Liverpool (H) | Post match thread

[argyle]

I've felt the past few times they are due a result against them, surely it has to be this time...

Never put your faith on Spurs to do anything other than be Spursy.

 

[mackenzie]

Disappointed we didn't capitalise on our first half, but the red Scouse twats aren't second for no reason.
Still think we should have buried it though.

Thought we were brilliant today against a really good team. Laporte and Stones were imperious, Rodri, KDB and Silva bossing the midfield. Foden gave another quality performance and Jesus had a great game and scored a great goal.

The disappointment is that with a top striker we win that game easily, Jesus had 2 chances to square ball for a potential shot and hit side netting and Grealish near the end has to play KDB in.

It’s al made up. I’m resigned to it now

Which is exactly what they want us to do, sadly.

But I can’t fault anyone for that reaction. It’s disheartening to see the sport you love so clearly transitioning in to WWE-like theatre.

 

[Bluesince1979]

I agree but if we play a striker the rest of true set up has to change. Could be a transition year next year unless it clicks early

Know what you mean but i think this little experiment has run its course now. A coach of peps talents shouldnt have any issues integrating a striker and it shouldnt even be thought of as an excuse

A lot of negativity on here about Sterling from people who are better tacticians than Pep. Maybe there was a reason we played our three fastest pressing forwards against a team whose most dangerous attack is a direct long ball counter, can't imagine what that would be.

I know why he did it and agree with him. But surely even you can see thar Sterling is below the quality we need to stay at the top.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We saw a level today from City, which, at times, is miles beyond anyone else playing the same game today.

We should have been three or four goals to the good in the first half.

A crazy opening ten-minute spell at the start of the second half cost us the three points, but we were still the team asking most of the questions.

Thought Ederson, Cancelo and Stones were ropey and Sterling was caught on his heels a too few many times, but all the lads showed the intensity we are going to need to win our remaining games.

Thought Rodri, Kev, Bernie and Phil were immense but Gabby was the best player on the pitch.

Liverpool were ordinary, to the point you wonder how they would manage without one of their strikers not coming to the rescue, as their midfield is fucking woeful.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Wtf we do in the dressing room at half time just beats me.

I think we must smoke a few spliffs.

 

[Gray]

He decided not to book Thiago first time in the same way KDb didnt get booked for his tackle on Fabinho in the final third near the end.

all of you take off your blue glasses. In the post match not one person has mentioned it including United ex players - so maybe its just you

De Bruyne didn’t tackle Fabinho he was playing the ball away and Fabinho ran into him. Barking mad decision by that pillock Taylor.

 

[Bluemoon115]

They got away with one.

Easier to say now it's in our hands, but we've got these.

Title is ours.
