Uf hopefully this goal will make City play even more. I really want them to win this.

Wish we could attack as relentlessly as Liverpool do.

If Liverpool win today, we can only blame ourselves. Also we currently at the moment, do not deserve to be above Liverpool. Their attacking football is miles ahead of ours.

Ya definitely. If they had a better defence they'd be miles ahead of us. 

I remember when we could pass the ball... 

Shame about who scored! 

[Pizy 18,515]

That's a ridiculous strike from Sané.

Poor goalkeeping!

[Special Juan 27,513]

He anticipated Sane going across him, he takes half a skip to his left and from that point he is easily beaten at his near post.

[manpe 10,861]

Sane reminds me of what I'd hoped Willian to be.

[Pizy 18,515]

Poor keeping yes, but still pinpoint accurate. Probably the only place he could've scored.

Sucks watching other teams doing things that we simply aren't capable of with our personnel. The relentlessness of the attacking play, the ridiculous production City are getting from both wide players, the ease with which both of these clubs can pop the ball around. 

Whereas we look so ponderous and stale.

[Laylabelle 9,403]

It's like how we used to be... And now we're just slow and can't pass to the right players.. Unless it's going back to the goalie

Highlights a fundamental difference in the 2 clubs at the moment.  Liverpool don't spend a ton of money (net) but they get the right kind of players that the manager needs.  Build the squad around what he's looking to do.

We get players in, then ask the manager to make a 3* Michelin meal out of whatever's in the fridge.

Liverpool are playing soo well. 

[Laylabelle 9,403]

3-1...down the table we go.... 

[Pizy 18,515]

Pressing, pressing, pressing. Relentless energy. You can make up for not having world class players by being well coached.

Liverpool & Spuds now gaining serious momentum right when we are crumbling. Both scoring at will while we can't buy a goal.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

City aren't too special without Silva.

[Laylabelle 9,403]

Dread playing these 2 again.. How did we draw with Liverpool?! That definitely ain't happening again

[Pizy 18,515]

Liverpool still have 160m to fill holes in their squad as well.

[DDA 9,702]

That must be that revolutionizing goalkeeing they were all talking about! 😂😂
