Shouting match

Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool

Simon Stone

BBC Sport at the Etihad Stadium

There has just been a real row in front of me after a Liverpool fan in the corporate seats celebrated his side’s equaliser.

A couple of City fans side to his left were calling on stewards, fairly bluntly, to get rid of him.

The calls went unheeded, much to the annoyance of the City fan. Now the Liverpool supporters are winding that fan up.

Very loud and aggressive.

Natalie well done

Attaboy Nat!

Great tackle by Nathaniel Gallagher

Thiago losing the ball, basic shit. It’s so poor from our seniors.

Elliott been so poor.

Put that tackle in the January shop window portfolio.

I think many of you are overeacting a bit. This was always going to be damn hard. Manchester City is the best team in the league on paper and usually on the table. We have been inconsistent and never found top form this season.
I would worry much more if we were outplayed by a midtable team (which has happened in the past this season, and THAT is when I worry) or lower table. Losing against City is painful and annoying but not dramatic in a season where we are never able to reach top form (so far) except in glimpses.

And even so, even though they have mostly outplayed us, we still have a chance at victory at 1-1. Sometimes in football, the best team does not always win, which is the beauty of football :slight_smile:

That’s child abuse. :grinning:

The frustration is we are seeing the same shit and basics mistakes which plagued the first half of the season. It’s not good enough.

City are good but if we keep passing it straight to them we are making it easy.

Nunez getting closer…

Not as poor as coote is

Shinned it but getting in position

100% agree, although it’s the basic stuff that’s killing us.

We’re not really being outplayed by City, the fact that we struggle to string a few passes together and control balls into feet, and play sloppy passes sees to be our downfall

Kids showing they know how to press but we’re missing someone like Bobby who can lead the pressing.

Who is taking our pens tonight.

This ref is spineless, nat Phillips is a better center back than gomez . We are giving the ball away cheaply. 1-1 is decent considering the team on the field

That was pretty high-tempo from both sides.
