Thought he was excellent, and gave Liverpool the biggest problem with his balls in to the box. But like all our fullbacks in recent times (probably except Sagna and maybe Kolorov) they can't defend the cross from the other wing (Angelino 2nd goal, Walker 3rd goal).

Bredbury Blue Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 What a cracking game by two top teams going for it; brilliant stuff and I really enjoyed the game but not the result. Well I thought we were excellent; we took the game to Liverpool (Pep ‘park the bus’? Never), we were the better team in my opinion, on another day maybe it would have gone our way, but we were a bit wasteful with our chances bar Bernardo while Liverpool’s top-class finishing was the difference on the night. Lovren's block on Sterling's shot and the ball spinning away summed up our luck for me. Think it's fair to say that we missed Ederson as we all expected. Thought Fernandino was excellent. Also Angelino showed he's a talent with the ball. Bernardo had his best game this season for me (he's only decent performance to be honest) - great finish - seems to love playing Liverpool. Rodri and GunDog were decent. I would have hooked KDB - i'm not impressed of late. Have to assume Silva wasn't really match fit by not coming on for the last 10 minutes. Liverpool with one hand on the trophy, City battling for 2nd now with Chelsea and Leicester, interesting season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadilo Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Fantastic game and great advert for the Premiership. Two teams who want to entertain with no intention of settling for nothing less than a win. With the weakened defensive team City had out it was always going to be a big ask with the quality Liverpool had up front. That said you created enough chances to give yourself a chance. Another day Aguero and Sterling may have done better in front of goal and enough said about VAR. On the day Liverpool were clinical and the best team won. Second place is still very much yours I think. Wouldnt rule out City and Liverpool swapping prizes this year............you heard it here first ????

I agree. If Liverpool lose VVD, one of the forwards, and a couple of others maybe so but everything keeps following in to place for them. It's also hard to see anyone but City beating them (and we lost), but maybe they could draw a bunch like last season which was their downfall. Maybe the amount of fixtures will give them grief. No one is saying it's over but come on Rick they are in an amazing position and they're playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a terrible mid-table side tipped for relegation can nearly do it, no reason they can't lose a couple of games soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Sterling dropped by England for having an altercation with Joe Gomez. Decision supported by his team mates so was probably quite serious. Apparently he has apologised so hopefully the end of it. He did look like boiling over on Sunday to be honest as have never seen him that stroppy before. Looked like the crowd really got to him this time. Fell out with TAA/Gomez/Hendo (not forgetting the sneaky little stamp on VVD in injury time!). As for a post match report, I'll keep it short and sweet....Clinical in attack and resilient in defence. Add Fabinho to that and we won't lose many!

Altercation during breakfast with Sterling getting a one-match ban for grabbing Gomez neck. Personally I'm hoping Sterling kicks Gomez in the balls in training this week and gets a season ban.

Bredbury Blue Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 There's a tendency when City lose for the media / internet to see it for more than it is and try to destroy City - it's the start of the end and all that. We don't lose many but as we leave ourselves open to counterattack we do lose some. There's now the start of 'Pep is losing it', 'Pep is leaving' type <deleted>. Barney Ronay's article below tries to make this case stick. Pep's obviously leaving in the coming years - so's Klopp - but nothing I've seen to date makes me worry he's about to spit the dummy and leave. Then there's been the articles that try to make out Pep lost it in the postmatch conference, so i just took a look at on youtube. Nothing of the sort. He's just lost the biggest game of the season so far but he's actually incredibly calm, pleasant, tries to be humorous, particularly respectful and complimentary to Klopp and Liverpool, and quite rightly refuses to be drawn on the VAR incidents and refers the journo's to the referees. He explains why he chose certain players. He's hurting but what he said and how he said it certainly put a smile on my face. Well done Pep. I guess they have to write such <deleted> to sell their newspapers or attract people to their websites but it is <deleted> journalism. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/nov/11/pep-guardiola-manchester-city-exodus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
