Obviously, but we are on an internet forum where the vast majority of us are randomers, hence why you will get the opinions of randomers. Leave the tactics to the manager, I'm sure he has a better idea than you or internet randomers

But fans attitude won't dictate the performances now, the team have to play much better.

Apparently we have an option on Cengiz

Not a central midfielder or particularly creative either. We're desperate for cover out wide though. Team needs options in the final third as Origi & Sturridge aren't that.
Need to play someone like a Keita more as 3 from Fabinho, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum lack creativity. Shaqiri hasn't played well in 2019 & is an option in there too; I'm ignoring Lallana for obvious reasons and Chamberlain as he's out injured.

He is outside right but operates across the line and he is very creative he's very very good.

Should be looking at Sancho or Depay for cover/rotation with Mane and Salah.

Sancho will go to United. Depay not good enough.

Did I say Man Citys were easier??? No, Liverpools games are still very winnable.

Every title challenging team goes through a dip in form.

Man City are also contesting the FA cup, not an easy thing to do trying to win the quadruple with the champions league being the most important of the lot.

Show a bit of backbone & character, fans like you talk their teams out of the title race.

Sarri getting the sympathy vote as a result of the weekend should ensure ye win all your games now after today with the exception of spurs & ye are playing them in April. Do this and the title will be yours.

City still have to go to old trafford and will likely have the additional focus of fighting it out in the latter stages of the FA cup & champions league.

Utter nonsense re: talking your team out of a title race. As if a post on boards has impact on the actual team whatsoever. At this point some of the delusion with regard to dip in form is mind boggling.

We are not getting Sancho.

He would cost over 100 million.

A fast forward in the 30-50m range.
Werner or a cheaper option like Gray from Leicester.

Definitely good enough as a squad option, the only of our attacking backups you could argue is better is Shaqiri.

He was absolutely ****e with United and shone in the farmers league.

Agent Coulson

Salah has 6 goals in 3 games against Watford so lets hope he has his shooting boots back on on Wednesday.



Danny Murphy thinks we should resign Coutinho.

ricero

I would happily resign Coutinho on a italianesque 2 year loan deal

He has an abundance of talent. There were moments when you'd think, oh, I get it. He has a horrible attitude however, and he can be lazy. He'd be a risk either way.

Moussa Dembele might have been a half decent option at the start of the season. Probably could have offloaded Sturridge to Brendan too in the process.

Unfortunately most people didn't expect any more from Sturridge than we ended up getting.

Could have had Messi up front yesterday and still nothing would have reached him, it all broke down before we ever created a chance. We failed to breach their back line, we had one shot on target, pretty sure it was Sturridges shot. He's no Firmino, he's a chance take, but he never had a chance to take

Hard to see past the simply things he fails to do.


Milner in left back position plays ball to Henderson, the guy is in oceans of space to turn and play ball out to the right, that was Milners thinking in passing the ball to Henderson, but Henderson passes it straight back to Milner. Milner then clearly with a WTF look on his face bypasses Henderson and passes it over to the right side himself. It's just very very annoying how the simply tasks are forever too difficult for him to do or maybe see.

Or, alternatively, it's a very basic pattern of play where you pass to midfield in order to draw attention on the midfielder, who immediately passes it back with space now open behind from the opposition being drawn to the first pass, so the first player can now play the ball into a more dangerous area with less resistance.

Not saying these things all occurred in that passage, but it's a pretty basic tactic that plays out loads of times in every game that people do instinctively at this stage. You always see strikers doing the same thing to buy themselves space in behind all the time - get passed to, pass it straight back, expect that someone has closed in behind you, so you immediately turn and go, and hope for the quick pass back again.

it's true that Hendo doesn't deviate from the playbook too much, he does exactly what Klopp has instructed him to do, maintains possession, and uses his movement to open space for others to work in. And Klopp generally loves him for it.

In the last 24 hpurs its been 60% sturridge, 20%salah,20% mané, mane is certaily not getting roasted

“Manchester United is one of the toughest challenges you’ll face, especially away, in a season, and we’ve come through that with a point and that’s fine.

“We’ve got big tests coming up, Watford just beat Cardiff 5-1 so that’s not going to be an easy game, and then obviously we’ve got the derby.

“It’s a big week so we need to recover now and then look forward to Wednesday and hopefully we can be a bit more clinical with the last pass.”

He was very young though... look how Zaha developed after leaving Utd, or Salah after leaving Chelsea.

He may or may not do as well if he returned to the league, but its always a dangerous game to be writing off players because of form in a new country at 22.

rob316

The Brodge is heading back to the premier league, look forward to seen him back.

gimli2112

Leicester I guess, potentially a good move for him. They have been firing managers quite regularly recently but who hasn't? Interesting to see how he deals with the senior players he seemed to get on ok with ours.

Think it's a great job for him, the best you could get outside the top 6 and he ain't getting one of those jobs for now.
Nice squad there with a bit of money to spend.

Wonder who’ll make it into the coveted three envelopes? My money’s on Schmeichel, Vardy and that lad with the giant afro.

Man City v Leicester City is the 2nd last game of the season...

Agent Rafa and Agent Roy have done their part

That's the joke, Sterling said that to Rodgers.

1.30 today for the press conference, Watford and Bobby's injury on the agenda.

Hope he does well. Leicester probably a decent fit for him

Bild are reporting that Brandt's release clause is 25m, which is nuts. Kicker apparently reported similar yesterday, saying it was the only way they could get Brandt to extend his contract last year.

Klopp was in for him before, by all accounts, so interesting if the club goes back for him. I'd love for us to get him.

Theres a huge amount to be said for that. Anyone who has coached other people at anything will attest to how annoying it is when you have an idea, tell them exactly what to do, they agree and then go do soemthing totally ****ing different.

Agent Coulson

Keita and TAA to start as Klopp rings in changes according to Pearce.

Good stuff, rest him up for tomorrow and then unleash him on woodison.

Agent Coulson

£22m on Brandt would be a great bargain when you consider Sancho who has pretty much the same stats would cost £100m and Brandt has been doing it consistently for 5 seasons at this stage and he is only 22.

Agent Coulson

Keita ruled out of training due to illness and will be assessed before the game tomorrow to see if he is ok.

What the f*ck is going on with all the illnesses lately??

It'll probably help that he's inheriting a fairly settled and solid defence.

He's actually got the basis of a very good squad there, once there's no major departures.

Schmeichel, Pereira, Maguire, Evans, Chilwell, Ndidi, Choudhury, Maddison, Barnes, Gray, Vardy and, potentially, Iheanacho is a good starting point. Add another good winger and maybe a bit of depth in one or two positions and they could easily be the best of the rest...

Big thing for him is to keep the big personalities happy. If Vardy and Schmeichel turn on him, it'd be very difficult to keep the fans and other players onside.

I'd say he will probably look up the road and strip 1 or 2.
