BangrakBob Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 What a great run, particularly over the festive period which made this game a free hit. Just a shame Klopp didn’t go for it with an attacking midfield. Played City home and away and a good run of fixtures to come. You’d have taken 4 points clear at the beginning of December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTrip Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 That game could have gone either way, very evenly matched teams and great to watch. Didn’t think there would be 22 players left on the pitch at the end though, some juicy tackles from both sides.

BangrakBob Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 City's midfield bossed it, more desire. We went back to the old system and trusty midfield but it's not quick or attacking enough, chance missed to have a go there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have so much cover for injuries it's stupid. Bernardo Silva has an incredible engine and of course Fernandinho who you might have wanted to stick the boot on because the difference to City when he's not playing is very visible and there lies the flaw or as close as you are going to get to one. (You are all aware of my views of their full backs which were immediately exposed in his absence.) Then throw in the others available and its just mental. I totally agree with Neville when he said both Liverpool and City are on a different level to Spurs and i don't buy into the "well look at the table" crap. We're merely punching above our weight and have nowhere near the strengths of City and to a slightly lesser extent Liverpool. We can lay claim to possibly being the best of the rest but we'll see. Liverpool proved that head to head they are a match for City but is there the squad depth to match them? Regards the game i thought City showed why they are champions and Liverpool were slightly unlucky with the rub of the green, but as i've said, that game was played at a slightly different level. City's main strength lies in their phenomenal depth which will kick in more and more as the season progresses. I would expect them to try and get cover for Fernandinho though. What did you pay for Robertson btw? 8m!! When i see what City have paid for their left and right side i think their scouts needs a hefty kick in the <deleted>!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they didn't, it was a game won and lost on the basis of very fine margins but can you imagine the press and this forum if we had lost a game like that!!! other sides lose games, we bottle it. All that Spursy rubbish that Pochettino has proven to be such a stupid empty slogan and i for one an so bored with it and its total lack of imagination. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserved it is all, and lets face it, they are rather good. No european team is going to want to play either of you in the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just wished we’d went with a bit more of an attacking set-up as we had the points space. That said, we had 3 shots cleared off the line and a spectacularly Aguero finish did it. So perhaps a bit harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World class that was. That and the human engine that is Bernardo Silva. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Dom Solanke off to Bournemouth for 19 million. No idea how much we paid Chelsea for him but probably not more than 5m. Could argue he never had a run in the side but to be fair, he didn't over impress me when he did play. Rhian Brewster will be fit soon. Nearly 3 years younger and looks a better prospect. Not to mention Glatzel and Duncan coming through. Clyne also gone to AFCB on loan. Edited January 5, 2019 by wilai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackjam Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just a few observations from Brighton game, Henderson is not dynamic for this set up, too negative. Shaqiri is not on same wavelength as most others. Both are off the pace of this well oiled machine. Have Liverpool got anyone in this window? Is Ox still injured?

I thought Henderson had a good game, I often don't and agree with your point but against Brighton I thought he managed the game well. No incomings as yet, only out.

I actually enjoy Robertson's style a bit more, old school terrier-like and he defends better than TAA. TAA is suspect on the turn, going forward he is fantastic, bearing in mind his age, he is incredible. He was supposed to be destined for a central midfield attacking role which I think he would really excel in, but I'm not sure he will get a chance there with more incoming midfield talent in the summer.
