City v Liverpool - Post Match Thread

[paulchapo]

Thought Pep got it wrong playing a back 3 and while it was 11 v 11 we were getting battered down our left in the space behind Mendy. Wasn't especially confident even at 1-0. But thought we were absolutely brilliant once they went down to 10 men, truly stunning football at times, although Liverpool's utter capitulation was a bit odd, why they didn't fancy fighting and getting something from the match at 1-0, I have no idea. Being down to 10 men was no excuse for how they performed.

Cannot believe that I drove home listening to all and sundry describing it as a debatable red card. Fucking awful stuff from our scouse biased media who conveniently seem to have forgotten the rules of the game because it was one of their boys who got the red. He didn't mean to do it?! I'm sure he fucking didn't, shame that it is totally irrelevant. I imagine you'd be hard pushed to find a ref anywhere in the world who would look at a replay of that and say that it wasn't a red but oh no, it should have been a fucking yellow and we somehow got a bit of luck! Listened to an interview with Klopp (I used to like him and cannot believe what a **** he has become since being infected by that club) and the interviewer was saying how she had seen Ederson around the ground after the match and he was saying that he had too. The whole tone came across like they were accusing us of cheating. Fucking disgusting stuff quite honestly.

A special mention for the liverpool fans in level 3. Absolute fucking scum of the earth. Been to best part of 1000 matches and can't ever remember fans booing a player like that when it looks like a bad injury, just not done. From a club that talks about the liverpool way and seem to think that they're a class act, they should be fucking ashamed.

Spot on 100%! I wasn't sure why Pep wasn't trying to address that space, all their threat was coming down there and we were a little lucky to get away with it. At long last we scored first with a decent chance instead of spurning it, then the sending off and that was that really. We totally controlled the game and Liverpool were pretty gutless, maybe it was because we were so good, it became like a training exercise for us.

Yes we thrash a top team 5-0 and all the talk is to make it sound like we robbed them, hardly any praise for us, we should expect nothing less I suppose, the media have probably sunk as low as they can regarding us, we are becoming numb to it.

Scum, complete and utter today the dippers. I haven't heard a reaction like that to a player's injury since Pardoe was stretchered off at the swamp with a broken leg and they sang, " We hope you've broke your leg!" I watched their reaction as he went off today and they were all booing and leaping around snarling and giving it the V's. At that time it looked awful and they didn't know any different. More should be made of that in the arse licking media, let's put this myth they are model fan's to bed once and for all!

This made me chuckle on a Liverpool forum. not having the best of times the OX is he.

"Personally I think it's all down to the ox he played for arsenil and lost 4-0 then played for us and lost 5-0".

Up until the sending off it was an even game, two good attacking sides both with poor defences.
Otamendi was poor in that first thirty minutes and Stones wasn't much better.
We will never win the league with such sloppy play in defence.

Cheer up ffs. We won 5 - 0. The media might not want to give us any credit, but our own fans.....

1. Have to defend Ottamendi a little he was a bit off the pace maybe, but Mane in the number 10 and Salam in No 7 positions were very good and any defenders would struggle, with the red one problem was solved but I for one cannot understand why Klipperty took off Salah at HT.

We battered them, the 2 Liverpool fans we know who came down for the game were in Afflecks and Browns three quarters the way through the game having a pint, totally pissed off

I thought before the red card we were actually a bit more well organised. I mean they did almost exploit our left sided problem,but barring that they didn't look like they had any means of getting behind us.

But don't forget that even with 11, their midfield was diabolical. They couldn't even muster a decent press half the time.

Nico's failure to cut out the pass, which led to his yellow, and the subsequent free-kick was poor, but after that, I thought he had a very good game.

Great performance. Nice to finally see us play with the right tempo and press.

Liverpool couldn't live with our press even 11v 11.

Only concern remains the centre backs first half hour they were all over the show and Otamendi was a liability at times.

I thought the big surprise was Danillo in a more central role he was calmer.

Spot on about tempo and Danilo, very versatile. Not all Ottamendi fault, where was Mendy when we were under Pressure..?
That said, 5 fucking nil.....YEEEEEEEESSSS
