The performances are a worry. Poor decision making throughout the team. The attack not executing basic passing in the final third, and defence/midfield playing stupid long balls all the time. No patience to try and work the ball into the box. God knows what klopp was working on during the 2 training camps
Well City have reserves that can beat United. As soon as Firmino went off, we brought on Sturridge who cant run to save his contract. Aguero goes off they bring Jesus. That is the difference. Silva goes off they bring another Silva. Heck DeBruyne has been on the bench. We now have to go on a serious run as I can assure you City are smelling blood
The best summary of that was Utd dug in and played 4-5-0. Lfc players were cowards who didn't want to take any risk. No midfielder ever turned on ball even though Utd didn't close down. It was I don't want to make a mistake not I need to influence the game.. The reality is that's bottle and attitude and it's why we only play when we get a goal.
as soon as he entered the pitch lol. well it was for me, him and origi are ****ing useless and a waste!!
Although he didn't do anything today, Origi looks much livelier and determined nowadays. Better option than the lazy disinterested Studge!
Very negative midfield to play against a weakened United team. Should have played Keita to drive at their midfield. McTominay is average at best and we should have targeted him but we let him be with an inept midfield bar Fabinho. Forwards are useless without Firmino which is worrying as we still have no replacement. Sturridge and Origi are pointless subs to have. I dunno. A draw isn't the worst result given the honeymoon period United are in, but our squad is clearly nothing close to City's and it's showing now more than ever. They need to have a complete collapse for us to have any hope of winning the league - not that I ever thought we would do this season, but I'm happy we're still in the mix, it's great to continue building from.
When Studge and Milner are on 150K each we really need to cut them off this coming window. Those are two quality player wages to strengthen the team. Lallana and Morenos wages can bring in a third quality players. Hopefully City stumble somewhere soon or we will be the ones doing the chasing
So so frustrating, all the ball and no control. As for the spin the pundits are trying: Utd down to 10 men because Rashford carrying a knock - bullshit; we brought on Sturridge who offers nothing. He was lucky he didn't injure himself seriously walking aimlessly in that 1 meter radius he didn't move from in the 2nd half. Origi was a pointless sub, again.
Yeah. That was ****ing appalling But it had 0-0 written all over it well before kick-off. We never apply ourselves in this fixture and show them too much bloody respect. It'll never change.
none of the subs made any sense to me. sturridge on who done nothing, origi on who done nothing, and didn't even give keita a chance!! then we take salah off ffs!! shaq should have been on for firmino. milner shouldn't have started and should have been taa. ****ed up all round!!!
