Man City (A) - Sat 25th Nov 2023 (12:30pm)

[Funkasy]

Loads of time to win this, but our front 3 need to wake up.

[etho]

I think we've been defensively excellent? These are brilliant and have won 23 in a row at home. You have to be pretty much perfect to beat them, and we have been except for alissons one mistake, and our use of the ball in the final third. Small margins

[KMD7]

Played pretty well imo bar the disaster for their goal 

[Em City]

Macca has been fine, I think some people just don't rate him.

 

Jones and Nunez have stunk the place out and that goal was a disgrace.

[3 Stacks]

Obviously, playing like Oles Man United and Alisson throwing one in his own goal is all Mac Allisters fault. 

[Chris]

The only benefit to having Alexander-Arnold in the "hybrid" role is quite often there's someone competent/willing occupying the area of the field a right back would. 

 

On days when that's not possible, i.e. today, I'd be playing Gomez. 

I'd be bringing him on at half time. 

 

Fuck that leg dangling shit.

[Simbo]

So indecisive in and around their box. Infuriating as there’s chances for us.

 

Well in the game but need to raise it significantly.

The man needs to be escorted from the premise and his hard drive gone over with a fine-tooth comb. 

[LFC 6 Times]

Very frustrating half, only ourselves to blame for being one down. They haven’t been better than us. 
 

We’re lacking serious conviction and belief when we’re attacking. Darwin and Jones have been really really bad. Szobo, Mac and Matip been good for us.

 

Gakpo, Lucho and Diaz In next 15 Jurgen.

I'd sit Nunez down and make him watch videos of Torres and Owen making runs at half time. He looks low on confidence today and he fucking well shouldn't be.

 

 

 

He makes plenty of runs, we're just not hitting them quick enough, giving City time to get back. Jones and Macallister seem to want too long on the ball. I'd replace both at half time for Gravenberch and Elliott.

[Anubis]

Not a great half. Poor defending. Too easily dispossessed. Forwards too hesitant. Tsimikas our best player of the half.

 

The good thing is there is plenty of room for improvement after Klopp applied his boot to their arses.

[KevieG]

Doing ok, get Jones off, taking too many touches.

 

Poxy goal. 

[bossy]

Nunez should have shot , same Jota, same someone else. Jones is a fucking showboating pony. We should be more direct rather than the fucking about. Having a good old moan. Come on reds!!!

[Red Phoenix]

1 min of stoppage time and instead of at least crossing it we gradually play it back to defenders then it's half time. Hopefully we're more aggressive next half even though we've done ok in places. Maybe Diaz can help with that if he arrives early on.

[etho]

Think Trent has also been excellent defensive so far. Gomez gets done sometimes with the leg inside. He's just not expecting Ake to dribble him

[liverpoolsno9]

Trent sticking a leg out that remind me of myself sticking a lazy leg out when I’m fucked & let the opposition go past me. Fucking shocking from him that. 

[Fallen Angel]

Look like scared little boys - weak as fuck. 
 

Jones needs binning off and Nunez needs to learn the basics about control and offside 

[BeefStroganoff]

WHAT A LOAD OF FUCKING SHITE.

 

I'm sorry but that one piss-poor half from us. Fucking brainless all over the park. This is a list of stuff I witnessed that half:

 

Poor decision making in attack

No one tracking runners

Half arsed pressing

No one putting a tackle in

Ponderous at the back

 

In short it was fucking abysmal. That Ake dribble wouldn't be acceptable in Sunday league, he walked around three of our players and then VVD and Matip just stand there with the big galoot in the middle of them, he didn't even make a smart run!

 

Utter shite!!!

Been saying this from the start. City shit themselves when we do.

[El Rojo]

Nunez is all about pace and power. He needs to be braver in possession and not play square little passes when he gets it out wide.

[Em City]

Get Gravenberch on for Jones, tell Nunez to put down the hash pipe and we might have a decent chance. 

 

We've been our own worst enemy here.

[BeefStroganoff]

Also what with our weird pressing technique were we end up with a zone of about 6 players just standing there whilst they pass the ball into the centre circle for completely free and unmarked city players to pick up the ball? Beyond infuriating.

[elvis]

Some balls and some conviction would be nice , klopp needs to get into these cunts at halftime.

Gakpo is by far our most intelligent attacker and he's sat on the fucking bench

Big loss alright. Surely we play Gomez at LB. 

Quansah gets in before Gomez for me .

I'd sit him down and make him watch videos of Darwin Nunez playing for Uruguay and Benfica. 

[an tha]

All feels eerily similar so far today to how we used to lose games to the top sides pre Klopp/pre us being good again frankly.

 

We were always in the games mostly, but one or two moments would go against us/we'd fuck up and gift a goal and go down narrowly but without really ever looking hugely likely to win it.
