.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Do you really think our whole scouting team, director of football and manager were suckered into buying a player because of the English media?

Wed have been better paying a ridiculous 200 million for kane and not buying Grealish at all. No impact on any game this season apart from 1 fa cup goal against shit opposition

 

[Kamaro011]

Some people in here just go outside and get breath of fresh air.

Have a read some shit today in mtd, it's expected.

 

[kanovic]

I’ll swap Jack Grealish for Adama Traore

I’d swap him for a retired aguero that doesn’t even play lol

 

[mat]

The minutes silence cut short, could this day go any more wrong ?

Would we have had the silence of we'd played Forest today instead?

Not condoning the behaviour of the idiots who embarrassed us and have given the usual media wankers more ammo to fire at us.

 

[blue by birth]

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

Yet he wins the golden gloves regularly..
Steffan isn't good enough.. Decent enough but not top class.. Makes it impossible to play our usual game with his passing being iffy

 

[SWP's back]

We didn't? Did we?

We did.

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Linekar now sticking his oar in over minutes silence stopped due to chanting from City end ?
it’s usually people in the concourses making noise in those situations, unaware of what’s happening

 

[bluemoon32]

Should have just thrown the 3rd round game

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Pisses me off every time pundits say we have a cheat squad with two full teams that could win the league. We do t have that much depth really and circumstances meant that Liverpool were always going to muller us today. Deep down I think we all knew that. There’s no chance that we could be away versus them at home, us kicked by Atletico versus them being able to rest players for their bye to next round, us getting injuries and them getting none… and us not losing by 3, 4 or more. It’s probably been even worse than we could have expected though, so 5+ can’t be ruled out and that’s when it gets into the territory where it can impact the league.

 

[Dzeko9]

Not important game. Move on. We must focus on the league and ucl.

 

[FantasyIreland]

This game is, obviously, a write-off. Now we have to really dig deep to keep the league and the CL alive because we haven't played well for quite a while now and that CL draw was always a disaster. If Pep is bringing on subs I hope it's the youngsters to give them a taste of Wembley.

Midfield needs some attention in the Summer. We needcan enforcer, we're being outfought for every ball and looking very feeble.

The drop off when we remove our spine is huge,we suddenly become a mid table team at best.
We have no ability to drive forward and we have no ability to hold up the ball or cause defenders trouble.

We need a striker,maybe 2,a genuine pacey fearless winger,an enforcer,and at least 1 full back.Our squad depth is a myth.

 

[N1985]

Tell you what though.

There's some right cunts in here isn't there.

How the fuck you coped 20 years ago I'll never know.

 

[BlueRhubarb]

Time we got a new number 2. You can’t be soft at this level and pep has let his emotions pick the team. The only good thing to come from this is that we can now see who has either lost the fight or is not good enough moving forward.

Or who is currently physically or mentally knackered!

 

[chesterbells]

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

Haha
