Match Thread | Man City vs. Liverpool (23/02/25)

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Or at least fucking dived….FFS

Unsighted by the defender.

 

[01cravend]

Kev is fully finished

Phil shite at false 9

Gvardiol can't defend

Rico just a mess

Ederson sloth shot stopper.

Pepball outdated

 

[Brewster's millions]

They look well organised and look like a team. We don’t.

Gifted them a goal lead and other than Doku and Savinho doing something individually, we can’t sustain any pressure on them.

De Bruyne and Gonzalez have been really poor in midfield. They should both be hooked at halftime.

We’ve been crying out for a mobile midfielder all season and I’m afraid Gonzalez isn’t that. He’s slow.

Another 50mn on a second rate midfielder after 100mn on Phillips and Nunes. If anyone wonders why we’re struggling, it’s because we aren’t buying quality midfielders anymore.

 

[deano ou812]

For the 2nd goal Szobozlai was deemed to be 'not interfering with play' when he was initially offside although then was found by Salah and scored. How's that work out then?

Your guess is as good as mine,the whole thing is farcical..

 

[citymad]

Hats off to the dippers they’re in a different class and Slot has done amazingly well. No one will come close to challenging them this season.

 

[Stoned Rose]

They play in red. Keep up.

 

[eyalluvitt]

If we turn this one around I will get that famous Welsh railway station tattooed down the length of my man shaft

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Pep needs to make subs at half time to have any chance. Grealish and Bernardo on for Foden and Rico.

Watch KdB play the full 90 minutes. I mean, Pep wouldn't, would he?

 

[Mancity1980]

That’s literally everyone’s tactic against us now. It’s so fucking basic and yet we fall for it every week.

We have a soft underbelly, we know, everyone knows it.

 

[phargrave]

fuck off, where was Gvaridol, done like a kipper

Any other keeper would have at least made an effort! He’s got to be one of the worst shot stoppers in the league!

 

[heslops barnet]

We’re all calling Lewis shit, what do you think his team mates think of him?

 

[akrh215]

Not sure what people are wanting Foden to do ? Being asked to play a false 9 role against that back 2 and Mcallister hugging every time he moves. Yet we have Marmoush who is meant to be a striker yet cant play the role

Maybe as a start it would be good if the ball didn't bounce away from him 5 meters. And a little creativity wouldn't hurt either...

 

[pbueno16]

Really strange half. Doku has tore them to shreds but we have fuck all threat. Foden is not working up top

Konate is doing well to cover for Trent getting blown by every single time Doku goes at him and gets a cross off.

 

[remember arthur mann]

No defensive structure as usual.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Our defending for their second goal was laughably bad.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

How was the second not off side

Szobozlai who was offside didn't make a movement towards the ball. Salah was miles onside though.

Correct call.

 

[christened at st marks]

Khus Lewis Josko then I'm struggling, Doku and Savio do not track back Salah is ten years older and showing them what to do from wing play the rest are squad Ake may be carrying an injury starting to give up on Foden
Ederson clearly doesn't give a fuck

 

[Chak19]

We're battering them, they're scared of us.

We really didn't, they were happy to allow Doku to have a run at Tront and just stop every cross since there is no presence inside the box because of Pep's new genius idea of playing Foden upfront against two giants, we didn't create a single big chance.

 

[Father Paul]

We signed Marmoush for 59m as Haaland’s backup and yet he’s nowhere to be seen in our box. If we wanted to play false 9 I’d rather KDB be in there or just not on the pitch.

He already has a hattrick and had one chalked off today. Give the fucker a chance.

 

[wattle]

We’ve played ok but don’t look like scoring in a million years. Pep severely lacking in ideas this season. Then when he does have a good idea we scrap it instantly because it doesn’t fit in with his philosophy!! Still love him though. Just want this season to end
