Liverpool v City 1st leg CL Qtr Final post match

WELL that was something. Pep has always been his own undoing. He did the same thing twice while he was Bayern, at this same stage. Here's a rule of the thumb: Play the players at their EXACT position. He left muller on the bench, played Alcantara as a false 9 and got walloped. Today? He played Laporte as a full back, no attacking threat from that position. Sane was totally up on his own. We had Danilo, we had Delph, very capable fullbacks with the occasional forward run but he instead played Laporte in that position. Against Everton, we went 3 at the back, swamped the midfield with 5 players, I was impressed and I thought Pep was going to play that template today but NOOOOOOO, instead he did something else. Pep is a genius alright but sometimes keep it simple, DO NOT RE-INVENT THE WHEEL.
