Zinchenko amongst it as well

Yeah, he was there with Khabib Nurmagomedov

I don't know what to make of it tbh, the thought of spending any of my valuable time on earth getting pissed off or even giving him a second thought in a negative way just doesn't compute.
Sure, he left us in shitty terms as a fan perspective but as a professional footballer with no real affiliation with any club since he was 16 or whatever he's got to be the most beige player in existence!!
I quite admire him in a way. Wouldn't live my life his way but fair fucks to his career.

Milner is a 2hat pure and simple. Don't bother yourself with the cnut anymore

So funny how their fans boo and heckle at us liccle city. Why are they so afraid of us lol

 

[wilton st blue]

Ederson was poor today
Liverpool’s two goals was saveble

Absolutely

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.

Hé did clearly leave for money. Check the figures and not what was given to the guardian by LFC PR. Good luck to him, why shouldn’t he, it’s his job. And I think more players will now see out their contracts and get a fatter signing on fee.

Fine, but don’t hide behind the ‘I’m moving to become a midfield automatic starter and I’m not getting the same love at City’. That was utter shite. When he leaves LFC he’ll have been paid approx £54million by them over his 7 years there. He isn’t stupid and he’s been very well advised. There’s no way he would’ve matched that with us and knowing the calibre of player we look at, no chance we would’ve given him a £140k pw contract at the age of 33. He knew that. Money was the aim, not being a first choice midfielder. It’s the bullshit that grates.

That's the thing, I don't even think he's a a **** anymore. When he left I might have fallen into the fickle fans "you leave City you're dead to me etc etc" narrative but these days I really don't care enough. Enough to comment obviously but in my weird world this is putting it to bed for me. On the football cuntometer spectrum he'd be pretty low down on my list.

Still gutted we didn't win that, the ref wants to be sacked for that, not giving Milner a second yellow

Raheems best game in a long time.
Beautifully kept out of the way of play for Kevin's goal.

Feared the worst after liverpool took the lead but credit to the players for getting back into it. Some poor performances out there but also some incredible ones. Take a point!

Who were the poor performances

Who were the poor performances

I thought Ederson and KDB had sub par games to be honest (don’t shoot me!)

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Ederson was poor today
Liverpool’s two goals was saveble

Rodri's tackle baled him out as well

 

[mike1923]

The Anfield atmosphere is wank and so are their team. Should have had the game put away in the first half. We’ve played Leicester Spurs Chelsea and Liverpool away and are sitting pretty well in the league, the title is ours to lose. Ref was a disgrace. Bernardo was a man possessed and Jesus not far behind. Brilliant performance

 

[foggy1974]

I'd still have Mahrez over Jesus, still not convinced by Gabby on the right

There's no way Mahrez sets up Foden like Jesus did

 

[lasereyes]

There's no way Mahrez sets up Foden like Jesus did

That was a brilliant piece of play and a first class pass to Foden. Jesus is a very clever and passionate player.

What’s your reasoning on them being poor

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.

I agree it’s gone too far. His “team spirit” comments were a little out of line — he could have softened them politically but if he’s bitter at a manager or the front office about whatever on his exit it doesn’t mean he doesn’t/didn’t appreciate the fans. I am also fine with the celebrations — always. I almost look at this as a mirror. It’s a rare player who owes a club so much and to whom the fans owe so much that he doesn’t celebrate scoring with the new side that’s paying him and with his happy teammates. It’s almost a privilege and an hono(u)r to have to/want to/get to be so polite. Milner never meant enough to City nor the fans to warrant him not celebrating, nor did we mean enough to him.

I did however think it was funny that he wanted to play centrally when it was pretty clear (to me at least) that wasn’t primarily why Liverpool signed him.

This obesession with the idea that we need a number 9 is starting to grate on my nerves. We have enough key players all over the pitch who can score. We create more than enough chances and as the season goes on and the players gain more rhythm and confidence they will convert at a higher rate. Liverpool played most of the game without a number 9, and I do not consider Firmino to be a clinical number 9 type striker.

Its almost like pundits and rival fans can't find anything else to drag us down about so they say, "well they dont have a number 9". Literally looking for anything. All the while we scored 6 against Leipzig, and lead the league in scoring once again.

They were poor, mate. Watch the game over.
Overall the team were great.
