[Tolmie scores]

Because he was static and didn't attempt a single recovery run. Giving KDB licence to play a free role is all well and good, but it takes Stones to plug midfield and leaves us 3 on 3 at the back and super vulnerable to long balls. I agree Haaland is a bloody passenger and I cannot recall a single challenge he won, and Alverez passed to more red shirts than he did blue.

Alvarez, for a world cup winner well.... he is amazing when it comes to just whacking it without thinking..Top instinct..ask him to play..he is pretty poor tbf

When you put all them things together, which I agree with by the way, a point is very welcome.

Normally 2 on 1 off.

Normally yes, but I think they’ve taken next seasons dose as well this year.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

I trust our sports psychologists won't be taking a salary this week.
Another shitting whippet performance at Klanfield.

I'm assuming that Pep will be having a chat with Kev about that. Whatever about Kev being an outstanding player, you can't go showing dissent/displeasure with the manager in public. Say what has to be said in the privacy of the training facility. That was disappointing from Kev.

Bollocks. Pep could do sometimes with someone telling him what's going on. Pep was watching that game get away from us, we have fucked a huge opportunity and he needs to be told it.

 

[MadchesterCity]

On that showing we ain’t winning the league this season

Bollocks

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Again??

When was the last time the treble winners and world champions bottled it???

At Anfield. Every season.

 

[bluwes]

Doesn’t matter who is in the team going back several seasons we arrive there with the better team and almost without fail we shit ourselves and can’t win

 

[blueballs84]

I think we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.

Unless Haaland scores or produces a big moment for someone else he is a liability in our team setup.

Also, this is the second game this season where our midfield has been completely obligated by the opposition (happened against Aston Villa as well). In recent I've seen us lose, play badly, have an off day, lose to a poorly defended counter attack but never get completely dominated in the middle of the park. This doesn't happen to Pep teams and it's happened twice so far this season. I believe it's connected to the above factor.

Anyway, thanks to a great piece of set piece work we came away with a point. That's a positive at Klanfield but it means the title is now out of our direct control.

 

[give it to gordon]

We let them back into the game with the penalty. We were always going to find it tough after that.

Everyone's passing looked off, not enough wait on the pass. I think the grass was to long ;)

 

[mancboy]

thing is though we won't keep getting away with being shocking (bit hard I would say average or mediocre.). One more loss this season and the PL is other for us I feel. I say that because both Liverpool and Arsenal seemed to of worked out how to win against the cannon fodder.

98th min goal for the dippers last week and late goal for the arse yest, theyve got lucky just like us, wouldnt say theyve workf it out per se

 

[Mancity1980]

It is out of our hands.

It’s not ideal but we have been here before, we are still bookie favourites and like I said there is a quarter of a season left.

Well the league table suggests we’re still in it. We clearly aren’t at last seasons levels and midfield is where we are struggling, but we still have a great chance to win it all.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

How is it out of our hands when if we beat them we go above them?

There’s so many points to play for and everyone is in control. No one is staying 100%. If we do well enough we’ll win it.

I’d worry about others when there’s 5 games left.

Because Liverpool are a point ahead of us…

And I can’t see them dropping points

 

[mancboy]

No you don’t
You’ve not understood what I was saying at all

Whatever you say

 

[Eoiyflem]

They had their full strength team.

Come on now mate...

Jota, TAA, Konate, Allison, Matip, Jones, Gravenberch, Thiago all missing. Robertson and Salah on the bench.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Start Kovacic over Alvarez and we win that

Not necessarily, we had several very good chances easy on

 

[jimharri]

We don't know what was said. Kev kept pointing to the pitch, he could have been trying to get something across to Pep that was happening in the game and Pep hadn't seen and that he was unhappy with or thought we should be doing better.

Possibly. Hopefully it will come out in the next day or so. It just didnt look all that clever. Like his famous "let me speak" moment! And I'm guessing the media will be all over it.

 

[Mancity1980]

We need the dippers to drop points. If we both win every game those cunts win the league

True, and they could well do that.

 

[Coatigan]

We didn't lose, that's all I've got!

A point was fair. Could have battered them, could have knicked it, could have got pumped (at times), could have seen it knicked. Take the point and the lesson.

Liverpool don't have much to take from today, they are not as good as they make out and they well know it.
