Liverpool v City - post match thread

[BigOscar]

Fucking shit, to a man, Pellegrini the worst of the bunch. Why on earth he doesn't seem to realise that midfield is actually quite a useful area of the pitch is beyond me. When the two Fern's are getting overrun in the middle, why the fuck would the solution be to take two of the midfielders of and bring on two more strikers? It makes literally no sense.

I thought we were poor but perfectly safe before the first goal, which Hart should never in a million years let in, but after that we were all over the place. Otamendi and Kompany were awful, as was the complete lack of shape. Pellegrini clearly hasn't set any kind of tactics if he thinks you can just randomly throw strikers on and expect a formation and system to just magically appear. Just shockingly poor stuff.

The shit thing is that we saw in the previous two games this week what we are capable of when we actually have a fucking plan, which makes it all the more annoying that Pellegrini decides to use tactics so infrequently. Fuck this season, let's just hope we can scrape our way into the top four and bring on next season and a manager who actually considers the middle of the pitch being a useful thing to have some fucking control over.

They deserve pelting with coins, bag of piss and shit. Then they might get the message that they're a bunch of overpaid, under-performing, spineless cunts. That's how angry I am tonight.

And you should be removed from being a mod.

Publicly ? Like on Twitter or Facebook ? It was heat of the moment an PB is usually one of the calmest members of the forum, it takes a lot to piss him off so wind your neck in and cut him some slack.

Exactly , a witch hunt for one of the best posters on the forum.

They deserved booing off for that showing tonight , the players , manager and hierarchy should know we won't put up with half arsed dogshit performances like that.

At least have one midfielder on the bench - youngster among Fernando and fernandinho might have least give us some enery and enthusiasm. The youngsters at the Rags are getting them better results than the senior players, bet no-one thought Ally was going to have a great season. There is a difference throwing one young player in than doing what we did at the Chavs.

Yeah on reflection someone like A.Garcia playing with the Ferns would have been better. Still would have seen Fernandinho taken off though.

Disgraceful comment from anyone, let alone a moderator.

There's been a lot worse said in recent months.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Domestically we have failed to win in 5 games, losing 4.
3 PL losses
1 FA Cup loss
And a draw in the COC Final.

W 0 D 1 L 3 , and yet there's a cup in our trophy cabinet , the Rags have won 4 on the bounce and have achieved nowt , every cloud.

 

[jaiguruKun]

It's his excuse for the loss that gets me. Tiredness. Does that explain why we haven't beaten anyone in the top 8. The man is not worthy of managing a top club. If he had any dignity left he should resign. The trophies we have won have nothing to do with his management. We should have got Hiddink at the start of this season.

 

[Monkchester]

Deary deary me!! I honestly didn't see that coming and I actually thought we'd win by two clear goals.......as the old saying goes "You what thought did?.....followed a muck cart thinking it was a wedding!!

We have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down, and move on.

Deary Deary Me !!!!! The last time i said that I was ridiculed to death for years - even from South Africa that does not anywhere near describe that performance !!!

 

[cookster]

Yeah their work rate was phenomenal. They played like I feared they would Sunday. Its plain to see that this team is nearing the end of its cycle-injuries have really not helped. I don't blame Pellegrini-I think he's done well to get us to a point this season where we were challenging and were able to win some silverware. But hyperbole aside the team were shattered tonight and completely outplayed.

And we were tired against all top 8 sides this season, no. Same mistakes made week after week.
Some player may be at the end of the cycle but with better management we would still be top of this poor league. 33 points from the last 22 games is fraud with the squad we have.

 

[Stoned Rose]

A lot of posters are missing the context (again).

An aging squad, many of which will already know they're on their way and probably couldn't give 2 fucks.

Not been interested in the league all season.

Just won a 'send off' cup so 'job done'.

CL being heavily prioritised.

Can't believe anyone expected anything from tonight's game to be honest.

 

[TheRisingoftheNorth]

Takes us 5 minutes to work the ball down the field and in 10 seconds it is back in our penalty area.

This, in one sentence, is what is wrong with this City team

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Mangala has to replace ottamendi

I'm not sure this squad is as good as people believe-as you say 'time and time again' . Without injuries we could have gone close but the team was declining last season.

 

[bondsman]

30 points to play for says I'm more optimistic than deluded and not ready to be a pussy.

Knowing leicester have never been here and Spurs usually bottle it says I'm more calm than throwing in the towel.

It's the 2nd of March.

Utd Chelsea Arsenal and Southampton to play. Leicester easy run in. You might not be a pussy but you're still deluded.

Well he's angry like a lot of us,maybe he could of worded it better,like instead of pelting the players with coins it should be aimed at pellegrini and his god awful tactics ...

Kompany tries to get the players to go over to the fans who've just watched that shit show - some of them still couldn't be arsed.[/QUOTE]

Name and shame please. The very least you can do is go over, clap back and say sorry. We can all lip-read

I've never said the squad is not good enough to win the league? The Manager clearly isn't

 

[Paul_Powers_Tash]

Lol you ask a question by abusing him. Doesn't even warrant an answer.

Because you don't have one. How can a manager have the best squad in the league and yet fail to win a single game against the top 8?

 

[Phelan's Pace]

Ha I'm not on the Internet to row. Let's see hey? We are in a position yet where we are8 behind with not so many points to play for. We are where we are with 30 juicy points to play for, with No United and fergie to battle. Chill out.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

The players that Txiki Begiristain has brought in are utterly woeful. He was also responsible for bringing in Pelligrini. Pelligrini has rightly copped a load of shit as hes been crap. He's not wholly responsible though.A large portion of the blame can be attributed to Txiki Begiristain imo. We are in a far worse position now in regards to the 1st team than when he arrived. Lets hope his main man Pep is going to bail him out as he has had a shocker imo. Over 50 million for Otamendi and Mangala, absolutely clueless.
