Liverpool (h) - CL QF post match thread

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

that's the problem we are playing well and scoring goals that get wiped out ,or goals given for offside ,or defo pens not given,we were again brilliant a little open but we had to be ,that 2nd goal stands we can be a little more patient, liverpool would of shit it.

we do need to score more of our chances and stop fucking up at the back.

The understatement of the thread :))

Can’t fault our work rate tonight.
Basic defending is comical at times. They scored with a 2 on 4!!! Not acceptable. Get it sorted or Spurs will embarrass us worse than the derby.
Sane disappeared, constantly offside, and was owned again tonight. He will hopefully come good next season.
We still don’t have that directness and directness when attacking. Watch our plays, if we cut through them, we come back out and allow them to reset. Teams against us go direct into the box and attack the defender.

Not suprised David Silva was taken off. He hasnt looked himself these last few games. Not many options to rest him with Fern suspended for Spurs. Would like to see maybe Delph in the midfield with KDB dropping a little deeper.

We need to keep a clean sheet soon, and rediscover a bit of swagger.

First half was amazing but 2nd half was so easy for Liverpool. We were spent. Otamendi needs dropping, Bernardo deserves more minutes than he gets. Laporte looks like a downgrade. Fernandinho was immense. Sané is offside. That’s about it in a nutshell really.

I don't agree with that being the only stat that matters though... their first two goals at anfield were against the run of play... we were dictating play if anything they hadn't created anything and score on the counter with an offside goal which changed everything. It was also the fact that they made out Liverpool created loads, 2nd half at Anfield Ederson barely had anything to do... similar story tonight yet he had to pick the ball out of the net from 2 attacks.

So what does that tell you? We are frail at the back, scum did the same Saturday, everyone blowing smoke up peps arse, yet that is pretty much his defence, we played with his tactics, yet it's always the ref to blame, the fans to blame, the pies being cold to blame, every excuse but pep

This will piss a lot of people off in here but here’s my view
1 . Sterling is vastly overrated. When you look at most if his goals they were tap ins. Think he has had the season if his life and will not repeat it. should have buried Utd on Saturday.
2.jesus is no aguero either . Same again misses way to many for my liking. Not good enough to lead the line on his own.3 Otamendi has had a good season but this last week he has totally gone to shit and I doubt whether he will be able to pull it back again. 4 kompany is in my eyes now a fourth choice defender for us . We need to really strengthen in the summer because I can’t see this team defending the title next season

I dont think we can spend on the defence again
We already have the most expensive defence in the world

 

[blueinsa]

How three fucking officials can’t see the ball cans of Milner I’ll never know , all had a different angle and all got it fucking wrong. Useless wankers

Not when they are all singing from the same hymn sheet.

Cheating ****s, not useless.

Everyone we play seems to become incredibly clinical recently. Can't be far off 8 shots 8 goals?

It’s because we don’t really have a solid defensive shape, it’s just players randomly running around trying to win the ball back. We give the opposition clear cut chances whilst ourselves most of ours are half chances.

 

[pbueno16]

Yep, sorry. I forgot that we're the only team that has to play at 100% all the fucking time. We're the only team that has to anticipate the bad refereeing.

Definitely and it's incredibly frustrating that refs let the power get to their heads and start making it about them. Don't think it's going to happen, but these regulatory bodies need some sort of overhaul. However, we know what's going to happen anyway.

 

[Healdplace]

Pep is a great manager but he has had a bad week like City's defence. You can't argue with that.

We have a very tough game Saturday and a real risk of him losing 4 games back to back for the first time.

That will be a real concern especially as we should have won two of the three we lost.

It probably is just a blip. But he has to turn this run round Saturday. That is his job. Will be tough without Fernandinho who is so important to how we play.

But Bernardo has come of age and shone tonight. So hopefully he can take control.

We could still be champions in 8 days as nobody would be shocked to see United mess up either in one of the next two games.

We just have to give them not a sniff which us losing and them winning both would do as the gap would be just 7 points.

Obviously we are still going to win the league but we need to do it in style now not a whimper.

Our luck just has to change soon as right now we are having none.

Three games on the trot it has all run against us.
