Mentality was wrong for all but 10 minutes of the match, we didn't bother passing and barely troubled Reina other than that 10 minutes. The lineup was OK and the Tevez sub was good, but in the long run if the defence lost concentration (as they've done many times this season) I don't think you can exempt from blame the person who bought 3 of them.

the Bolton v Blackburn game tomorrow.
Totally inaccurate! some excellent moves today, we were away at Anfield you know!
Agree about Zab switching off but Ned really should have cleared it out of the box when he had the chance.
All in all a decent performance and yet again i'm at a loss to understand the negativity on this board, it's fooking unbelievable!

It wasn't long ago that any City fan complaining about a draw at Anfield would have been carted off somewhere by men in white coats. Rejoice, you buggers.
It's the same whenever we don't turn the opposition over by a cricket score. It's staggering reading some of the posts on here today.bluemoon1078 said:mancity5 said:Yes. Well done MH I love long ball football. In fact I can't wait for

Before the season someone on here told me Hughes would have changed my opinion of him by Christmas - they were right, my opinion of him has actually gone down. I didn't think that was possible.
Today is only a good point out of context with what has gone before it, and today, if we had a manager with any balls, we would have taken apart the worst Liverpool side I have seen in a long time.
We waited until we went a goal down to realise that we were easily their match.
I don't think there is much wrong with the team, and accept that they are Hughes' players, but he is just far, far, far too negative for me. The players only seem to express themselves when we are behind and they are given the freedom to do what they do best - go forward. We are putting our own defence under too much pressure with the style of football we are employing.
Nigel is fucking awesome by the way. Should never be dropped while Barry remains in the side as he is much the better player (certainly at the moment).
I have no idea why we are persisting with this Hughes 'experiment' - will he, won't he be a top flight manager? Let's just get rid and get someone in who we already know can do the business. Let Hughes figure it out elsewhere.

100% percent agree with everything mate.saves me posting now!
Things have changed. Liverpool are going backwards and we are supposedly going forwards.Pam said:moomba said:To be honest I don't think anyone came out the match with any credit, maybe De Jong and Tevez.
