City v Liverpool - Post Match Thread

[Blue Til Death]

Even when we completely anihilate the Dippers, they try to kick the face off our keeper and claim they are hard done too after the fact, we still somehow come out of the barrel of Roses stinking of shite. Turn the tables and they will win the quadruple and Sergio gets a 6 month ban for attempted murder... What fuckin agenda?????

In the end history only remembers the victors. FA Cup semi against the rags we were battered for 30 mins and could have been 3 nil down until a higher line was played. The sick swan was fairly even at 1 nil up until the sending off. We don't remember 'gosh that was lucky we could have lost those matches'. We only remember 'ha ha fuckin stuffed those rag twats' or City were rampant and was a turning point in the football power base etc etc etc.

Eh? When did we get "battered" against the Rags in the semi final???? Are you talking about a different game?

Seems an exaggeration. I thought they were the better side for the first 20 mins and missed one easy chance.

For the first 30 mins until the change to a higher line. Rewatch the match and you'll shit yourself how we started.

Torrid time is getting 5 spanked past you, 2 more disallowed and basically raising the white flag for most of the 2nd half pmsl.

Keep fighting the good fight Marv even if you are alone in doing so.............

I think that if we convert our chances with the same professionalism we showed in this game in future games then dwelling on defensive frailties will be simply a statistic and not something that seriously influences the result.
Not saying we should ignore defensive problems unless we stop scoring just get it in perspective.

Last season we lived with our attack being unable to shoot on target so defence got the Spanish Inquisition for single lapses, one swallow does not make a summer but touch wood if we get back to regular ruthless finishing we will be better equipped to fine tune the defence to deal with particular threats.

Unfortunately we will not play against teams who will come at us every week and beating a progressive attacking Liverpool team is a different proposition to defeating the massed ranks of two banks of four with 2 holding midfielders in the space that we will have to face week in week out mostly.

Sounds right until you look at our record against the 'better' sides who come at us, it's shockingly bad

What like the rags did at the Etihad or Chelsea did in the game at Stamford bridge?

Like who? Rags, Chelsea play counter against us, even Wenger is playing on the counter against us these days.
