Liverpool v City 1st leg CL Qtr Final post match

Bad night at the office for all concerned , that’s life and football, let’s get some perspective and remember how far our manager has taken us this season and look at the league table , it’s not the end of the world .
 
Played shit first half & controlled 2nd half & thought Sterling changed it. Linesmen made iffy calls, can live with Salah off but 3 times Sane wrongly ruled off & resulted in goal disallowed. Also should have had a pen.

Mystified at Gundogan selection which went against how we’ve played. I thought the Dippers did a superb job gliding space around Silva.

We hardly ever turn up at Anfield. I've enjoyed us winning twice there in my lifetime. It has to be psychological at this stage; we're beaten before the game starts. And I foolishly believed that tonight would be different. More the fool me.

I think we as fans, and the hierarchy at the club may well have to bite the bullet and accept that we don’t have a manager capable of winning this competition without a Messi in the side.

Personally, whilst disappointed at the probability of going out with a whimper again, I’m happy enough with the league and league cup this season. As I was when Pelligrini won it in his first season.

But if we want to be a European player we have to accept we are currently miles away with our thinking and our whole psychology as a team and a club.

At elite level we are a million miles away from competing. We’re a Seville or a Roma.

I’m not that bothered about Europe myself but I reckon the higher ups are. Yet more changes needed in the summer to get us to the level we are aiming at. We’re no closer now than we were shortly after the takeover.

What is shameful and frustrating is that Liverpool are nowhere near as good as we are but they were set up to win tonight. Pep was out-thought and out-tacticed yet again by Klopp on the big stage.

We’ve looked great against domestic opposition this year but we haven’t progressed on the big stage one iota.

For fucks sake.
 
Can’t take anything away from Liverpool. They and their fans were up for it, either forced or not. And they got their night.

Two dubious offside decisions might have changed it, but we are in no position to complain. We were shit, they were great. No shots on target and Liverpool were happy to let us have the possession in the 2nd half.

Pep made his first mistakes this season. And what was he thinking bringing on Sterling instead of Bernardo. It only suited the atmosphere.
Kompany was exposed in the first half. Walker needs to get his feet back on the ground. He is no Marcelo or Alves. Laporte, despite not a left back, was doing his job.
Whatever, everybody was poor. And Liverpool did the job.
Only solution now is to win the league by beating United and then go in to the return game, and play with whatever risk there’s left. It’s not over, but fear me did we made it hard for ourselves.
 
I’m beginning to dislike Liverpool almost as much as United.

I think it’s ludicrous to suggest that we will overturn a 3 goal deficit. It’s a very respectable double for us this year and I can have no complaints.

If VAR was used the game would have ended 2-2 but it's not used for the biggest competition in club football, I wonder why

That’s a very valid point.

We were schooled but funny how different the game would have been considering they were all exceptionally marginal decisions.
