Match Thread | Liverpool vs Man City (10/11/19)

[Gazza]

THIS GAME HINGED ON VAR NOT HAVING THE BALLS TO AWARD A CITY PENALTY AND REMOVE A LIVERPOOL GOAL ALL IN THE SAME PLAY.

Showed itself for what it is....BENT AND COWARDLY.

It's like someone said earlier in the thread - Liverpool's first goal had handball in the build up.

Give over you fucking ponsey twat.

Take our chances and this game was on. Horrendous decisions against us but the fact remains we waste chance after chance.

balls out for mbappe

Liverpool well equipped to counter us, using the space behind the fullbacks on the counter, spacing their defenders and midfield out to make it hard for our tired players to press, and generally being pretty confident moving through our midfield. Too easy for them to exploit the weaknesses of Bravo, Angelino (and sadly) Walker.

KDB and Aguero not great. Disappointed by Gundogan, once again showing he's neither truly incisive in attacking situations or capable / committed off the ball... not a player particularly suited to the PL IMHO and just makes us look more and more like we need leadership in the centre, because people like Stones and Sterling are all capable of being a bit 'weak', slowing down mentally, looking a bit short of adrenaline and aggression.

Also, it's my opinion that we've played too long on autopilot in attack. The play in tight spaces can be breathtaking but too often players miss each other in more fluid situations completely missing with passes. I think it explains partly how wasteful we are. It often looks like everyone is just a bit unnatural. Today, there was too much emphasis on getting the cross in as the primary attack against a team like this.

Silly thing is, at the end of the season, we'll either say Pool have been riding their luck recently, or building an unbeatable habit of winning regardless. They probably look better against us than they are. City can still beat everyone else, week in, week out. Only needs a few goals not to go in for them, and we will still walk away with the league.

Was Jesus the only sub?

 

[Heath Park]

That was quite unpleasant viewing.

 

[hertsblue]

We all know our defence is crap but 3 shots on target from 18 and absolute awful schoolboy stuff from Corners is just a big of an issue. See also opposition has more than double the fouls made yet we are the only team with a card

Gonna swerve post match

With injuries and geting stitched up they did their best

Gundy and juliet go now
Gabby learn the fucking offside rule

 

[Blu1]

Jesus, stones, gundy offer this team zero. Sorry like playing with 10/9 men.

pep why why why did you not bring Mahrez & foden on. I just don’t understand peps decisions this year
