Liverpool (H) - Post-Match Thread

Here are a few thoughts after last night game :

The defence has improved tremendously. Of course it has. We have good, fit defenders. We still don't have a left back. Mendy is a real shame. But guess what, putting four able defenders in a team really shores up your defence.
Not really rocket science this.

Attack is a still a mess. We had a nonexistent midfield. Again no rocket science. We have with us two immobile midfielders who can't tackle or run unless its Burnley or some tinpot team from Greece. Replace Rodri with a fit and young Fernandinho and Gundogan skills with a ball retention king David Silva we have the team that got to 100 points or won 4 trophies in a season.

Why don't we have a left back or a good replacement of Ferna or Merlin is everybody's guess but I am not paid millions to do this so probably the competent people at the club would have the answer. But the problems are quite evident and the same from last 15 months whether we play Sheffield or Chelsea. As a fan i would only understand this match.

We at City don't get to say that very often but our very able defenders saved our asses last night.
 
Blame the premier league for that shit show of a game yesterday.
 
defenders saved our asses last night?
I watch another game that penalty and Gabriel miss save Liverpool asses
My only complaint is not try to win after they lost r b
Pep was scared more then go for attack
But steel more positive after the match
We have the team to win the league
Time will tell

People blaming Sterling, Jesus and Ferrin out for not scoring.. but exactly how many chances are we creating this season? Answer.. not many at all. It all stems from not pulling the opposition out of position by not moving the ball nearly quickly enough.. we have zero drive from midfield and when Kev is off as he was today we are not finding it from the Gundog and Rodri combo. We needed energy and drive during that last 30 mins.. both Bernardo and Foden should have been on and one of the pivots should have been sacrificed.

Movement and speed of play create space and chances.. we are letting our attacking players down with our current set up and we aren’t even changing it when the opportunity presents itself.

Spanish Dave picking up pockets is a noticeable absence to our play.. but it is what it is as he has gone so we need to find a way to and we are not doing it.

Most people on here got there wish and that was that foden was ready to fill the boots of our greatest ever player. Foden will be good but not on silvas level .

Anyone who thinks we did enough to win that game needs to take off those blue tinted glasses. That was the fairest draw you'll ever see

On the balance of play the result was pretty fair but we had the better chances to win the game and really should have taken at least 2 of them.
 
It still feels like we have lost something in attack. Everything is high paced lung busting counter attack style football. We need to play with more control. The goal came from a 19 pass move and was more like what this City side can do.

Nice build up and then a change of pace when De Bruyne fired it in to Gabby and he tucked it away brilliantly.

De Bruyne seems to be playing every game like we are 1-0 down with 5 minutes left. But when we do get a lead in a game the pace then drops. I do wonder if Pep is telling the team to go all out for the lead to then conserve energy. He seems really concerned by fitness this season and there must be science behind it.

Blame the world of football in general, greed and money.

International games should be scraped during this pandemic, and maybe even european competitions.

Far too many games, the players are shattered and not surprisingly bored. Playing in empty stadiums must be dire.
