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

[kurtangle01]

Damn, there goes any chance of the Premiership this season

[El Jefecito]

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

Well he does a very good job of looking like he don't give a ****e.

[Kinell]

****. Doesnt sound like we had a good game at all!!! was dissapointed it not being on tele here but o well. A great point for city in there fight.

He was that way at the start of the season too, and was often that was last season. He seems to be immune from criticism at the best of times. I would love for anyone who watched the game today to honestly tell me that he looked bothered about the game today. He looked totally disinteresed in the game, anytime he lost a ball, he just stopped.

How do the players at Chelsea and Man Utd, plus the other big European clubs, who have all had to play with the same World cup sandwiched between the seasons, manage to deal with fatigue?

[LFCman]

Are we out of the relegation race yet?

[Doc_Piptorious]

:whatever:

Harsh. Did you watch the game today? The lad looked like he could not be bothered today. He would have made Cisse look like a workaholic today.

As I said to you before fatigue affects different players in different way. As for UTD, chavs, Barca players not suffering fatigue from the world cup. None of them started last season as early as we did, did they? We started that campaign about a month after the CL final and went to Japan round about christmas time to play in the WCC. The lad's hardly had a break. In fact most of our team hasn't.

Players play poorly from time to time mte and he's off form at the moment but to say he doesn't care is complete rubbish.

[ronan]

cant believe i drove home like a lunatic from work to watch that ****e today
muck.
none of them "looked arsed" to me today
just going through the motions yet again.
yes we've **** all left to play for in the league but you'd think some of them might at least be trying to fight for a place aginst chelsea..

See my response above. Some of you have short memories and judging by some of the responses on this thread you would think that we were struggling to make the CL next year.

Teams play poorly from time to time for one reason or another and you can't win them all.

This thing is though Rafa doesn't learn anything.

Today just reminded me of the Villa game, we're going round in circles.

[Marshy]

I don't know why anyone would be surprised at yet another **** away performance and result, i expect it now and we're extremely boring and predictable away from home. This is something Rafa is just going to HAVE TO sort out for next season because if we don't win no.6 in Athens and we have yet another domestic season like this he will come under severe pressure in what will be his 4th season in charge.

[REDSCOUSER]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
another inept boring away display

Give it time. I firmly believe that next season will see a marked improvement. We've not had a great record at citeh for a few years apart from the win last season.

You can't win them all. Sometimes it's because we play poorly, sometimes it's because the opposition plays well and sometimes it's a combination of both.Look at it as a point gained.

I agree that we'll have to be more adventurous away from home if we're going to win the league but that will come in time when we win a few away from home on the trot.

[lfc4ever]

And performances like that are why we will only ever finish 3rd or 4th, they have to be eradicated and pointed out to the players that /every/ fukkin game matters, more so to those fans that turn up to support the team through thick n thin.

ffs, CL football is not the be all and end all, every match counts.
