So...Manchester City!

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Also Skrtel needs to have a word with himself, his shirt pulling is so blatant, Kompany does it too, but in a much smarter way. It's gonna be a penalty sooner or later if he keeps on doing that.

I'm of the opposite opinion, I think it's ridiculous that it's being highlighted so much. If you kept a camera on any defender in the league they'd be shirt pulling at every corner.

Bad bad bad from Mignolet, but mistakes occasionally happen.

 

 

I would have subbed Cissokho after 4 minutes.

 

In fact that's my one criticism of Rodgers, he's got players like Aspas, Moses and Alberto on the bench who aren't given enough minutes to give themselves a chance when given a run out, like Cissokho today.

Unlucky to be behind here. If we keep playing like this and cut out the silly mistakes we can definitely get something from this game.

I'm not having fun...

[spider-neil]

Fucking ref, he looked miles onside in real time and the reply just confirmed it. You fucking incompetent cunt.

[Pony Princess]

If we continue to play this well tonight and lose, what can one do?  Two amazing teams in great form.  I still think we'll 'ave it but play like this and lose, you can hold your head up high.

Thought Skrtel was as much at fault for their 2nd goal as Mignolet. He was on Negredo then left him to run clean through on goal while he needlessly ran towards the ball. For someone who is completely oblivious to the football on set pieces he doesn't half tunnel in on it in open play.

 

Other than that thought it was a great half between 2 good teams.

Well the reason being it's highlighted it's cause City are looking for Kompany on corners, Skrtel has him, it's also where the referee's eyes will be. I know everyone is pretty much doing it, and certainly Komany too, but it's not as blatant as Skrtel's. It's dangerous.

fucking cunt lino

[Rotpeter]

Looked like Gerrard was working the 4th official from the bench. Someone needs to be on them. We need some evening up calls 2nd half.

[KopOut]

I dont care if we lose to City, it's not going to win us the title or get a CL spot.

 

Id love to beat them, but...its not....

Confidence is a massive part of football.

We beat these today and it goes a LONG way toward the end result.

 

Big ask, but I think we can sneak it.

[Dani Pacheco]

Pretty rare we come out anywhere near as good in the 2nd half, I fear that goal before halftime will be disheartening.

 

Still have to be pleased with the performance in the 1st half. Things not going our way though.

I've not really got a problem with Skrtel splitting the attackers there, if he just stays with Negredo then you'd have people bitching that he didn't close down the ball. He was in no man's land and the shot shouldn't have beaten Mignolet, I'd bet he saves that 9/10 times.

[Captain]

The last team to beat Man City after City leading at half time was ...     Liverpool in 2008.

 

Come on you Reds!

[Strontium]

City look great when they're attacking, but they're not all that when you go at them. They don't like it up 'em.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Fucking hate man city. They got the cheat code I hope its fucking hollow everything they win, like love from a prostitute.

It wasn't his job to close down the ball. He had Negredo covered and Sakho was closing down the man on the ball, in the end he ran away from Negredo and didn't end up covering either (and forced Sakho to switch from the man on the ball to the runner, who he was too far behind to get near). He's as blind to the opposition in open play as he is to the ball on set pieces. He did the same thing earlier when he let Negredo run off him to get through on goal, luckily he made up for his lack of awareness that time with a last ditch tackle.

[Fugitive]

Sterlings progression has been amazing. He looks like a new player.

[Baltar]

Think we need to give Agger or Toure a few games alongside Sakho. Skrtel really worries me.

[JagSquared]

Struggling to get hold of the ball here. Bit of sustained pressure on this defence and we will be back in.

[JagSquared]

Moses getting ready... time to prove yourself

[moof]

Sakho' lost the plot

[Bobby Hundreds]

Bloody hell sakho

[Hand Shandy]

Sakho was being immense, but he needs to wake the fuck up.

[Hand Shandy]

Gone off the boil in the last ten minutes.
