Match Thread | Liverpool vs. Man City (01/12/24)

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Being happy going in 1-0 down is embarrassing enough; the persistent Lewis tactic is baffling, enough data to show how it unbalances the shape as literally just have to wait and pounce when dragged across…

Yes we are threadbare but the system only ever works with a conditioned engine, we look like a boxer well past his best, with only a punchers chance left in the repertoire…

5 players wrong side of 30 and it shows

 

[Norbert D]

Hopefully they will get a bit leggy after the Madrid game. Pep needs to earn his £20m a year salary. What he’s won in the past is the past. Nunes is a sure fire red if he stays on. Plus he’s garbage. A 30% fit Doku would do better.

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Got away with one there.

Bernado and Walker standout as being particularly poor even in a performance as bad as this. We should be getting shot of both of them in January.

If it’s still 1-0 after an hour or so that ref will be desperate to give them a pen.

Hopefully Doku has twenty minutes in him and we can put a bit of pressure on them at some point. They’ve actually been pretty mediocre other than that first 15 minutes.

Either a penalty or we'll cop a sending off if he gets a chance.

Ake on the left is having a good game, as he tends to when he's given that job. Bernie off, Grealish on, put Nunes in the middle. KDB and another winger if we are still in it with 20 to go.

Nunes' first touch is so bad he'd be a liability in the middle against this team!

 

[sir baconface]

Good points:

Only 0-1 down.
More solid since first few minutes.
Dippers playing pretty shit too.

Whoopee!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Last 15 minutes should give a little hope. Nunes off for Doku, Bernardo off for Savinho with Lewis into the middle.

Bring on Kev and Grealish for Foden and Gundo on 60 minutes.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

He has lost them and that made me say before, will he ever start that new deal?

Big December coming up.

He's not lost anyone. They're still running for him, they're still playing his game, just the legs have gone. It's sport. It happens to the greatest. And this team has been the greatest.

 

[flb]

Two wingers and kdb on and this game will be on. I have a good feeling that we'll turn this around

Throw us a bag of those magic mushrooms

 

[MCFC1993]

Don't know whether we stemmed the tide or they just backed off.

Still in the game but not really.

 

[coolcity]

Ref is a ****, Slaah was miles offside

Only sensible comment on here

 

[stan bowles]

Probably what Pep would have taken at HT before the game. Hoping for a moment of excellence or, more likely, a mistake from them from complacency. If it stays 1-0 into the last 15 the crowd might get nervy and this might allow us a couple of chances to equalize.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Works so well against us

If only we would do it once or twice.
You never know it might suit haaland

 

[bondsman]

Haaland is feeding off nothing but to be honest I’m not sure this is a the game for him. Foden has been wank yet again.

ETH first touch making his task harder

 

[Frank the Yank]

How many times have we battered a team only to be 1-0 up at halftime and dropped points?? Quite a few.

 

[TinFoilHat]

So Ratboy alluding to problems with kdb there ????

Shit stirring rag ****

 

[cookster]

First goal is so similar to the one that Maddison scored last weekend.

 

[madloaf]

Two wingers and kdb on and this game will be on. I have a good feeling that we'll turn this around

 

[give it to gordon]

You forgot most of the dippers are on inhalers

 

[Father Paul]

Only 1-0
If we can keep it this way and make some attacking subs you never know.
Not great but not as bad as some are making out considering our current form.
We were never just gonna flick a switch and suddenly start being great again.

If we hold them out for the first 20 we might get something. We have to create more though or it will start to drift away.

 

[yankblue]

I don't know what some of you were expecting coming into this

We have a paper thin, injured, old and tired squad. Not much is going to change until we get some players back and reload in the coming windows
