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

[Red_Al_77]

This reminds me of Portsmouth at home

[carrsim]

slow and steady start

city don't seem to have much except the ball over the top so as long as we concentrate we look to have enough to break them down once

[kalesh]

Xabi and Mascher are having it all their own way so far in the middle. I love this partnership.

Reading 1-0 up. **** off Fulham

[Red_Al_77]

Alonso tries from the HW line again. Very close

[Sydney Vicious]

Xabi sounds as if he is on form.
how's our general play?

[Red_Al_77]

Nowt happening

Patient and a little toothless.

[Red_Al_77]

We look comfortable but not threatening. Citeh are playing the counter attack and when we have the ball they all get behind it.

It might be the usual Rafa away form tactic of playing it safe first half and open up a little in the second...

[Parm]

Patient and a little toothless.

i guess that's what we get for having just one up.

[cobain]

GOD DAMN IT KUYT, play in attack, not in the middle of the park! Are you a striker or not?!

[Red_Al_77]

I don't think we are playing it safe. Its just that City aredefending in numbers.
