Liverpool v Manchester City - Match Thread

[tomasjj]

Trent just let Raheem waltz past him.

 

[Modo]

Yep Klopp logic. Let's buy two CB's and bench them

I mean bench one and leave the other one out of the team completely.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

400 minutes, no goals at Anfield.

 

[Modo]

Main difference is that Man C attack us with pace we don't. We get to into their half and then stop, we're just too slow

 

[mwake]

Good initial block by Trent but then lets Sterling ghost past him. How many times have I watched Trent being ghosted/dribbled on route to the other team scoring. Not just Trent's fault (in this instance) but I wonder about Trent because Robertson rarely gets dribbled past with such regularity.

As I type that Trent up front chasing down city keeper...isn't it time to experiment with Trent in midfield and play Neco at RB?

Neco isn't better.

Think there’s been too much experimenting with our defence this season

.....zilch from midfield

 

[davud graham]

Looking forward to the attacking substitution in the 87th minute

 

[rurikbird]

You don't think he's losing the ball too much?

My stream is unstable, so it's entirely possible that I might have missed something. But in the moments I saw, his passing and decision-making were top-notch.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

LETS WIN THIS PLEASE.
Can't let Pep get a win here that fucking piece of "Man City is a challenge" cunt of a manager.

 

[Farkmaster]

Looking forward to the attacking substitution in the 87th minute

Yeah, I can't believe his hasn't put our proven goal scorer on from the bench. Or that phenomenal attacking midfielder that's languishing there.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

NEED HENDO IN THE MIDDLE

 

[darkstarexodus]

So close from Jones. Has been our best player by far.

 

[Red Mullet]

.....zilch from midfield

A midfielder just had a shot

 

[Modo]

.....zilch from midfield

Precisely

 

[Shay_K]

Bout time ..something from Jones

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Jones should be starting every game the rest of the season - shown more in this game than Thiago.

 

[Modo]

It's these types of games where I miss having a player like Gerrard in midfield.
Boom top corner.

 

[Shadey]

Get Phillips on for Thiago then get Henderson in midfield.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

we're not scoring this game, are we?

 

[mwake]

Neco isn't better.

Every time I've seen Neco he's more WanBassaka like, someone who is more likely to be better at preventing being dribbled past rather than setting up attacks. Hes definitely looked better at that part of the game than Trent to me. I'm not saying even replace Trent full-time, but maybe Neco (in the future) get more game time so we can have more flexible defensive tactics.

Just as I type Robertson shows expertly how to shut down a dribble, I rarely feel like that with Trent...

 

[Shadey]

Penalty to Liverpool

 

[Bradley]

Yep, time to make some changes.

 

[The Nomad]

In seasons gone by that's a red..

 

[darkstarexodus]

Yes.

 

[MaBigTip]

I just want it to be next season already with VVD healthy again. I miss him dearly.

 

[mwake]

Isn't that a red card?

 

[Shay_K]

PEN .....FOR US

 

[Judge Jules]

Why is Diaz still on the pitch?
