Firminos been offside quite a bit......nice to see some running in behind defence though

mightyreds

What tracking from flanagan

Francie Barrett

Flanno is basically just flattening anything that moves tonight. I love it.

Delighted!

Great response from Sunday. Klopps changes working well.

That replay is pretty damning of Mignolet, only starting to dive when Milner chested it.

Harry Palmr

Flanno is the embodiment of the local kid playing for his team. I'm not sure why he isn't already luxuriating in a new contract.

marklazarcovic

firminho needs to play quicker,gets caught with the ball a fair bit,does good things though aswell,embarrassing lead really :P

He's been pretty poor tonight.

Good head on his shoulders but he's been exposed a few times and caught in possession, which is just a total disaster for a fullback in his own half.

Absolutely wretched from us tonight. Second to every ball, Liverpool showing far more commitment and energy. We'll do well to hold them to 2. Too many of these substandard performances this season.

:mad:

This league is so awful that a win tonight and a few more decent results could see Liverpool right back in the frame for fourth place.

Pellegrini is being pissed on by his players though, so many frauds out there that don't look like they could even give half a sh1te.

Would be one of his biggest critics but can only really remember 1 time where he was caught out in possession, and one great interception to prevent a chance for sterling.

Edit: Forgot about the free kick.

Who is Liverpool's game in hand against? Possibly only 3 points off the top 4 if they win that one now.

That kinda talk never bodes well.

Osmosis Jones

Do you think if we throw the game and let City win Pellegrini will let the lads get some photos with the Cup?

Pyjamarama

Flanno bails in and gives away a free... fair play lad! Passion.

Moreno gets forward to offer support, midfielder loses the ball, uses pace to get back but gives away a free. Braindead.

I do wonder if he wasnt a local lad would anyone think he was any good at all.

super_furry

Sterling off. Ouch.

It's the only way we're likely to get anything from tonight!

Flano tracks back 40 yards to get in a great position to stop definite goal. Good defending

Moreno not so good.

Its like your upset that some people do not rate Moreno.....

If city can get one back, liverpool will cave in as usual.

Osmosis Jones

Flanagan's attacking play is also arguable better than Moreno, look at that pass!

It's funny how some big name departures never really did wel when playing against us.

Owen, Torres and now Sterling (I know it's only 2.5 games) spring to mind.

We've found Mrs Moreno's boards account anyway.

Needless from Lallana, we had the ball

Not rating him is fine, I think he's good, not great by any means. But the slating he gets annoys me. Its constant and imo unwarranted. I didn't like it when it was Lovren either... Mignolet deserves it tho.

Why do you insist with this about Moreno?

He's a poor defender and attacker, look at his assist and goalscoring record.

Why would Irish fans care if he's foreign or local?

Flanagan is way ahead of him as a defender and attacking threat when fully fit.

Way ahead of him as an attacking threat is a bit of a stretch if we are being fair.....

murpho999

Liverpool looking very comfortable so far. Surprised at City.

This is the Milner we expected from the start. Only took 25 games.

Adapting to the PL. Should have bought PL proven.

Lallana is playing well tonight..

You've obviously seen more of Joe Hart than i have, is it just me who thinks he's so poor at getting down to his near post? I've seen him concede so many silly goals in that fashion.

Its hardly like i'm the only one talking about Moreno, every second post seems to be about him.

Irish fans care because he's a local lad, i care because he's a local lad. There's an element of romance in it.

I personally think that Moreno is a far better attacking option (have people forgot how bad Flannos crosses are in his absence) and has pace which we basically don't have apart from him and I think the pace is needed to stretch teams. But there's no denying that Flanno is a better defender.

Disagree, his passing is much better, don't mind those long runs Moreno does every 25 games.

mada999

Flanno playing well in parts...making a few mistakes in possession but is tidy too... His aggression is causing them a lot of problems imo... striking a bit of fear into them

Osmosis Jones

Moreno's pace doesn't matter because his starting position is so ridiculously high anyway. Yous think if he could run that fast he'd start further back.

I thought his foot slipped when he was diving, maybe i'm giving him too much credit though

He has pace at times but does nothing with it. Really he hardly ever stretches opponents defence and he is not missed tonight in anyway.

Pyjamarama

Boom!!! Title is ours I reckon.

Kirby

Very nice goal.

Where has this Lalana kid come from?

Klopp said he rested him after the final. Good decision.

Flanno is only ok at going forward......not sure how passing competently now means he's an attacking threat, its not like he ever takes a player on or chips in with assists and goals frequently.....

Sexy!
