Lovren is there and he is booked. There is hope
Premier League Matchday 21 (January 1-3)
- Thread starter Mrs Smoker
- Start date
Don't know about stats but City have been the better team by some distance.
A very Premier League like match, lot's of huffing and puffing with little quality. Hard to go from watching us to watching this.
Exactly what I thought. It would help them if he is closer to Fernandinho and build from there. Aguero has been doing his job as well as being their main striker.
City haven't done a thing that half up until the goal. Fair play, was a world class finish. Lovren having a shaky as feck game.
If you’re from Manchester and have red and blue family members, you’ll be united against the scousersAll of Manchester is behind City right now
I read some posts that completely blew my mind, my favourite being ‘City have been mesmeric’...
I mean, wtf?
Who would have thought that 3 weeks ago
Sky sports: Etihad erupts as blah blah feck off with the love in
Whoa, firmino is playing?
They've been pretty fecking average and toothless aside from a world class finish from Aguero, I don't get that talk either.
They've pressed nicely, but other than that have not played well.
Only just seen Salah's reaction to that challenge. What a twat
United under Ole would give City a proper game here. Liverpool have been really poor. Midfield is a massive weak area for them (none of their midfield would get in ours or City’s would it? I would probably take Milner though, honestly).
Hate both but at least have some respect for the scousers for being a proper club with heritage and a foundation that wasn’t built by oil and a questionable regime..

1.1 cm - no goal - love it!
Mane 1.1cm away from scoring
I agree but Lukaku had the brunt end of those stats shown to world when we went to Anfield yet I'd say Firminho could be doing even worse so far.
Its strange, the pundits are claiming this is a fantastic game but that's because of City.
They're giving Liverpool shared credit for what City are doing.
Only 1 shot on target for both sides
Yea he’s has been excellent on that sideSane is blessed with unnatural pace. Imagine if we had a right sided version of him
Souness blaming Pogba for Salah miss
I think he should save that tbh
These teams for all their 'pressing' and 'playing out from the back' - don't come close to the likes of Barca when it comes to keeping composed and playing it out from the back and retaining the ball from the press.
The pressure will get to Liverpool at some point too.
Liverpool haven't come with any intention to win by the looks of it.
Be interesting to see if they go full Klopp metal in the second half.
City have had joy on Sane's side. Lovren and TAA are not defending the area well enough.

Pretty much. Aguero is the difference. World class striker can score from nothing.
Sane has looked really danagerous to be fair.
Weird how the self proclaimed best CB in the world, could let Aguero score there.
You'd imagine he would win the ball with ease.

Neutrals choice my arse, feck them in to the ground City.

After 4 consecutive decent matches, us football connoisseurs are right to demand better quality. Next up, shouting 'hoof' when the opposition clears their lines and bemoaning sides who park the bus.
Liverpool are proving they're the better team for me - . Unlucky to be behind, anyway.
Title is going to Anfield unless their key players pick up injuries.
Cynical cnuts, mind.

Have you seen Barca play the last few seasons?
Liverpool doing the classic bus parking as can be seen by the heat maps. Hardly stepped out of their own half.
Yeah get em Squishy, always liked you!
And Sky have spent 15 minutes telling us how great its been.
John Stones position (for the Liverpool chance) is shit, he should leave the rebound for the goalie, he nearly gifts Liverpool a goal and yet the commentators STILL praise him for the clearance!
Aguerro dives, gets up and scores and the commentators don't mention the dive.
Kompany's tackle was poor (and worse than Bailly's red?), Salah jumps in the air, dives and rolls and the commentators don't mention it?
These two teams can do no fecking wrong in the media's eyes?

Oh yeah he's immense, terrifying speed. I still have nightmares from when he tore Trippier about 6 new arseholes.
Hopefully when they play us!
Me having to cheer on these bertie cnuts is on Jose for making us poo. Curse that man.
The arabs have a saying which I like.All of Manchester is behind City right now
Translated literally, its "Me against my brother, and my brother and I against our cousin."
Yet hatred for them is 'irrational'
Media love in and their fans are the only reason why no one wants them to win. Insufferable.
This. Really makes you appreciate how special Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta were as a trio. Absolutely dominated the midfield.
Not once did you worry they would miscontrol or give the ball away. Every time City play it round the back, you are waiting for the stray pass/mistake.
