[PL] Manchester City (A): Post Match

[SB]

skrtel 9 continually saved our asses.
firmino and coutinho 8.5
can, lallana, milner 8
lucas, lovren, 7.5
moreno, clyne, ings 7
mig 6.5

You snuck Ings in there today. even with a bung knee he got a 7 so that shows how ****e City were.

Class performance, absolutely destroyed them and the scoreline flattered them. Thought Firmino, Coutinho & Skrtel were different class. Would have given Skrtel man of the match but for that **** clearance for the Aguero goal, just clear it man! But he was absolutely immense, so many vital interceptions. Lovren had a decent enough game but some of the things he does are just ridiculous. Clyne and Moreno did ok.

Firmino had his best game in a red shirt, he was everywhere. Coutinho outstanding too , really hope he is not injured badly. Lucas has been a sensation under Klopp, his continued fitness is so important to us.

Lot of workers in Can, Lallana & Milner. Thought Milner was ****ing **** in first half but made some great tackles and tracking back in the second to be fair.. especially in periods where City pressured. I think i'm so critical of Milner as I bigged him up a bit when he signed and he's just looked so lethargic on the ball, expected more than just a worker. I'm not quite getting the Can love in, his work rate is excellent but he's been shocking in possession. The back worked but was blatantly meant for Firmino. Henderson coming back in for Can & maybe Firmino in Lallana's position when Sturridge/Benteke come back in.

We were fantastic today and it really should have been 7 or 8, Firmino could have had 4. If we had that intensity against the lesser sides we would murder them.

[G]

Unreal performance, should really have had 3 or 4 more goals. Love that Klopp still wasn't happy nor should he be, Brendan would have hailed that as the perfect display. That's the difference between winners and the rest.

When Sky put up our next 6 games I said to myself, 9 points away from home are guaranteed, its the 3 games at home that worry me.

[danperkins]

Yup, said the same to the lads ... just not confident of us at home these days.

Class performance, absolutely destroyed them and the scoreline flattered them. Thought Firmino, Coutinho & Coutinho were different class. .

2 Coutinho's would be too much for any side.

So Sterling went for footballing reasons eh? Could've been playing for Klopp but he's got some bellend with a math degree and a perm

When he moved it was all for footballing reasons and the first few months of the season proved him right.

They are contenders we were nowhere and none of us knew Klopp would be manager 2 months into the season let alone him.

How did Mignolet get blamed for their goal?

It was obvious to anyone who wasn't still in denial that Rodgers was a dead man walking even after been kept on in the summer. He should have had a little patience.

Sod him anyway he's made his bed. It's all about the performance today. I was watching the first half and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Tat mivementup top was immense.

How did Mignolet get blamed for their goal?

Wasn't a great choice of pass.......straight to a player under pressure from 2 players......Clyne didn't clear immediately either and was turned back to goal......Skrtel didn't get the clearance required either.

Usually comes to naught, but on this occassion, it fell to someone like Ageuro. Combination of factors, not least because he had a kicking incident only a few mins before, but its not solely his fault at all.

He wasn't central of his goal for the shot either, left loads of space for Aguero to hit which he duly did. Not to mention Lucas had been booked minutes earlier otherwise he'd have taken Aguero down I reckon. Twas a **** goal all round, Thankfully it didn't cost us.

[Fosterbloke]

Lovren had a decent enough game but some of the things he does are just ridiculous.

I'm not sure what he did that was so ridiculous. I thought it was one of his best games for us!

[BigChief]

When the teamsheets came up I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to rub them in case I mispronounced one or two. Fernando instead of Fernandinho? Or even Delph? Next to Yawn Yawn Toure? Then Navas, Sterling and De Bruyne? Who the hell was going to do any shuttle running defending back for them? None of the above I could tell.

Seeing my own team made me squirm a little but then at least we had runners. All day long runners, including Lallana, Firmino, etc.

How the **** did this manager beat us to the league title that year. F*cking jammy old cnut. He'll be fired before Mourinho mark my words.
