Has Ngog or Torres passed it to each other yet?

One lovely little move early on.

Raskolnikov

If I was a Liverpool fan, I would be very, very worried. When you look at the two teams, it's now completely clear that in just about every position, Man City are superior. Also, I have to say it's quite funny listening to Liverpool supporters downplay Mascherano. After Torres (when on form) and Gerrard (when arsed), he was the third best player at the club. Now he's gone, Man City are just totally bossing their midfield, there's just no one there who can put their foot on the game.

I feel sorry for Hodgson here. The fans will be calling for his head when he inevitably doesn't deliver on 4th place, even though he doesn't have the team or the funds to do it.

Right here we go, second half...Believe.

Sorry I misread your "Please this embarassing" earlier on as a sleight on mike65's suggestions.

That has to be the way to go. Completely outplayed in the middle.

No, i meant it was embarrasing how we were being outplayed.

Look at the ground he's covering Kess.

He's in there on in his own. I can't mention the reason why,apparently for fear of exposing a ****e player for being utterly ****e.

Yeah it is the fault of Lucas that Gerrard looks crap again today. Maybe that excuse can cover him for all of last season too. Looks more to me that the more limited Lucas is trying to do the legwork and the captain is doing his usual.

In terms of him and Lucas tonight, you would be hard pressed to tell which was the player with the big reputation and which was the more limited player.


Letting Alonso go was the worst mistake by the club in years. At least with Xabi we had a top class CM who could set a tempo and bring others into the game, even when his own game was not at 100%

Jovanovic has been the most impressive Liverpool player so far.

Looked no good to me tbh.

Masch third best? You have left out Pepe who is easily on par with Torres in terms of importance to the team.

Reina's a good player, but a quality central midfield is always going to be more important than a quality 'keeper.

That last pass from Gerrard typifies(is this a word) why he shouldn't be in the centre.

A 40 yard ball which bounces into the keepers hands.

Roy, sort it out.

Kess73

Better by Liverpool now.

Xavi6

We're too deep at the moment. Dangerous to be sitting back already.

Man marking, hey?? :rolleyes:

Kess73

This could be bad.

Raskolnikov

Micah Richards is hilarious. One week he's a complete sham of a player, the next week he's world class.

Guy:Incognito

Lucas caught ball watching.

Tevez backtracked then moved forward, Lucas followed him then just stood when Tevez went forward.

Reina :mad:

Careful now;)

Raskolnikov

Nothing in that, Torres just fell over.

Quandary

Wow - Hart take a bow

therokerroar

Torres is certainly the softest player in the Premier League.

Xavi6

Joe Hart you hero

ntlbell

what a keeper :mad:

SK1979

Take a bow Joe Hart...

monkey9

Bye bye Shay. That was truly brilliant from Hart

_Bella_

Great from Hart there

KittyeeTrix

FFS, our City/Liverpool house went mad there watching that goal line scramble:eek::D

Kess73

Great stuff by Hart, I thought the follow up was going in.

wixfjord

Torres is going down so easily.

ntlbell

kyut adds to his all time offside record

Torres being kicked about the place
