Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread.

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Cant win them all...Liverpool were the better team today! We had a few below their normal standard today...hopefully this is the kick they needed!

Another loss against Liverpool at Anfield shocker. Looked miles better when Sterling left the pitch.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Pretty much this.

He's coming back from injury though so I don't blame Stones either.

I posted elsewhere, he looked like he was ill.

Now I've seen it posted that Silva is ill.

That's the worst I've seen Stones play for years & he's had some stinkers.

I wonder if several of them were suffering from something.

 

[Rammy Blue]

A stronger ref and that would have been a draw...

Pushed in the back by the dirty ****...
The amount of rags supporting Liverpool today was unbelievable...
Still top..

If Stones wanted a free kick he needed to go down. It was never getting given otherwise.

 

[blueinsa]

A push was the only way Firminho could of won that ball.

Stones has 2 choices there.

Either be strong and dont get pushed off the ball so easily or go fucking down and hope he wins the free kick.

He does neither and its not good enough at this level.

Danilo doesn't cover himself in glory either as he watches the ball go in the net!

 

[talkativesprout]

They were better than us today. No excuses. Sergio had the worst day i have ever seen in a blue shirt, If there is a reason for that or just a bad day at the office, I think I can forgive.

Ferna had a fuckin mare

Onwards and upwards less pressure now we have been beaten.

CTID

 

[bellsouth]

None of the teams who played in the semi's in mid week won.

Tells you something.

Not being talked about much but definitely it has contributed. They had so much energy which allowed them to pressure us for much longer.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Shit day at the office , a full week to rest and regroup. Calm heads required both on the pitch and off it .

 

[M12Blue]

The biggest sign of character was shown in the first half hour of that second half. We absolutely shit ourselves and let the game get away from us.

Yeah it’s alright when they’ve taken their best players off and dropped intensity to keep going, very nice. But where was the fight when it actually mattered?

Anyway, it’s only one game.

How can you or anybody criticise the mentality of a team that prior to today had won every league game bar 1, a draw, and holds a 15 point lead on its nearest rivals.

 

[Blue Llama]

It was a definite push mate...if it was the other way he would have given it.

He did every time a City player went near a pool one.

 

[bluemoonmatt]

Anyone mention the fact stones was barged in the back for the second goal? I thought it was blatant

It’s a bit clutching at straws that one, we’d be well pissed off if we scored it n it got ruled out for that.

 

[mancityscot]

Sorry but anyone who thinks Raheem Sterling is mentally weak is a fucking clown.

i think what i said is fair. he's done extremely well since his first season with us but he has a mental block when playing liverpool. Clearly lets the crowd get to him, gets bullied off the ball and quite frankly fails to do the basics.

 

[Bluemoon115]

"Revenge for the red card" might be the most ludicrous statement I've heard a commentator say. I hope someone kicks that fucker in the face.

 

[argyle]

Danilo was a bad buy.

 

[Abattoir Blue]

By gave a shit I don't mean they didn't give 100%, I mean they didn't look like bottlers. The 2 mentioned actually took a couple of players on rather than look for an easy option.

I just don't buy that. Things didn' come off for Aguero, Gunda and Ferna today for large periods, buy it wasn' because they weren't trying. Players have off days. Ours have had very few this season.

 

[razman]

regarding stones....if he felt it , he should have gone down

 

[Rammy Blue]

Thought Sergio had a good game.

 

[madden150]

Well done Liverpool. The better team won on the day. They were at their best and we were far from ours.

We have, can and will play much, much better. They haven't, can't and wont.



Now back to work. Bring on the toon.

That's the biggest annoyance on the day, Gods own Liverpool only turn up against us, "our year laaa". They're generally garbage against the rags. Hope they win f all for a century

 

[BooksReject]

What was he doing on the bench if he was ill?

My thoughts too. If he was ill he should have been nowhere near the bench

 

[Marvin]

A push was the only way Firminho could of won that ball. Saying that there is no point in me whinging about the ref it was the two goals after that that killed us. Credit to us in giving Liverpool a fright near the end.

Clear push whatever the commentator reckons
