Don't think that's true actually. He always says he's a Liverpool fan and tonight he's slating Pep
We best watch out for a revenge attack when all 10 City fans going the return leg get a bit angry.
Just seen on BT sport .. everyone missed it..100% pen..no contact with ball when sterling got taken down plus a handball.
Their Arab Overlords will be handing out blue flares and sheets of laminated paper cue cards with the words 'SCOUSE CUNTS!' Written on them
No. No. It was a pen. Say it was a pen. It makes it even funnier.
Our full backs were amazing.
TAA must be on top of the world after his recent weeks
TAA must be on top of the world after his recent weeks
All the number 17 bus drivers are looking at those clips and thinking "gang of moaning shithouse fucking pussys".
I've told Sunny selfie sticks are for fucking wools.
Jesus totally missing tonight. Not been seen since Easter Sunday
OOTers won't get this!
"A few fucking cans? Try putting up with Doris and Mary when they're fucking going on and on and on and on that the driver before me didn't stop".
The stars must be aligning. That thick prick Moreno came on and we didn't concede.
But what about the Premier League?
Told all you moaning shitting yourself pussies we were going to be alright. ALL the big European teams are looking good to go through.
Footy365's 16 conclusions:
[article]* That said, we must reflect on a job very badly done from Manchester City. As with Liverpool at their worst, there is a suspicion that if you get into the faces of this City defence then you can rattle and unnerve it, and one goal can bring two or even three. Liverpool showed exactly as much at Anfield in the league fixture. This time the late response wasn’t even forthcoming.
Three of the four defenders were dreadful, Gabriel Jesus was entirely anonymous and even Kevin de Bruyne misplaced passes. Leroy Sane picked a bad time to produce his worst performance of the season. And the manager got it wrong too…[/article]
[article]* Guardiola is not a man who makes many high-profile mistakes, but here was one and it really might make a difference to Manchester City’s season. The decision to start Ilkay Gundogan over Raheem Sterling, playing De Bruyne higher up the pitch and Gundogan on the right of the midfield three, was made to give City stability in midfield. But it backfired spectacularly.
Gundogan is a fine player, but he was wrong for this strategy. As a central midfielder, Gundogan inevitably drifted into central areas both with and without the ball. That wasn’t an issue when in possession, but as soon as Liverpool got the ball, Andrew Robertson surged forward and created an overlap on Kyle Walker. Gundogan was the defensive jack of all trades, marking space rather than tracking Robertson.
It is not the first time Guardiola has made this mistake. As the Independent’s Jack Pitt-Brooke noted before the game, he also picked the same midfield four in the League Cup final. Then, it took the substitution of Fernandinho and introduction of Bernardo Silva that changed the game, City moving into a 4-3-3. This time, the same move came too late and did not bear fruit.[/article]
[article]There are two reasonable explanations for City’s sloppiness and lethargy:
1) They were genuinely surprised by Liverpool’s energy. That’s hardly an excuse given that they were spooked in the same manner by this team at this ground this season.
2) They have become so complacent at being given time and space on the ball by teams who are psychologically beaten before kick-off that they have simply not been harried or hassled in months and so are not used to playing this way. Which begs the (naughty) question: Did Everton butter Manchester City up for Liverpool? Sam Allardyce will take his thank you card now.[/article]
[article]* But the final word can only go to the only Scouser in Liverpool’s team, and a young man who is is somehow taking every astonishingly large leap forward in his stride.
It looked like the most obvious mismatch on the pitch, the Premier League’s best out-and-out winger against a raw 19-year-old full-back who was only six when Liverpool won the Champions League in Istanbul. Alexander-Arnold has displayed mistakes in each of his recent games. They are to expected, of course, but these are not the times for errors. Marcus Rashford proved that to him.
In the end, it was indeed a mismatch. Alexander-Arnold was faultless, nullifying the threat of Sane, playing balls down the channel for Salah and even getting forward himself as the situation allowed. No Liverpool player won possession more times, none had more touches and none made more passes. Shrinking from the occasion? Not a bloody bit of it. Going in with caution? No chance.
This was the biggest night of Alexander-Arnold’s career by a million miles. There were thousands in the stands who could not bear to look due to nerves, and yet a 19-year-old lad from West Derby was the most assured player on the pitch. Klopp is making him a star.[/article]

Bit disappointed my 8-0 prediction didn't come through though ...
The refs have been very good in the CL games we have been involved in so far. There are hardly any major incidents/unjust/blinkered ruling throughout.
Can't say the same of the EPL batch.
Shit post. As fucking usual. Are you a Liverpool supporter? Guardiola didn't credit the ref with the Liverpool victory so why should you?
That escalated quickly...
I think he meant that the ref was good as he got most decisions correct for either side and let the game flow.
Or am I missing something?
