Re: UCL QF: Liverpool vs City

Klopps just knows so well how to beat Man City, pressure combined with fast attacks and then also defending compact and well organised all round. Really surprised that Pep still hasnt worked out how to counter this....

So Liverpool once again perhaps a dark horse likely going to the semis then, wow.

Aaaaawww yeeeesss. City never looked like scoring. What a sweet win. Job only half done, though.

300 mil spent on defense for this? Lol first goal was comically bad

Are you really? He didnt have a answer for this at Barca and at Bayern. It is the counter tactic for the possesion "tiki-taka" tactic. There is no "answer". Maybe play with less people in forward position, but that is giving up your positional advantage in the posession tactic.

At Bayern, Pep sent Klopp into near relegation and then got him to resign

Clean sheet was crucial. You're through IMO. Can't see you not scoring at least 1.

Robertson joint best LB in the world with Alaba

the gap in quality between city and Liverpool is smaller than bvb and Bayern.

Pep flopped this big time

Im not talking about Klopp but Pep's inability to counter the tactic trown at him. Rolling Eyes

100% - Virgil van Dijk was the only outfield player in Liverpool v Manchester City to win all of his duels (4/4) and was the only starter to win possession ( more often than lose it (7). Impact.

I announce myself as a Liverpool fan and on the same day we smash the invincible City team 3-0

Not a coincidence. You're welcome.

City have no CL DNA

Baldy's horrendous away record only worsens things for them

by Hapless_Hans Wed Apr 04, 2018 9:49 pm

Also very happy for the kid Alexander Arnold who had a monster of a game tonight

Just like Chiellini isn't a shit CB after 1 bad performance, VVD isn't a good signing with 1 good performance. He still sucks. :coffee:

And Hans disrespecting Ashley Young who locked down Salah rofl

the actual best LB in the world.

by Art Morte Wed Apr 04, 2018 9:50 pm

Also, justice for Brexit Henderson. You're not the central midfield in 3-0 game like that if you're shite. Rather have him than Gundogan tbh.

by Firenze Wed Apr 04, 2018 9:51 pm

Been saying it for years. Milner is underrated. Pool fans weren't enthusiastic about him for quite a while, but he's mr consistent Molenation

hope he will decide to go to the WC

You joke but that is actually true. It's the reason why Spurs, PSG have been constantly failing as well.

You need a strong team with mental characters. These teams are filled with mental midgets.

by BarcaLearning Wed Apr 04, 2018 9:53 pm

So whats the chances of Man City overturning the tie in the second leg?

Its not all impossible, unlikely of course, but it will be a real test and interesting if Pep and how he changes things up, otherwise if he does pretty much the same thing it would really be stubbornness and shows his inabilities to change. Cant wait to see.
