Liverpool (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

We never learn. They play with practically 10 behind the ball. They double and triple up on the supply line to any quick ball into the box. We are too slow against them. We push up more and more to the halfway line with our last man.
They press hard,win a loose ball and break with speed behind us.
Every time.

Exactly. As I said in the pre-match thread. You could see it coming a fucking mile off because we do it time and time and time again and never learn.

Why are they wankers? If foden can't block that out he is the wanker

Think that's a bit harsh calling Phil a wanker. Wanker, that's you mate not Phil.

 

[come-on-barney]

Foden should have roasted Milner.

If Pep had allowed him yes.

 

[blue moony]

and that happened 100 times during the match and not a sausage was given.

Happens at every fucking corner everyweek

He was right there and waved play on

Guarantee other way round its a goal

 

[Frankie lad]

It’s like they are meeting a celebrity every time they play them.
All shy and not themselves.
It doesn’t happen at OT just here.

 

[Sibierskii]

Whats wrong with the bloke? Txiki should sign a shrink

 

[OB1]

Under orders... surely

I'll never forgive Pep for the Porto final... Today felt the same, change the team for Liverpool.. All it did was send the message "we're scared of you"

Never forgive Pep.

Dear me.

 

[Slipper One]

One team playing to their strengths and one not.

Speed is the essence of a Liverpool attack and they used that to good effect.

Haaland, with his strength and outstanding ability to find the net and supported by some of the most creative midfielders in the game today was largely redundant.

I couldn't see anything but a win today. Pep is a good manager, but he's not quite what the media portray him to be and is on song when everything is going right for him, but lacks vision at the very top level. Ancelotti for instance, would have got far more out of the team today and probably three points.

We can argue all day about the VAR decision, but in all honesty the result could easily have been 4-2 if they'd converted.

Not by beating Liverpool we haven't though. Semi final CL game this year, we play Liverpool, you'd groan at the thought.

But the point being that the champions league doesn't go through Anfield. Not sure what your point is. If it's "would I want to play liverpool in the Midweek Cup". Then the answer is no. But then I don't like playing anyone in that fucking competition..

 

[danielwood5]

Did we out play them? Were we better?

Did they outplay us? Were they better?
It was an end to end game with both teams playing with different tactics to nullify the other. Both teams scored a goal but one got the win.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Fairly typical performance from us at Anfield. Miss some good chances, have a decision go against us (which I thought was probably the right call) and a sucker punch on the counter from some dismal defending.

 

[Chris B]

It’s Anfield this seems to always happen to us! A long long way to go and we given the scouse kunts a big boost!

Our goal Liverpool score it Var wouldn’t have even looked at it! Half dozen Liverpool players surrounded the referee and moaned like fuck so var had a look till they found something! City players wouldn’t of even bothered asking the referee anything we would of gone to the half way line to kick off..

And of course, the nodding heads in the studio would have agreed it was a different phase of play and so City had no case.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

We bottled it at Anfield again. Worrying to much about control instead of attacking a week defence. Joao will probably get the blame for the goal but the absolutely woeful free kick from KDB directly before it led to that situation. A bad day at the office all round.

I said as much in the match day thread. Putting the ball directly in to Allison’s hands with everyone forward was terrible. All the tall men forward and Cancelo last man back.

Kev was not at the races today.

 

[bluemoon32]

Our arses went yet again at Anfield, why the fuck are we so scared of playing there ?

 

[BlueRhubarb]

Goal correctly disallowed, enough chances to at least get a point and a typical City away at Anfield performance where we give them too much respect, don’t play our game and appear to wilt under the pressure and not get out of third gear.

 

[oddfellows]

Exactly. As I said in the pre-match thread. You could see it coming a fucking mile off because we do it time and time and time again and never learn.

Salah had a dress rehearsal on 50 odd minutes, good save from Eddy tbf, he wasn't going to miss again

 

[Goldust]

Probably didn’t trust Cancelo on the left all game v Salah and played him on the right where he is shit
Been at least 10 years since we signed a proper Left Back and it keeps costing us

And some say Gomez is the player no chance.

 

[StoneBlue1]

Would love to turn up at Anfield just once. Too worried about what they might do.

They apply the rules for all teams but for us they apply them that little bit more

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

And can I just say anyone moaning about our disallowed goal needs to give their head a wobble, Fabinho had won the ball and Erling pulled him. It’s 100% a foul.

I agree but I am wondering why Allison not holding the ball then bobbling it doesn’t constitute a change of possession though. Foul in the build-up is still a rule I can’t understand very well.
