Liverpool V City Match discussion

[PSmyth07]

Why are people hounding Kolo? He looked better than Kompany that half.

Thats 3-5-2 for you, Kolo and Zaba pushing out to the wings leaving Kompany with little to do.

3-5-2 works best with pace which we seem to have very little of.

3-5-2 works best when the wingbacks go past the center circle. At this point we are playing an almost Chelseaesque 7-1-2.

 

[yaba daba BLUUUUUE]

"you may not have seen at at home on the television, but the runs he is making the off ball is absolutely fantastic" talking about ballotelli, Gary Neville.

HaHa que the ''they pay the ref in kind'' type jokes. As kolarov bent over to put the ball down the ref grabbed his waist from behind looked a bit dodgy lol from the angle on tv

 

[Stoned Rose]

The choice of 3-5-2 (and one that involves Kolo at that) means Yaya has to sit deeper than usual to 'protect' it. He can do that role but he is much better off further up field being involved in directing midfield and starting/supporting attacks.

This basically means our main man isn't free to do what he does best.

A risky decision especially in an away game.

Nasri looks well off the pace and considering he had a blinder last week perhaps he is injured?

Kolarov is not as effective either defensively or offensively as Clichy but due to there being no 'width' in the squad he had to start.

 

[Bobbies Black Bins]

The longer Kolarov and mario stay on the less likley we are to get anything out of this game.

Nobody is having a bad game (although Mario's passing is poor), we just aren't playing at a high enough intensity. Liverpool are playing harder, faster, stronger than us all over the pitch.

 

[MCFC BOB]

Well, we all know who we're missing.

GARETH. BARRY.

 

[CityCTID]

I know he's a fucking folk hero and all because of all the funny things he does to give us all so much joy off the pitch, but...

...as a longtime City fan, I will NEVER throw my full support behind a player who is as inconsistent and LAZY as Mario Balotelli SO OFTEN IS on the pitch. I could give a shit about your girlfriend's tits, Mario, or your car or your clothes or your money or your social life. When you get on the pitch, RUN. YOU LAZY, SPOILED PIG.

Also, learn how to be strong and keep your feet sometimes.

fuck off rag

Silva for Milner at ht if we're still losing at 60 mins 442 dzeko for balo or nasri
