Wouldn’t swap Pep for anyone…..but as so many other posters have said he is the greatest danger to us winning the champions league….why mess about with a formation that has plundered the goals we have so far…..Haarland has prospered on the supply line of two wide players and DeBruyne behind him….why oh why did he tinker with it.

Gundogan (great though he has been for us) very rarely performs against Liverpool because he just hasn’t got the legs….and today his ball retention was awful.

The tried and trusted formation of Foden on the right and Grealish on the left with DeBruyne behind Haarland would have won this game.

I always had the feeling he was going to do something different.
 
Bernado the only one who can hold his head high. Akanji by the way was dreadful. Looked like a mistake waiting to happen

Nothing dodgy about our disallowed goal. We need to stop with our victim mentality and grow a pair of bollocks. We got beat today because we are a bunch of shit bags at anfield

Correct we can't always scream cheats when things dont go our way, the goal was rightly disallowed and it hurts me to say that.

Miles off it. We've had a really easy start to the season and we were clearly unprepared for the intensity of that match except maybe Bernardo. We never seem to get it right there for whatever reason and we allow ourselves to get dragged into a dogfight with them which suits them much more than us. De Bruyne was totally anonymous stuck out on the right and Haaland was wasteful with the chances he had. You can't legislate for the mistake Cancelo made when last man against Salah. Phil might want to reflect on why he's been pocketed by Milner and Ashley Young already this season. No complaints over the disallowed goal - clear pull on Fabinho.

phil wasn’t pocketed by Milner. It’s like with Jack, all comes from Pep and instructions. Shocking tactics and not the first time.

I dont think so, he didnt get much chances. Our team were playing like fucking mental cases

Even if Liverpool only show up when they play us, it’s about fck time we show we are better and up for it by winning. Again we didn’t and bottle it.
Today it was plain evidence we are bottlers and I would go as far as this is the new “typical City”.

We worked hard but every single member of this squad is simply the perfect son in law. And in games like this it’s just not good enough.

We probably win the league and make fun of Liverpool. We have been the best team for over a decade. Yet we hardly are able to beat this lot. We bottled it. Again!!

Bollocks. You don't achieve what we have in the past decade by being bottlers.

Complete bottle job as per usual at Anfield.
Rattled and overwhelmed from the start.
They had fucking Milner in defence and we made him look good.
Pep can't handle this fixture and it doesn't bode well losing to a poor Liverpool side with loads of injuries.
Fucking awful
Our goal was harsh but that's the rules
Pep waving his arms like a lunatic did us no favours.
Advantage Arsenal.

Different rules apply to City, no other team gets microscopially scructinised as much as City.
 
Just seen the clip of Pep I think after our goal was ruled out.
Very unlike Pep he seems to let the scousers and kloop get to him. He doesnt normally get involved with the fans even if they are throwing things.

Once the players see that the dippers will love it and our players are thinking what's the fuck going on !
 
If anyone asks why we don't win the CL just send them a copy of this game. Rightly disallowed goal and the crowd got up for it and we fell apart. We'll done Cancelo and Pep.
 
That was poor from pep tbh, such conservative selection and tactics against a team short of confidence and form is disappointing to say the least and even after the failure of plan A he just stuck with it and brought Alvarez on as a last resort when there was a case of bringing Grealish on early in second half and targeting Milner. I also don't understand why Foden is being played on the left wing when he's far more dangerous and plays with more flair on the right wing as he demonstrated against United and i think Haaland prefers that too, it was one of those days where Pep over thought and made things needlessly difficult but we move on to the next one

Shit teams don't press like we do with a high line. That way we play is perfect for Liverpool, but a nightmare for other teams.
I can live with losing to Liverpool every season and winning the league, thanks :)

I don't think we pressed at all today, they passed out from the back very easily
