Hopefully shuts up all the top reds praising FSG

Yes, it’s all the fault of top reds 

[Rushies tash]

Balls floated over our full backs seem to be the area teams are targeting.

[Strontium]

A point ahead of Everton and Brighton, what a time to be alive.

Tyler "Man City are one point behind them but are on the move you feel"

 

Can anyone translate that?

"I hate Liverpool"

[Pidge]

Not as frustrating as the other two draws to be honest. Turned the game around at half time, equaliser was a little fortunate with the deflection, but a fair result really. Some poor performances, some terrible takes in here as well. 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Has the transfer window closed yet? We should buy a midfield. And some RB cover under 60 years old.

 

On fairness Milner did ok in the second half but he was always gonna let Foden in for 1. Nailed on.

[Red_or_Dead]

I need to slag off Sadio again if it leads to that!

 

No diss on Matip for the goal, but there is no way he should've got the cross in and the shot off.

 

 

[Elite]

2-2 is a very good result considering some the performances out there.

 

Feels like a loss though after losing the lead twice. Frustrating.

[3 Stacks]

We shouldn’t have been in this game on chances. Two goals on basically two attacks. And one of those on a solo effort. And yet, we still couldn't close the deal. Way better result and performance for City.

So that's 5 times we've lost the lead in 2 games.

 

Defence is a massive concern.

 

 

a midfied consisting of Jones and Henderson doesn't help the defence.  They spent more time jumping out of the way of City players.

[M_B]

Still the only unbeaten team in the league.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Would've been happy with a point at half time. But, at full time, I'm a bit disappointed with that outcome. The two goals we conceded were both sloppy.

Robertson is too naive and often caught out of position, and Trent never gets any support.  It's easy for even poor teams to target these obvious weaknesses.

[Mark M]

That Salah goal deserved to be the winner.

Not sure how Milner didn’t get sent off.

Bobby and Gomez both made us worse when they came on.

It was a better performance but not necessarily a better result.

I think city's performance was better overall and our result was better. No idea how we survived the first half. Milner could easily have been off and given away a pen.

[RedPaul]

Much better second half, great goals, we obviously need to tighten up that defence though. Getting 2-1 up and then leaving a player like that completely unmarked on the edge of the box isn't the best defensive play.

[Section_31]

Again, mainly down to having a wafer thin squad which we haven't added to. Imagine a side which won a CL, league and world club championship only a couple of years later having Milner as their only RB cover? He's slower than Windows 98, Jones isn't ready at this level either, not out of his depth by any means, but only a placeholder at best, it's not enough.

Fabinho had a great chance and Jota made himself a good chance but put it too close to the goalkeeper.

[andyj]

could have been worse i suppose 

[Rushies tash]

Still, a goal line clearance away from 3 points. Cest la vie. I'll enjoy the rest of my weekend now. Cheers. x

It was outside the box.

This.

[an tha]

Much improved 2nd half performance and what a goal by Salah.

 

I feel we are lacking solidity/calmness/composure in midfield.....missing Wijnaldum? I think we are, he helped control things in there.

 

Not a terrible result v a superb side...but feels like a missed opportunity in 2nd half after leading twice just like last week.

 

Chelsea and City at home draws are not bad results, but we will be under pressure to get results away at them.

 

On to Watford and who knows what kind of clusterfuck on back of this upcoming International bullshit and all the associated shite.
