Poor effort all round last night…from the players and fans. Though the conditiond didn’t help – very, very windy and bloody freezing – I thought we looked complacent, and yet again, too many players performing below their best. It feels churlish to be moaning when we are 22 points clear at the top, but we haven’t really been at our frightening best much this season. So many times we have done just enough, like last night. Anyway who cares? I can’t really grumble, but we will have to play better than last night against Madrid, and the fans will have to be more up for it as well. Very flat atmosphere last night, until we went behind.
But, hey, 4 more wins!

Thanks for that, threeps. I agree with Mak though, I can see him playing alot more than divvy. There has been times this season when Mo and Bobby, not so much Sadio, looked like they could benefit from a few games out of the team. And don’t forget that Mo is likely to miss the start of the season, due to the Olympics and he and Sadio will be away for the African Nations.
There’s been alot of hype over the last year or two about Werner, and if I were a betting man I would say at least one of Sadio or Mo won’t be at Anfield the season after next, so I;m in…sign him!

Anyway, off to a cold and very windy Anfield tonight. Conditions like these don’t really suit us…as shown at Norwich the other week, but surely we should be far too strong for them! This wind could be a bit of a leveller though.
Fancy Keita to start tonight in place of Hendo, otherwise unchanged. Maybe give Matip a run out against Watford on Saturday…he needs some minutes. Also would like to see Curtis Jones on the bench and given some playing time if we’re coasting.

To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never really seen him play. I’m guessing, threeps, with you living in Germany, you’ve seen a fair bit of him. Is he as good as everyone says? If he did come, which of our front 3’s position would he be best suited…Salah on the right, Mane on the left or Bobby’s role as a false No. 9? Is he left or right footed?
Scouting report, please!!

…but I recall you got pretty irate with Adlab earlier in this thread, so you do care a bit! Or does Adlab just wind you up?

Whatever one thinks or says about the City owners, and if they have cheated I certainly hope the punishment sticks, I would like to just throw another slant on them. The area of Manchester where the Etihad is located is a very deprived part of the city. While I know they didn’t build the stadium (and in fact the previous owners got given it following the Commonwealth Games…but that’s another argument!), they have totally changed the area since they took over the club. It is now a much safer environment and they have definitely contributed to this improvement, and I’m sure the local resident’s lives have improved with it. They have also kept the prices down for matches. They are still one of the cheapest places to watch Premiership football and obviously one of the best in terms of quality (which makes it all the more surprising it’s not full more often).
So while they may have cheated their way to where they are now, they have helped the local community and have been altruistic to an extent.

Vital that Atletico don’t nick one at Anfield as scoring 3 against that lot won’t be easy.
Too many of our lads last night were well below their best. Trent arguably had hi’s worst game in a red shirt as did Virgil. Gini was anonymous, Hendo well below his recent standards. The front 3 never really got a look in. Only Robbo, Gomez and Alli were at their best. The strange substitutions didn’t help either. I would have given Keita 25 mins in place of Gini to run at their defence and give them something different to think about.
But hey ho, it’s not over and should be a cracking and bouncing atmosphere at Anfield in a couple of weeks. We don’t do it the easy way in the Champions League and it looks like we won’t this season either.

Cheers for that, Mak. Sorry I didn;t see your reply…it was all deleted before I had a chance to see it. I get what you say about rating Hendo where you do, so I guess there’s not that big a gulf between our positions really. It does feel rating a player as high as I do when he is not a technically perfect player at so many of the skillsets, but I really do feel he hits the mark in the description of ‘jack of all trades’ as a footballer, but with the important addition of being the absolute master of one…and that is leadership and being the glue that sticks this wonderful side together. While I think Virgil would also be a fine captain, he doesn’t (to me) have the empathy to knit ALL the players together in a tight unit that Hendo has. Hendo is the ultimate team man, and very much Klopp’s general on the pitch.
Anyway here’s hoping Hendo leads them to another good result tonight!!

Very funny video…just trying to count up how many of the quotes were made by our very own Adlab!!

Yeah, get well soon, Brian! Hope you’re fit enough for the Madrid match in a couple of weeks!

Cheers, Parkie! I have to fancy us tonight, only on the basis that we have forgotten how to lose it appears! Would be happy with a draw but I can see a 1-0 or a 2-0 win with Mo and Gini scoring.

Mak – see Ed’s explanation on site problems thread! Bloody typical. First post for a while, a long and detailed one, and it disappears!

Is it too early to ask if De Bruyne would like to come to Anfield?

City can now pretend they are United by being out of Europe for the next 2 seasons!

Lucky the City fans hate the Champions League really, isn’t it?

Maybe, but still not at the level of 4 or 5 years ago

Yeah, but can he do it on a cold Tuesday night at Stoke? Course he can. Having said that, even though he won the Ballon d’Or (don’t get me started again), I do feel that he’s not the player he was 2 or 3 years ago. Would have loved to see him in the Premiership at his real peak. Imagine the faces Phil Jones would have pulled then!!

I wasn’t aware that Mikus didn’t rate him, I must admit. For me, he is a vital part of a team, though Hendo did a very capable job covering there for him while he was out (kiss-assing again!! Smiley face). But Fab in the team gives us a bit of steel, and a bit of what Fernandinho gives City when they play him in the right position. Apart from anything else, Fab being in the team allows Hendo to play his best position. Fab is taking a bit of time to get back to his best, admittedly, which is why I would have played him last night. He needs minutes on the pitch, and we can’t afford to have him undercooked for the Atletico game in a couple of weeks.
