Tyler "Wednesday night ......... Wednesday night.....Liverpool..........Liverpool".

Getting tedious now.

The real Trophy.... majority of fans would take every season if they had to choose one, is all that matters now. Becoming back to back Champions for the second time in 5 Years.

Someone needs to remind Tyler Liverpool could still potentially finish the season with just the Carabao Cup.

Finishing Champions League as Semi finalists is hardly failure from a financial perspective.

Remember when Liverpool went out in the QF last year to Real Madrid and they wouldn't stop going on about it... No?

This defensive injury situation is getting ridiculous. What's wrong with Ake coming on?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

He scares everyone till it's a top 6 side who figure out he is a one trick pony, control him 1v1 and that's that. He can't really pass well, create or shoot well.

Hmmmm - think you do him an injustice slightly.
Keeps it well
Finds space well
Closes down well
And frightening pace.

Thankfully can't comment on his finishing- hope it stays that way.

On the bbc

Adam: I don't think the end of this season can come any quicker for City. They are ahead, but look tired and are lacking confidence.

People did watch us handle Real Madrid for 179 minutes right? It was a fluke, a fucking mental 2 minutes. We didn't get battered, we outplayed them. But shit happens in cup football.

The concern is that the BBC editor probably selected that out of dozens to make a narrative.

I’d like to see Palmer introduced if we grab a third.

I'd bring him on now because he's likely to score the third.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Clean sheet please. The rest will take care of itself.

 

[lonestay]

No seriously what happened weds night ?

 

[Claytop]

Why would Fernandinho come on instead of Ake?

 

[Keeper!]

Was that tackle on Grealish referred to VAR?

for what?

he got a yellow card

Think Diaz did his hamstring :(

Noticed near the end if the first half he headed a newcastle long ball to the side then pulled up/left it.
