Liverpool v Manchester City

mike65

And so another inury to Agger. Greek Fella warming up.

Xavi6

What a keeper. Nasty one for Agger, though his loss would be good for us.

SlickRic

wow barry could've taken that down, done a dance, and done what he wanted with it such was the time he had.

mike65

FFS,

The Muppet

Looking bad for babel

everdead.ie

Could be another sub on now

machiavellianme

This could be a long afternoon with the amount of injuries the pool are taking

Xavi6

Pass of the season so far from Kuyt. Superb. De Jong gettin stuck in

wicklowdub

get the placentas ready

Johnny_the_fox

shame babel started quite brightly.

mike65

So then two subs in 20 mins. I'm waiting for a piano to come down on Reinas goal.

Yossi on.

After starting brightly this is going bad for Liverpool,

2 subs gone and carragher on a yellow.

SlickRic

Ade wasn't offside, but he didn't do anything with it anyways,

both defenses are really terrible

everdead.ie

liverpool really looking like france on wed so many missed passes

PHB

Has anyone else been very impressed with Zabelta today?

Hoki

whats he had to do, nick the ball off ngogs toe once or twice? we look a team horribly short in confidence

nkay1985

Who's the co-commentator on Sky Sports 2? Did everyone else hear him saying how Mascherano has a wide array of passes, mush like Alsonso? :eek:

More importantly, does he realise he's commentating on the sailing?

mike65

I'd change the shape, go 4-4-2 with Kuyt and push Gerrard right, or keep formation and move Gerrard left and Yossi in the middle.

Hoki

Martin Tyler & Andy Gray i think

Theresalwaysone

Horrible game of football altogether.

Liverpool are the only team trying to play. City are intent on booting it away at all times which is pretty bad since when they do play with it a bit they find gaps.

Ah, I guess the stream I'm watching is not that clear! It's *something* Sports 2 anyway and that something begins with an 'S'.

Anyway, ridiculous comment!

this.

Blame injuries and Man Cities total (arse) football for that. 250 million for defending deep.

Eire-Dearg

Worst half of football I've seen all season. Can't believe City are happy to have everyone bar Adebayor behind the ball.

KevIRL

urrrgh what a rubbish game.

I hope there are no calls for that first half to be replayed

D2D

So, a long 1st half and an awful game of football.

Liverpool are the only side that seem to look like scoring. 2 bad injuries have hamperd us(again).

Man City play the most defensive football. It's basically everyone but Ade behind the ball. When they actually get the ball, it's booted away




Agger just before he went on the stretcher

nkay1985

That is the most boring half of football I've seen in a very long time. Just nothing happening.

City seem like they've been told to keep a clean sheet at all costs and aren't playing at all. I wouldn't mind but they've had some joy when they've actually attacked. With Kyriakos at centre half, Liverpool could be there for the taking.

Hope they change it up at half time or else we'll just have more of the same; City defending deep, Liverpool trying to break them down but lacking the spark that's needed.

The Muppet

Hoping for a better second half.

Raskolnikov

Painful football.

D2D

Just seen this on the BBC live-update:

"Only entertaining moment so far in this game was the referee's face when he dropped his cards. Stunningly awful."

Chardee MacDennis

Skrtel you beaut...

Melion

Always likely to pop up with a goal though

Id bring Aquilani on for Lucas who has been quiet today

~Rebel~

Very deserved goal for pool. surprised how little city have tried to play thus far. could see pool get few more when city need to put more men forward

monkey9

Good to see Skrtel get off the mark. He has scored a few for Slovakia from set pieces!!

He seems intent on playing a bit of ball today. He's been all over the field
