Post match thread v Man City

[Gibbo]

Though Mancini acted like a **** telling him he couldn't sit on the bench after his sending off. He's got a weird way of treating his players, a bit like kids.

Your not alowed to sit on the bench after a sending off are you? You have to go back to the changing room.

And to be fair, that second yellow card was a bit harsh. He leant a bit with his arms but **** me, it didn't deserve a yellow.

I think it could go either way, but given he had only been on the pitch for 15mins, already been booked, and the ref had spoken to him about another couple of fouls since the booking, it's easy to see why the ref gave him a second yellow.

[Nicey]

I'd agree with that, I just don't want to see Carragher come back in. I hope Skrtel and Agger (as long as there are no injurys) get a long run in the side because they deserve it.

Statistically aswell we are joint No 1

oh yeah, and can't believe carragher has been left on the bench again.

loving this skrtel agger partnership. long may it continue.

given Stevie's Injury record over the past 12 months i wouldn't risk depending on him as much as we use too.

[Fredo]

Your not allowed to sit on the bench when you've been sent off anyway, I think he was just disappointed with him only being on the pitch for 5 minutes before getting himself sent off and wanted to get that across to him

It was a harsh yellow card and he was told to **** off like when a kid does something wrong. I'd have done the same thing, maybe ****ted Mancini as well.

Correct

I think Gerrard will play with Suarez when he is fit. That combination can be lethal for us, we might not need a new striker.

Stevie has been injured and it is very conceivable that his injury spell will continue and we cannot rely on him to give us an offensive power.

Him playing is just a bonus.

Imo we need to go out there and buy a quality finisher and hopefully it will be one available in January.

He'll probably start midweek for the Carling cup game though

that's fine. give him a chance to help bring coates through

[Suarez]

What a great performance in the second half. We were all over them.

However, there were too many occassions where we didn't have enough men in the box. We have a lack of any real pace in midfield which at times is telling.

[Buzzo]

And to be fair, that second yellow card was a bit harsh. He leant a bit with his arms but **** me, it didn't deserve a yellow.

A big tough guy like Skrtel shouldn't go down as easily as that. He and Agger were excellent again today though. We've been much tighter since they became the back 2.

[Mostar]

It's worth mentioning Skrtel had a great game. He is showing a lot of consistency and deserves his place over Carragher.

I thought that our both CB Agger and Skrtel had a great game. Solid all around.

I cannot see Carra breaking back into the first team with them playing like that.
