Need half time. Look tired

We should hold on to the ball better in the last 15 minutes

the game is stopped because Trent is down after being kicked. Klopp is complaining, and the US commentary is ignoring it and talking about it as an argument about a VAR review for the Mahrez penalty claim. Fucking idiots.

Definitely a different feel to the game for the last 10 mins, but even a bad city are too good to expect us to have it all our own way all the game.

I’d settle for that.

Playing well, energy levels dropping let them get a bit of a foothold.

You can see which side had a proper preseason.

The intensity in our play for the first 25 minutes was incredible. I hope we don’t pay for it in the 2nd half.

Very impressive half. Probably not quite the chances created the overall balance of play deserved. Will be looking forward to see if we get to see Darwin and Carvalho.

Very good half from us, starting to look a bit tired so probably subs early second half.

Dominated the first half hour, Man City with the players at their disposal are always going to come back and they did threaten on a few occasions. But we fully deserved the lead at half time. Need more in the 2nd half.

They look poor at the back. They are not playing well. Must take advantage. Adrian playing decent but is prone to a mistake. Can’t give Haaland another big chance though. Boys playing well though. Big 45 to go

Agreed. I thought Hendo was playing at an entirely different energy level than any player on the pitch for either side. He was in mid season intensity.

Knew we would step it up really quick when it matters compared to a poor pre season really. Boys not treating this like a pre season game

We need to sub on Jones so that I have something to whine about.

It’s a well known fact that if we take the piss out of an opposing striker they are more likely to score against us. I’m sure Kopster can provide statistical evidence to back this up.

Hopefully our stronger bench comes into play soon. Darwin sub when City come looking for the equaliser

Agreed. If we go on to not win, I hope to hell either he or Naby are on the pitch at the end so we can pile all the blame on them.

I can whine for you. Here goes.

The spirit of Fernandinho lives on.

$hitty deep in our half. We win the ball, ready to spring the transition. Thiago is fouled but wriggles free so play on. Two smart passes from us to develop the play. Rodri comes in to clear out the player as they are still out of shape.

Pawson shows his Prem ref credentials by being shit and showing how the season’s refereeing will pan out. And people wonder why $hitty do shit in Europe when they keep winning in the league.

I would only play Naby up front, so he can’t do us any damage.
