Match Thread | Man City vs Liverpool FA Cup (16/04/22)

[blue by birth]

Definitely not all 3. It's Ederson, he doesn't save that many.

Yet he wins the golden gloves regularly..
Steffan isn't good enough.. Decent enough but not top class.. Makes it impossible to play our usual game with his passing being iffy

 

[SWP's back]

We didn't? Did we?

We did.

Linekar now sticking his oar in over minutes silence stopped due to chanting from City end ?
it’s usually people in the concourses making noise in those situations, unaware of what’s happening

Should have just thrown the 3rd round game

Pisses me off every time pundits say we have a cheat squad with two full teams that could win the league. We do t have that much depth really and circumstances meant that Liverpool were always going to muller us today. Deep down I think we all knew that. There’s no chance that we could be away versus them at home, us kicked by Atletico versus them being able to rest players for their bye to next round, us getting injuries and them getting none… and us not losing by 3, 4 or more. It’s probably been even worse than we could have expected though, so 5+ can’t be ruled out and that’s when it gets into the territory where it can impact the league.

Not important game. Move on. We must focus on the league and ucl.

This game is, obviously, a write-off. Now we have to really dig deep to keep the league and the CL alive because we haven't played well for quite a while now and that CL draw was always a disaster. If Pep is bringing on subs I hope it's the youngsters to give them a taste of Wembley.

Midfield needs some attention in the Summer. We needcan enforcer, we're being outfought for every ball and looking very feeble.

The drop off when we remove our spine is huge,we suddenly become a mid table team at best.
We have no ability to drive forward and we have no ability to hold up the ball or cause defenders trouble.

We need a striker,maybe 2,a genuine pacey fearless winger,an enforcer,and at least 1 full back.Our squad depth is a myth.

Tell you what though.

There's some right cunts in here isn't there.

How the fuck you coped 20 years ago I'll never know.

 

[BlueRhubarb]

Time we got a new number 2. You can’t be soft at this level and pep has let his emotions pick the team. The only good thing to come from this is that we can now see who has either lost the fight or is not good enough moving forward.

Or who is currently physically or mentally knackered!

 

[chesterbells]

So do I, I hope he’s that fucking mad he rips his own head off and throws it at them.

Haha
