Haha at the suggestion that Man CIty are better than us.
Thats called a knee jerk reaction.
One week theyll batter some shit team and in the other theyll lose to other shit team.
They are very erratic and people keep mentioning Laporte. Just fecking sign another defender then. Cant see them improving much more this season.

The best player that Guardiola has ever worked with can't even get a game? :smirk:

Dont care about them at all anymore. Not winning the league.. Too far ahead for us to think about catching them. They might as well not exist.

True that. Just fun to see them struggle like with Liverpool. Hopefully we can turn it around against them in the cup. Will be bloody hard, but with a big signing in and Rashford fresh we could maybe grind our way past them.

At their best they are a level above and can play some fantastic football. This season they haven't managed to do it consistently. Liverpool on the other hand are more pragmatic and boring but have been super reliable.

As an Ireland fan I have to ask why Parrott isn't even on the bench when you haven't got a striker?
He had a small operation recently and is not quite fit yet - that and also he is frankly nowhere near ready for first team football yet.

Yea, they play prettier football at their very best. "Better", hard to say - for about two/three seasons, yes they were better than us (though last season of course was very close). But we also played very pretty football in Klopp's first couple of seasons - heavy metal and all that.

Man City, when things don't go their way, seem to fall apart a bit which is big.

Last season was pretty close overall. You won the CL, but they won 3 titles. Very close in the league.
I guess you are better to grind out results and have been insane at getting them this season.

Yep - especially that second sentence. They're great at REALLY hammering a beaten team. They won't just win 1-0 or 2-0, they'll win a very pretty 2-0 or go on to smash that same team 8-1 or something. They can't seem to overturn things against them though...

At each teams best, as much as I hate to pick one of them, I actually prefer Liverpools to watch.

All this talk of refs "going over to the monitor" this weekend. Whats the point of that?

I'd rather have an off-field ref making than call than slow the game down ever more.

Karen Bardsley who is watching the game for BT said they are making too many passes, that they just want to walk the ball into the net.

They're quite often guilty of this. Liverpool can be playing poorly, as I think they have more often this year than last, and their style can be much more direct and incisive.

We had 20 shots today in 70 minutes, more than 1 every 4 minutes... Does she want us shooting from the half way line?

You'll have to ask her that.
Its a weird criticism pundits often give us with little truth. We're losing because we're playing shite and actually shooting from pretty bad angles (at least since I got the match on screen, 2nd half).
Good overturn on the peno, would have been shocking had it stood.
