Match Thread : Liverpool v Man City

[miller0863]

15 minutes after the end of the game and the entire discussion on Sky post match has been about Foden and City.
Hey guys.. there was another team on that pitch today and they scored two excellent goals and Fabinho should have won the game for them.
City city city city city blah blah blah city city Foden wankfest blah blah fuckin blah.

Twenty minutes….

Elliot came into the 11 but hes not a straight swap for Gini. and he complained about fans on social media not the fans in the crowd..
If not Gini it has to be someone. You see todays game we got bossed in midfield. The likes of Henderson and Fabhino got run ragged. And Jones who was nonexistant. We needed someone to put their foot on the ball and control it. Wijandlum was good at that.

Yes I know it was not fans in the ground as their was none !

Didnt lots of our fans say we needed a creative player in the midfield when you do that you leave yourself more open.

Bissouma only has 18 months left he wont cost £50m as if he knows bigger clubs want him he wont sign a new deal at Brighton.

We did get bossed in CM I havent said otherwise but we are playing one of the best teams in the world not Lincoln.

2 goals out of nowhere. The first for Mané involves arguably even greater effort. Wins the ball in our defensive third to thwart an attack and keeps possession- receives the next pass and motors into Cities half - wrong footing their entire back line and feeds it into Mané for a routine finish.

Then scores an absolute wonder goal.

You won’t see many world class players put in a better performance anywhere this season.

Agreed he is the best player in the EPL.

You could argue he is the best in the world at the minute.

He does my reason is he scores in big games he isnt a flat track bully.

I think he wins right now because who beats him? The two gods are not better anymore and Neymar isn’t either. Plus everyone else is in a less difficult league.

Excellent performance from Pep's plebs annoyingly.

We got outplayed by and large, weren't brave enough which is my main gripe and sadly too many sloppy passes/second to things/second balls/first touches fluffed.

Agree. The midfield passing was terrible, constantly playing eachother into trouble with passes either astray or too short. It was one of the worst showings for a while, all 3 were very poor. Maybe Thiago would have brought some composure but he could also easily have been as bad as hes shown on plenty of occasions.
They're just a better side with better players but ut doesn't help when all 3 of your midfield are competing to be the 5th wheel. Silva had the run of the middle for 94 mins.

Agree on both.
Hes absolutely unbelievably good. He pulls us out of situations time and again. Kev is right when comparing him to Gerrard in that respect.
We have to beat the likes of Brentford if we are only going to a point against the big guns at home. Right now I wouldn't back us to take the 3 against any of the others.
Very frustrating that the 3 draws have been in games we have taken the lead.

Micah Richards is a big meff

Same, he should be picking up his second balloon door
