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

[Taylor]

Scoreline is a bit shit but thought City played some good stuff

Sadly no finish product

We have been on top, they have been more clinical. That's why they are top of the league.

We have conceded the same amount of goals as united. The defence is failing the team week in week out.

 

[oldius]

There's no way we should be 0-2 here, but we are too easy to score against. Doku and Savinho have huge potential. Kev looks lost...such a shame.

 

[Blue and true]

I just hope Pep can turn this around. It's no exaggeration to say we need at least six additions in the summer, he's then got to integrate those players and build another legacy team. I don't think he's got the energy or the time, but hopefully I'm proven wrong.

Foden is the new Rashford

How in the hell are you making that comparison? Rashford hasn't even hit half the level Foden has displayed in the past 4 seasons.

 

[deano ou812]

I actually think we haven’t been to bad dominated without getting a bit of luck and they’ve basically had 2 chances especially the first one,they are basically a team that plays for moments,the league doesn’t lie but honestly don’t think they are that great..

 

[Phoenix900000]

Doku has been City's best player

 

[TheBlueCat]

No justice in that score line

I’ve had a look, now I’m off for a beer.
This place is full of sad, childish, entitled know fuck alls. Apologies to those who make considered contributions..

What happened? He was about 4 yards offside.

I was guilty of looking at me fine! Saw it on the replay! Ta anyway ;-)

 

[akrh215]

Our defense was so poor on both goals. Hard to blame Eddy for that

Gvardiol was brutal soft....

 

[phargrave]

No justice in that score line

In Liverpools respect you mean…??

 

[Smithy77]

Lets be honest.its just about bedding in these new players from here on in. Get top four, see what happens in the fa cup.

Clear out the chaff and the players who do not want to stay... and get number one targets in the summer signed as a priority because that what will make nect season from being a transition to a title challenge

Pep knows and has admitted he tjought this group of players could go again, we are witnessing the fallout

A tweek in the tactics and style will also be on the cards as teams are now too savvy for the same methods

 

[Blue Bogey]

Doku has been superb

He has looked confident today and seems to be up for this game. Shame not all his team mates got the same memo.

 

[madloaf]

Man what was that Kev...

1st half thoughts, I think we have actually "played" good, just been undone on the counter, typical under Pep (even at our best this is how we concede).

Doku needs more end product, dribble after dribble but passes straight to them.

Kev off for McAtee, push McAtee to false 9, Foden a little deeper.

We have not played good. Football is about goals. And chances. And stopping goals and stopping chances. This tippy tappy bollocks in front of their two banks of four is not good.

 

[MMA]

Walking dead sat next to pep there...
Looks well up for it.
Not..

 

[jollylescott]

We have such a soft underbelly. There is just no grit and hardness in our defence. Liverpool drew away their last two away games to Everton (!) and Villa, which shows where we are at performance wise.

 

[robbieh]

Thought we played OK. They are just much better at defending.
Phil's first touch has deserted him and Kev just looks old.
Positives, Doku playing well, lots of effort from Lewis,and Khusanov looks the part.

 

[mattyads]

Don’t actually think we’ve played that badly. They’ve got that little bit of quality up front that we lack

That’s the most concerning part.

 

[Silva Citizen]

The only solace we can take is that it’s not a great Liverpool side. A good transfer window will put us ahead of this Premier League winning Liverpool team.

 

[kinggoat64]

Spot on

 

[BigJoe#1]

Are we fuck 'total dross'.

Get a grip.

Do you live in a fantasy world where your views are always correct?

You cannot defend this performance. The only player that has put in a committed effort is Doku, the rest..... crap.

When we're brilliant and untouchable I call it, so when we're shit...
