listening to BBC5live, pundit saying he has never seen a game like it
Premier League Matchday 21 (January 1-3)
- Thread starter Mrs Smoker
- Start date
I thought we were really good tonight. Well done, everybody.
So good you said it twice?
Nothing like a good bit of nostalgic history.
I said, I said, nothing like a good bit of nostalgic history.
A huge part now will be if City can keep their most important players fit and if Liverpool will have to go for a period without a couple of theirs. With KDB's form last year I'd be inclined to think that City may have picked up a few more points by now if he had been available for even a few more games.
Yep. He's by her side like a dog.
There was a reason Etihad was full tonight and the loud away supporters could hardly be heard all game. You all pulled together as a united city. The United of Manchester. I said that earlier but got misunderstood.
Which is nonsense. These types of games went on every season when the PL was at it's peak. The only way you say that is if you are emotionally invested in the result, which would add a little extra to the game.
"There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves us
And after all, you're just Pep Guardiola is my idol"

Did he also mention it was his first time watching a football match?
Watford and Bournemouth arguably put on a way better game of football just yesterday!
Definitely this. It's City's to lose. They shouldn't bottle it from here. Our luck has run dry.
She can do better than Giggs and Hargreaves but you got to put some effort in.
Great game of football. Sloppy from Lovren for both goals but not calamitous, Aguero and Sane still had a lot to do, needed two brilliant finishes. Never seen City work this hard for a win before. Fine margins eh?
Over the next couple of months we'll see what this Liverpool team is really made of.

Just saw the league table, United's goal difference... not a bad improvement in 2 weeks.
If ours is nostalgic then yours is prehistoric.
She needs to move back here first. Not gonna waste time on someone living in England!
The way we are improving, we can beat anyone.
This is so bizarre. You're 4 points clear with most of your hardest fixtures out of the way, it's clearly still your title to lose.
**** providing they're a team battling relegation
i'm kidding you're playing well please don't murder me
Who's she?
Supporting City today was really pathetic from most of you.. It doesn't affect United in anyway.. Just sad
I can see City winning at Old Trafford and Everton away as well as Chelsea and Spurs at home. I can definitely see Liverpool losing at Old Trafford and dropping points at Everton away, Chelsea and Spurs at home.
If Liverpool even got a draw it would have further dented City mentality and belief after 3 losses in 4 games but now I'm sure they this is gonna give them the belief to go on and win it. They know in the back of their minds that the beat their closest challengers at home and could have won it away. Liverpool will know that they couldn't beat City this season.
This would dent Liverpool's momentum now...feel this would affect them and they would drop points after this.
From a Liverpool fan, like I said before, if Liverpool got a win or draw, I believed that Liverpool will win the title but if City won it, I feel City will win the title.
I’ll offer another point of view. City have already lost to Leicester and Palace, and drew with Wolves. We’ve won all of our games against sides outside the top six.
They could drop more points to sides further down in the table. We might not.
Yes. Game was great though, few details decide it, for me was Bernardo Silva and Fernandinho for City, they were absolute un real it felt like they are on steroids or something.
Great game of football. Hopefully this is one of many points Liverpool drop this season.
You missed my point. City are a side that is capable of going on a winning run of 3-4 months now. They dropped those points in a short period of time and honestly I feel that poor run for them is over now. They already had their dip in form and if they didn't win today Liverpool could have really put a dagger in it. Now it's Liverpool's turn of that drop in form and let's see how they react.
Honestly, I could Liverpool losing at OT and Everton and maybe drawing Chelsea at home and City going on a massive winning run. They have the belief now.
It absolutely directly affects the lives of those fans who BLEED red. Our historically biggest rivals, Pool, just lost their undefeated season bid and it didn’t matter who did it. Celebrating the defeat of your hated rival is one of the most footy things in football.
Living up to your name
Yeah I enjoyed the CL final in 2008. Hope you enjoyed a few months of being a relevant football club.
I can only assume anyone saying this hasn't grown up in northern England and doesn't know what it's like having scouse supporting mates all their life, or realises what the media love in will be like here.
Very interesting match to watch although not in a conventional exciting manner. It seemed Pep settled on planning to stop Liverpool from scoring even going as far as sacrificing his own teams offensive capabilities. He abandoned their patterns of play and instead of the fullbacks coming into midield they stayed in position obviously to limit Salah from running into the channel.
The strangest part about all this is seeing a pragmatic side to Pep which is a rarity.
btw that match tells us that when all teams upgrade to that level of intensity we'll be in for some cagey affairs.
What was disappointing from Pool was how they were completely unable to bother City when building up from deep. Klopp seemed very cautious and unwilling to comit enough men to the press. Ultimately cost him the result IMO.
Someone explain to me how Lovren manages to keep a job at Pool despite proving his Incompetence time and time again. Having him and TAA on one side is the sort of fine details that cost sides big matches.
btw just how mediocre is that Pool midfield with the ball? I swear you never see them do anything that could remotely be described as creative. Under pressure the constantly wilt. if they can turn the ball over and find an attacker quickly they are pointless.

That Kompany tackle on Salah should have been a red. Pep's tirade on the 4th official should have seen him go off or something. City gets away with murder.
Just watching the highlights - the one where Mane hits the post, isn't he taken out by Ederson after getting his shot away? If he wasn't then he could have been on his feet to tuck away the rebound. Should it have been a pen? Or can you say advantage was given in the sense that he got his shot away?
Could you be anymore of a pussy
? "City's to lose" hahaHa ha ! Was watching the game with my son and his friend. My son’s friend said exactly the same when we were jumping around celebrating City’s goals! I guess you haven’t followed Utd for too long to know our absolute dislike for that team.
