Liverpool FA Cup s/f (N) | Post Match Thread

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

By the way, Pep’s put so much pressure on himself to win one of the PL or CL after tossing that off today.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Disappointed by the lack of intensity in the first half. If you're playing a weakened team because the strongest 11 is knackered, then the one thing you should expect is for them to put a shift in. It very much seemed like a conserving energy performance, but in that case, it seems strange to play our usual game, because it's never going to work if you're not playing with intensity.

All sports media turned off for the rest of the weekend.

Stay safe blues leaving wemberlee having to face those graceless cult fans.

I don't think we played anywhere as bad as the match day thread described it. I had accepted 1-3 then Bernie the bastard scored to make me think we're gonna do a Spurs.

It's gone.

Still 2 more trophies to play for and win.

Don’t worry mate, our supporters will be fine - all their fans will be delayed coming out as they’re staying behind for the trophy presentation.

Full strength for a potent CL final and we’ll turn them over… small mercies but psychologically that is a big second half for us

What's more likely is Pep will do something out there tactically and fuck us in the final.

As per Chelsea last season we haven't beaten Liverpool this season so he's bound to think outside the box.

Honestly, I’m not one to criticise but that was horrendous. You just don’t start with this XI against Liverpool. What’s the point progressing into the final stages of cups if we keep throwing them away like this? Why wait until after the 80th minute to throw in players who can influence the game. Besides Foden’s instant impact after coming on in the first leg against AM, what’s going on with his dip in form. Grealish not doing enough to start in a game like this. Zinchenko not getting much game time lately really showed today. Anyone else bothered to run as hard as Bernado was?

Every City fan at the stadium today deserves a refund. Liverpool weren’t even anywhere near their best. Yet we have to rotate keepers because it’s a “cup tie”. As far as I’m concerned, we’ve probably got Liverpool thinking they can seriously go and get the quadruple from here.

I hope this doesn’t shatter our confidence and affect us keeping our heads in the league and CL. I’ll love them again tomorrow morning but that was seriously infuriating and we’ve only got ourselves and poor game management to blame for it.

Why pick Sterling… he never plays well against Liverpool.

He very rarely turns up anymore. Fantastic player for us tho and deserves to leave with his head held high. Same goes for the rest.

 

[BlueCityfan]

Some self inflicted wounds like not starting Ederson from Pep. Thing is, Liverpool won't just hand us the league just because we threw away the FA cup. Even if some people seem to think that. That was a winnable game.

 

[super_city_si]

They've now beaten us in 90 mins over three games.

If we both get to the CL final that's an undeniable psychological edge.

Win the league and pray Chelsea or Palace do them in the final and shut the cunts up.

How? We battered them the two league games with them getting favourable ref decisions. Today we had half a team and a goalie who was shit scared.

id fancy us full strength in a final.

 

[City Hobgoblin]

I’d there a bigger one-trick pony than Salah?

 

[give it to gordon]

Wasnt confident before ko. Liverpool full strength mostly rested mid week. City 5 or so not our first team
