Liverpool v City

Looking forward to this, should be good.
Van Dyke out. City will like that, can see em winning, as usual.

I hope Liverpool win just to take the city juggernaut down a peg or 2.. doubt it though with that back 4 n dodgy keeper that the Scousers have got..

Someone made a comment about Palace targeting Pope due to his apparently bad kicking..

You'll see City do the same today.

Liverpool's record here against City is excellent. If anyone's going to beat them it will be Liverpool. Hard to see past a City win though.

I hope Liverpool win just to end the Sky hype about an unbeaten season which is pretty much all they have left since City pretty much had it won by Christmas.

1-0 the ox.

Not often I want the bin dippers to win but today is one of those days.

1-0 Scousers thanks to the ox.

Delph subbed off, he's getting torn apart on that left side.

City to spend another £50 million on a fullback this window?

RoystonVasey · Post by **RoystonVasey** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:42 pm

1-1 Sane

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:42 pm

Gomez Addams would have defended better.

1-1 Sane

What skill for the equaliser, keeper could've done better though being beaten at the post like that. Went like a rocket though. Good game this.

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:43 pm

Anyone who thinks our fullbacks are bad need to have a look at that from Gomez.

Two bites and shafted em both.

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:44 pm

It's okay for Neville and Co to say the keeper has to stop that shot from Sane but that was virtually unstoppable!

Credit the striker for a brilliant goal.

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:49 pm

That was a good first half of football.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:50 pm

Poor from full back and keeper but brilliant from Sane, some player.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:01 pm

Pep has turned Sane into a world beater, fabulous coaching.

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:02 pm

Can someone get KRBFC some tissues.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:03 pm

Difficult as it went like a bullet but he never fails to disappoint.

I tell you what though, I'd take both Heaton and Pope ahead of both Liverpool keepers.

Fabulous coaching from Pep to make the opposition fullback be caught under the ball, miss the opportunity to tackle and then the keeper throw one in.

Look at Sane's return before joining Pep, now look at it this season. Fantastic coaching

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:18 pm

2-1 Liverpool!

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:19 pm

Any chance of coaching Stones before the summer?

Barry_Chuckle · Post by **Barry_Chuckle** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:19 pm

John Stones gets done again..... a cert to be on the plane to Russia now

BOOOOOOOOM 3-1

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:20 pm

Stones is still a weak link for City. Should have been 3-1.

It is 3-1

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:20 pm

Get in... its THREE!

Was one of the better central defenders in the league before his injury, made about 3 mistakes since return.

Turned an already great looking young player into a great looking young player. Wonders never cease.

What about Stones? His coaching there has been immense.

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:22 pm

If City were going to lose a game this season it would have been this one.

Sanes return at Schalke was 11 goals in 47 games, at City he's got 11 goals in 44 games. Massive improvement under Pep

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:24 pm

Sterling is rattled.

Firminho will probably get a 2nd yellow and City will win 4-3.

Or Liverpool will have their seasonal worldy and get another 2 or 3

Stones simply isn't good enough when up against world class strikers.

Come on Liverpool, give em' a real thumping

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:26 pm

Uh oh, Pep.

Chequebook for another keeper, please.

4-1

Edison making Joe Hart look good there.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:27 pm

Fantastic finish from Salah. A poor 20 minutes from City, it was bound to happen once throughout the course of a season.

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:27 pm

Salah making 35m look a bargain

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:28 pm

I'll bet Saint Pep won't be exactly complimentary about the great football Liverpool are playing and how it's good for the game.

Largely over two seasons for both teams with an upturn this season with assists and goals - last season wasn't spectacular at City not sure of the stats per season in Germany.

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:28 pm

22 minutes to go yet.

More than enough time for Liverpool to concede 5

Exactly. Liverpool can beat anyone when they all turn up and today they are out in force.

Sane this year actually has 10 goals and 11 assists in 24 starts. The greatest return of his career, quite clearly improved on the 11 in 47 for Schalke you mention and judging by your figures he only got 2 goals last year for City. Not improved???? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA nowt like talking out of your arse

Caernarfon_Claret · Post by **Caernarfon_Claret** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:30 pm

Liverpool have drawn too many which is why they're off the pace, not lost many though.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:31 pm

Quick, Pep is losing, grab a photo and pretend he's a fraud. Fickle bunch will be back up his arse next week.......

Caernarfon_Claret · Post by **Caernarfon_Claret** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:32 pm

I wonder if Klopp will have a word with Stones at Full Time "you're better than this lad."

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:33 pm

If Klopp could sort the defence it'd make an interesting PL title race in the coming years.

That is unless Pep buy's all his best players... again.

You have to be pretty stupid to say Sane hasn't improved under Pep, f88k knows what you've been watching.
