Really no point getting your knickers in a twist because it's the same all the time when it comes to football fans. One Everton fan says something a bit bitter and SOME Liverpool fans will then use that to tar the entire Everton fan base as bitter blues, just as an example. Nah it's not just you, there were at least 3 posts of pretty much the same shite after MadLad's words got misinterpreted. Some people just love a high horse to sit on when it comes to certain clubs.

Lucas Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'm not sure I can remember the last time City played and didn't create a single clear cut chance, let alone not one shot on target. We are talking about a City team here that have scored for fun with an embarrassing riches of attacking options at their disposal. That in itself is enough to tell you exactly how comprehensively beaten they were tonight. Liverpool's achilles heel for so many years, the defence, was their lynchpin. I was very impressed with their performance. The key to this tie for me is away goals. We all know Liverpool can score, but hands up, who really thought they would shut out City like they did? We'd have all bet on at least one City goal but there was hardly a sniff from the away team. No silly keeping errors from Karius. Van Dijk marshalling the defence with an inspired Lovren beside him. Alexander Arnold and Robertson faultless at full back. It was one of those games where you felt City could have played to midnight and not scored. Pep completely got it wrong tonight. He tinkered by taking Sterling out and Gundogan in. De Bruyne was too deep to influence the game offensively and Jesus was a passenger with no real service. By the time he changed it back, they were 3-0 down. Too late. It's not over. Football is a funny game. City have stuck five past Liverpool once this season. If they get one or two early goals, you wouldn't back against them. But what a golden chance this is for Liverpool now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 You've got to love Klopp... He's every other coach's nightmare with his chaotic brand of football. I have absolutely no idea what Klopp gets his teams to play in terms of football. Yeah, we get as far as seeing there's a formation, but from there oni it's just mayhem and other coaches don't know what to do with that. I said that the worst draw Barcelona could've had would've been Liverpool and that result last night proves my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Excellent performance from Liverpool last night, pretty much in control all game long and defended deep in the last 20 minutes but truth to be told weren't troubled. After going 3-0 up i felt City would at least get one, but now they will have a big big task ahead of them as i am certain Liverpool can get at least one away goal. Salah as usual the top name on the pitch, but i felt that Robertson and Arnold were sublime stopping City's fast players. Overall a good team performance and i don't see anything but a Liverpool semi final spot, even tough you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to tell me that this is the first time an away team bus has arrived at a Stadium and had stuff thrown at it? Give over Even Vincent Company said it’s nothing new when asked about it after the match. His response was “I’m sure our lot will have it’s own little reception when they arrive” This really isn’t a first! It’s shit behaviour, it shouldn’t happen, but it does. This isn’t the first time. You said it happens every week, when it clearly doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Some bollocks from the Palace fan. Some scallies in North Face is not Galatasary, it's bellend behaviour but if Manchester City are intimidated by that then they are very much the 'victims' here. Liverpool just got it right and exposed their flaws, without exposing their own. Manchester City are well capable of putting 4 past Liverpool in Manchester though.

SirBalon Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 What is it with the two Gulf State clubs (Man City and PSG) that are pumping everything and anything in the pursuit of acquiring victory in the Champions League and can't seem to get it done? Both couldn't give a damn about winning in the domestic scene and that in itself is seen just as a bonus and addition to have a foothold into using the product placement mechanics... But the target is the Champions League overall and it just isn't happening or looking to happen any time soon in my view because how many more players can you bring in or top coaches to get it done?

Happy Blue Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I think we will go through tbh, our average number of goals at home is 3 and we don't concede many so keep it a standard 3-0 home win then beat them in extra time ..if they score invade the pitch so the game gets abandoned The Liverpool bus is going to get smashed to fuck, sad state of affairs!! ..shame our lot cant rise above it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool is lost in the woods, they did not keep possession. They allowed City to play their game and scored a goal which unfortunately for City was rule off side. anyhow, what's done is done. Onward to the second leg. i just hope the liverpool players will watch the replay and see their mistake in the 2nd half and make amends for it.

I think you will be dangerous and maybe even get a couple early on but 1 or 2 slips at the back and you are done for... If I was Klopp I would play exactly the same way in the second leg and go for goals.. no point in sitting back soaking it up and hoping for a break at some point that's just asking for trouble..

A lot will hinge on both Aguero and Salah being available for both attacks on the night... Pool pressed you constantly in the first half of that game and never really gave you any chance to find any rhythm and when they allowed you possession in the second half they defended fairly well... You will have to have it right at both ends of the pitch where Liverpool really only need to get it right at one end.. either Defence or Attack...

SchalkeUK Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I have watched Leroy since he was a kid and never have I seen him look as down and frustrated as much as last night. Young Alexander-Arnold had a superb game and bottled Leroy up as he has never been bottled before! The other side was just as firm and Kloppy seems to have sorted out the main threat - Keep Kevin deep and block the wings - no decent service back into the penalty area and no goals! Sterling is/was a waste of time and against his old club was bound to fail with his inability to sort his head out. Pep has some serious thinking to do otherwise Kloppy will win the battle of the managers - which really is what last night was about. Next Tuesday will be worth waiting for because although Barce seem through, they do not have the strength at the back which Liverpool demonstrated last night - I know the centre backs are somewhat 'dodgy' at times - Joel's injury was somewhat of a blessing in disguise as he is sometimes still the daft kid he was at Berger Feld! Despite the 3-0 scoreline I still think it's anybody;'s final! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss of possession and overloaded wings ruined any chance of us getting out of our half and then the demolition was complete. I don't think if it was an 11 v 11 the scoreline would be as flattering. Having said that, if Pep can find a way to let KDB operate at maximum efficiency unlike yesterday where he got harried into rushed decision making you'll will get far more joy. I don't think this tie is over, far from it, but I don't think its beyond this team to go to the Etihad and get a goal and apply more pressure. Oh and dont play Jesus. Aguero has a history against Liverpool and its strange that he wasn't used yesterday because he would most certainly have gotten a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
