Missed the first half, but they were absolutely woeful in the second half. I don't usually buy into the Anfield nonsense but they looked shook.
Manchester City under Pep Guardiola | Pep on City v Liverpool ref: "He likes to be special"
- Thread starter Adisa
- Start date
City struggle when teams don’t back off and let them play, so what do 99% of teams do? Yup, back off and let them play.
Fair play to Klopp, he doesn’t change his tactics to play City, he just trusts his usual tactics.
feck off Pep
Probably needs another £250m.
Pep really shat the bed tactically today. You'd think he'd have a plan B against Liverpool after losing their only league game to them.

So maybe they aren't the second coming since Christ? Who'd have thought?
The pre match incident going to be blamed at all?
BBC 5live - ''Fair play to Pep, he's still sticking to his principles''. With any other manager we call this a failure to effect and change the game. 
I hope to feck we do them at weekend.
The greatest side in the history of English football do not bottle it in huge CL games.
Pep and City can do one.
Pep and City can do one.
At 3-0 it’s not over but, if City don’t go through, they will be classed alongside Arsenal’s “Invincibles” as a very good domestic side who couldn’t quite do it on the bigger stage.
Take that!
Nar, I’m a Mourinho fan but he’ll play right into Pep’s hands I feel.
I've heard this time and time again when he was in Bayern. "Well he had no other choice, some players were injured so the system he played didn't work". Play a goddamn different system then.BBC 5live - ''Fair play to Pep, he's still sticking to his principles''. With any other manager we call this a failure to effect and change the game.
He's a great tactician, but that will remain to be his ultimate weakness.

Gutless seems excessive, 16 points clear in the league must count for something?!
Clown in goal also seems too far, given he's conceded fewer than any other keep in the league too!
An English journo was on TV the other week praising Pep and slamming Jose saying he is finished in Europe because the last time he won the trophy was in 2010.
He forgot to state that the last time Pep won it was just a year later with a certain Leo Messi. He inherited a treble winning team at Bayern and couldn’t do it and has yet to do so with a hugely expensive squad at City.
Really hope Mourinho played close attention to how Liverpool played tonight and set us up to take the game to City on Thursday. Nothing to lose.
I dunno, he'll be desperate not to let them win it against us.
Nope and it shouldn't, we were shit tonight and that's it.
That incident should be dealt with separately. 3 games behind closed doors IMHO
It only tells you that the PL isn't that great and that many teams have already lost the game before playing Man City.
He's also faced about 12 shots on target over the course of the season to be fair.
I don't know but the cringe when people call him "Pep" is just...
Can't see Poop turning this game around, Salah will score 1 and then City need 5 to win.
The first goal was terrible keeping.
Their season is a massive success regardless. Anyone saying anything else is deluded. However, it just shows that all the talk about quadruple and treble were BS.
I can't even think of how Pep can get at Liverpool next week. Is it wise to take more risks and leave space open for Liverpool at the back? If anything they'd be more dangerous away from home.
What a cock up. Looks like we need Ronaldo to save us.

Lets be honest, they need to shop for few new CBs in the summer.
badly bruised for the derby. Nice
Juventus conceded three yesterday. Do they also need to shop for new CBs? Real conceded 3 against Barcelona and Spurs, maybe the same then? The only team that probably has not been at the end of a hammering this year are Barcelona and Bayern which is to say where are those CBs that all these teams apparently need?
He could come out foaming at the mouth, naked and smearing his shit all over the walls in a blind rage and the media would spin it as ''passion'' and give him props.
The worst was Kyle Walker
Whooooooosh!!
City will probably play a weakend team. Poop will rest alot of players for the CL return game.
Any time you win the PL it's a successful season. No doubt about that.
But for the money spent over the years they are total failures in the CL.
It's not as if they have been unlucky since they fell into all this oil money. They have been constantly outclassed.
Bayern lost 3-0 to PSG in the group stages which played a big part in getting rid of Carlo Ancelotti
Completely agree, they talk about him as if he's some sort of philosopher. Early in the game they praised him for telling his team to carry on attacking, they were already 2-0 DOWN!
