Liverpool v Manchester City Match Thread

[Fabio]

Both sides have been completely nullified

I'd still rely on one of ours to fuck up though

 

[Oncy]

How we could do with a Coutinho right now. He'd be perfect for this match.

We need a midfield who can pivot and push forward from the centre.

Yeah or Messi like...

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

City are reading our game so easily. Each time we get the ball we try to hit it to the flanks and they have 2-3 players close us down immediately.

 

[Judge Jules]

...as we're doing to them.

 

[KopRed]

Hendo has done well to be fair.

 

[Judge Jules]

Close there. We've started this half quite well.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck, just couldn't get a foot on that ball. FFS! Great move leading to it.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

I reckon Salah will score either a fluke or a worldly

 

[Oncy]

Someone has to get a fucking shot in there

 

[Markeh]

Hit it!

 

[KopRed]

That was close.

 

[Mystic]

Fuck sake, Mane stopped Keita scoring there.

 

[Oncy]

Robertson sent for chips there

 

[FoxForceFive]

We did seem to press higher up around the 35th minute mark.
What's the rationale behind this approach?

I don't know, I just heard someone (poss TAA) mention it in a post match interview in pre season.

I assume it's to avoid burn out, like against sevilla for example, where we leave ourselves vulnerable having punched ourselves out early, & to manage energy levels throughout the season.

 

[KopRed]

Virgil has been immense, nothing gets past him.

 

[Oncy]

Get up Henderson you gaylaird

 

[Mystic]

Cuntguero.

 

[Markeh]

Do we also have an acting coach? That was very dramatic from Henderson

 

[Flipo]

That deserves a yellow Aguero.

 

[Oncy]

Could go either way this now.
Frantic 10 minutes

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

I think we gonna win 1-0

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'm debating switching the lamp on here.

 

[Judge Jules]

Needed doing IMO. They've been kicking us all ***** game and Atkinson as per usual has done bugger all about it.

 

[Shay_K]

Just seen the replay ... deserved card

 

[KopRed]

We are playing much better in this half.

 

[Oncy]

Paddy Power dont have odds on the player likely to fuck up and cost a goal.

Im backing Gomez

 

[FoxForceFive]

Robbo puts a long ball out for a corner. Rightly so probably.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Foul given. City want a handball. VVD was dragged back FFS.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Wini has been pretty awesome so far

 

[FoxForceFive]

Mahrez drags the shot wide. Let off that.
