City are so lucky the way teams forget how to score when free in front of goal.

We are lightyears away from this, we can barely keep up the tempo for one half let alone this end to end stuff

I long for the day that we’re involved in these gargantuan games, but another part of me wonders how my nerves ever coped with it all. :lol:

Klopp unfortunately is making ETH look really bad.

Bus parking and countering plays into city's hands. They are comfortable playing against that.

Klopp goes after them. Do it well and they get flustered and panick.

Hopefully INEOS are looking at the latest cutting edge technology on blood bags/inhalers like these two.

There must be a day soon when we can play against these teams as equals and go toe to toe, surely? It’s so depressing watching Liverpool lay siege to this Man City team whilst missing half their first team.

Doku seemed to be looking for his shirt before being subbed on. How is that possible?

I don't think we need to involve Klopp to for us to know that ETH is bad. He makes himself look bad all by himself but I get what you mean.

I mean we are soooo far off Liverpool, but this doesn’t really track. Liverpool are a much better side and they’re also at home.

De Bruyne has no-one to blame but himself. He was not good at all today.

Shows the importance of having direction and structure around the club.

Liverpool have an injury problem right now but they can slot in players and still play to a high enough standard because those players already know how to play in the system, they're not learning on the job.

Of course we will.

I’ve already signed up to have my body cryogenically frozen and asked them to wake me up in 200 years. Should be caught up by then, just.

Tbf not even the current Arsenal could've gone toe to toe with the 2018-2020 editions of these teams. Arsenal just waited and built their team while these two regressed a bit and are now taking their chance with aplomb. We've to grab the opportunity once Klopp and Pep both are gone.

Yep. We act like a small club against the big teams, it's disgusting. Pep gives Liverpool too much respect they're like city where if you get at them it rattles them

Same as ETH preferring to cling to a 1 up lead, rather than try and hammer teams, look at Liverpool in midweek in the Europa

I hate our small club mentality

That’s because Klopp knows his players will give him 100%. You will get slaughtered if you press City without 100% commitment.

We'd have gotten thrashed by at least 4 if we tried to take the game to City. Our only chance was bus parking and countering. Rashford had multiple chances to put us further ahead in the early parts of the game.
