Manchester City FC vs Liverpool FC match thread

[wiw]

We're playing right into their hands imo. Look at how they defend - everyone behind the ball, then counter at pace with 2 or 3 players because they know we will give it away. We are horrendous at keeping the ball in the final third sometimes. We attach with our fullbacks and open up for them

You forgot:
4. Argue for the sake of arguing (Craig )

[Zapater]

The lack of imagination is annoying, it's like whoever has the ball is out of options and just hoofs it towards the box/Carroll. Coincidentally it's one of the most productive halves Carroll has had thus far.

It's going to be a long 7 and a half games without Suarez.

Downing is as bad a signing as Robbie Keane was.

He's worse, much worse. And not even Harry is stupid enough to pay money for him in January. We're stuck with him. And he's destined to play every minute of every game while depriving better and more effective players on the bench.

But tricky that from ****ing Hong Kong, but no your right, well done you

I'm from London, got to Athens, Madrid, Lyon etc etc.

I dont dismiss your location by the way, in seriousness it's obviously nigh on impossible to get to games. Just dont appreciate someone telling me how to 'support the team' when i'm there 95% of the time, spending ****loads of money and time, in whatever weather, 300 miles away. That's all.

Craig - bit off having a dig about attending games.

Likewise it's a bit off him implying i dont 'support the team'. I take exception to that, funnily enough.

Just realised that, pretty stupid how that coward Gary Speed got one in every game in the UK, but Ablett doesn't even get one in a Liverpool game..

**** you , You ****ing prick

[Rabiosa]

Get Adam morgan in the first team.

[Mostar]

we've played fairly well to be honest. reina ****s up again thanks to a **** touch again from dirk. those two players apart, the others have stood up and given it a go. Enqirue is a strange one, he is comfortably our best left back for a while, but he has this trait of over running the ball and cutting back inside over and over, plus he is useless within 30 yards of their goal, he makes runs galore but his crossing is poor. talking of crossing, enrique, adam ,johnson, downing nearly all floated crosses, they don't give carroll a chance.

spearing and henderson have been the pick for me.

To me he is the only one that offers us some width and his dribbling is breaking the defensive line and I thought his crossing was good.

It is his misunderstanding with Downing that is causing issues for which I wouldn't necessary blame him.

[BobTheCharmer]

We played well. I like the way we play. It's pass, move, pass, move, pass move, even in tight situations. First goal was stupid. We don't deserve to be behind. Caroll is playing well today.

[billy_mac]

Downing is so so timid and meek, dear me.

He's afraid even to stand beside Richards.

[Fredo]

That Henderson ball to Downing was ****ing fantastic. He's gonna be one hell of a player that lad.

Neville/Redknapp expecting the Avengers to save the day from the bench.

I expect Dalglish will change things around the 80 min mark

[McDermotX]

Love the way match threads are going these days.

[Rabiosa]

**** you , You ****ing prick

Harsh

[Craig_H]

Of course not, but some of the nonsense some people on here post at times during games really is weak.

Don't get me wrong, I'm hardly amused we're losing 2 - 0, but to describe some of the things that get posted in these threads, week on week, as "embarrassing" is ****ing spot on imo.

There's lots posted on match threads, so perhaps it'd be better to pinpoint what's embarrassing and what isnt - rather than tainting us all with the same brush. Rather than "You lot are embarrassing" perhaps MrNice could actually direct it to those guilty of the accusation, rather than just broadly and indiscriminitely at everyone, as he did.

[Fredo]

Neville expecting the Avengers to save the day from the bench.

I expect Dalglish will change things around the 80 min mark

There is nothing to suggest he'll do that.
