Match Thread | Man City vs Liverpool (01/04/23)

We're by far the better team. Playing against 12 men too.

Its a tough one that, I think Rodri could have had a second yellow as well tbh

BT are more anti-city than man utd fans.

My username twitches everytime were on BT.

Dodgy decisions against us feel amplified.

TBF to him, Dias steps up into no-mans land trying to play the offside trap leaving Akanji a bit out to dry... but I agree he's been poor.

Maybe I’m being a little unfair on him for the goal, because I actually think we pressed really poorly in that action. That being said, I still can’t get my head around dropping Walker and shunting Stones to RB to play Akanji. Especially against a side where Walkers attributes could be key.

Some muppet had been screaming “take him off” since kickoff.

He’s not wrong

see them getting another on the break. We need 3

Akanji has played well!

We are the better team here but really need to start making it count.
We are winning countless loose ball and overturning possession only to fail to find a blue shirt with either our first pass or the interception itself.
We are being caught offside by players slow to react.

Step it up a notch City. We are better than them.

I’d love to know what LaPorte has done because there’s zero reason he shouldn’t be starting over Akanji. The disparity in quality is palpable

I feel that laporte is too much on the ball-playing side and not enough actual defending. As in if you want a CB to play the possession game well and look good on the ball then he's your man, but in tough, situations where you really need to defend then sometimes he can be lacking.

we need much more from Gundo, Mahrez, imo they were piss poor most of the time, we have no Fooden, no Haaland, others have to put in extra performance

not much on bench we can bring on and change the game. Pep also wont change until 89th, so Mahrey, Gundo, KDB need to turn up the tempo.

defensively we were all over the place few times, Akanji having mediocre game
