It’s a shame we didn’t score. I think the system took them by surprise, they will adjust for this second half.

Semenyo is my only negative.

Biggest mistake Pep can do in second half - bring on Foden as sub.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

The city commentary sounds quite positive apart from a yellow not given for a pull on O'Reilly.

 

[willipp]

Good half but need a goal. Semenyos touch at times is fucking horrible.

You think he's been good?

 

[wolviedinho]

Bernardo Silva killing every attack. Semenyo's passing has been poor. Haaland needs to do more. The rest of them. Superb.

Bernie keeping the show going mate. Without his control we dead.

Lescott always strikes me as a bit of a tit.

Definitely ..................

Can’t be any worse than Semenyo was in that first half.

 

[Damanino]

yep Cherki need to come on soon. we could give them trouble if he ca ping some passes both left and right stretching their defense. Kerkez can move inside a bit ow knowing we offer no threat on right. while Ait Nouri tries some runs on left, Nunes in return switches inside like forming a back three with the CBs in possession leaving right side very much empty and leaving dippers with nothing to worry from that side.

some of the shots we had was very poor quality, that Haaland miss in 2nd min, Semenyo long shot out of stadium and Marmoush not even on target from the offside chance all very poor.
Rodri, OReilly should fancy a long shot.

Salah goes down quicker than Bonnie Blue !!!

He's been superb, but I wish he'd just give the ball to someone else in a dangerous area instead of running down a dark alley and slowing the game down. Been 3-4 times we could have been through if he had fired the ball into someone else.

 

[Gordyola]

Lee Dixon to be fair has made a good analysis about Semenyu. Really weird tactics from Pep. Doubt any other coach would think about putting a big natural winger in the middle.

He was a centre forward before being converted at Bournemouth

The dreaded second half coming up....

It stuporball weekend, we'll call it 3rd & 4th quarters and hope for a result.

 

[I'm Blue]

Hopefully we swapped the dippers inhalers for laughing gas at half time.

I’m hoping someone has swapped our ketamine for speed for the second half.

 

[jimharri]

In fairness he was blinded by the light after coming out of Van Dicks pocket :-)

I hope he's revved up like a deuce, and not just another runner in the night.

 

[Earlyriser]

One might expect Liverpool to come straight at us at the start of the 2nd half so we need maximum concentration and no messing around at the back

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I feel like there's going to be a story about Haaland playing through the winter with an injury planted in the media near the end of the season. Not saying it’s legit or not, but he's definitely not all there.

A lot on his shoulders going into the World Cup for Norway, it’s definitely playing its part

 

[Blue and true]

The Haaland of old would have smashed that chance into the corner of the net without thinking. Looks completely deflated.

Been the better team, if we don't make it pay we've only ourselves to blame.

Semenyo needs to be closer to goal where he's more effective.

Yeah definitely
