Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread.

Let's keep this in some kind of perspective. Liverpool were at their best. We were really poor by our standards. Thought we were poor across the park. Midfield was over run. Link up play was very poor at times and our defending left a lot to be desired at times. We will be so much better at home against Newcastle. Onwards and upwards. Maybe Stoke will help us out tomorrow but I doubt it. Still in our hands... come on City!!. I reckon 8 more wins needed. Let's get back on track boys. Today was a bad day at the office.

Surprised to look at the table and find Liverpool 15 points behind the leaders watching those celebrations! I thought we were absolutely woeful today at the back, multiple individual errors cost us dear and the game was long gone despite the 4-3 in the end.

A couple of things for me:

1. Stop playing Sterling against Liverpool, he’s been excellent this season but he doesn’t have the mentality to get over the crowd, and he’s shown it in multiples games now. He didn’t play his own game today at all and it essentially breaks down half of our attacking side.

2. Gundogan really needs to pull his weight in this system if he wants to play for the team long-term. I thought he was THE main reason we struggled to play out from the back all game. He was never available and it completely isolated the centre backs and Fernandinho, who not surprisingly all had their worst games in ages. A big part of that for me was Gundogans lack of movement to be available. Consider when Silva plays and how well De Bruyne drops deep; we completely lost that.

3. You will always get the odd mistake with a keeper that plays the way Ederson plays, but he can’t be faulted for his season so far so I don’t begrudge him a mistake today. It was just a shame it came on a day other players had also made big mistakes.

Spot on for points 1 and 3. Gunda just needs to put more effort in, he’s good enough and I believe it will come but the boo boys seem to be taking a shine to him!
 
If Fernandinho has a bad game were screwed as Gundogan isn't good enough.

Sterling was a shithouse today. Constantly allows their boos to get to him.
 
A yard too slow all over. Gundogan always going to be struggling against Liverpool’s midfield. Sterling not at the races today. Lots of unforced errors which is unusual from us. Our passing was not great at all. Liverpool will get lots of praise, but ffs all their goals were avoidable. However, 1 defeat in 23, we are still in great shape and credit to the players that they kept going and got it back to 4-3.

Big turning point, Otamendi header against bar.
 
Haven't flapped that hard in a LONG time on the match day thread... that was hard to watch and ever harder to swallow.

Thought Aguero was most offensive. Was hoping Pep would put on Bernardo instead of Aguero at the half but he persisted. Somehow he got even worse.

I love Fern, but that was a Pellegrini type performance from him, atrocious. Gonna go to the beach for awhile and cool off.
