A completely fit and fresh Foden and Sterling vs a Villa defence that play Thursday between now and thenI’m more then happy with pep. I think he’s the best manager ever. Doesn’t leave him open to errors and criticism though. No subs today was stupid. Makes the villa game tougher imo.
It’s funny what pressure does though.. they have to win really and they weren’t great yesterday .,Reckon both Salah and VVD play vs Southampton.......they have a chance to put us back under pressure...klopp said both injuries were not serious
Villa looked much worse in defence than West Ham but they are a threat up front.This.
Villa were awful, that's not through blue tinted specs, they were poor, very poor, in all departments.
In truth Liverpool weren't much better.
To be honest Im now glad we are going into this this knowing we have to win (Dippers winning midweek of course)Hopefully everyone has calmed down a bit.
Beat Villa and we win the league.
De Bruyne also ballsed up a penalty against Liverpool and that was only last season but people seem to forget about that.Showed a lot of character to come back from 2 down, and could’ve have had it won but for Zouma having the game of his life.
Terrible decision letting Mahrez take the pen, too obvious where he was going to put it, and ballsed it up in a big game against Liverpool. Why didn’t Kev grab hold of it? Always found ot strange that he’s not out Penalty taker.
on another note has Taylor ever given us a penalty without going to var?
I'm more than happy with the result when considering all the issues at the back. Our injuries are barely mentioned, unlike the media meltdown when Liverpool suffered the same problems and hopefully we will have a stronger line-up against Villa.You can see a cricket score here though..Ralf is too stubborn to change anything even when they are 3:0 down. Jesus definitely has the best attitude lately..really drives to make a difference.. we definitely need some steel next year...we are sleep walking because we are sooo vulnerable.. can we be confident without dias and walker..... love us to do it...but it will be very hard for this group of players. Need Bernie to act like its a liverpool or rags match.. we really need him to not have his mibd elsewhere v villa
Been saying that for ages if where 3 0 up he scores you need your big players in big moments Bottled simpleMahrez will always fit into the same category as Nasri for me. A great player on his day, excellent when the teams on top form.
But will always be remembered as a grade a bottle merchant.
I think we showed the exact opposite of Bottle Job to come back from 2 down and could have taken it but for a poor pen.The only thing that worries me is that we seem to have an element of a bottle-job in our team this season as we have seen in the cups. Mahrez late misses against Liverpool and West Ham today add to that feeling. From a realistic point of view the title should be ours though and I hope a vibrating Etihad will calm our nerves early on. (If needed as Liverpool have to find a win i Southampton first.)
I can't stop thinking about Gerrard having a chance to win them cunts the league.
