Liverpool (H) Post-Match Thread

It's not often in the Premier League that a single player just looks at a different level than everyone else on the pitch consistently but our Kev does it almost weekly. We're so lucky to have him leading this team into a new (ish) era.

World class gets bandied around a lot but he is absolutely in the top few players in the world. Incredible.

the best player ever in most supporters eyes was the imperious Colin Bell. Kev just seems to be from the same mould

so as Brian Clough once famously said (or somethign very similar) - we will have a discussion/argument and after that discussion we will decide I was right all along!

Thanks
 
No Kun, David and Dinho last night, just as in the starting XI in Madrid.

Pep and the lads showed in these two big games City will continue to be a force even after legends like them.
 
Just watched the game back on City+...

Didn’t notice it last night but both teams were rubbish in the first 15mins, giving the ball away for fun. Liverpool then took over the game for 5mins and had the chance that hit the post, which woke City up!

I notice that the ref was just about to call for a drinks break but decided not to and then we got a penalty which Henderson was furious about. Haha

We then took over the game from there.

Noticed that every time we play 2 defensive mids against Liverpool, we win. We’ve yet to play that way at Anfield yet...

Did Ederson handle the ball outside the box? I think he did, glad nobody’s mentioned it in the press because it always ends up being evened up by a red card elsewhere the next week with us!

Tactically, the way we pulled their defenders out of position, was superb from City. But I thought we gave the ball away far too much. No individuals were really at fault for this, pretty much everyone was at it. Nothing major in terms of this game but on another day that could be costly!

Foden, Sterling and de Bruyne were all good in patches (even then all 3 needed to do much better in some situations), Thought Foden and Sterling were actually even better defensively than they were in attack.

Jesus has not had a good run of form since we’ve come back and he needs to get his game going! He worked hard though.

I noticed again that City play very tactically and technically in all situations, whereas Liverpool are more of a team that tries to cause panic and rush the ball forward.

Nowt wrong with either way of playing, similarly there’s nowt wrong with other ways of playing neither, like teams who kick a lot of high balls forward. It’s what makes the Prem so hard because there are four or five different styles across the teams (in some leagues there’s one, maybe two styles across a whole league).

Tell you what, we were far from our best but could have easily come away with a bigger win. We only really played well in spells and no individual was particularly great. But we were just miles better on the night, Imagine what it could have been if we’d been firing at all cylinders...

Very little reported about how Klopp kept the guard of honour waiting for nearly five minutes before deigning to appear. No wonder our boys were less than enthusiastic with their applause. A shame that Sterling's shot was not going directly in as he deserved at least a pair and arguably a hat trick on the night. Also a shame about the handball but VAR was technically correct, the law being an arse in this case.

Havent heard anything about liverpool being later out. What is the fine for being late going by UEFA it's about 20k per 40 seconds

Self congratulation and self affirmation are another “interesting” part of your psychological profile (although I am not aware that Brian Clough ever said that. I am sure he would have simply adored your positivity though)
 
Average until the penalty then the boys turned it on. Absolute masterclass. Bernardo the shithouse too. Legend.

I think other teams will. They tend to have the odd bad patch rather than the odd bad game, and they've not exactly been setting the game alight either side of the restart. They expound well to happy chappy klopp, but is suspect his depression and bitterness in the dressing room after last night will not give them much of a lift. Even if they do beat 100 points, it's hardly the same with a 3 month break just as the going gets tough.

Odd bad patch? Now I don’t like them in the slightest but they've lost only 3 league games in almost 2 seasons and 2 of them were against us.
I do agree that any records they get are completely different to any other records that have ever been achieved, given the 3 month rest, 5 substitutes and no crowds introduced with a quarter of the season to go.
 
has anyone seen owt of that poster bigging up the dippers yesterday; jay...MCFC I think he was called.
