Liverpool v City - post match thread

[paulsimpson]

Problem is, we aren't going to win the CL this year and if we don't start prioritising league immediately, we'll quickly discover we actually can't win it next year, because we won't be in it.

Which is why we are in a catch 22 situation - we know that the champions league is so so difficult but with the tired players and still needing to maintain 4th position we can end up confusing our objectives. Which is the overriding priority here ?? Go for both and end up possibly losing both or go for one ( premier ?) and getting as far as possible in the other. Here's me thinking we have our mentality back after Kiev and Wembley but tonight shows it can't be done. 2 years ago we would have been able but we don't have it in us to grind out a result after an exhausting 120 mins a few days previously . He's got to play the percentages now- keep certain people fit for the premier league would be my preference particularly in the light of the Chelsea FA cup match where he rested people . Its all about tactics now I'm afraid and MP may not have it . We will know at the weekend .
Huge game . lose 4 on the trot and he may be gone .Win and the pressure is off.

If we had the passion, desire, commitment and drive like Leicester do, we'd walk this league.

But your opinion is that of a smacked fucking arse, and not one of a blue who should remember where we've been.

Mard arse.

Yeah I have just got in from Liverpool, thats where I have been.

Just because we were shit once does not mean Pellegrini is impervious to criticism.

I've given myself a bit of time to calm down before posting.

What a fucking shambles. The charming twat can't go soon enough for me. And he can take some of the shithouse players with him, including those who think they're fucking superstars and untouchable.

Pellegrini's man management has been shit for two years now, his use of youth players has been shittier still, his game and squad management none existent, and his tactical nous nil.

It's fucking embarrassing that we have got Pep coming next year because we are so far behind anything he has ever managed. The poor lad's going to inherit the biggest bunch of egotistical, selfish, and lazy bastards going. If I was him I'd say thanks but no thanks whilst I still could. Beg Bayern for forgiveness, or go and take the PSG or Chelsea job instead.

I know I'll get slated for this rant but I've fucking had enough.

Just like Leicester were never going to be top of the league with 10 games to go you mean?

It's amazing what you can do when you can achieve with a manager who can motivate and players who put a shift in isn't it?

 

[Metalartin]

Does it look to you like the players know the rivalry between our two Cities and whats at stake whenever a Manchester Club takes on a Liverpool Club?

Not to me, we always look like we come into a game a lot less fired up against either of them, our players never have that problem against United... so maybe our fans haven't conveyed it to the players how much the game means like theirs obviously have. Our fans are too nice, so our players are too nice until it's too late in a game... they fucking hate us and have no respect for us either, everyone needs to realize that.

It is a good job you gave yourself time to calm down

If you can not see that we are going backwards under Pellegrini then I don't know what to say. Every part of the 1st team squad is in a far worse state now than it was when he came.

We concede far more goals, we do not score as many, we get beat off any decent team, our home record is shocking, there is no plan or tactics. How many times have we let in 3 or more goals under Pellegrini? His record against the top teams is truly abysmal.

Yes he won a double but lets honest here, he had the best squad in the country and a defensive system in place which was put together by Mancini. He has systematically tore all that apart to the point where we are getting embarrassed at home by average teams. As for the Chumps league, he has had 2 comparatively easy groups in comparison to what we previously had and he nearly blew that last year. How many top teams did we play to win the Carling cup?

I do not blame him wholly, Txiki Begiristain needs to take a large part of the blame.

The same person who has helped bring on pep?

I've been on here 5 days and lurked about a month or two. I've seen thread after thread blaming everyone else for things or slating the team rather unnecessarily. Blues with huge post numbers slating other blues who don't share the so called majority view.

Yeah I have just got in from Liverpool, thats where I have been.

Just because we were shit once does not mean Pellegrini is impervious to criticism.

what a strange place this place is. Thankfully sure it doesn't represent the clubs following in general.

Lol...I love reading posts by people as pissed off as me.
