Not sure what game some people watched but Doku did fuck all. If sprinting into space and dribbling the ball out for a goal kick or smashing it into the first defender is a world class performance then wilfred zaha is the best winger in the world

Yeah, get the highest match rating of any player from Opta by doing “fuck all”.

He’s going to be a better player but the praise for this performance reminds me a lot of Adama Traore’s early Wolves days. He was absolutely unplayable and a menace every time he stepped on the pitch, and finished the season with 1 goal and 3 assists.

Why are 12 30 games a little less energetic? Just because it's earlier people are a bit less awake?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Something to do with it generally but this was off the back of internationals so half of them will have played a lot of football, travelled for a full day and are jet lagged

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Klopp said they had one session, can’t imagine City were any different.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

People are so desperate for a narrative on the Doku Trent battle when in truth Trent was fine and Doku made a few nice twist and turns without much end product.

Bore off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Hmm I did not create any chaos today. Better randomly go shit on their manager. Just because.

Good result for us tbh, didn’t feel like we were gonna get anything from the game and probably deservedly so. We just looked so disjointed.

Chanting feed the scouser all match and then get shushed by the scouser equalizing. You fucking love to see it.

Matip has to be one of the most underrated PL defenders in the last 10 years

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Matip is the closest I see to What Stones does for us. If he played for us he would've been insane next to Rodri in my eyes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I'm a big fan. A great defender and also I love the way he takes the game on with his runs down the middle.

A draw at the Etihad is always a good result

Pretty dull match but fair result for both. Both teams played quite defensive instead of going for goals.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Perfect result for us provided we win tonight.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Doku is a monster 1v1, so how come there were so many instances (especially at the end) where Liverpool allowed City players time to ping him diagonally? That didn’t make sense to me

Stones > Dias

If you want the best product possible you don't put one of the biggest games of the season on at 12:30 after an international break.

We looked tired today; it's almost like half our players just flew in a couple of days ago (conveniently a bunch of City players got a nice little holiday after faking injuries).

Premier League played themselves.

Happily take a draw poor game from most of our players so flat upfront today and an uncharacteristic poor performance from Ali

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

He always has a mare against city

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Puttting this game after the international break on a 12:30 ko is fucking criminal. Both teams far from their best

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, his control and dribbling is so good, once he gets the end pass/shooting in, what a dangerous player

Dribbled past 7 times and MotM is insane

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It was the early start time, or it would have been only 6 times, lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Goals make difference not dribbles

Why are so many people complaining about City players “faking” international duty injuries. I thought this sub collectively agreed that players are being played way too many games. Why tf do you care if they skip a friendly all of a sudden

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

this might be the worst argument I’ve seen since “if global warming is real, why is it snowing” , of course people would care that their opponents are skipping games days before playing them???

Liverpool got fucking lucky. Loved how Liverpool fans were hyping their players scoring against trash teams during the break, lol.
