Inverted 1,776 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If I recall in the 2-1 last season at the Etihad, Liverpool went into HT 1-0 down and with a tiny share of possession, but having had some decent chances. Not sure if it counts as a good omen considering the very differe circumstances in terms of the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I would like to see Henderson or Milner off for Fabinho, that midfield just isn't doing it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Liverpool has edged it but not enough to claim this is an "unfair" result. I have to say I'm surprised at Vincent Kompany. He's been absolutely solid. Aside from one blunder he had during the Sadio Mane post where he completely fell asleep, Liverpool has been struggling to get past him. I also echo everyone that Lovren has been the worst on the pitch. Finally, what a goal by Aguero. When he had it I had a feeling he would get it from that angle. Aguero is a master at those shots.

I think they've been pretty sloppy, after Mane's second good chance we've really had a hard time moving the ball forward with any cohesion. I think Gini's been fine, tbh. Henderson and Milner have been the bigger offenders imo. They can barely string 3 passes together but to be fair it is Man City they're playing against. It's hard to outclass that midfield.

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted January 3, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 3, 2019 Nerves haven't settled yet and that City midfield are hustling. We need someone to keep the ball more because we just seem rushed in everything we do and the one time we did play precise they almost conceded. This won't end 1 - 0.

LFCMike 3,009 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I don't think we've done too badly. Contained them pretty well for the most part. A lapse in concentration from Lovren and a great finish from Aguero while at the other end we didn't take our chance. We can still get something here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted January 3, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 3, 2019 Was just waiting for that...'Kompany not that sort of player' - must get away with more red card tackles than any player in the league. Blatant red should have been off but he gets away with it so often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Besides Vincent Kompany, who I've already praised, Sane has also been really good. He's not as active as I often see him but he's had a few good plays including one where he beat his man and through balled it in from wide before it was cleared by Van Dijk.

carefreeluke 722 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Man City trying to channel everything onto Liverpool’s left hand side. Could say it’s been successful so far as that’s where the goal came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Aguero doesn't know it yet but in 20 years time his kids are going to find pics of him with that hairdo and he will never live it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, he's been superb and his presence at set pieces is key but he's never been the best with players running at him, especially recently.

Yeah that could be it, not saying he’s malicious, but you see that sort of thing a lot from him over the last few years, but for some reason he seems to always get away with it. Hes exactly that these days, a presence and a leader but as a footballer he’s not really at City’s level imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
