Liverpool (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Fordyboy46]

WE seemed happy to bumble along for a point...that in itself isn't going to cost/win us the league but you can be sure if we were away in Liverpool Klopp wouldn't have played like we did.

The players from both sides definitely settled for a point in that second half, very poor

Win the two games in hand and we're joint top with spurs. It's not all doom and gloom.

Er, win the 1 game in hand and move to 7th I think you mean?

 

[sir baconface]

Some of the bollox written in this thread if we don’t win is utterly mind blowing

Fortunately juxtaposed by the odd masterpiece of insight and finely honed argument.

No mention by Tyler of that world class tackle by Cancelo.

That was brilliant, his recovery of the ball when on the floor was unbelievable, I thought salad was in.

 

[Cheeky Txiki]

Gundogan's so called great passing was the worst, every forward pass seemed misplaced.

It's time we start developing Foden only for that David Silva role, otherwise what can be a great season might go to waste.

Two games?

1 Leicester P8 W6 D0 L2 Pts 18

10 Man City P7 W3 D3 L1 Pts 12

Not sure either of us will win it this season.

 

[chesterbells]

One defeat in the first 12 games in all competitions.

Surprised sky haven't highlighted that.

And as the poster above alluded to we win our game in hand and it looks better.

No need to panic, only 7 games played, just look at the top 3, as if these will be top at the end of the season.

Great post.
Yep, if we’d won a couple of those 3 games we’ve drawn so far, I think the vast majority would be ok with a draw in today’s match.

Well at least we didn't lose but that game was there for the taking. We looked frightened to take them on and that is a worry. We do look tougher to break down but we go forward so slowly. Early in the season I know but just ten goals is a pitiful return for the squad we have. Raheem looked not bothered today and we rely too heavily on Kev to produce big moments. Anyway onwards and upwards - At least Jesus looks good and as I say the defence is very solid.

Remember, we have played without a striker for most of the srason.

 

[Leeky]

At the moment we’re not firing on all cylinders, but you don’t win the league now, it’s important that we stay as close as possible until the new year, get Champions league out the way then hopefully we can push on. The only thing I’m concerned about are the goals, but defence looks solid.

Far too much positivity and reality starting on here for a lot of people on this forum!!

You hate to see it, but under these conditions you'd fancy Mourinho grinding out shit on a stick 1-0s in empty stadiums.

 

[citymad]

eh? We are playing 39 games?? Quality.. hadn’t realise that!

still won’t win the league playing like this though :(

oops my mistake. It's still not doom and gloom though, closer to the magic 40 mark than we were this morning :)

 

[DTKOAG]

We miss a 20 year old David Silva.
No real imagination.

 

[paul140]

Disappointed in the end with us not to be able to get all 3 points.
In saying that though at least we didn't lose, and allow the gap grow to 8 points..
I'm Choosing to remain optimistic about the draw today, as come the end of the season that could as easily turn about to be a point gained rather than two points lost.
As I said it's still relatively early days and there is a long long way yet to go.

Whoever wins it will do it with around 80 points, more likely to be us or liverpool than anyone else . Spurs would be my outsiders though.

 

[Blue Llama]

You can't fucking complain about too many fixtures and make 1 sub against liverpool.

Or about being allowed 5 subs

Hmmm.
Should have won, but we seemed fearful even though the dippers defence was makeshift.

No

 

[citytill1die84]

Lot of over the top people in here today anybody would think we drew with Burnley and not the Premier League Champions.

YCNMIU

I like your optimism but despite looking stronger defensively we have looked shit elsewhere, hence winning just three games and Pep seems to have a penchant for the wrong players and combinations of players. It does not bode well at all imo.

Drawing a lot of games is usually a sign of a poor season if you are aiming for the title. You can probably only draw 7 or 8 games max and win the league.. we’ve nearly used up half of our quota 20% into the season.

scored 10 goals.. dropped 9 points says it all. 7 games in and we have scored just one more goal than we have leaked points. That is piss poor.
