Seems Bernardo would be a good choice.Torn on how to feel, I expected a loss so a draw is a result but to have that chance to win it. I don't feel confident in Jesus scoring either, especially against Alisson so perhaps Mahrez was best.
More so the Anfield winless run. I think they thought Liverpool are better than what they are
It's obvious given what happened last season and our general record in general. But, we really matched them in intensity and nullified their front 3. It's okay to start slow against Liverpool and gain control later on. We will take them on at the Etihad with full confidence.
Well Pep lied. He interferedPretty sure Pep has said before that the players on the pitch decide who takes penalties, he doesn't interfere.
Can imagine Mahrez will be told to fuck off if he tries to grab the ball again.
Good point all the same.

A surprisingly boring game of football.
Mahrez’s selfishness aside, I believe we paid Liverpool too much respect.
It was a fantastic opportunity to finally win at Anfield and we blew it.
On a brighter note, I thought Stones, Laporte and Bernardo all had good games.
Peps decision. The draw is on him not that it effects anything though

We're missing arguably our best player. That's a good point. I don't get Sterling on the left to accomodate Mahrez though - Leroy should be starting that game all day long for me.
It’s his quest to accommodate Mendy and provide cover.

My heart sank the moment I realized Mahrez was going to take that penalty, it should have been Jesus, if I was Jesus, I would be well pissed off.
Mahrez also hangs onto the ball for far too long, there were at least two chances he had in the second half to slip a ball across the penalty area, but both times he held on and tried to over complicate things, he's too much of a fancy dan, "look at me" type of player, he needs to think of the team around him and not just himself all the time.

Can’t bring myself to be too critical of Mahrez for taking the pen. Shit execution, but not like we had many other great options - Jesus is hardly Balotelli.
Disappointing, I suppose, given the way the game played out. But fuck me, I’d have taken a point at kick-off

Mahrez's penalty just went past my window
I believe it's due to fly past the ISS about 9 minutes from now.
Chris Waddle eat your heart out.
We needed a big thumper to hit that and for it to stay hit... Walker, LaPorte, Mendy, I'd have backed them.
