Mo has been helping out a lot today.
I think that he’s on the bench today.
On the bench, maybe we’ll see him second half?

Man City 0-2 Liverpool

All players in a Red shirt are contributing at the moment. If they are all doing their jobs, they are such a potent machine.
Liverpool deserve the lead.
So how can we improve on this?
It seems the tactic is to allow their wingers to get down the byline, but the moment they cut in, the CBs comes in to block.
Plus : Diaz is occupying their RB pretty well. Salah with a goal and assist in this match so far. Szoboszlai is having a good game. The CBs are doing well.
Minus : Robbo’s looking a bit weak against Savinho. TAA is getting skinned and can only hope Doku goes off for someone else. Jones is having a quiet game.
I reckon I might get to post this a few times yet before the season is out…
Hopefully he gets back to full fitness soon. We need him.
And we haven’t conceded, he helped more at the beginning of the the season when we were defensively solid, mentioned this in the Nunez thread earlier in the week
What does Ederson do other than play out and maim oncoming forwards?
Keane we are looking at the new champions here.
it must have hurt him big time to say that.
A week ago at Wolves, we came out for the second half two up, and put in a weak performance.
Cannot let this slip. City having five up for their press. We’ve had some joy going a bit more direct and bypassing that.
Man City’s midfield just evaporates on our 2nd goal.
no switching off. None of the wolves second half display.
City will undoubtably come out in the 2nd half with a bit more fight and desire, they can’t be much worse than they were in that first.
We don’t really need to do anything differently, keep our shape, keep our discipline and keep doubling up on Doku.
So Nico hasn’t magically fixed them? So those 5 articles I read since the Newcastle game saying that were maybe a bit hyperbolic?
On the bench
Ball to Salah. He holds it up. City defender with two arms wrapped around him. No foul as usual.
Other end, City getting every decision around the penalty area for a free kick into the box.
