Manchester City vs Liverpool - Pre-match build up & Match thread

[orri]

"not deliberate" and then "penalty for sure"? What?

no it wasnt deliberate but it still a penalty he stopped the ball that was going out to the box

Shocking performance when you consider how much ability the guy has. Others on the pitch were just as bad, but this kind of performance is starting to become the norm from the captain.

He's hardly had a break for 2 years. He'll have a good long rest in the summer and I'm sure he'll be back to his best next season.

A snore draw is how the game was described on Irish tv as the final whistle blew.

[kurtangle01]

are we still 3rd?

Yep and we've got 2 home games to come in a week.

We may as well play the likes of Paletta, Zenden, Kewell and Fowler against Boro because the team out there today are just waiting for the Chelsea games.

He'll put in a stormer of a performance agains the chavs though I bet. Its not just one man though, there have been some sloppy performances today. This is a game we should be winning

[Cantankerous]

are we still 3rd in the league now that arse have won?

Yeah. With us drawing and Arse winning, we still have a 2 point gap & both played same number of games.

Plenty of players have had similar runs of games as him. He is not the only player that had the world cup between two seasons. The thing that annoys me is the way he strolls through games of late, with a "don't care" look on his face.

Yes, we're 2 points ahead of them with a better goal difference

[johnly]

Right I'm off to get some tea and try and erase the memory of that game, although if anyone has trouble sleeping tonight, pop that match on you'll drift right off.

That's absolute bollocks, mate. Every player reacts differently to fatigue but to say he doesn't care is complete nonsense.

[kurtangle01]

Win our next 2 games and we'll definitely finish 3rd IMHO.

Gerrard needs either a strong slap in the face or a long, long summer holiday in the sun.

The latter is correct.

Damn, there goes any chance of the Premiership this season
