Champions League Quarter Finals (3rd - 11th April)

[Wiltord02]

People who want us to keep spending huge money of players every summer, should really pay attention.
Look at the Liverpool lineup, look at that midfield... it shows how confidence and attitude really matter, and team cohesion.

Also helps that City are playing into their hands. I bet Klopp can't believe his luck with how open City are.

 

[The Firestarter]

Every team has an off game from time to time. Don't count them out just yet.

 

[James Peril]

I don't think Liverpool have been great, except winning the ball in the middle 1/3 vs. very little competition.

First goal was offside, Ox goal was unstoppable.

3 is about right for how shit City have been, mind.

Dude, they are 3-0 up against City, have run like crazy and won all challenges, extreme tempo. They have been more than great, sadly. Still 45 minutes for City to get one or two. At 3-2, City are favorites in this tie.

 

[Kevin]

Probably one of your best ever post professor.

Thanks, a fan of you too.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Liverpool smashing them makes me realise how dreadful it would be if Liverpool won the champions league

They wouldn't. Other teams have proper defenders and midfielders. Not everyone is going to run around like headless chickens.

We need to spend on another manager

 

[Mach4]

Pep is absolutely clueless here. Is there anyone with a brain that couldn't predict what Liverpool would do? I said on here a few days ago that Liverpool have scored the most counter attack goals in the Premier League. Infact they have almost twice the number of goals from counter attacks than the next team in the rankings.

The best thing for this game would have been to sit back and soak up pressure for the first leg, then hit them when they make the inevitable mistake. City already had the advantage of playing the second leg at home. Jesus. How do you feck this up? Why would go to Liverpool and play a high line?????

 

[Klopper76]

Wijnaldum for Milner in the next 20 minutes please.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Did anything happen with West Ham when they did it to us?

They got the Olympic stadium and the rest is history

 

[Kapardin]

With Liverpool's history of blowing leads, nobody is ruling out City. Even if they get one goal, this tie remains open.

 

[Nikelesh Reddy]

I’m determined to enjoy tonight. Get rekt, City!

Yeah...Lets just enjoy watching City getting thumped...

 

[PoTMS]

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern being the remaining teams leads me to that conclusion. If you think they've a very good chance, based on them doing a job on teams that play into their hands, well then you're being daft.

Yep, I'm the daft one (!) What makes you think the teams you mentioned won't do the same and play into Liverpool's hands? All three dominate their games on the front foot.

 

[Random Task]

Time to see what this City team are made of, they haven't been in such a compromising position all season.

 

[Traub]

They wouldn't. Other teams have proper defenders and midfielders. Not everyone is going to run around like headless chickens.

I really want to believe you, but every win is a step closer for them. As Mourinho said, once you’re in the quarters, you have a chance.

 

[Scarecrow]

He really didn't make any changes?

 

[Reynoldo]

What incident pre match is Eamo talking about?

Scousers battered the city team bus before the game

 

[RedDevil@84]

Every team has an off game from time to time. Don't count them out just yet.

You forget that as Utd fans, we can laugh at Pep and City when the first half goes like this. And then we can laugh at Pool if they blow this kind of lead.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Didn't see this coming tbf. Well done Liverpool

I did to be honest but i still think City will win the tie

 

[The Firestarter]

Worst game by Sane for a while.

 

[RedDevil@84]

He really didn't make any changes?

Players rested for the all important game against Jose

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Every team has an off game from time to time. Don't count them out just yet.

Off game?

They’ve been totally outplayed

 

[Trizy]

City start the second half the same as the first: hoof ball to Sane.

 

[Ban]

Can't see City playing anything different.

 

[Shark]

We need to spend on another manager

Yeah, let's sack the manager that's won two trophies in his first season, and is potentially 5 points ahead of this amazing team with a game in hand, not to mention made them completely ineffective not too long ago. Great idea.

Yeah , great consolation.

 

[RedCurry]

Guys, there's a whole half of football game to go. If there's a team you can safely bet on imploding within a few minutes then it's liverpool.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Off game?

They’ve been totally outplayed

Again.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Tbf. Everyone expects them to

 

[Scarecrow]

Worst game by Sane for a while.

He was awful for Germany too. As was Gundogan. Neither should've been on the pitch today, let alone start the second half.

 

[kouroux]

I never said we should sack him, did I ?

 

[RonaldoVII]

Does Sane have a right foot? Genuine question.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Umtiti makes it 2-0. Actually another OG.

 

[perspective]

Is Pep stubborn or does he not think City can defend /sit back?
Who goes to a side like Liverpool away in a 2 legged tie and leaves the team this open?

And Liverpool beat them in the league, so its not like City don't know about Liverpools attacking threat.

Baffling.

He did the same with Bayern in Barcelona a few years ago. We got battered as well.

 

[Traub]

How is Sane so poor

 

[Inigo Montoya]

City getting in behind. Better organised

 

[LoneStar]

United conceded one goal in two games against this Liverpool attack. An own goal.

Liverpool's strength is immense pressing. You can't do that when the opposition give the ball to you. Pep's stupidity cost them 3 goals. Played right into their hands.

 

[Canagel]

Pep not making any changes means he's happy with the starting 11. So the players didn't perform like he planned them for?

 

[Catt]

Liverpool will net again and City will not score. Tie over.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Salah done his groin?

 

[Ishdalar]

Double own goal, what the...
