Man City (A) - Sun 10th Apr 2022 (4:30pm)

[Strontium]

Wretched half of football. Lucky to only be 1-2. Big improvement needed in the second period, but I'm not convinced they have it in them. Too many players not on it.

[TheDrowningMan]

They’re too clever, find us wholly predictable and, more often than not, expose us as a result. If ever there’s a team to try a quirky new tactic against, it’s City.

[A_S]

Taylor reffing, as expected. How many free kicks have they had within 30 yards of goal? Almost all of them? Have Liverpool had a single one?

I wonder how Carra sleeps at night with the anti-Liverpool shite he spouts.

 

 

What’s he supposed to say how brilliant we’ve been controlled the game and are unlucky to be behind ?

We’ve been outplayed and are lucky to be only one goal behind 

[John102]

Im praying to the gods of the 2001 FA Cup final.

[J-V]

Nobody backing Trent up leaving him constantly against 2.

 

Salah may as well not be on the pitch.

[skend04]

Absolutely shocking display but no different to the last few weeks. The only difference is that city aren't mid-table dross. Brainless.

£1m a year off sky probably helps.

As a modern day footballer he won't need the money.  I understand the need to work, but have some principles.

 

 

[Bjornebye]

Mane showing more energy walking off at half time than he has all game. 

 

Somethings up with Mo and Sadio. This isn't the game for them to be fucked, if they're shattered  Get Diaz on. Fuck me, Origi would have shown for the ball more. This isn't day the for ego shit 

[Special K]

Surely we can't be as bad in the 2nd half?

Ramadan man, they are running on empty.

Apart from the pass for Jota’s goal, Trent has been a total weakness and they’re targeting him all the time.

Klopp has got a job and a half on at half time because they have had our number pretty much from the kick off.

To be honest as good as they are, us keep giving them the ball has helped them.

How much more often have they been within 30 yards of goal? For once, I don’t think the ref can be blamed.

[Rushies tash]

Zero intensity. Plodding around like a training match again. Fuck sake, need to step it up in the second half. When we go at City, they shit themselves, just not doing it enough.

[Grinch]

Well that’s as shit as it gets.  How the fuck are we only a goal down?

 

Midfield look stoned and the defence folding under the pressure.  No point looking at the rest when your base is like a deck of cards.

Fucking hell mate how often have we been in a position to get fk near their box

[Saintslfc13]

That was about as shit as of a first half as we could’ve possibly played. Lucky to be only down a goal. Ball won’t stick up top, can’t get out of our half. They all need a kick up the ass.

[Leyton388]

Absolutely bottled it and lost the title in that first half.  They've had the measure of us over the past 2 seasons easily. 

 

Completely outplayed in every department. 

 

 

[Colonel Bumcunt]

I've never seen a pitch watered this much.  It lets them easily pass behind our full backs, whereas our long balls to Salah/Mane have to be perfect or skid off. 

They are pinging low crosses across the back of our high defence which are perfect for their attackers arriving at the back post. 

I mean, yeah it's the same pitch for both sides, but City have obviously been training on a wet pitch this week. 

 

 

[Freddo]

Got to find a way of getting the forwards in this game. Is it bobby? Dropping deep and getting on the ball. Thiago too. Not seen him.

Diaz for some unpredictability. Sloppy as fuck for the goals. Highline not worked as no pressure on the ball. 

Big improvement needed

To be fair to him he's had a far better game than Salah even though he's been crap.

 

Mane has been going backwards for over a year yet Senegel managed to derail Mo in the Afcon and World Cup qualifiers.

They’ve been tearing our right side apart completely. A lot of sides try to take advantage of it and Abu Dhabi have been doing it for fun.

 

Trent has been poor and has had no support at all from Mo and Henderson in front of him.

Second best by a long long way in that half and so fortunate to just 1 behind 

The fact that we’re only 1 down and playing so poorly, gives me hope for the second half. Maybe we’ll see an early appearance of Diaz.

[Kevin D]

Get Mane off for Firmino, now. Game is still there to be won. We’ve been average and still have had openings. Thiago has been excellent, Fab needs a Matip slap.

[Jimmy Hills Chin]

Sadio seems to have lost that ability to not have the ball taken off him and it’s fucking killing us.
