Liverpool v City - post match thread
- Thread starter Prestwich_Blue
- Start date
It was a terrible performance but not unexpected there. I remember an almost identical game at Anfield when we lost 3 0. Three days later we beat the rags in the semi final and went on a great run for the rest of the season. We put so much into the previous two games, where we have played great, it is a shame we couldn't continue in that vein but "eez football"
Miraculously it hasn't changed much at the top as all the others have stumbled. We have villa and Norwich next ( with Newcastle being our game in hand) and the game at carrow road is the Saturday lunch time game. We have to win those 2 games and the table will look interesting as we walk off the pitch at the end of that game. It's the weirdest season ever and we can finish anywhere from 1st to 8th !
Maybe I'm still on a high from Sunday but you don't get a trophy for winning a league game so I'm glad if we had to play like this, it was today. I appreciate the manager made mistakes and some of the performances were abysmal, but the title hasn't gone yet, I'm convinced of that, partly because the opposition isn't up to much either !

Silva has been immense for us and will go down as one of our best players, but tonight he was just having the ball took off him time and again. Not the only one sadly. This team is done and I hope Pep rips it right up and puts a group of battling players. Some of the play was sub-pub team not for the first time. Fucking shameful from the players and that inept manager of ours.
The fact we constantly give him the ball when he has three players round him is grinding him into the ground , he's become the go to man because he's surrounded by less technically gifted players around him.
You can see it every game " fuck it give it Dave to pull us out of the shit"
He will be rejuvenated under Pep-Mark my words.

Why can't we pass the ball to one of our own?
Why can't we keep the ball at throw-ins?
Why can't we beat the first man at corners?
Why can't we stick a good cross into the box?
Basics gone wrong - why?

So you don't think it's justified after that tactical masterclass
No I don't think its justified, at all. The team were piss poor agreed but in truth there was nothing left in the tank after the last week. That's not the fault of the manager.
Always a rollercoaster with City and there's plenty of rises and falls to come this season I bet.
We will need to win 10 of last eleven to have a chance of winning the title.
We have had enough falls this season , we have broken all sorts of records ( all of them bad ) this season under a manager who is well past it for the premier league now and a squad that has long run its race.
You can bet your house on the fact we won't win 10 of our last 11 games.
We are shambles of a side this season and the writing was on the wall from the start of last season.

The players clearly can't be arsed and our manager lets them get away with it.

Absolute shambolic performance tonight.
100% Trust in Sterling??? to then hook him off at Half Time for Bony who strolls around like he doesn't give a flying fuck.
A lot of players are playing for their futures because Pep won't give two shits to anyone who doesn't fit into his philosophy of hard work, so you'd think they'd put the effort in. Performances recently are reminding me of the last few in the SGE era.

I don't expect praise but the team were exhausted, it was plain to see. With very few options that is hardly Pellegrini's fault is it?
Why weren't Liverpool exhausted? I know because it's a bullshit excuse!
