The “Jack Grealish? for 100m?” brigade.

He'll just revert to Jack Grealish now, we've all know for ages that it's just Jack Grealish but the media have no reason now to use the tag.

They'll just find someone else to pop at.

As for the game, only just found time to dive into this thread. Fucking lovely day/game probably made better strangely by going behind.
 
really enjoyed that, i do like a lunchtime kick off that ends so well.

Despite City being the better team with more chances in the 1st half, there was a nasty air of the counter attack throughout , as shown by the Salah goal and by Grealish's last ditch tackle. Rodri got a little caught up in the press, Liverpool did quite well against him in the first half, that was probably their only positive.

2nd half City came out a bit tweaked and blew them away, it was extremely one sided and wonderful to watch. i'll echo another poster by saying that Akanji did have a hard job to do in that game, but still looks all a bit scared of what's going on. Anyway, he's learning a lot. Everyone else was brilliant, really.

Liverpool were toss. Trent was toss. Fabinho was toss. I dont even know what Gakpo is and Klopp looks tired.

my Rodri 'red' card thought: maybe, in isolation, Rodri's 2nd 'pull' may have sometimes got a yellow and sometimes not, and in this case we had a ref that decided it didn't warrant one. Maybe he was lucky, maybe it was the right decision, but I am now fairly certain the 2nd yellow wasnt given due to Liverpool surrounding the ref. Given the new FA push on this, Hooper could not be seen to be capitulating to a 2nd yellow while being hounded, he just couldnt. I really believe Liverpool may have gotten their desired red card if they hadnt acted like twats.

Agree. And yet weirdly despite going behind, I felt fairly calm and sure we would turn it round, we had dominated apart from their usual couple of quick breakaways

When Rodri go this yellow the ref did that “you did one over there and another over there” thing which I thought was wrong because it was his first foul. Stones had done a couple and I wondered if the ref had confused them. i suspect someone had a word because a red card for two fouls would have been exceptionally harsh

Fabinho got away with 4 yellow card challenges in the first 8 minutes so I'm not interested in hearing them whinging about Rodders.
