Match Thread | Manchester City vs Liverpool (21/11/15)

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Set up against a high pressing, hardworking Liverpool side with a 2 man midfield and Demichelis. Alright Manuel.

Delph & Fernandinho coming on at ht based on the warm up they are doing on the pitch

Apparently I was negative for saying we'd draw pre-match. Guess I was optimistic. What a load of shit. Even 5 yard passes are too difficult for us. Liverpool press high, so we play our back 4 that has the worst passing ability on average? Wow. Fuck this.

 

[Chippy_boy]

It's not rocket science is it. Demichelis and Magala at the back against a quick and mobile Liverpool front three. And Yaya in a midfield two.

If you TRIED to set us up to get reamed, that's what you'd pick.

He's an absolute fucking idiot.

Mangala is not there mentally, De Bruyne is off his usual rhythm, Yaya is strolling around in midfield, and Sterling isn't tracking back to protect Kolarov.

We have been generally a shambles but things can be improved for half time.

 

[Blue Smarties]

I'm sure we've had similarly poor 45 minutes before (a few in Europe spring to mind), but I'm struggling to remember a chasing at home like that first 30 minutes or so. Fucking gruesome.

It's a disgrace. Stupid team selection.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Dino for Navas, push Yaya forward.

Yaya needs to go forward straight down the tunnel and get Dinho on.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

well he best change that setup because the midfield was basically non-existent

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Send Pellers back to his engneering school. Obiviousl he failed his exams.... Even the butcher on the corner could pick a better team/tactic/formation today ..... #CLUELESS

Get Shatov on!

It's our only hope of getting a result ;-)
