Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Liverpool (04/04/26)

[borassic]

Can’t be at the game today, out of town at a family do. Checked the length of the match day thread, realised we must be winning as it is less than 80 pages by half time.

Is Haaland still a poor man’s Troy Deeney?

First few pages has a few corkers mate

 

[Gabriel]

There’s plenty room over the top today if someone is prepared to knock it long and early for Haaland.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

A

There was only 1 person challenging him, usually we play too slow and Haaland would be surrounded by 3 players.

As per HT analysis, he drifted left to clear space that he could then run into.
Very clever goal in so many ways…

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Weird half Liverpool should have been at least 2 up, then we suddenly score 2 out of no where, what the fuck VVD was doing 5 yards back heeling it instead of going for goal god knows

Should have been 2-0 up? Come again?

Not bad for a league one striker

In a season when many have said he's not been at his best and have been calling for him to be dropped...

He's judged on a different level to us mere humans.

 

[Danny Tiatto]

Both domestic cups and keeping Arsenal honest in the league is a really strong sign of progression from last year’s clown show, I’ll be more than happy with that.

This team will win the league next year. Not all the new lads have been 10/10 signings but even just Khus, Cherki and Nico’s development have transformed the team.

A long way to go to be back to our highs (which we’ll probably never reach again and we shouldn’t expect to) but we’re deffo moving in the right direction.

Still think we’ll win it this year.

Can see us storming through our final matches

We were second best for a lot of that half so it's great to be winning two nil. Let's hope we play better second half and get through.

Second half……..worrying time

Should have been 2-0 up? Come again?

Yeah no chance. They had 2 half chances and we had 1 half chance before the penalty.

Sorry for all those that dislike XG, but Liverpool’s is currently 0.28 goals expected from that half.

 

[uwerosler28]

Should have been 2-0 up? Come again?

Yeah right in front of me Ekiteke blasts over from 10 yards then VVD black heals instead of going for goal when 5 yards out, could easily have been 2 up

 

[Why are you Guehi?]

Wrong room?

 

[jollylescott]

O'Reilly has been classy again. He's right up there with our best players this season.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

If Doku released the ball faster in congested spaces, our counterattacks would be much more dangerous.

We've already scored 2, don't be greedy.

I agree with you btw; )

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

Cherki, thats all that needs saying.

 

[heslops barnet]

Loving it
Here in Lady Di pub in Sliema, Malta with a lot of Maltese Liverpool fans.

Their silence now at h/t is deafening haha

Make sure they don’t minesweep your ale

Should have been two penalties and out of sight , game is similar to the Cup final against the Goons , Dippers had a good 20 minutes and then we grew into the game , Khusanov brilliant again , be surprised if the Dippers come back from this , their team havent got the minerals just like their lightweight fans , they will f*ck off with 20 minutes to go if this stays the same.

 

[uwerosler28]

Wrong room?

What room you on about im sat in the north stand

 

[Bald fraud]

O'Reilly has been classy again. He's right up there with our best players this season.

Spot on’ cemented his place in that team now and play anywhere. Lads a baby and will only improve

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Even then I'd hold off the vinegar stroke.

Coinciding with the final whistle!
