Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread.

[come-on-barney]

We have to be mentally stronger at Anfield.

To be fair that also comes from the manager as well as the players.

 

[Aguero_Element]

I just thought we would show up..... im gonna stop thinking about lpool matches i think the players are just too sentimental to try for a win there

 

[BlueAnorak]

Next person who tells me I'm talking out of my backside about how we're psychologically fucked at Anfield, can I refer you back to this game? We were piss poor on the ball today and got what we deserved.

 

[Marvin]

Completely fell apart for a 10 minute period. At the point we conceded our second I felt like we were pushing for a win. Really disappointing result at anfield again.

Experiences like this can make us better or worse. Not sure which it will be yet. Probably better given the nature of people at City.

 

[Neville Kneville]

There were 4 players culpable for that goal. Terrible defending

There were a couple of incidents prior to that, where a Liverpool player was able to receive a hopeful pass, & had time to flick it over our cbs, & we just cleared it at full stretch.

They just weren't awake for some reason.

 

[IWasHere]

You are kidding yourself if you think it is a foul. Physical contact happens all over the pitch continuously. Our centre half was weak and misjudged the pass.

Agree. He should've cleared it even before firminho made contact with him. He needs to wake up. He's been our worst player since he came back from injury!

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

I have never been embarrassed by a Manchester City team , but i have certainly been disappointed in the past , i am going out in my shirt tonight and wearing it with pride , f*ck embarrassment

This.......Bad days happen. If it's one in a championship season with possible cups and records broken I'll take that happily

 

[kippaxchris]

No. But I didn’t round on him like a shithouse, nor single him out from the others who had equally shite games.

Bad day, great season. We’re top of the league. Get it in perspective.

Round on him like a shithouse? Haha wow

 

[radcliffe1309]

So not even 1 point for his assist

You're a fucking idiot.

Well said !

 

[Packrat]

OK, so he was just weak.

I know he didn't go all the way to the floor, but as you say, h he was very weak.

 

[bluemc1]

Annoying but was expecting it, win out next 2 and it’s all forgotten

Anyone know why Silva ok for the bench but didn’t start ?

 

[blue by birth]

OK, so he was just weak.

It was a fucking foul...watch it again...plus keV was fouled in their half before they started the attack.
A nudge in the back is enough to unbalance a player. Hence it's a foul

 

[simon23]

Yes we should but everyone wanks over the league cup like it's some holy grail on here. You could tell that one team had a rest in the week today. We were very lacklustre at times today.

Wenger has done it for years....played the kinds in the league cup...

its definitely something we should be doing if we are serious about dominating the prem league and at the same time going to CL.....

 

[Tom_mcfc]

What was the point in having Silva on the bench if he wasn't well enough to play at all?

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Off to put a bit of positivity into the 100/104 goal thread ;-)

 

[sir baconface]

Round on him like a shithouse? Haha wow

Yes.

 

[Packrat]

Was replying to the guy you replied to Chippy.

 

[Mike N]

I havent seen the replay but I was sure he barged Stones in the back, whilst raising his arm. Not shoulder to shoulder though deffo

If it had been one of our players I would have wanted a goal.

 

[QuickSilva]

sane was outstanding, the rest had an off day but even on an off day pushed liverpool all the way.

take a look at the table and you will feel better :)

 

[Metalartin]

Let's not be churlish, they played football and are just as capable as we are at stringing together some high precision passes for a swift counter.
I don't think we had a particularly 'bad' game - they simply put in an incredible effort and pressed up for the full 90 minutes - we simply didn't have the time on the ball that we're used to.
The reason they aren't going to win the league is that they are too inconsistent, and just as likely to put in a lousy performance against a bottom of the table team and drop 3 points. We're much more consistent.

They played us at our own game and it paid off for them.

They played well, pressed well but goals 3-4 were completely avoidable(poor choices to lead up to mistake and poor execution as they happened... in other words we've played out of much better presses than that we created those situations ourselves in my view) this was levels below the performance over in Napoli for instance if you can't see that I don't know what to tell you. That's not Liverpool's problem nor is the mistake from the ref to allow the foul by Firmino, they took their chances readily I will give them that but they did not beat a full strength in form City today.
