Liverpool (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Not taking anything away from a fantastic performance but never seen the scousers so passive, great to see young Nico have salah in his pocket all game and Doku fuck me what a game he’s had here basically tore the whole scouse squad a new one, so pleased for him.
They were passive because of City.
 
True! But assembling one good side is something a few managers have accomplished. Being able to rebuild and repeat those feats is something only Fergie has achieved
You don't think Pep has rebuilt?

Piscan did it with referees in his pocket, the PL helping him out at every opportunity and lesser teams rolling over for him.

Quite the opposite with Pep, which makes it all the more satisfying.
 
Plus the GPC broke the British transfer record more times than any other manager at the time
One horrible individual, never forget he sanctioned “that banner” at OT then got all uppity when we came up with the Tevez one in the centre of the city.
 
This part of it is commendable as regards our first goal:-

"City weaved their way out from facing Liverpool pressure near their own corner flag with a glorious sequence of passes from back to front.

This symphony of Guardiola's style ended in a familiar crescendo as Haaland soared above Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate to meet Matheus Nunes' cross and send a header past keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili." That's great - and true.

What I find unimpressive - and this goes for every other media article and piece of commentary I've seen - having watched the BBC, ESPN, and various Youtube analysis channels - is that nobody is analysing the offside decision on Liverpool's disallowed goal properly from the goalkeeper's angle.
( I know it doesn't really matter coz we fuckin' hammered them 3-0, but hear me out.)

It was very poor defending from City because we gave VVD a free header, and he's proved over the years to be a lethal weapon on corners for Liverpool. But, when he heads it, Robertson is offside. It looks unlikely that The Don would save it, but, he's got Robertson very close to him, and who is offside. If Robertson stands still, the balls hit's him. If the balls hits him, or he heads it in, he's offside.

Instead, he ducks out of the way. That interferes with play. IMHO, that's the same as playing the ball. If he doesn't duck out of the way, he's in the way, and the ball doesn't go in without it hitting him. Then, it would have been disallowed for offside. Therefore, he is offside and he interfered with play and the goal was correctly disallowed.

But, but but - Liverpool's goalie moved too early, and the penalty should have been retaken.

But, but, but, but, but - every player in the City team touched the ball on City's 1st goal: this wasn't shown and wasn't even mentioned on MOTD, where they had MUFC supporting Chappers presenting and the 2 routine scousers as pundits - Rooney and the forgettable anonymous moron who frequently drones on, but whose name escapes me.... got it: the journeyman scouser, Danny "Gizza job" Murphy.

But, hey ho! SFW. Altogether now, "We are not, we're not really here!...."

Cunts.
I'd have got Earling to go man to man with van hype, as he's our best defender of corners, but then again what the fuck do I know.
 
Funny that VVD disallowed goal! Go back to the goal they allowed for us against wolves the media was arguing saying it should have been disallowed now they all suggesting that VVD goal should be allowed! Now this is what pisses me of with the media oh the radio media are just as bad they are hypocritical cretins! You either argue that both goals should been allowed or both though be disallowed, you can’t flip flop depending on who benefits

Baconcunt was a bully bullied referees bullied players bullied the media! That’s how he went about being successful! He rang referees he abused referees after games when he didn’t get his way in a match then!
 
Did I say it is the law?

The vast majority of people do wear it to show appreciation to those who sacrificed their lives …imho.
Yes a lot of people do. It's also mainly a British thing. Felt it was an odd thing to point out on the post match thread
 
I’m in Tenerife and gutted to have missed it. Watched it with the Tenerife Citizens in Los Cristianos. Totally concur with your analysis. Doku was different gravy today. So deserved his goal.
I'm off to Fuerteventura on Wednesday and looking forward to seeing the Scouse twats the infest our airport..will be wearing my City shirt to rub it in lol..
Enjoy your holiday mate
