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

But true..you seem to big up the dippers

I give credit when the opposition wins fair and square.

i though the back 4 were fine, they only got stretched at the end with the midfield going for broke

I think they lacked a trust in Steffens and Fern, never seen so many aimless kicks up field. Had same issue with bravo in the past.

Bigger game on Wednesday.

every game we have left now is like a knockout cup game cos i don't expect the dippers to drop any points, so it's all hands to the pumps from now on, lets not chuck the tiltle away

Everything about that match; selection, energy levels, commitment, has to be seen in the context of Wednesday night. It was a bruising exhausting battle and evey player will have been suffering the after effects.The very last thing they would want a few days later is a semi final against Liverpool.

By way of contrast, Liverpool players had a rest and a stroll in the park.

The other thing weighing on the team is priorities. At this stage in the season, pragmatism is required. The FA cup is NOT top priority.

IF City go on to win the league and maybe the champs league it was absolutely the correct approach to this game

Looking forward to Brighton and Real Madrid with a fit, refreshed squad already. And one less distraction

I don't think people realize the level of disadvantage we came to this game with today. I genuinely think this game was already dead lost on wednesday night, as defeatist as it seems.

Whys that, Dave?

Poor chance conversion rate. I said that it would cost us after the Kane fiasco.

I agree, our midfield were woeful especially in the first half. Couldn't believe Pep only made one sub and left it so late!!!

I give credit when the opposition wins fair and square.

Maybe give City some credit occasionally then..

The blues who went all that way when it was clear what Peps agenda was should be re-imbursed travel and tickets.

But we’re on no different trajectory if we had Aguero, for example

Ake was our best player, I thought Zinchenko was poor, stones defended OK, but his passing was poor. And Cancelo was just Meh!
