Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread.

Sick of playing them at Anfield.

Every year the same things happen

 

[hampshireblue]

15 games to go and at least 12 points ahead. I think we'd have all settled for that back in August.

 

[willipp]

Feel like we got what we deserved today. Some very poor choices/moments at key moments. Stones, ederson etc cost us. Sterling had a shocker as usual at anfield and we just didn’t deserve it today. Reaction now is crucial.

 

[Rammy Blue]

He was awfull

I was joking mate, he was fucking abysmal.

Seriously, can’t have our front 3 play so badly and get anything from a game like that.

Shit happens, we move on.

 

[Take im on Leroy]

Kyle Walker and Kev the only two who played anywhere near,but there's 19 teams in the league who would swap places with us,so let's lick our wounds and go again.

 

[Mancity1980]

Sloppy passing. But the fight back showed how good we are. Got to credit Liverpool, they were excellent and didn’t let us play. Pity Aguero didn’t stay onside at the end becaus think he may still have to the header in. On mistake for me is playing Sterling at Anfield, he’s proven he doesn’t play well with all the boo boys alhough he did better this time.

Best way to deal with the boo boys is to man up and get on with your game. He will be a better player for the experience. I seem to remember Gareth Barry having a similar issue dealing with such negativity.

Never a foul. Stones must do better there.

1 right 1 wrong. It was a foul but Stones should have done better

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

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

The trouble is that we don't go down. And when we get flattened how many times has the whistling wanker played on?

 

[ChicagoBlue]

FIFTEEN POINTS AHEAD, FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON TO A TOP 4 TEAM IN ROUND 16 OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, ON A DAY WHEN WE WERE SECOND BEST AND THEY PLAYED THEIR BEST GAME OF THE SEASON...AND IT WAS 4-3 DUE TO DEFENSIVE ERRORS.

Lord help us if that requires handwringing and consternation. 20-2-1, 15 games to go, 15 pts ahead.

Keep on keeping on. The long stretch of killer games and we’ve lost ONE, are in the EFL SF leading after First Leg, in 4th round of the FA Cup with a lower division opponent, in CL Round of 16 against one of the “preferred” teams. The way we play is a winning formula, and we stumbled for about 10 minutes at Anfield.

I will survive. I hope some of you will...but I’m worried about some of you!​

 

[Neville Kneville]

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!

Three, he could have intercepted the ball before it reached that position.

 

[simon23]

Pep maybe actually happy we have the unbeaten tag of our back......he always says he learns more when looking for the reactions of players to difficult moments......He uses phrases like this regularly so I don't think he will be to concerned by the loss.....its the reaction that will either please him or concern him.....even lee dixon mentioned it in commentary at the point we were 4-1 down...he said something about Pep not changing his approach (and we know he wont) and that he would use the rest of the game as a training exercise to see how he can respond......

 

[jimharri]

No surprise it wasn't given, anyone remember the penalty for the dippers a few years back when it was blasted at Dunne from a couple of yards even then it hit his knee before his arm

Micah, not Dunne

 

[Rammy Blue]

Love the guy but he really didn't

;-)

 

[hjm1962]

Fair result today, Aguero & Stones poor, Danilo offers little

 

[PW]

we had to have at least 7 players have stinkers for a team to beat us 4-3, in their cup final.

I think we'll be just fine.

Pretty accurate summary.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Never a foul. Stones must do better there.

how can you do better when a player runs full pelt into your back?

 

[PragueBlue]

Too many mistakes at the back, too much dawdling on the ball and too many sloppy passes even from usually reliable passers like Fernandinho and Gundogan. It really feels like we gifted them a game that we could have won.

At least it's out of our system now and we can hopefully regroup ready for the next game.

 

[OB1]

Liverpool are a cup team.

Great in one off games against good sides.

Incredibly inconsistent over a season when they have to play the run of the mill games.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they make the semi’s of the CL this season.

They are 18 games unbeaten in all competitions.

 

[mancityscot]

You try blocking out 40000 c**t's booing you as you are trying to do your job. I would be off my game for sure.

Agree to some extent, but some players relish shoving it right down their throats, others (sterling) wilt at the first sign of it.

 

[Armaan]

Spot on about Sterling. Think Sane did show he could take the game to them though. Scored out of nowhere and created another.

Should’ve played same as the striker and took of Kun. When Sane went central he looked more dangerous than Kun had the whole game.
