Liverpool v City, April 13 Massive Game Thread

[RedZeppelin III]

i guess that was mingolet in a nutshell before half time ...a dodgy clearance , flapping like piss but then an amazing save .

 

[Shadey]

Sterlings goal was world class..

 

[Markeh]

Sakho has hit his man with 95% of his passes if not more this half. His passing is frighteningly accurate at times, backed up by his stats this season. If he was forever giving the ball away you might have a point, but he isn't.

The only player who has played a stupid ball this half and got caught for it was Flanagan, but Gerrard got back and saved it.

He hits his man yes but he's not picking the right pass, a couple of times the right thing was to give it to the keeper and build again which Agger and Skrtel have been doing relentlessly over the last few matches. Instead he plays it though the centre to someone who doesn't have the necessary time to control the ball, very high risk of us losing possession then with city can go directly at our defence.

 

[Oncy]

Aguero will be on at half time.
This isnt over yet.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Also special note to Coutinho who has put in a superb shift, some great tackles

 

[gene hughes]

I can't believe Sterling scored like that.

 

[FoxForceFive]

We seem to have a policy to step off them & camp inside the area when city have it instead of closing at the edge of the area, it stops them making runs inside, but it means if they do run at us all the defenders are on their back foot. That could cost us.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Johnson has played well too.

Sterling just on another level so far. He cleared off the line too.

Yeah, but we have been blistering on the counter and with a little more composure we would have punished them. We will get a couple more.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

just watching again that double clearance off the line from sterling and johnson , fucking top quality .

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

That tackle aside I think he has been excellent.

Yeah I'm not sure why his passes have been described as risky. He put in a crucial heading challenge against Silva and I think there was another important tackle he pulled off before that earlier on. Bad tackle against Dzeko but otherwise, I think he's been pretty flawless.

He just looks a bit awkward when he makes passes. He almost always looks like he's about to fall. LOL.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Anfield has been fucking great

 

[FoxForceFive]

If take a 2-0 with us hogging possession all second half, but that ain't gonna happen, so we need to come out of the blocks & try to get at least one more goal.

 

[red_maradona]

apols if quiffing, anyone got any good sopcast eng links?

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Coutinho and Sterling have tormented City.

MOM is a toss up between them imo.

Coutinho needs to calm down before shooting. Fantastic game otherwise. He looked like he was a bit jaded by the end of the half having put in so many runs; the break couldn't come soon enough for him to catch his breath.

 

[Judge Jules]

I hope we don't sit back and try to play the possession game TBH. The last thing we want to do is invite them on to us.

City don't like being pressed. The pressing game is the way to go.

 

[Oncy]

I dont think we have a reverse gear JJ

Actually the stupidest pass was Mignolet's. That scared the shit out of me.

 

[Squiggles]

This is far from over. City have scored the most second half goals in the league this year. We can't stop pressing. We can't stop closing down. We need to start the second half with a high intensity.

City need to finish this game covered in knocks, bruises, cuts, scars, limping onto their coach back to the shithole they came from to the sound of Anfield Road in full voice.

 

[Farkmaster]

First 35 mins were brilliant, would have been nice if we were a little more clinical. The end of the half is a reminder that city are no joke, they should have had a pen and created good chances.

That chance he had, if he'd just passed into either corner it would have been a goal.

 

[Oncy]

Ive just sang the whole of 'Just the two of us' to my cock.
Merely a twitch in acknowledgement.

 

[moron]

If only we had another creative player on the bench

 

[nealmac]

Aguero and negredo will soon be on. And we're not attacking the Kop end this half. It's a long way from over.

We need a 3rd ASAP

Do trouser snakes have ears?

 

[mom]

We battered them first half. Embarrassed them. Hope we don't rue those missed chances. Come on boys. Need another to bury them good and proper.

 

[Markeh]

awesome up until the shot

 

[Judge Jules]

Milner coming on for Navas. Don't really get that.

 

[Red Mullet]

Do trouser snakes have ears?

They have an eye. If it was looking up, it could lip read.
