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

Triple whammy as they can now bring players off to rest them for the league.

Agreed....but so should we. There's no point in us killing our players any more now. Take them off, youth on and just get it out of the way.

Hard to describe how bad that first half was, a million miles from our best.
We look totally lethargic and disinterested, shit goals to give away, they do look interested and they've taken their chances.
No complaints about the actual score really.Tbh was more pissed off we didn't win both lge games after battering them in both. Pep certainly does appear to have sacrificed this one, let's hope its worth it at the end ofvthe season!!!!!

He lost the ball & gave up although they're all poor that half.

But he had the ball, Grealish I can't remember a touch after he should have shot first time in the second minute.

Pep - this isn’t the charity shield ffs. You’ve clearly not learnt anything from the last 2 semis. Unfortunately we can’t blame Eric Garcia for this one.

I know the fucking factors that lead to this, it was unfuckingavoidable and maybe you were too blind to see it before. there was nothing we could have done, they've had the luck of the fucking draw against benfica, we've had too many players injured. simple as.

It’s a bunch of ‘professional’ players. We can’t use Liverpool’s easy run of fixtures for that utter dross.

Give your head a wobble.

if you thought before the match we weren't losing this you were delusional. no walker, no KDB and half the team too dead tired to play today. this is the price you pay for getting the harder draw in the CL

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Oh i dont know. Maybe to try and win?

A defeatist attitude from top to bottom for this game. Might as well have not bothered

 

[Chak19]

Arguably cos back then we didn’t know we’d have reached the European semi final and be 1 clear in the league needing to win our remaining games.

we fucked ourselves first by not buying a striker than selling Torres in the winter, it made our squad far weaker.

 

[Damanino]

make no mistake this is giving a big momentum for Liverpool for their last 7 PL games. mentally this is a great win for them. they wont care we are tired, rotated team etc. they probably rip us apart if they want to in second half and finish on 6-0.

Allison still to make a save as we created nothing. that is almost as bad as our defending which is non existent.
everytime Jesus, Sterling, Grealish, Foden had the ball they pretty much lost it. whats that?

Inevitable. Called it before the game after seeing the lineup.

5 changes at half time just go make them play until the end.
