Liverpool V City post match discussion.

[bluevengence]

just shows how far we have come, when the liverpool fans have to behave like underdogs in an FA cup match. horrible shite

True.....and the scouse wankfest commentry was doing me head in as well

It was a good point, not a great performance. Probably fair in the end. Reina is up with Valdes as the most overrated keeper in the world.

Was impressed with Joe Allen for them, they've got some good CM's with him, Gerrard, Sahin, and Lucas. Probably the best collection of CM's in the league, even if they're all somewhat kind of similar. Borini was shite. Suarez is a ****.

Zabaleta, De Jong, Tevez our best 3. Kolarov and Balotelli woeful. Milner not nearly as good in the RWB position as he was against Chelsea. I'm happy enough with the point.

milner just covering yards for 90 minutes doesn't really cut it anymore for me. he gives 100%, no doubt, but playing him away at anfield on the wing where we need an outlet, isn't going to work.

Whats happened to his crossing? he seems to really hesitate now, rather than whipping the ball in

Can't answer that mate, but maybe some of it has to do with who is (or isn't in the box). I think it was Milner (might've been Nasri) very early in the game where he got a great ball out wide to the right, was about to play it in, but no one was even in the box. Mario was trotting off somewhere, Tevez was deep or out towards the left.

Awful performance today, Liverpool are a poor team, playing at Anfield or not, we should have beaten them today, we were the best team for 20 minutes and then switched off.

2 goals given away from set pieces, first was poor, poor marking, our worst header of the ball marking their best, defence coaching/planning needs sorting.

The second, Ok it wasn't a free kick, but was given, and we should know what Suarez is capable of, so put an extra man on the wall and he doesn't get the ball around it.

But the worse thing about today, that formation was awful, no seemed comfortable, Yaya becomes ordinary playing deep and gets in the way and leaves to much of a gap between mid and forwards, we don't need two holding midfielders against a team like Liverpool, even when playing three at the back, Kolo showed Lescott is the better partner for Vinnie, and Zaba is clearly a better right back than centre half. And Mario still needs to do more.

Very disappointed today.

Wow, you can't be too disappointed mate with a point at anfield. lets see how chelsea and united get on there

... with Dzeko chasing him full tilt into a nervy spin

.... and who intercepted it, rounded the 'keeper and put it in the net...

Tevez was fantastic without doubt but looked an awful lot better with Edin pulling the defence about and actually trying for the team. I'm a big fan of Balotelli's talent, but he offered so little today. Edin really deserves to start the next game, was very unfortunate not to start today.

Dzeko's hold up and link up play was decent but his shooting is poor, Mario was poor altogether today.

Against QPR (and even stoke) I'd go with Dzeko and Tevez

They should have had 15 pens...

Would have been another 3-2 if Edin didn't need so many chances to score a goal, should have buried that.

I love the lad and defend him quite often on here but that last chance he had should have been a goal. Had it been Van Persie (I know, but just making a point), that would have been the winner.

I wish we did at our place. Would get more decisions our way and create better atmosphere.

Look at the back end of our team. Kolarov, Kolo, Milner are all average. NDJ and Zabaleta aren't much better than that and that's why we couldn't keep the ball when they were pressing us in our own half. We really need to strengthen towards the back. Going forward were fine, Dzeko is much better than Balo i can't understand how Mancini doesn't see that. We've got to improve fast. Chelsea and Utd will be a lot stronger this time around.

Zabaleta is quality and is seriously underrated by some people on here. He is the perfect pro and IMO he is a better player than Richards. He would be the first choice at right back at any club in the premiership.

Spot on - what a clueless comment by Armaan.

Zab is a great right back and can also cover other positions when needed.

I do rate Zab... He's a solid player but he's not a world beater. Probably stupid of me to rate him like I did but i was just upset at that performance tbh. The back end though is weak.

Because there a bunch of scouse cnuts. Same thing at everton.
