Liverpool vs Man City, 17:30, BT Sports 1

BorneTobyWilde

Will Clyne ever become a scorer, he gets chances like that 20 times a season.

I loved before the game when I think it was Micheal Owen described Pep's teams as "organised". They look awful organised already in the second half.

Yeah, they can't be as predictable and poor this half, you would think.

BorneTobyWilde

Klopp will have told players he expects City to improve and to improve themselves and not allow them into game.

GavRedKing

Thats a small warning sign.

City and Aguero are still very much a threat.

happyoutscan

Work rate is phenomenal.

machiavellianme

Bobby F having a mare

Osmosis Jones

Lots of loose balls in midfield now

Mr. FoggPatches

Hope he doesn't wait too long to get sturidge or origi on.
Preferably both.

blueser

An actual shot by us. Christ.
:eek:

Liverpool are destroying them

kingshankly

Origi for firmino please

RobertKK

City are starting to work their way into this game, but luckily for them it is only 1-0.

Osmosis Jones

Far too sloppy now, Can and Wijnaldum playing too far forward, relying on Lovren to pass it a lot.

OwaynOTT

Firmino's touch is miserable tonight, is he drunk?

GavRedKing

City doing better now.

daingeanrob

we are looking to be more defensive, city coming in to this. need a win

BorneTobyWilde

City pressing us now

Osmosis Jones

Some really pathetic passing here

Slattsy

No one in the middle for us.

RobertKK

The passing leaves a lot to be desired.

BorneTobyWilde

Crowd woke up
need them now

Luckily? At HT, there'd only been one shot on target between the two sides. We deserve to be behind, no doubt. But if there's only one shot on target, how can it be lucky to be only 1 behind. Possession means nothing, as we found out against 'Boro, Saints and Everton.

Harry Palmr

Some shocking passing by all sides, time for Origi I think,

Osmosis Jones

Change is needed I feel

Because Firmino messed up two glorious chances that you'd expect him to do a lot better at. Sometimes chances don't appear on the stat sheet.

Silva moved more central, seems to be working a bit better

However I'd argue that the quality on show from both sides is poor, some woeful passing and individual errors

Not been a good game to watch

Because Firmino made a shambles of 2 very good goal chances in the first half.

Bobby doesn't have shooting boots on tonight seemingly.

Well this is a weird sub. Game might be won or lost on it.

Offside rule is broken

Yes. I get what you are saying, but one could argue City were lucky they just had one shot on target...
City have woken up and I think a leveller is coming.

BorneTobyWilde

Firmino played a trick on himself there

Osmosis Jones

Wrong pass Mane, Origi was in.

Agent Coulson

When listening to Glenn Hoodle on commentaries I often wonder what I did in another life to deserve this.

citytillidie

Liverpool are getting nothing from this ref Man City getting everything

Osmosis Jones

Can't touch them without a freekick

NukaCola

Firmino's not at it today....

Osmosis Jones

Firmino clearly fouled by Kolarov

monkey9

Wijnaldum has been a super signing. He's so good.

Hendo must be injured.

Well; is that us being lucky, or Firmino being poor? We can't control what Firmino does. Certainly not with our defence!

Osmosis Jones

How is the linesman not seeing that? it's out of play by his feet.

theoneeyedman

Biggest difference since halftime is referee is giving all the 50 50 stuff to city, and none to Liverpool. Poulson having a very poor 2nd half

Ordinary man

Liverpool are better at parking the bus than they get credit for

Totally agree Mane gets all the praise but Wijnaldum been the Liverpool signing of the summer for me he makes everything tick.

Yeah, both of these teams will finish in the top four. Quality of passing, in particular, has been poor for that level.
