Not really that difficult, the Liverpool team has a full weeks rest and is very fit, they were all having glucose drinks in the 2nd half and the adrenalin of getting a few goals around the 60th minute kept them going. They were still pretty much dead on their feet on 80 mins mind. If Bernardo had come on a bit earlier I reckon we'd have got somthing out of that game.8 hours work in Liverpool? You get a gold watch & a party for doing that long there.
Something else I forgot to mention. Did anyone else pick up on Shearer's remark on MOTD2? He said something like "Liverpool played with pace and energy and they kept that up for 90 minutes, which most sides can't do". Interesting that they seem to be able to chase around for 90 minutes with those energy levels when we looked tired. Bit like Leicester a couple of seasons ago.
Are you drunk or on drugs?
You said we only had 4 days rest whilst they had 8 and that was the reason we lost, i pointed out that apart from 4 players all ours had roughly 8 days rest, you said we can't criticise them because they were suffering from fatigue, i said that's bollocks which it patently is.
Worse player on the pitch was Fernandinho, he had a good break, Gundogan was also as bad and i'd say he may have been tired but that's it.
If we want to win things we'll have to get used to playing every 4 days or so, it does show the squad needs additions though, need Sanchez asap.
Only thing fucking embarrassing is having you ‘supporting’ my club!absolute trash game, we played total shit. embarrassing
The story is that Sergio is carrying an injury which is why he hasn't been so sharp in recent weeks.Hard to pick out a good performance from the group.
Ederson finally having some costly mistakes that have been coming.
Gundagon and Ferna both having their worst performances of the year. Never want that to happen with 2 cms that are only cover to defense at the same time. Shows Ferna needs cover now. Cant play every PL and Champions League gave the rest of the year.
Thought Kev and Sane were only ones that were giving them a scare.
Sterling should never play vs Liverpool. Simple as that.
Most worrisome performance has to be from the 2 center backs. Flashbacks to last year. They weren't up for the pace of the game. Credit to Liverpool for that, but they didn't seem capable of making their decisions faster which got them into trouble way too often.
Aguero played like he didn't want to be out there. Never seen someone in a big game like that not seem to care. Didn't work for the ball, link up was poor with others, and when he had space he couldn't dribble by some mediocre defenders. He's a striker who seemed to want to drift out wide instead of being in the action
Don't forget we played Tuesday makes a difference with a high energy game like that.8 hours work in Liverpool? You get a gold watch & a party for doing that long there.
