Manchester City V Liverpool

[theghost]

We look dangerous in attack and they look awfully dangerous as well. or maybe we're just shit at the back without Sami or Agger. Who knows. Gerrard, Kewell, and Torres all look great today.

[Owen]

You two absolute twats having a go a Kuyt. Are you actually watching the match?

 

It's a really good game so far, though, and I'm impressed with City.

Rash in 'being a cunt about a player he doesn't fancy' shocker!

[Mr.SB]

Torres has touched the ball less times than Kuyt tbh.

[Kurt]

Anyone else frustrated with our crossing...whenever we end up in good positions, it seems we are more putting it in the box in hope, rather than actually looking for someone.

[loadsoftrophies]

Where's Yossi?

 

He's been very poor.

It depends on who plays up front. We definitely need someone in the box attacking the crosses.

Read my post properly before you tar me with someone else shit.

 

Very cagey game overall with no real clear chances for either side.

 

Babel will come on after 60 minutes and cause them a few problems I feel.

[Mr.SB]

Halftime, I think we've played well if you look at where Man City is in the league and that ManU have come here and lost, we've looked dangerous without giving them a chance to be dangerous on the break. This is in addition to the fact that Man City are playing a defensive formation. They've really only threatened us when Arbeloa was still getting his feet wet at the beginning.

[philyhamann]

Kuyt is crap.

[Rashid]

I said a few days ago that Benayoun is not regular first team standard and I stand by that. He is great againg lower teams though.

[mcflynn]

Good half. Thought we played well and benayoun if he didn't slip probably would have scored. I fancy us for this one. Kewell and Aurelio working well and that diagonal ball is working well. Kuyt has been playing better hasn't gave the ball away. It will come boys keep at it.

[theghost]

Kuyt is crap.

 

I wouldn't go that far. He frustrates me, and i wish we had somebody more skillful up front to partner Torres, but I wouldn't say he was crap.

[rebel23]

Kuyt and Yossi need to look for a pass rather than trying to go for glory

 

Kuyt always seems to pass it backwards when he receives the ball, can he not move with it or at least look for Torres?

 

Gerrard is playing too deep, Mascherano ahead of him is silly!

[philyhamann]

Kuyt hasn't been giving the ball away the whole time, just half the time now cause he is just passing the ball backwards or to the person who gave him the thing in the first place.

[chrisbonnie]

kewell looks like he has the beter of his man, but he just needs a bit more belief

 

Gerrard is playing a little deep, and with that, his old school hollywood balls are rife,

 

decent game so far though

 

oh, and can we please STOP taking short corners :blah

[philyhamann]

You're right, not good enough is the phrase I'm looking forward.

[Kurt]

It depends on who plays up front. We definitely need someone in the box attacking the crosses.

 

A decent first half. We look very shaky at the back. Finnan has been poor, Arbeloa looks confused. But we also looks able to create something. We just need our first touch and the last pass to be more precise. Yossi came to life the last 5 minutes. I would like to have Babel on for Kuyt. Babel to change position with Benayoun at times. I would really like too see Benayoun just off Torres. Yossi with a much better touch and vision than Kuyt can thread passes through for Torres. And also Babel threatneing on the break.

 

I think the first goal will win this match!

[Dirk]

Neither team wants to lose. Will either team want to win it? Some of the shite being espoused on Sky TV right now.

[aws]

Any chance of someone sending me a PM with a decent streaming link?

Didn't mean you, matey; it was the chuckle brothers back there.

[hamstrung]

I was about to ask if Kuyt had touched the ball yet and then saw him try and have a shot - which wasn'y very good as usual.

 

Fuck off you deluded penis.

[rebel23]

get Alonso on for Kuyt and push Gerrard on

[Captain]

I don't like this so far.

 

Arbeloa is a loose cannon on deck, deffo not his usual self. Whether he hasn't recuperated from being ill or is just shitting himself at cb I don't know, but this can't continue.

 

I also feel Gerrard is lying too deep. Let Mascherano and Arbeloa carry the ball out from the back, Stevie.

 

Finnan has been struggling on his side, and I fear that could be our undoing. Hopefully he will lift himself in the second half, along with Arbeloa.

 

I'd bring Babel on for Kuyt pretty soon to get some more pace up front. Xabi is another alternative, but I'd rather keep Javier on and have Gerrard a bit further up front.

 

We definately need to step it up a gear.
