Match Thread | Liverpool vs Man City (07/02/21)

[lancs blue]

I’m still fuming over Coleman against Reading

So is Franny.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Here are the games I miss Aguero and Leroy the most. Big game players who give us a presence

Swap it around, Foden on the left, Sterling on the right, Mahrez through the centre. If that don't work, Jesus on.

 

[Mancity1980]

I dont know why people here are having a go at Mahrez, sterling when they have been doing what they can? Do we expect them to dribble past two or three all the time they receive the ball?? They are fine..

My problem is Foden is not good in holding the ball at all to start a counter attack. we need Jesus there...Maupay did that perfectly imo

Agreed, I think that might be a substitution at some point today.

They will score I have no doubt. Come on blues

 

[Blu1]

Honestly i don’t see what Mahrez offers, how does he start the 2nd half.

feel free to score now Mahrez

 

[bluemurray]

Yeah if a keeper saves a pen i’d feel less aggrieved but failing to hit the target is tragic

Precisely, a well struck penalty ought to be in the back of the net but, yes certainly, a good/lucky goalie might make a good save, but to miss the target completely - and by some feet - for me says something about a lack of 'bottle' - it surely can't be a lack of ability, these guys are among the best in the world?

 

[BlueLou82]

Come on City, play with a bit of purpose now. Game is there for the taking

 

[citymad]

The way our players address the ball on penalties is wrong. A standing penalty is often missed/saved. Step back 6 yards, run up and smash it in.

Short run ups hardly ever work unless your ballo of course.

You think playing no striker against a make shift back four is the decision? I don't wanna row with a fellow fan...but i am fan and all i can do is sit back and make comments...and mine are, were too passive because of the selection.

If only you were manager.

It’s the first half of a majorly tough away game.
