Liverpool (a) post-match thread

[hgblue]

Thought Sterling was very good today and would have been the difference, unfortunately for him no one else played to his level. In the end we lost to a very good team and their favorite ref without half our starters and a ridiculous VAR decision. Wasn’t happy with overall performance but also thought a lot of our play was very good, especially early on. We’ve now got to go on a massive run of wins and got a very difficult 2 months coming up. If we drop another point before we play Liverpool again might as well focus on Champions league and hope Chelsea or Leicester can catch them.

I agree, Sterling was well up for it today and has a really good game. I thought Foden should have been given a run out today though.

Still think we’ll do it. 26 games to go!!!

You cant beat what is essentially 16 men when you factor in all the officials.

We dont have much luck at all with VAR do we?

I can't recall one instance where VAR has done us any favours.

Anyone there, as I was, could testify the away end once again was infiltrated by what I will call tourists.

Actual dipper fans in our end, one walked in with his dipper hat on.

It's a disgrace

City should hang their fucking heads in shame but they don’t care.

Did he get a crack?

Honestly not sure, they had no hunger against their title rivals. Not the best sign.

Are you blind?!

Define anonymous and put it into the context of his role and his team mates performances.

Rarely affecting play in a positive way.....He didnt create, he was poor and absent defensively.

I suppose he wasnt anonymous when you consider he was partly responsible for their third goal and directly responsible for the first.

Others were poor but he is regularly poor against the better/stronger teams.

For context see my ther posts about KDB and Bernardo also not hitting the heights this season

Liverpool away, champs league semi final,

spurs away champs league last year

Norwich away this year

wolves at home

and Liverpool away today.

Gundogan started all of those games in an attacking role and we lost all of them.

love the guy, as a DM he’s fantastic, but he just will never work as an attacking midfielder.

 

[Briggs1969]

We should have been more clinical though we played well in parts. The defence let us down yes but the officiating is somewhat questionable, in other words bent.

 

[Wizpopblue]

Stirling didn't turn up again KDB poor

Really? At least Sterling tried to make something happen, especially in the last 20 mins.

I’d have sold my 18 month old for last season’s title so I can’t complain about this team. We’re a flawed team that’s maybe run it’s course, but they always keep going and they’ve been a joy.
Btw, I f***ing loathe that smug c**t Robertson. I’d love somebody to fiddle with his brakes.

Sorry but did we not play the better football today? Not denying we have issues at the back and Liverpool made the most of tbeir chances but this City side is anything but done. We are going nowhere, not this year or next.
