Bredbury Blue Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Nervy game; glad that's over. Feels like 2 points thrown away. Edited October 7, 2018 by Bredbury Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'd have settled for one point before the game, so I'll try to put that Mahrez bottle rocket out of my mind. Heck of a defensive effort from City, and came close to bossing the second half. Bernardo and Fernandinho stood out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 ...and Stones and LaPorte. Guess after our horrendous record there we should see the positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think I nominated Ederson to take PKs before on this thread. I do so again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, Sane or Silva (s) should have stepped up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Mahrez has now missed five of his last eight penalties Balotelli and Yaya were brilliant penalty takers. Since then weve been a bit so so at penalties. In the current crop Gundogan has a 6 from 6 record but doesn't always start. Aguro misses. It's a problem area for us.

Bredbury Blue Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Bbc gave Bernardo MOM. After we weathered the first 10 mins pressure of each half i thought we were the better team and played a smart game - an unlike Pep disciplined game instead of leaving ourselves open trying to win it game like he usually does. Just read we had 51%; the lowest possession in a game under Pep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Think Pep got the tactics right yesterday. Team selection he got right apart from Mahrez in at Sane's expense meaning Sterling was less effective on the left. Back 4 and midfield were great. More of that in tough crucial games please.

mrbojangles Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Aguero and DeBruyne both nominated for the Ballon D’Or. Highly unlikely either will win but still nice to be nominated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 official Dermot Gallagher has claimed that Sergio Aguero should have won a penalty for Manchester City against Liverpool. Aguero went down under a challenge fromDejan Lovren during the first half of Sunday's Premier League fixture at Anfield, but the referee waved play on after deeming that Lovren had not fouled the Argentine. However, Gallagher has suggested that Aguero was penalised for a desire to keep hold of the ball in the penalty area having quickly got back to his feet.

Rc2702 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I reckon this title race will be closer than ever and arsenal will make up ground this year. They have two forwards enjoying their footy. I think they will Finnish above Spurs. Chelsea I agree with shearer, if hazard goes awol or injured they could freefall. Spurs I reckon will freefall. United I'm not sure about, that last win could propel them. As an LFC fan I'm not enjoying the footy I'm seeing but I'm pleased with where we are at on all fronts and just hope we start clicking into gear soon.

I like Pellegrini too but Chelsea are well sorted at the moment and their boss and Sarri ain’t going anywhere soon with the start he’s had. After which time Manuel will be retired or pushing up daisies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Maybe we should have kept Yaya on our 'roster' as our 'specialist penalty taker' for the couple of penalties per year we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
