Manchester City v Liverpool - Match Thread

[Frogfish]

Keeper was well off his line for mane’s chance should have shot.

I really thought he was going to curl one over him ... he could still have run straight at him into the penalty box, it was a weird decision to make.

As was Gini's when we were 4 on 3, instead of feeding one of the forwards, all on runs, he dithered and went wide to TAA and back to Gini where it just fizzled out.

I really think another man in the actual middle instead of firmino as some half no.10 and we'd be strolling this.

Like Shaq?

 

[gkmacca]

We a fortunate to be going in on level terms...

Sorry, but we're not fortunate at all. We were the better side, they got a bad pen decision, they blew it, we could easily have had two more goals.

 

[Halmeister]

Level is about fair. We should've made the most of our chances, but they've missed a pen. Sterling missed a decent chance, too.

Gini has dithered a few times, seems scared to make a mistake in possession and as a result most of the attacks he's been involved in have stuttered and lost momentum. Such a pity Tiago wasn't fit enough to play.

I'd like Shaq on at some point. Only risk is do we believe he'd press as much as required?

half time thoughts

• Bobby is hindering us ... He hasn't played badly, but him playing up front means Jota is in the middle 3, where he is far far less dangerous ...
• Man City have not been great, our defense has been decent ... but that being said, they should be up 2-1 ...
• Happy with 1-1 at half ... We'll be the better team 2nd half, so hopefully, we make it count.
• Sterling is a cry baby bitch.

Good summary.

Like Shaq?

Shaq reminds me of Shanks's advice to Keegan - 'go on there and drop some grenades'. He will at least take a shot or try a sharp pass. Good to bring on with 25 mins or so left.

COME ON YOU RED MEN

 

[FoxForceFive]

KDB seemed a sound fella in the past.

That ginger goatee makes it look like he needs his hard drives checked though.

 

[MomoWASright]

Matip takes out de Bruyne. Hobbling off but he’ll probably run it off.

 

[SummerOnions]

Let's go!

I think they will try and contain us more than they did out the blocks in the first half. If it's still even by 65 I think we can win

 

[Modo]

Klopp during the break:
"Sweep the leg".
Matip: "Why are we speaking English?"

 

[Red Mullet]

Does Sterling bitch at everything?

 

[Halmeister]

Does Sterling bitch at everything?

Yes.

 

[Modo]

What the hell Jota...​

 

[dmishra]

Fucking hell, Alisson seems injured

 

[SummerOnions]

Jota with a reasonable chance but seems to have picked up a case of the firminos

 

[Red Mullet]

Has Allison injured his shoulder?

 

[Halmeister]

Has there ever been a more injury prone goalkeeper?

 

[Shadey]

Has Allison injured his shoulder?

Only in the past.

 

[dmishra]

Has there ever been a more injury prone goalkeeper?

Kirkland

 

[Red Mullet]

Has there ever been a more injury prone goalkeeper?

I’m guessing faith healing hasn’t worked.

 

[Halmeister]

Kirkland

Good point

 

[HC]

I've got a bad feeling about city are looking more and more comfortable , I think we need to change personnel and gears asap

We're playing 4-4-2 mate. Firmino and Mo up front, Mane left, Jota right. But yes, it does mean Mane and Jota have more ground to cover to get into goal-scoring areas

 

[Fabio]

Got away with it there

 

[Shadey]

Wow Jesus should have scored there.

 

[keniget]

We have no real control in midfield - just hopeful punts forward for the most part.

Hope Klopp changes it soon.

 

[Fabio]

We need shaq or keita on for bobby

I'd rather shaq
