Liverpool vs Man City - Premier League (18/19 - Game 8)

[Nicey]

joint top of the Lg having played Spurs, City, Chelsea without reaching any kind of form that is encouraging. Thought a couple of moments of madness aside, Dejan had a great game

A point is no bad thing. We didn't look very cohesive going forwards. Neville was right about playing the front 3 away to ****ing napoli. We lost it wasn't the right thing to do. A lot of our passing is behind the player, it's one thing going backwards and sideways but at least put it in front of the player so he can attack the ball. Got away at the end. Lovren apart from the weird attempt first half was very good.

Why no shaq?

Our squad still isn't that impressive. Drop from first team is massive. Fekir should have been signed. Or someone of similar quality.

Win the next and get some momentum going again.

Overreaction. Considering our schedule and where we are, it's been a great start to the season. Keita and Fabinho will adjust and we have to trust the club with the Fekir decision.

Evil run of games, our top lads way off and still joint top. You d take that after our poxy fixture list. I do worry about Mo and Bobby, they are so far off themselves. Keita too just looks nowhere near ready for the premier league.

I think our squad is very strong and I'd like us to use it more.

It happens, they will bounce back.

Front 3 are just really off form, not sure what we do, there just doesn't look to be any fluidity.

Not sure why Shaqiri didn't come on for he would have offered energy, fresh legs and creativity.

Keita is fine. "Nowhere near ready" is being melodramatic. Obviously he needs time, same as Fabinho.

[Tatterdemalion]

It was a penalty, and the other was a reasonable claim, but we defended pretty well. Lovren in particular.

VvD confirms it was

[Norbs]

The games are passing Keita by, he's hardly involved at all and is often miles from the ball. Hopefully he's having trouble adjusting and we need to hope he has the ability to adapt

I guess klopp still doesn't trust him as much to cover runners and stick to our shape.

Bbc:

manchester city had 51% possession at anfield; their lowest in a premier league game since pep guardiola took charge of the club.

I thought that we missed TAA down the right, he adds a dimension to our play that Gomez at RB doesn't have.

absolutely

[marcus50bucks]

I think we are still lacking that creative spark in the midfield and it's having a negative impact on our forwards. For me the link between midfield and attack has been poor.

I also think now is the time for Klopp to make changes to the front 3. He's given them more than enough time to get up to speed but it hasn't happened for them. It's time to start using the squad. Players like Shaqiri deserve a run of games to establish themselves in the team.

[spud_gun]

Should be said we've played some of the tougher fixtures and we're sitting pretty.

This all day long.

Join top after playing Spurs and Chavs away and Citeh at home.

With our front 3 not replicating the form of last season as well.

Happy with the progress we've made this season.

That Citeh game ends a brutal set of fixtures for us. International break now and a series of seemingly easier fixtures on the horizon.
