Really sums em' up. Anyway I'm out. It's obvious to anyone with common sense and half a brain. 

While I also dislike Conte's tactics, there is the plan and there is the execution of the plan. It's much easier said than done.

It takes a certain set of players to execute high pressure for a 45min like Liverpool did today. Their attacking players have much higher work rate than ours and can keep on chasing and hustling the opposition.

Besides, while that prevented City from playing, and also gave them the football in good positions, Liverpool still had the quality (esp Salah) to both create and finish the chances. It doesn't matter how well you play or execute a plan if you can't finish off the chances and win the match.

What Klopp is doing with those mediocre players (except of the front 3), and what is Mourinho and conte doing... oh...

suffer without the ball... 

[FabHazard 655]

If some think our forwards have the workrate to press like Liverpool then they are deluded....Conte does employ high press in some moments in the match....We played  attacking football in barcelona's second leg.....Conte likes to have balanced style which suits best for our team..Games against Man City are the only ones i blame conte...How many times we have seen conte on touchline instructing the team to press only to be ignored?...The current team does not have stamina and workrate to do that

Oooo the magic of Anfield.

Did you here what Pep said ? 

'I know that this (the coach attack) is not Liverpool, the history of the club is much bigger than this four or five or 10 guys.'

Yeah 4 or 5 guys was it that killed 39 Italians

Beats me how we can never play like this. Ever. We never have a serious go at this kind of opponents, no matter if Mourinho, Conte, Ancelotti or anyone else is our manager. 

Why can't we have that kind of approach? 

[Special Juan 27,512]

We have fallen so far away it's untrue, teams like Liverpool and Spurs are simply so much better. I say this all in the space of 6 months.

[Blusan Alamb 295]

I thought Liverpool were a bit lucky. Some decisions went in favour of them.

[Special Juan 27,512]

I switched BT Sport on about 7:20 and saw Gerrard sat next to Frank, I immediately switched it off until 2 minutes from kick off. When I switched it back on as the players were coming out of the tunnel, and up to the point of kick off, they must of said "Special night at Anfield" ten times, makes me fucking sick hearing Liverpool constantly get bum raped by the media.

I also thought is absolute cringe worthy watching the banks of Liverpool fans outside on the streets with red flares and shotting stuff at their bus.

Fucking hate them.

We have had managers that are cautious and aren't know to be gung-ho. Let's not forget this Liverpool side lost 5-0 at City this season

 

[DDA 9,703]

I'm going to get crucified for this but I actually like the way the Pool fans were waving flares and showing the City squad that they are coming to their house. Don't get me wrong I hate Liverpool but I wish our fans showed half the passion theirs do at home. Our fans sit in the stands watching the football on their Ipads for fuck sake.

[Laylabelle 9,402]

Flags and that get...the bus bit what's the point?! Just leads to trouble and now being charged. Good job! 

Urgh Arsenal 4-1 up.. Chance they may end up in champions league after all.. Then theres us.. 

Oh well.. Not over yet... Come on! 

Or not 4-1...

Then you have to hire a manager like klopp who want to play that kind of football. It is as simple as that. You can't expect Mou, ance and Conte team do play like that because that is not their style. 

 

[Milan 17,872]

A goal in the 2nd minute is exactly what City needed.

[Laylabelle 9,402]

Would love them to turn it around but probably be to late.. Needed that away goal at Anfield really cause if Liverpool do score bit shite 

Still can hope.. 

[DDA 9,703]

We all hate Liverpool yea.. but I really don't understand why anyone would want City to win this game. They will have a very good chance of winning the competition and I for one really doesn't want that to happen. The fuckers buy anyone and everyone and have atguably the best manager in the World. I want them to fail at every last hurdle possible.

[Blusan Alamb 295]

Decisions going in favour of Pool.
