Match Thread | Liverpool vs Man City (13/04/14)

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

This booing just shows the dippers for the arrogant cunts that they are. Incidentally, will there be as much respect shown on the 30th Anniversary of Heysel next year? Oh wait.

bump - I think they just light a solitary candle fucking double standards or what

Absolutely. The major difference too is that the people in Heysel lost their lives due to Liverpool fans' violence for which many were convicted of manslaughter. Hillsborough was a tragic accident.

Truly shocking.Nasri might as well be with me on our fucking settee along with most of the other midfielders and Dzeko.
Silva facing an uphill struggle as Dzeko clearly hasn`t got the stomach for it.I`ve said it before but The Beast should have started as he would certainly have made life more uncomfortable for the dippers back four.

Maybe, but Negredo has been in horrific form of late. Would you trust him to take a one on one at the moment? Even that's optimistic, in the games he's started he's barely even got on the ball. Dzeko has been a bit better and I think you have to go with the form player.

Gotta have Aguero on if he's not fit why is he on the bench.

Nasri off Aguero on

This.

the question is, how many minutes has Aguero got in him?

 

[Bez]

45 mins and hope to see some heroic performances from city. We can do it. Liverpool will tire. We beat QPR against the odds. Let's do it again.

 

[themachine]

Can someone tell me why Jovetic isn't on the bench? Both he and Aguero could make a difference.

 

[Troubadour]

As a defence we are shambolic.
At the back we have been embarrassing so far.

We`re under that much pressuure because the fucking midfielders aren`t helping out !!!

That's why Milner should have started without a doubt.
Highly predictable though unfortunately.

 

[Bpughh]

they've hit us hard on the counter but look how much energy they're wasting. we'll dominate last 30 without a doubt. hold off on the aguero sub for at least 10 or 15 to make sure he hurts their tired legs. No more goals conceded and we'll win this 2-3

Navas and Nasri go missing in big away games. They have done today. Toure going off killed us for 10-15 mins and they doubled their lead.

Clichy was the right choice but his confidence was shot after the first goal.

Basically set the tone for the rest of the half.

Unlike in 2011, we've had the odd chance at the end and reminded them of our potential.

RED CARD TO COME.

 

[Eaglechief]

We may have improved towards the end, but the half time break will give the bin dippers a good rest too, so they will come out fresh again.

I can't see us turning this round, the game is now more about damage limitation now. We could easily have been 4-0 down already.

I'm afraid Pelligrini has definitely shown he is not the man to take us to another league title, he just hasn't got the tactical nouse for the big games.

Dunno if I'm being hypercritical or not, but I always think Pellegrini looks like a rabbit in the headlights in these situations. Always looks impotent. Fair play to Liverpool so far, they've played really well. We've not turned up yet but got better towards the end of the half. As others have already mentioned I'd hook Navas for Milner. In fact, I was gobsmacked Milner didn't start for Navas. Given how Liverpool play I thought it madness starting off with Navas, Silva and Nasri.

Also, how no one has gone through Sterling yet and took a yellow for the team is beyond me. I'd also be going after Suarez seeing as he's on a yellow already. Then again, it's probably as well I'm neither a player or a manager :)
