Pre and In Match Thread. Liverpool vs Man City. EPL. Sun 3rd October. 1600 hrs

City went to Chelsea and absolutely dominated them, this game has followed a similar pattern. They look worryingly good. Not sure if like for like subs change much here, something has to change system wise.

Wouldn’t mind Tsimi at right back just to concentrate on defending. Then jordan to double up with Fab a tthe base to offer stability and cover for both full backs. That will then allow Curtis to link with the front.

Jota to drop a little deeper to give passing options.

yes they do look good and very very solid in defence as well

milner needs help… can any of robbo or tsimikas play RB? Most of their dangerous attacks come from their left

Expecting a proper HT bollocking and we come out a different team !

This reminds me of the same issue we had with Brentford, Hendo is too high up for me, lose the ball Milner is mad exposed.

I mean Fabinho can’t be everywhere all the time, Jones playing in his shell, no service to the forwards.

You can’t let City play, need to be more aggressive instead we look scared and lethargic in our passing.

Klopp needs to wake them up.

Kinda evident that we need reliable midfield players…What is the point of having a world class talent if he is crocked 8 times out of 10??

Can Hendo play rightback? Milner off, Naby on. But what do i know?!!

Come on boys, we can do this

If City had Harry Kane, they’d be winning this now.

Our initial hoof ball high press tactics didn’t lead to anything. City adapted and exploited the high press an we didn’t adapt to that.
Milner is struggling as he hasn’t any help and is misjudging the long balls to Foden.

He might do Firmino for Jones. It looks like an attacking sub, but it actually pushes Fab and Hendo into a clear double pivot.

Watching the highlights VVD is nowhere near anybody much of the time. He is poor today.

if klopp dont get milly off, the ref will do it for him

No changes are HT!

Not a bad idea.

Right, we obviously conserved our energy first half for a big second. Let’s go reds.

I honestly don’t think City have been that great. We started fine then just got so cautious and timid. We’re not shit, but definitely were in that 1st half. Trust in Jurgen to change things for 2nd half :pray:

Hendo and Jones need to find a way to get in the game. It is always worth trying man marking for a spell to get into the pace of the game. We are playing to many little tip tap balls at the bac. Need to be more positive.

our midfield needs to get a grip and start to show their strength

No change. Milner looks an absolutely telegraphed red card to me.
