Match Thread | Liverpool vs Man City (30/07/22) - Community Shield

[Newman Noggs]

Not as bad as I feared. One or two players look undercooked. Kev said he took 3 weeks off for the first time since he joined City and it shows but we should benefit from that later in the season.

It may be my imagination but I sense that some is being forced to get the ball to Haaland rather than just playing our normal game.

They were exploiting our fullbacks early in the game but that's easy enough to sort out.

We'll be fine when we get up to speed.
The tramps are about 2 matches more fitter than us.

Add to that we are slow starters.

No biggie. Flappers flap away, rival fans post your crap, JCL's give us your 10 years a fan verdict.

I’m sorry. I hate coming on to the match thread to be negative, but I have to vent. Over the summer I decided to start a fresh with my perception of Mahrez. The Madrid match last season where he didn’t square it to Phil for the tap in was unforgivable for me. But today has just reiterated that he is just too fucking greedy for this team. I must be wrong, as Pep wouldn’t be playing him if he was, but from what I see he just slows everything down, doesn’t pass and ultimately loses the ball.

He’s technically brilliant, but fuck me get your head up and pass the fucking ball.

Losing this and 13th in the league

Pep out

 

[RandomJ]

There you go. Haaland making the runs and being ignored.

 

[BolinCell]

Should of sold Mahre

Mahrez is going to have to be sat down and it explained to him, that we have a striker now and cutting inside all the time robs said striker of space and options , get the ball across the box that's what Haaland wants and needs .

Mahrez wont change. He's been greedy from the day he arrived at the club.

Salad constantly has 10m of space to the nearest defender

The match day thread is back with a bang.

We have shit players and Liverpool pool are the best. How many league titles do they have? That’s right 1 covid cup. The lack of faith in this team and pep is ridiculous.

Covid Cup? Sorry, but that sounds really stupid and they had the league wrapped up very early that season

 

[Rammy Blue]

Mahrez not cut out for a game like this.

Bernie too deep, not a fan of him picking up ball from defenders as Rodders is too stationary in front of him.

Jack doing same as last season, again needs a left footed full back going outside.

Ake looked ropey.

Get Phil on would be a decent start.

for me the PED's rush was visibly fading in the 2nd half of that half - I think Pep will give them a natter and we will win 2nd half
