***liverpool v pep's city official match thread***

[s1ty m]

so, so proud. we were so, so good and dominated the ball. Liverpool only had one shot on goal and didnt threaten in the second half. Aleks had one of the best left back performances I've seen.

That should do it Mods. Please dispose.

Come on. Enough is fucking enough mods

I thought it was us Yanks that don't get sarcasm?

They ain't very bright on here, generally.

Bright enough ta very much.

[Original Dub]

Just fuck Phips off once and for all and we all can have a happy new year MODS !!!

It would certainly be a start

[Justified logic]

Well at least we didn't allow them a second shot on target.

Hasn't done Bravo's stats much good though.

These players want Pep out.

He has lost the dressing room. He hasn't got a clue what to do.

[BrianF]

Awful display! Barely 1 shot on target from a team that used to pepper the opposition's goal.

[getdressedmctavish]

Well I thought the managers methods were shown to be successful. We totally dominated Liverpool at Anfield and they couldn't get the ball or create chances. That was down to Pep's passing system. The problem was individual cowardice, Sterling, stupidity , Kolarov , lack of physical well being, de Bruyne and ultimately Pep's stubborn refusal to hook the shadow that was Aguero for the inform Nacho. Over the next six months we will get rid of many of the culprits including I hope Fernandinho who will never make a holding mid as long as he's got a hole in his arse,and next season we will go there and murder them with the calm calculated football that Pep is bringing.

[BookJunior]

It feels like we're back to the bad old days sacking and recruiting managers etc. I'm seriously pissed off and I think 3rd place behind Chelsea and Liverpool is the best we can hope. Caught between the same 2 stools as last season with Pellegrini.

We should be making UEFA squirm by winning the EPL every year.

But... But... They're playing the pep way.

Loving the passing it around at the back and then the long ball out to our tiny forwards by the way.

Jeez I thought I was being provocative but that takes the cake, Yaya's cake even.

Pep is guaranteed to be given at least three years if we are making it to CL. We need to give him time to work his magic on squad. At the same time he needs to realise this is Premier League and start planning accordingly.

There's a few want pep gone before having an important summer transfer window.

[iwasthere2012]

There goes the night.
Pretty predictable from the moment Kolarov gave the ball away and they scored on the break.
We offered nothing although we had the lions share of possession.
We got on top but never looked threatening. These players are not the ones who can play the way Pep wants.
Some have quite a few of the qualities he wants, but not everything and too many are no where near what he wants.

Our back four are either past it or always were poor.
Liverpool looked every bit as nervy as us.
I watched with two Pool fans who thought they were dreadful, but still we didn't trouble their keeper.
It just all looked so familiar and inevitable.

Oh and I'm starting to agree about Phips.
Totally unnecessary crap. That's not sarcasm, it purely to provoke.

Whether he should be banned or not however, I'm not really bothered.

That's me done for a while.

Bollocks, He is a so called expert . He doesn't need any time at all.

If he can't cut it with the resources we have available,then he should be shown the door.

Why do you want pep fired now?

apparently.

and apparently they dont read Pep's post-match comments either.

[PaulieIrish]

Worrying thing is we will most likely be 5th in the league after Arse and Spurs play, with Utd only 3 points behind us.

Bench today was very, very light. Defence is light no matter who plays there. And none of our superstars performed.

I really thought that we had a good chance to get something from the game, especially in the second half when Liverpool looked tired and we were getting a lot more space. But we created very little. Same old problems of not being able to break down 10 men behind the ball.

And our defence must be a joy to play against. Chance are if you get a shot on target, you score. Anything not directly at Bravo and its in.

A right mess at the moment, and no signs that things are gonna improve any time soon. Worst state I can remember a City side being in for some time.

For me, this season is about securing a top 4 place somehow. Rebuild in the summer.

I'm kind of confused as well. I mean I have vocally asked for managers to be sacked in the past but I ALWAYS had suggestions of who to replace them with. For example in Hughes case i was hoping for Mancini which eventually and luckily did happen. However where would we fo from Pep? I honestly can't think of anyone better. If he hasn't figired this shit out in couple of years then yeah, it might be time but it's way WAY early to even consider that.

[Original Dub]

It's mind blowing but there is definitely a few on here calling for his head.

This lad seems the most vocal. But at least he's admitting it. There's a few others hinting at it but not coming out and saying it.

Sad times
