Liverpool (H) | Post match thread

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.
Yeah, in both games this season we've been the better team and they couldn't have complained if they lost both. But they have Salah who in both games saved their arse.

We had the chances though and if we had a proper striker he would've finished both Sterling's early chance and Mahrez's last minute effort and the scoreline would have been a better reflection on the game.

Pep will know we are better than them, and they know it too.

In my opinion, you could add Laporte to the highlighted bit ;-)
 
They were shit all game and it was like playing Wimbledon back in the day, hooooof it forward and hope for the best, which they got on the 2 attempts on goal. We just failed to capitalise on our chances and today proved that we miss a top striker.

Sorry Razza, you really have got to be let go, you couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.
 
Them balls running across the six yard box, a Sergio feast…
Cancelo and Walker both amazing apart from one or two brain farts
All day long mate Sergio would have had a field day.

Yeah agree about the brain farts but both more than made up for them over the rest of the game. Walkers recovery runs are something else!
 
Got in from the match, had a couple of drinks to calm the nerves. On reflection we should absolutely have won that, but on the plus side we didn't lose it. Its as you were in terms of the title. Nothing lost and nothing gained. The boys were magnificent today.
Not quite quite as you were

Before the match the title was in the dippers hands.. now it’s not
 
Great performance, good result.
Slightly disappointed we didn’t score more.
A proper striker and we win today.
 
Not Pep to blame for that one is it. FFP bollocks mean we can not go over budget for players and Kane (best available at the time) was priced out of our budget.
We pulled out righty so. Levy got greedier then he normally is after seeing us pay 100m for Grealish.

Fitting an out and out Striker into our play will be interesting next season, which 1 of the rotating excellent front 6 misses out?

Don't think it will be as straightforward as saying Haaland or whoever scores a bagful for us in our current set up.

We were excellent today but reckon Gundog finishes a couple of those balls across the box, but equally would we have created so many without Raz, Phil and Jesus playing how they did today?

This is what you get with Pep, so many qaulity midfield and forward options and no drop off when rotated,

I love it.
