Match Thread | Liverpool vs. Manchester City (08/02/26)

[OldhamBlue94]

Fantastic half that! Just need to score

 

[Danny Tiatto]

Very impressive first half but I think we are going to regret not having anything on the scoresheet to show for it.

 

[citytill1die84]

Quality 45 minutes from the blues but we should definitely be winning.

Missed chances again ffs.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Fuck off Haaland. Another abject display.
May as well take him off and save him for the world cup.

 

[daztrueblue91]

One of the best half’s of the season for me. Unlucky not to score but need Semenyo and Haaland to offer a bit more.

Hopefully, we can put a similar performance in the second half in because we’ll lose the game if we revert to type.

 

[Zenmanc]

Meh. IMO O'Reily's made alot of mistakes. Would pop Reindeer in for RAN and put NicoO at LB. Making no moves down the wings, Cherki in for Marmoush - Semenyo left wing, Cherki right.

IDK. Looks a bit flat.

 

[noseve]

A battle of the half-time talks - who's your money on?

 

[Cuban heels]

semenyo off Cherki on

 

[Gobshiight]

Good so far but lacking creativity, unsurprisingly. Haaland looking better but still not sharp enough in the duels

Wish the rest of the team hated Liverpool half as much as Silva does

 

[citymad]

Good half overall. Bernie and Guehi outstanding. Concerned that Semenyu is not the answer to our need for a fast skillful winger. Very average looking. He keeps coming inside crowding the play.

 

[Goater101]

The best chance we’re gonna get to win at Anfield. If we don’t capitalise it’ll sum up th season. Cherki on at half time the front 3 is shite.

 

[SWPISHOME]

It's games like this that cost us, we really should be ahead in this game, not sure if Liverpool are going to be that poor in the second half.

Really poor from us in the final third today. Haaland really needs to get his finger out, he's way off it.

O'Reilly and Bernie having a cracking game in midfield.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Quite a good half without really creating many clear cut chances. Hopefully we can avoid the dreaded second half drop off.

Cherki off the bench at some point to finish them off.

 

[stan bowles]

As a team we've done everything well except score. Need to see a lot more from Haaland and Semenyo though. They've both been too peripheral.

 

[jimharri]

That's that then; we needed to be 3 ahead to maybe fluke a draw.

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Erling Bradbury off … Omar in the middle and Cherki on and we might win this.

Guehi magnificent, Pawson is a cun7.

Come on City, we’ll never get a better chance to win here as Anfield is silent.

 

[WallyA]

Donna seems to be asked to use his feet to for build up alot more this last month than earlier.

Semenyo seems kinda pointless in this midfield role, he isnt good enough on the ball.

Overall not bad, Liverpool not impressive, we are slightly better, let's hope we can not capitulate 2nd half.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Rodri has dominated the game too.

 

[colorado blue]

Bernie best player so far. Can see why Pep always picks him, never stops running. Semenyo in the middle isn’t working. Cherki would rip this team apart. What has happened to Haaland.

 

[Micky Blue]

Because he's good at it.

Was a good way to give away possession when he had runners.
