Match Thread | Man City vs. Liverpool (23/02/25)

[Keeper!]

Any other keeper would have at least made an effort! He’s got to be one of the worst shot stoppers in the league!

Make an effort , it was the easiest goal they will score all season. you want him to dive for the cameras?

 

[Stoned Rose]

I'd throw Grealish or Nunes on for de Bruyne. Grealish can at least keep possession and him/Nunes would have more energy in the middle.

The only thing I’d be throwing Nunes on is a bonfire.

If we turn this one around I will get that famous Welsh railway station tattooed down the length of my man shaft

Thinly veiled brag

 

[wattle]

We signed Marmoush for 59m as Haaland’s backup and yet he’s nowhere to be seen in our box. If we wanted to play false 9 I’d rather KDB be in there or just not on the pitch.

We didn’t. He’s not a centre forward. Although he’s more of one than Foden

 

[AliAdel]

Kdb is a passenger in this game

 

[RiversideBlue]

Kev now is like Superman when he lost his powers.

This is on the back of 11 days rest too btw.

Maybe he spent those 11 days shagging Lois Lane

For the 2nd goal Szobozlai was deemed to be 'not interfering with play' when he was initially offside although then was found by Salah and scored. How's that work out then?

Shit offside rule. Ridiculous

 

[Russian Hat]

I appreciate their second goal wasnt offside under the current rules but, how the fuck can you be not affecting play, if the pass is intended to go to you. Stupid rule.

And scored but wasn’t interferring

Rhyl?

 

[Alexia_Ko]

He already has a hattrick and had one chalked off today. Give the fucker a chance.

I’m not criticising him, just the tactics

 

[Taylor]

It doesn't help that the players keep getting injuries all of the time

So they can't get a settled defence

True, and the lack of recruitment.

Lewis is a shocking defender.

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Kev now is like Superman when he lost his powers.

He’s just plodding around like he doesn’t give a fcuk anymore.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

We were toothless, but has been a reasonably good half otherwise. Should we show a bit more quality final pass or shot result would be better. In terms of control, its inevitable to loose 3/4 counters against strong Liverpool team and they have been clinical. Big mistake from Rico first goal unfortunately. Its been his area for such scenario.

Doku good, all Omar, Savinho and Foden few good link ups, but generally they need to do much better.

Different phase of play maybe.

 

[super_city_si]

We are both playing with false 9s why are they scoring and we aren't.

They hit the wings early and create an overload. We walk up field to face a bank of 10.

 

[Dax777]

Why was gonzales only jogging back for their 2nd goal?

He is more positioning than hustle. Sadly

 

[Keeper!]

We've played well.

But we haven't got anyone to score the goals.

VVD won't have any easier Afternoon.

Foden isn't a false no 9.

this Foden is not a footballer, where has he gone?

 

[Stoned Rose]

We are both playing with false 9s why are they scoring and we aren't.

They’re better than us.

 

[BooksReject]

Lol. We've not played well. What is this shit. When did you, as a football fan,decide that playing well was keeping the ball in the middle third for 45 Minutes.

I said ‘comparitively’

I’ve watched us play fucking dross over the last few months so hoped we would at least turn up today.

Some of them have

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Foden should be dropped for a few games.
