Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

[BringBackSwales]

You know how we always say/sing ‘Once a Blue always a Blue’? Well NEVER, EVER again for that Milner so and so! Never, never, never!! The man is a piece of manure on my shoe!
Thank you and sorry for the rant. :-( :-)

Eccles for you that was positively aggressive lol. Well said

I'm surprised Tierney didn't award a pen to the Dippers there. He can't have seen the tackle - his view is blocked by four or five players, the goal is a miss, so let's cheer up a few red faces. Surprised the VAR wallah didn't find summat in the block!

Mane impeded Eddie in the build up to that shot.

Tierney is a wanker he wears a wankers hat.

I don’t get this. Milner just played a game of football out of position against the best young player in the country and got torn a new arsehole. He wasn’t dirty, or out of order with anything, it’s not his fault he didn’t get called for a foul in the first half or a second yellow in the second half.

I’ve never got the Milner hate from our fans at all. And the “one greedy bastard” chant is about the most inaccurate call we make as a set of fans. It’s almost laughable.

He was a great servant for City who got sick of being on the bench in big games so he left us. Okay, he let his contract to go to the end, but in other sports that happens all the time and is seen as honouring the contract.

Okay, he mentioned that Liverpool had the best team spirit he’s ever been involved in, but he might genuinely have felt that and was just telling the truth. No dramas from me whatsoever.

Okay, he celebrated against us when he didn’t celebrate for us against Villa. Again no dramas for me at all, always want players to celebrate their goals (same shit we gave Dickov when he slid on his knees in joyous celebration when he scored for Leicester against us, it’s mard arse shit from our fans, not shit from Dickov and Milner).

We solely have an issue with him because of the shit Liverpool fans give Sterling. We moan that Liverpool fans give Sterling grief and call them small time and that they’re out of order for their comments, then stoop to their level with Milner.

Really bizarre from our fans this and I’ll never get it. Proper Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa level stuff from us. Shows that we’re just the same as all other sets of fans.

He strung the club along for a year ‘negotiating’ and thus denying us a transfer fee when he had already agreed a deal with Liverpool including a £6m signing on fee

We've had the week-from-hell fixture-wise, and yet the shots counts have been:

Chelsea 5 - 15 City
PSG 6 - 18 City
Liverpool 6 - 12 City

... with average finishing we'd have won all three comfortably. A very satisfying week, with the only worry being (as ever) how many chances we need in order to score a goal.

We only create those chances playing a false 9.

Exactly.

More of a mercenary than the Piano Man.

Which Txiki may have fully known, and was fully supportive with Milner and was perfectly okay with. There’s never been any reports from anyone that City weren’t happy with Milner.

A few years before, we sold de Jong for £4m to Milan after he was Holland’s best player in the Euros. I don’t think we’re as arsed about transfer fees as fans might think.

And we as fans applauded him in the first few years after he left us, so we weren’t that arsed about it at first neither.

Haha, I forgot about this. I was very confused. Though I googled whether he'd ever scored a free kick before and did this for Spurs from a similar position so maybe he has dibs on them from that area.

Maybe :-) a crazy moment.

Milner claimed to have left City because his games were mostly at full-back rather than in central/wide midfield. I am not sure who he would have replaced in midfield.

Was he better than Ya Ya Toure, Samir Nasri, David Silva, Fernandinho, etc.? I don’t think so.

The supreme irony was that that every time I have seen Milner play for Liverpool he seems to have played at full back!

He was a good player but not quite good enough for City.

 

[City & Blue Brazil]

Great post and fair play for going against Blue Moon orthodoxy on this subject.

Was a real pro for us, never complained or let us down but understandably, after 4 years of being 2nd choice he chose to move on.
Additionally its admirable how he got the absolute maximum of his ability to forge such a successful career. He clearly never left for money and slagging an ex-player is something City fans rightly criticise other clubs for. Better than that blues, particularly against a player and pro like Milner.

Also remember he did a great speech praising the club and support at Manchester Town Hall at one of the parades.
