Jack Hna Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Speaking of styles there is way too much of the same style on here. It's all a bit pussified. All much of the same. No balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellydog Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Not an unfair result I suppose, but would have liked to have seen that KDB PK go in. What is this love affair that Pep has with Bernardo? The little weirdo did nothing but tap one backpass after another his entire time on the pitch. Meanwhile Foden never gets in the game. Mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Thought Liverpool started really well for around 20-25 mins, while we were poor, struggled to cope, we just couldn't get out, Gundogan and Rodri in particular were being hounded out of possession, all we could do was pass it along the backline. Another clumsy soft penalty given away; on first viewing i thought penalty, though Mane was happy to go down. Immediately preceding the Mane incident, i thought that when Sterling was fouled outside the box and and no advantage developed as he tried to play on and not go down but ended up losing control of the ball and his balance in the box due to the foul, that the ref should have gone back to the foul and given us a freekick, but no bother, it is what it is. Can see why players don't stay on their feet. At that point and based on our poor showing i thought Liverpool would go on to win it by a couple. We adjusted, worked our way back in to it, an excellent move and goal from Jesus (anyone who watches Jesus has seen that flick before several times) - he did really well to last as long as he did in his first full game back. I thought it was a handball and a penalty BASED ON CURRENT interpretation of the stupid handball law, but all of us who follow football know that it wasn't really handball as we know it - go back to 'ball to hand' = not handball, 'hand to ball' = handball. Torres wasn't in the game; played out of position upfront for two games and was great, plays in his favoured right wing position and didn't impact the game. Thought the sub of Bernardo for him later in the match was a good one as Bernardo was able to retain the ball and put some effort in to win back the lose ball. Foden should have come on when Liverpool were tiring and especially when TAA went off and Milner came on. Last 60 minutes i thought City were better team though Liverpool had short periods. Recently we've had a decent 1st half and then wilted the 2nd half (fitness?) so i was surprised that it was Liverpool who seemed to be toiling the more the game went on - they seemed to lose intensity around the time Firmino went off at the hour mark. Another missed penalty - we could do with a Salah/Yaya/Mario level penalty taker - we have missed so many over recent seasons. KDB could have put that to bed if he'd bagged it. The more i see Dias the more i like him, and he and Laporte look to be building a decent strong partnership. The unorthodox Cancelo had another good game and looks to be nailing that LB position down. I don't know why the managers were moaning about the number of substitutes that should be available to them, as they only used 3 out of the total 6 available to them in this game. Reasonably happy with our performance and the result - we didn't crumble when under pressure like we used to (without Laporte and pre-Dias), we came back in to the game well and played well in the last hour against a very team.

RickG16 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 What do you think about this Walker / Roy Keane thing guys. I found myself reading some 'touchy feely' newspaper (no pay wall) and they were bordering on outrage. Saying punditry is going down a dangerous road. IMO Keano is just being Keano. That's the way he is and I don't believe he's playing up to any kind of image... We shouldn't be asking pundits to be somebody they are not and say all the right things. Too much of that in the world now anyway. What we should do is offer balance, and since Carragher and Richards were there too I don't see the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with that kind of act (and it is an act) is that to keep it from going stale, you have to shock even more and then more again.

Just read them. Walker does have a mistake in him, but this season, and probably since project restart, Walker has been our best player, always a minimum 7/10 and often more. Voted in three times in to the PFA Team of the year says a lot. He's done very well for us. Think this guy sums it up well. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/roy-keanes-overdone-punditry-act-22978071 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in turn implies that Roy Keane is actually bothered about what the general public thinks. I can imagine him being exactly the same sat at home or watching the game with friends when no cameras are on. And isn't that what we want? With so many people on TV carefully towing the line, isn't there room for one Roy Keane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
