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

[remember arthur mann]

Rhyl ?

Pressthatin.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Opposition:

Everyone behind the ball, Sit deep and let City move the ball from side to side.

Take advantage of them being sloppy on the ball in their own half of the field and punish them.

Rinse and Repeat.

 

[Keeper!]

I’m hoping Kev is intentionally taking one for the team here, making the club realise how much we really really need to buy Wirtz.

I’m also hoping me posting this will ultimately be thrown back at me after he hits a second half screamer and 2 assists.

lol this has to be a wind up?

He's done and has been for 18 months, crazy that people still think he is some god like figure.

He was a great that has aged and is no longer elite

 

[RiversideBlue]

I have a feeling there's going to be plenty out of the door in the Summer, both ones who want to leave and ones that don't.

Is that the players or some of the plastics on this thread?

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Gvardiol’s defensive shortcomings get overlooked a lot on here. If he’s our future CB, we’re in a lot of trouble.

Agreed. Not a defender.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

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.

And annoyingly MCAllister was available 2 years ago. He would have settled well with his world Cup winning mate Joolian.

Honestly the recruitment has been dross. I like Omar and Khusanov has potential. Where the hell are we going to find the next Kyle, Kevin, Merlin, Vinny, Kun, Dinho??? I am seriously worried for the future of the team.

 

[pbueno16]

No it's not. He's anonymous for 90% of games. Vastly overrated by overbiased fans.

Too comfortable at City, he needs a new challenge under another coach. Just like Rashford.

That's on the manager continuing to play him tbf. Good few others who actually try who aren't even considered to play.

 

[Phoenix900000]

We need to. Some great servants may well be off. It won't be an overnight fix but hopefully we are closer next season.

Definitely not a quick fix you're right. Just need to get the right players and we will be fine

 

[madloaf]

Who is in midfield helpibg gonzalez

Absolutely no one. Remember when de bruyne and foden used to play in midfield?

 

[Gazza]

Rico trying hard but not good enough ultimately fucking about with the ball that led to the corner. Liverpool track with pace and power and we do not do that,2 shots 2 goals let’s see our goals to shots at the end of the game

Can't divide by nought.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Apart from our offside goal we have created fuck all. The dippers are letting us have the ball and just defending in numbers ready to hit us on the break.

Stranger things have happened but I can’t see us getting anything out of this game.

How bad are some of our corners too?

 

[Mancity1980]

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

There is a Welsh village called “A”(pronounced "ah"). It is a village located in the county of Flintshire. There is also one called "Y" (also pronounced "ee"), which is a small village in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Which one?

 

[OntarioBlue]

No changes

 

[ancoats]

Liverpool has had the easiest half of the season, The City players are at a walking pace and toothless and Liverpool are just sitting in and waiting for City to cough up the ball and we have many times

 

[christened at st marks]

Kev gets the ball you get excited and nothing it's just sad

 

[Bluewars II]

A few more defeats and performances like this and he will walk

Why would he walk if the players are behind him and he's getting a new squad in summer?

Right Answers only...

 

[Keeper!]

Gvardiol’s defensive shortcomings get overlooked a lot on here. If he’s our future CB, we’re in a lot of trouble.

And why we bought two CB's in January and probably another in the summer

 

[city2]

Foden Kev and Lewis off for me ,

 

[hertsblue]

this Foden is not a footballer, where has he gone?

Won the award, think he’s made it, given up effort wise.
Needs benching for a period to give him a dose of reality.
I’d actually stop picking players who won’t be here next season, love to see youth given a chance

 

[heslops barnet]

Does Pep just think everything will magically sort itself out? Same problems again and again and again. He's as useless as that shower of shite on the pitch

No argument from me…..Pep seemed to have gone on the back foot at press conferences which doesn’t inspire the players or the fans….

Reckon he’s just burnt out as was Klipperty and Pep has been at the top shite lot longer
