Cancelo created more openings than Mahrez and Grealish combined. Mahrez was about creating space for himself, Grealish didn't shine either. Both will improve, though.
Think we'll go with Foden right and Grealish left vs W Ham.

Obviously disappointed ,but was just trying to imagine the devastated feeling the Dippers have after Slippy G and last season, we must really be their worst nightmare.
I don't want to be personal ,but dear me those teeth make Klipperty look unhinged, he would be at home in the 3:30 at Aintree.

Going to take time for a difference in the system. Yesterday at times it looked like we was still playing with the false nine system. Need to get the ball forward quicker and get the best out of Haaland
This notion that we didn't create enough for Haaland. He had two great and one decent chances. It's probably unrealistic to expect from the team to create 5 chances for him against Liverpool. In some games, Haaland will score 3 goals from fewer chances than yesterday. He had an off day, Kevin as well. Imagine when both are on song...

Positives from yesterday was that Foden looks absolutely ready for the season, that directness he brings with those technical ability is really a joy for us fans, Alvarez is Tevez like , pretty sure he will become a fan favourite soon. Walker is a beast of a player, Watching him defend both Robertson and Dias alone was funny.

That's 6 goals conceded in our last two v Feral FC that would alarm me as Manager.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think we were that bad. The 3-1 scoreline flattered Liverpool I thought.
We had a few very good chances (Haaland x2, Mahrez start of second half), dominated the ball for the majority, fought well against them when they had it and overall looked composed.
For a third pre-season game and it being against that lot, I think it was a good exercise. We’ll obviously get better than we were yesterday and given we weren’t that bad, it’s a promising sign and performance IMO.

Yeah, and they were going on like the offside was tight when he was a couple of feet offside.All this nonesense spouted after a clear offside decision against the Liverpool player.
I dream of the day that Amazon or someone takes over the games and gives us multiple commentary options...
That said, in our case we'd probably get two options;
Man utd pundits or
Liverpool pundits
I’m going to sound like a broken record with Ake and it’s nothing particularly against him but when he’s in the side, we suffer with build up. He’s a good defender but he’s too safe in possession.
My ST is the corner flag next to the away fans so have the perfect angle of any passes Laporte makes to the wing back/winger and he takes risks with bending it around their attacker. Yesterday I had a similar view with Ake and rather than picking Cancelo out and releasing him into space, he’d turn back and give it Dias.
It’s a tiny detail but one that’s really important to how we play. Like I said, nothing against Ake as he’s a good defender etc. but he needs to be better with the ball.
Stones and Laporte are the ones who, when they play, make us a lot more fluid in the build up because they’re brave with it.

Well that played out as badly as I feared. From ITV's totally impartial commentary to most our squad looking undercooked. From an obligatory Salah penalty to their fullbacks scoring and assisting. From Nunez scoring and Haaland missing sitters, playing beautifully into the media narative.
Still it could be so much worse 'imagine being them'. One shudders.
