Match Thread Liverpool v City

[FOX Franks]

Definitely wasn't mentioned on BT Sport, where Owen, McManaman and Hoddle have their tongues firmly on the sphincter of the team in red

 

[Micky]

I'm bored.

 

[Graz]

This has been poor. I still feel like the main thing is that we're lacking sharpness. But we need to find it soon

A proper defensive midfield replacement for Kante would have been the smart thing to acquire during the transfer window said....


EVERYONE!

Let's spend 30 million on another forward instead of first resolving the main problem with the team.

 

[MerseyFox]

Poor effort today. I do think that some of them are avoiding injury for the Champions League. Really poor effort and woeful execution.

 

[Brown Nose]

I'm bored.

If I were you, I'd be cheering on my pre-match prediction. You've almost called it perfectly.

 

[FOX Franks]

Could have been a lot more today if not for Schmeichel

Name a player we could have signed that was even vaguely similar to Kante

We clearly tried to sign a midfielder and another defender but we couldn't get them. So, the real question is do we sign someone that is clearly inferior / second choice or stick with what we've got. They've done the right thing in my view.

Slimani was a long term target. We get them when we can.

 

[Graz]

Shit. 4-1

 

[Cate Fox]

Meltdown starting already then...

That's a stupid question. No one had heard of Kante before we signed him last year. Surely that's the whole point of having a scouting network.

He says, chomping on his own words

 

[Brown Nose]

And there it is.

 

[MerseyFox]

That summed up the match. 1 ball. What a joke.

Everything we've done has been rubbish today, except for Schmeichel's saves, and he's just gone and ruined that

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

When Kante left I'd like to have seen us change tact and go for a central playmaker rather than a replacement. We did neither.

 

[Mawsley]

My prospects of being able to buy a match ticket again are looking good.

Point taken, but that considered, is it stupid to assume that Mendy can't replace Kante just because his missus has had a baby and he hasn't played??

 

[Brown Nose]

Dreadful, dreadful goalkeeping from Schmeichel.
