Manchester City (a)

[Big-Red-Ed]

We needed to perfect today and so far we are way too nervy. Our midfield needs to assert itself. Booby might be the difference

Lucky to be only one behind. We need to be brave with a sub and throw caution to the wind, because doing the same won't affect the game.

Salah, better but still not right and neither is Mane who is struggling to find his feet. Take your pick, I don't care but we could do with Diaz sooner rather than later.

[Venton]

City have been great, they've pressed everything, been incisive and won the ball back quickly when they needed to. I don't even think we've been that bad, they've made us look ****. Hopefully pep will decide to change something and break up their rhythm.

best team winning

why is one linesman playing on but the other blowing up straight away?

[Kenneth]

Do you think he was making a legitimate attempt to win the ball? He deliberately kicked the man.

All true, but it wasn’t violent, it can’t be a red.

[labourRed]

And I think Keita for Hendo is a very valid call.

Diaz and Keita on for Mane and Hendo, for me

Doubt he will in the second half. Doesn't understand the rules, ffs. Klopp went ballistic at the last call from him.

[spud_gun]

Need to sort out midfield

No point making an attacking sub (Mane for Diaz) if the midfield is still dog ****.

Naby on for Hendo
Diaz on for Mane

[Rich]

City have been brilliant.

Not sure what Klopp does tbh.

If he’s going to change things then you take both Mane and Salah off for Diaz and Bobby.

Don’t think he’ll do that though.

[Buzzo]

Next goal is massive.

[Fredo]

I'm surprised we're still 2-1 down. City should have been out of sight. We've not been at the races this first half and at times it's been like men vs boys. Totally outclassed. We can't be composed and keep the ball and play through their excellent pressing, either by lack of quality at this level or something fell over their head overnight I don't know. Fabinho is like an overwhelmed traffic cop surrounded by rabbits in headlights.

City have targeted what we don't do well to the perfection.

[BootRoom]

He’s being completely exposed by the lack of cover in midfield. Henderson is playing far too central because he doesn’t have the legs to play in a three anymore. He’s one of the major reasons for the performance that half. He can’t cut it against the top sides anymore.

That's sacrilege, man; leave Captain Fantastic alone. We're super lucky PSG didn't swoop in and spirit him away.
