Pre Match Man City (H) - Sun 15:45

[Mystic]

Good point, that

It frustrates me so much, so many times I think he's through but he has to slow down and hook the ball forward from behind, he's good at it tbf, but still.

 

[darkstarexodus]

I dunno if it's something to do with the way he runs, or no ones capable of passing to him correctly, but I've never seen a player receive the ball played behind them as much as Diaz does.

Yes, this. Every ball at him results in a check back into a blind alley.

 

[gene hughes]

Gomez with the lofted pass to … Elliot.

 

[SummerOnions]

Wow. Bradley shoulda shot, surely. Great by Szobo though

 

[KopRed]

Yes, this. Every ball at him results in a check back into a blind alley.

He can't cross, even when he beats the defender he doesn't have a final ball. Defenders have figured him out by now.

 

[SummerOnions]

Rodri booking is handy handy news

 

[Mystic]

Shoot Bradley ARGH.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Bradley needed to play that first time. Smart ball from Szobo but a touch too many.

We're not playing bad, all things considered. Just a touch slow in the final third.

 

[rubans]

Trent hits those two from the right. He has to…

 

[Shadey]

Fear not anyway lads if we don't win this game Michael Edwards is gonna sell Diaz for £500mil and sign Vini Jr in return for a bag of scampi fries

Source?

 

[SummerOnions]

I wonder what kind of rocket Klopp can conjure up, here

 

[Markeh]

Decent half apart from that fucking cheap goal

 

[Shay_K]

...

Source?

Tayto of Coolock

 

[Bradley]

Statement 2nd half it is then.

 

[gene hughes]

Our best team would beat these guys.

 

[Bradley]

Which we have done on many occasions this season.

 

[Mystic]

Shame, shocking first ten minutes, but i dont buy this commentary rhetoric that City are playing much better, it's a very even game separated by a clever set piece goal. I fear City will speed up their play and take control in the second half though.

 

[Frogfish]

This team is doing far better than I thought they would. Not a player letting us down. Should be level, poor header Dom, poor shot Diaz and Bradley should have shot. Hopefully Mo. comes on at 55-60 mins and we can get away with a draw (I don't want to tempt fate with any other forecast).

 

[Mystic]

We have to hope on the Salah factor, although Elliott has been very good imo. City have a real fear of Salah, hopefully him coming on will affect them.

 

[Frogfish]

Our best team would beat these guys.

It is beyond frustrating. City get to play their best team in the match of the season and we are missing 4-5 first teamers.

 

[Shay_K]

Mo against Ake 2nd half

 

[Athens]

City are a team of sucken cunts. @Bradley agrees.

 

[Frogfish]

Mo against Ake 2nd half

Bradley is doing really well actually - at both ends. Endo has been ace too.

 

[TheRedCrusade]

Shame, shocking first ten minutes, but i dont buy this commentary rhetoric that City are playing much better, it's a very even game separated by a clever set piece goal. I fear City will speed up their play and take control in the second half though.

yeah absolutely even game I think. Commentators are dumb as cowdung in their brain, i fucking ignore them.

Salah need to be ON and we should be fine.

 

[localny]

this is our season lads. Right here. A point suddenly seems decent. Keeps us in the race. If you think Arse ain’t beating city at Ethiad

 

[Frogfish]

yeah absolutely even game I think. Commentators are dumb as cowdung in their brain, i fucking ignore them.

Salah need to be ON and we should be fine.

Yeah in the studio it's different with everyone seemingly in agreement we've been really good.

 

[TheRedCrusade]

Endo has been great, Maca next and I will say Szobo has slowly grown into the game. We should not allow city to to take control of the game in second half. As soon as we score in the second half, City are going to shit their pants.

 

[Hansern]

I really dont like it when we play against the Kop in the first half. Its usually not a good sign.
Big 2nd half needed.

Gomez and Elliott to Robbo and Salah, please.

 

[Raz]

Love to see Salah start the 2nd half and not when we are chasing 2 goals. Maybe Robbo too.

 

[TheRedCrusade]

Yeah in the studio it's different with everyone seemingly in agreement we've been really good.

true, compared to expectation with the team that we have started, I think we have done great. I am 100% sure Klopp will relay the same message, just the last pass and a bit of belief to finish. I am sure Klopp will sort it out.
