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

[vmsuhail]

But true..you seem to big up the dippers

I give credit when the opposition wins fair and square.

 

[M12Blue]

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.

 

[lazerblue]

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!!!

 

[blue by birth]

I give credit when the opposition wins fair and square.

Maybe give City some credit occasionally then..

 

[nellyonthewing]

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

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

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

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

 

[Blue tiger]

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

 

[Deleted member 87819]

What was worse, first half today or second half in Madrid? Lol

 

[BigJoe#1]

Why pick Sterling… he never plays well .

Edited for accuracy.

i agree, why wasn't this game played on sunday, it doesn't make sense, the odds were totally stacked against us

 

[Damanino]

lets hope Tuchel or Vieira kills these fuckers in the FA final or at least they it to extra time with a few red cards lol.

good thing is now FA final is scheduled before end of the PL on 14th of May.
where they were scheduled to play Soton away 37th round. I assume that will a mid week game now on the following Tuesday or Wed unless they bring it earlier, hope not.

Would mean Soton will have a nice almost 10 day break between their 36th and 37th round game.

but its up to us to keep them behind us in the league till then.

 

[discopop]

Bet the scouse cünts couldn’t believe their luck, that was a hapless performance in the first half.

 

[Big Dave Watson]

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

Maybe, buts its the games where we desperately neef a goal that cost us e.g. Southampton, Palace etc. The scousers are more clinical.

 

[Dave El Magico]

They were in control for 90 minutes, and could score anytime.

Are you seriously having a laugh. ”In control for 90 minutes”. Were you watching city v Liverpool?

 

[BolinCell]

This is spot on.
We have to win one of the remaining two we are in. If Liverpool do the quad then Pep will be slammed for today. Our best 11 would have won today as I don't think we would have conceded. Ederson would have saved two goals and Laporte would have taken care of Konate at corners.

Its a massive gamble from Pep.

Next year play the kids from the start and let them go all the way in the domestic cups

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Steffan reminded me of a certain Martyn Margretson from all those years ago.

 

[Damien10]

For the fans slating Jesus for the finish. Yeah he should score but this happens. Haaland missed one similar against us did he not?

These things happen, especially to a player who’s constantly in and out of a team. People expect way to much of Jesus at times. The main thing for me is he gets himself in some fantastic positions and never stops making runs.
