Liverpool (H) | Post-Match Thread

Agreed. The point I'm making is Arsenal have the advantage & it's their title to lose.

When Arsenal lost against Everton, many of us wanted the PL trophy handed to us there & then, & were contacting Bet Fred for an early payout.

However I warned that Arsenal's loss would only be our gain if we capitalised on it, & we fucked up. Nothing's a foregone conclusion, but we're relying on ourselves to win our game in hand & to beat Arsenal at the Etihad, but that still leaves a two point deficit.

Arsenal are in as much danger of dropping points as we are, as this season's proved. We've failed to take our advantages throughout the season & now the PL title is out of our hands.

I just feel our current form has come too late for us to control our PL destiny in the games left, hence why we're relying on Arsenal faltering at some point which I'm increasingly failing to see...

We can revisit this conversation in a couple months.

Let's not! Lol :-)

I'm hoping we prevail with every ounce of my fibre, but considering games left I doubt we have enough time to make up the difference. I'm hope I'm wildly wrong about this... )(

Only down for me is Silver not coming on with a drink to mimic what he did when they won the PL

Hahaha, that would have been the biggest wum of all time considering how we were bossing it by then.

I also watched them warm up
They didn’t look very professional. Half hearted at best
The warm up stretches looked like a Sunday league team

Allison practising his passing out was also poor
He didn’t look comfortable on the ball at all and that’s without being closed down

I noticed them doing warm ups in pairs.
And i also noticed how amatuerish it looked.
Here they are playing the champions and they are warming up by throwing the ball to eachother and doing headers.

My lads U15s team don't even do that.

Maybe bingo watches other teams warm up to get tips for his own warm ups.

Very strange.

Compensation claims coming in....

'Had a fall that wasn't your fault?'

On MoTD, the commentator says City only has four wins in the last sixteen games in all competitions against Liverpool.

Can't be arsed looking, but that surely isn't correct.

It was close 5 wins out of 16, with Liverpool winning 7.

But it's also a bit of a contrived fact, as 3 of those Liverpool wins were the first 3. Up until the FA Cup last year, Liverpool had won 1 in 9 against us, and as of today, Liverpool have 4 wins in their last 14 against us.

All we're hoping for is Arsenal draw a game before they play us
A friend of a friend is an Arsenal fan and every now and again we exchange a WhatsApp
He's still of the belief City will win the league

I actually almost had a full on scrap with an ex pro football player, who is now a manager for a lower league club… the night before the country went into lock down. Over VVD and TAA. He said VVD was the best CB he’s ever seen in his life and TAA the best RB of all time. I said both were the most over hyped players, I had ever seen in my entire life. VVD is a great talker/organiser. But he was completely protected by 3 DMs. Imagine having 3 Rodri’s in your team. They were never exposed defensively. Now because of their system change, he is exposed, and he’s just as I said, a decent mid table defender. TAA is on another level though, he’s absolutely crap at defending. His reading of the game is at a Sunday league level. He’s got an unbelievable pass, but for me he should be playing attacking midfield for someone like Burnley. I’m not even joking.

Totally agree mate.

Take away the (very good) delivery from wide positions and there isn’t much else left with TAA.

100% not a RB on any planet, either.

It’s genius what Pep has come up with for Stones, we now have a double pivot and Stones has got the capability to take the ball at pressure and look forward. It opens up extra options of passing lanes going forward rather than just Rodri finding them. Probably why we have created and scored a lot more goals recently.

it like having 2 Rodris. almost cheat mode.

Yeah but they’ve “shared” dominating the game with us over the last few years ;)
