Manchester City vs Liverpool Pre Match Thread.

[kun]

That was a handful of fans...yet you want to tar every Liverpool fan with the same brush? Don't be daft, mate. Every club, including yours, has fans that start on opposition fans.

As for your hatred of Rodgers - It seems to me that you can see the remarkable job he's done since he joined the club, with limited funds, and it reflects badly on Mancini and Pellegrini. We're going to be in the limelight - we went from 7th to 2nd, which was a remarkable achievement. Our bench consisted of Aspas, Moses, Alberto and Aly Cissokho.

i didn't say it was all of you, i just said it happened so you don't be daft mate
i don't hate rodgers where have i said that? couldn't care less about him if i'm honest
not sure how it reflects badly on mancini or pellegrini, you will have to enlighten me.

all in all quite a mixed up response....mate

If you didn't mean for it as a dig about liverpool fans in general, why did you say 'you lot'?
You havent said that, my comments about Rodgers were in reply to other posts on here about him.
It does reflect badly on Mancini and Pellegrini that they both had tremendous amounts of money at their disposal, with a squad full of world class talent (all of which bought in previous seasons), yet almost failed to win the league on two occasions and done fuck all in Europe.

That is one of the most pathetic sentences I have ever read.

Hahaha, I was just about to quote and say exactly the same.

Funny as fuck.

"almost failed"

 

[moomba]

Hope we almost fail again.

Here we fucking go. Limited funds my arse. You've spent a pretty penny for a long while now.
Not our fault, most of it has been spent on shite. Note I said most and not all. So we know the decent ones.

It's the typical dipper syndrome of victim victim victim. It doesn't matter whether you boo our players or not, you defo were booing when Yaya got injured which was pure class from your lot. We won the league, you didn't. Your wait goes on. It doesn't really matter who was on your bench, you didn't have to use subs as you didn't have many injury issues and you only had the prem to worry about. Knocked out of all the cups within a couple of rounds.

You've spent a lot of money. It doesn't matter whether it is net or not. You've made decent cash on certain players then pissed it up the wall on Carroll, Downing etc. City did the same in the early days but we couldn't buy Aguero, Yaya, Silva from day one - we had to make smaller steps so Bellamy, Adebayor etc were more realistic targets. You have a decent first 11, nothing more. You over achieved last season thanks to form, fitness and lack of injuries/fewer fixtures. This season you have more games and less quality. Lallana, Lambert, Lovren etc are solid prem players but nothing more. Looking at who Saints bought to replace Lallana, they've got a pretty even match for less money.

Your bench still looks shite by the way. We could have had Mangala, Navas, Fernandinho, Aguero, Negredo sat on ours at the weekend.

And Moss Side is a bohemian paradise compared to dipperfield

Why do you insist on the whole 'victim' thing? It's not the first time I've seen this on this forum, as well as comments about Hillsborough. Your fans at Anfield last April were classy, but there's nothing classy about continually bringing Hillsborough up to further jokes about our team. Laugh all you want about last season, its a game of football. It's swings and roundabouts. I can take that. But comments about hillsborough are out of order.

Anyway. I agree we pissed a lot of money up the wall with previous regimes (Dalglish and Commoli in particular), but Rodgers is to be judged on his achievements from inheriting a team who deservedly came 7th. Thats what reflects badly on Mancini and Pellegrini - that Rodgers has been able to work wonders with our squad and come so close to Pellegrini's team. And of course we were limited with funds. The majority of funds that Rodgers has used have come from players sales. Yet he's been able to produce top-2 form for a season and a half. We had periods of time last season where our key players were injured - Sturridge and Gerrard for December and most of January, Suarez banned for 6 games, Sakho out for long periods of time. That's where squad depth comes in. Granted, we had less fixtures to contend with, but had an exceptionally small squad.
Our bench has improved an awful lot - with another striker to come in yet, but we're not going to have the depth that you have without your unlimited funds.
By the way, Lallana is a very good player. When you combine Goals and Assists from last season, he's only 1 behind David Silva (who I rate very highly, by the way). And that was for Southampton.
Haha, I think we both know that their both far from a paradise...

im guessing you dont even go?

 

[Rammyblues]

any win will do for me. :-)

GLASS HALF FULL OR EMPTY. SINCE MANCINI ARRIVED, WE HAVE BEEN TO WEMBLEY 7 TIMES, WON THE PREMIERSHIP TWICE, LEAGUE CUP AND A COMMUNITY SHIELD AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - ALL IN THE LAST THREE SEASONS. IF THAT IS 'FUCK ALL', THEN GOD HELP YOU WHEN WE ACTUALLY GET GOING............

 

[3rdgenerationblue]

never trust a scouse.
never fall for their lies.
same type of fans as the rags.

they can stick their candles up their arse.

this nonsense about being great knowledgable fans who respect other teams was there for all to see at the dump known as anfield a few months ago.
horrible bunch.
give em nothing.

this is our time.

Hey DeidreBarlow69, we aren't quite as adept as you lot when it comes to failing.

Oh, and we played 14 more competitive games than you lot last season. We also had our top player in Aguero out for 1/3rd of the season with two injuries and that in itself would probably have been worth at least another 10 goals+. keep in perspective bud. you over performed last season - but so did Crystal Palace. Let's see what rogers does with your £125m this window and probably more to come, along with extra games etc. Anything less than at least 1 title/cup will be abject failure for rogers
