City v Scousers

[KunDB]

C'mon City it is time to show we are better than them.

City XI | Ederson, Danilo, Stones, Kompany (C), Laporte, Fernandinho, Silva, Sane, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero

Subs | Muric, Walker, Gündogan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Otamendi, Jesus

A good strong starting eleven.

[bry the guy]

COME ON CITY fuck em up.

[lee]

come on blue boys

[Rowley Birkin QC]

City! City! City! City!

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Get in!

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

FUKIN GET IN THERE KU

[gavin]

It's gonna be tense second half. Come on City. Great finish from Sergio.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Sensational goal for the lead - we do need to sharpen up though, especially across the back. Carrying a couple of yellow cards now. A little too indecisive at times. I'd like to see Silva drop a little deeper to give our defence more of an out.

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Fuck me that was hard work. Could have gone either way really but the dippers luck expired, let's hope it's gone for the season.

Will mean cock all though unless we win every single game for the rest of the season.

[Swiss]

So stressed right now.

Every man out there deserves a medal!

[Paddy]

Brilliant at the back, in fact the whole team played their socks off. Fantastic performance. All men of the match

[Swiss]

And the fans.  Great atmosphere today

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Was also good to see us playing the dippers at their own game, being physical and using 'sportsmanship' (not resorting to diving though as they do).

[Paddy]

Rowley. The back were ace and silver was having an off day. Glad we didn't have to use KDB, we need him fully fit and David Silver needs a rest between games. Vinny but in a good shift and I know he is getting a bit slow but he played his heart out. Hope he get's a testamomial next year...

[KunDB]

Massive psychological blow to Santa Klopp and his merry men.

Sane did not have a great day but still scored, whole team give their all and deserved the 3 points against a very physical Liverpool.

[lee]

scouse cunts

very happy

[bry the guy]

How good was Bernardo Silver tonight, he must of covered every blade of grass 3 times.

How good was Bernardo Silver tonight, he must of covered every blade of grass 3 times.

he was like a man possessed..i bet he'll have a right good kip tonight

[bry the guy]

Were coming for you, were coming for you you scouse basterds were comming for you.

[gavin]

Great win. Bernard was everywhere but neither he or Dave showed their real quality with the ball tonight. It was a battling performance of some magnitude. Fantastic. Let's make the most of it now though. Put the pressure on.

[Swiss]

I thought bernie was motm.  Really led the midfield.  I'd also single out fernandinho for praise

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Rowley. The back were ace...

Nah. Our backs moved the ball around a little too slowly for my liking - too hesitant at times, but like I said, that was perhaps an indication of the limited outlets they had to bring the ball forward (Liverpool midfield worked hard). I would have dropped Silva deeper to help them out precisely because he was having an off day.

Doesn't matter though. All in all a great team performance. B Silva and Dinho were immense.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

...and not forgetting Sergio Aguero. Looked dangerous every time he went near the ball. Magnificent effort - and a world class goal.

[KunDB]

Lets not forget Ederson, what a contribution he made in the match. He started the move for the deciding goal by intercepting a through ball, to a breaking free Salah, some yards outside his box and then the absolutely superb save from Salah when he was through (and Pep nearly had apoplexy at Ref.).

What a performance even deserving of MoTM, if only there had not been so many other City MoTM performances (Bernardo, Fernandinho, Kun, Stones, VK, & more).

[Neil Mcnab]

Great call by Pep to leave out Walker, who is not in form and play Danilo who is. Same to play Laporte at LB instead of Zinchenko who struggles in what is clearly not his position. Dave was poor, needs a rest? Bernie was superb, as was Dinho. Kun was all fired up, but so were the whole team. Sterling obviously has a hard time playing against his old team. Difficult to watch last 5 minutes. Will mean nothing if we dont play like that until the end of the season. Also, where was all that against Leicester and Palace, the same intensity, would we have lost those? No.

[Swiss]

I thought Laporte played solidly with a few good forays

[jingoe]

3 scousers jumped up in the row in front of me when they equalised . I'm in the Colin Bell but it was still not a smart move.

[Hesperus]

Great fighting, powerful performance. We really showed our mettle and out Klopped, Klopp. Bernardo and Fernandinho were amazing. Bernardo covered nearly 13km during the game. Hopefully that will take the wind out of the scousers sails and they’ll drop a few more points now. They are a good side though, Salah, Firmino and Mane are real quality up front.

[gavin]

Let's see what happens if they get injuries to a couple of em. Not surprised to see that they've been less than good losers again.

[Swiss]

The shadow of the ball thing is hilarious on Twitter wars.

[Moz]

The shadow of the ball thing is hilarious on Twitter wars.

I agree, hilarious.

Always an excuse for them! fair enough it was unlucky but about time we had some luck!

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Not heard about the shadow thing? Is the shadow fully over the line?

[Swiss]

Not luck, was the correct call.


Shadow: I'll try and find the image, but where sky showed the ball hadn't crossed the line, very clearly, sky's CGI of the not-goal had a smaller shadow under the ball and the Scouse fans were trying to claim the shadow clearly shows the ball had crossed the line, that the software had malfunctioned and there's a conspiracy to not let lfc win the league

[Swiss]

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

That's a conspiracy I can get behind!

[reddishblue]

[Paddy]

It def did not cross the line as var showed. It is new and it is of now gospel, get used to it.....

[gavin]

Tight win for them today but they're not convincing.

[Hesperus]

Unfortunately it was another win though and an important one for them given 2 defeats on the bounce.

[Lekos]

Tight win for them today but they're not convincing.

Nope, not convincing but still winning.
