***City v Liverpool Official Match Thread***

[Indianablue]

Not in this game at all. Very nervous

[sheblue]

Let's hope it doesn't end up 5 nil. Because it's looking like it.

Smokey and the bandit is on at 4.30. Looking better by the minute

That’s exactly how I feel could stop it now for me

[stevefromdonny]

when we go forward we stop and wait, FFS Liverpool moves forward and keeps going

[zuricity]

why isn't that push from Robertson a yellow ?

[johnny crossan]

I really don't blame Steffen, shit like this happen. Ederson dodged it many times.
The blame is on the manager. The preparation for this game is beyond a joke.

It's absolutely incredible how time after time he doesn't see some basic stuff. Klopp the cunt knew and played his best eleven, Tuchel last year the same.
Everyone can see it a mile away, he can't.

Why is that?

Steffen cost us the semi last year and in the shoot out with West Ham this, he's not up to the standard required.

Pep hasn’t a clue at times , not a fucking clue has he !

Puts together a mish mash of a team and after we get totally battered today he will whine that he has no players , everyone is tired blah blah blah .

Klopp has played the same team nearly all season and he’s 1 point behind us in the league !!!

Baldie excuses are just that - excuses. Stefan a played shite the last game out and we could all see he is fucking useless from the start of today kicking the ball into touch and nervous as fuck in possession.

I’m sick of it and I’m sick of fans sticking up for peps shit decisions .

[Harry Dowd scored]

I don’t call out Pep many times, but he has fucked the fans here

[Blue In Bolton]

Steffen is an absolute joke of a keeper.

He's not, but we came into the game sleeping.

[zuricity]

Allison is awful too we need capitalise on his cock ups.

We are in for a mullering today - the dippers can sense we are there for the taking .

[hyper]

Feels like we're playing with 10 men.

[PeterParker]

I feel sick.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Don’t worry we have Sterling and Jesus big match winners playing .

Have some faith .

[dave watson's perm]

Really needs to get Fern off as he will be off via Oliver before long

[Indianablue]

How can anyone NOT blame Steffen . It was a complete fuck up. We've come into this very nervy poor passing 2 simple goals given away and Liverpool will be unlucky now to score a few more. Its like watching City in the 70s against Liverpool. Be honest up to press we are shite

I can't really say I was confident going into this game anyway.

Compare the difficulty of our CL tie to theirs and the match sandwiched between where we outplayed them and I think it's not hard to see how we would struggle.

Some of their best players were rested in the last match.

It's too much at once for any side to perform at their best each time.

The 2nd half of the Atleti game was very much a sign of fatigue both physical and mental.

Then add on the injuries, Steffan's massive drop off in form (remember when you were praising him?) and increase in mistakes (also seen playing for the U.S.) and time needed to prepare for this and I am disappointed but not too surprised.

[hyper]

No way that hurt that much. Get the fuck up.
