Liverpoool v Man City Post Match thread

[JohnDoe]

What team would you have put out out then. We don't have much else in our squad? Maybe Maxi instead of Jova..? We are threadbare.

Which is my point basically, the squad is ****, it doesn't matter which formation we put out, the players are the same. Lucas won't turn into Kaka if we put him next to another defensive midfielder, he'll just appear to be less **** because we won't notice him as much. The same for Kuyt and Jovanovic: 4-4-2, 4-3-3, it doesn't matter, they still don't have any ability to create something dangerous out wide.

Whilst I'm not going to abuse Roy, it's so blatantly obvious that you're biased towards him there isn't really much point

Biased, towards our own manager. Yeah, what a cunt

[CJ]

so are we hoping for 6th now?

Undone by a couple of Argies...?


I dont think it was as terrible as you guys are making out.

We just played a very good side, and had a few moments of poor concentration. I have seen us win games like the one we have just seen. I dont think the formation was an issue either. The personnel is the probelm.

Jovanavic is not a winger. I am not sure is Roy thinks he is obliged to play him. Should have taken our corners, though. Lucas and Ngog are out of their depth at this level. We need 11 classy players to challenge the best. Ans some real width. The worry for me is, when we did get crosses in, we rarely had anyone in the box.

I thought now would be a good time to play City, before they gelled, but the chasm in class across the pitch was too much. Their side was more physical too.

I thing if we had Mascherano in there, we may have had a chance. Ah well. Its a long season. I am not going to get depresed on the second match day, or Ill end up suicidal come June.

Surely the two are closely related. We don't have wingers, so dont play 442. And the 2 shouldn't be the same type of player. Its not rocket surgery

Right direction!

[wiw]

wat.

Do you not read Bob's posts We should all support our own manager, no doubt, no argument there

Well we probably agree really, and I really think having Lucas on his own - knowing Gerrard will go forward is asking for trouble. Will be interesting to see the formation the next time we play a top 4 team away.

Therein lies the problem - our squad isn't good enough, if we're behind in a game we've no plan B and don't have 2 or 3 players that can come off the bench and turn it around for us.

No matter who the manager is, we're going nowhere with this squad of players, it's bad times.

Maxi is a winger, Babel is arguably better as a winger than Jovanovic surely? We had the players to play either formation, but 442 against Citeh was a serious error. We havent got a great squad but at least you play players to fit the system don't you?

[Craig_H]

its my opinion, dont like it fair enough

Are you not capable of expressing an opinion with a bit of respect though mate? You're not an ignorant bloke, you're easily educated enough to know how to state your opinion and criticise people without abusive terminology. Someone posted in an abusive tone to you, and you offered him out So obviously you realise it's disrespectful, and yet it's ok for you to do it to our manager.

I dont know why you do it, but you really do make a rod for your own back sometimes.

friends? I don't know the guy too well but offering a fight is just plain daft, especially as the feckers been doing MMA for the last 5 years!

[Rudo]

Well we won't get anywhere near the top 4, that's for sure.

United, Chelsea, Arsenal, City and Spurs have better squads than us.

We've got a starting 11 that COULD rival them but we all know it's not just about 11 players is it.

[Kenneth]

Its more a case that so many people didn't want him, they were just waiting for a chance like tonight to slag him.

I like Roy but if we're getting spanked week in week out in 6 months time I'll probably be joining the slagging but until at least that time I see little reason.

rafa had 5 seasons and left us in this mess with a load of **** players that can only play in a 451 formation by all accounts. well done that man.

Pretty fair all in all. I, like everyone else was annoyed Roy didn't change anything, but looking at the bench, there was nothing there that could have helped us regain control in midfield.

When you looked at Citys bench it really brought home home the game has moved on. Adebayor -Wright Phillips- Silva - Viera etc. They would all have made our first XI.
