60' - Damn. Bobby one on one with Cabellero who manages to block for a corner.

That was a really good chance. A more confident Bobby would have lobbed him.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #41 on:** March 19, 2017, 05:52:04 pm »

62' - Reds are surging at the moment as City try to break quickly. Couple of dangerous breaks are stymied by good last ditch defending by City.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 19, 2017, 05:52:59 pm »

63' - Sublime take and turn by Bobby from a clearance. Definitely one for the .gif's

Rush 82 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 19, 2017, 05:53:42 pm »

64' - Toure off; Sagna on.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #44 on:** March 19, 2017, 05:55:18 pm »

65' - Mane and Bobby combine well but then give the ball away needlessly. Aguero with a dangerous foray is robbed by Matip.

End to end stuff continues.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 19, 2017, 05:57:47 pm »

68' - City are pressing hard. They're in and around our box.

Aguero scores.

City 1 - Liverpool 1

What a gorgeous pass by Phil there almost getting Bobby in there. We're playing so well now.

Quote from: hesbighesred on March 19, 2017, 05:51:39 pm

At the risk of serious jinxing but we've been fucking excellent since that ice-cold Milner penalty. What a pro he is.

Is it just me - or anyone else feeling; when we break, we're not 100% committing...

I don't like it. Kill them!

Rush 82 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:02:11 pm »

71' - Phil off for Origi.

Seconds before that we were buzzing in their box - Bobby with a left footed attempt which Cabellero parries away.

What a game this is. Neither team stepping back.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:04:39 pm »

74' - Our pressing game has improved as we approach the last 15 minutes.

and absolute mayhem as City miss about 300 million attempts to get the ball into the net - eventually hits the post and we clear.

Thing is though while a win would be lovely a draw is not the end of the world. We have had 12 chances to their 7 so it's not like we haven't tried to win.

Hmm, want 3 points.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #50 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:08:54 pm »

78' - Can with driving run through the middle finds Mane who finds Milner. Pity Milner has to swing around to move the ball onto his right foot and the speed of the move breaks down. Aguero nicks it to clear.

Once again we have bodies all over the pitch.

HOW THE HELL did Lallana miss that!

I can't even describe what happened there

Rush 82 · « **Reply #51 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:10:56 pm »

80' - The ball dropped right in front of him 5 yards out in the centre of the goal but his feet got stuck and....

Down the other end City nearly score but Sterling fluffs it.

Seconds later we break back up and Bobby skews it into the side netting

Rush 82 · « **Reply #52 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:13:13 pm »

82' - Sane off for Fernando.

83' - Clyne receives a yellow for a push. FK leads to corner which is cleared. De Bruyne lofts it into Mignolet's hands.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #53 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:14:54 pm »

85' - Frenetic, absolutely frenetic - no let up and it doesn't look like either side is happy to settle for a point.

How Lallana missed that chance only he will ever be able to figure out.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #54 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:16:32 pm »

86' - De Bruyne surges, cuts back but Aguero misses the target.

City remain in possession as the 87th minute ticks over.

Looks like Lucas is about to come on.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:17:27 pm »

88' - Mane earns a yellow for a sliding tackle on Silva.

Bobby off, Lucas on.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #56 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:20:16 pm »

89' - 4' will be added on. Game is far from over. City continue to push and give it to Mane - Stones gets a leg across in time to clear.

Back down the other end De Bruyne gives it to Aguero on a silver platter - he doesn't get over it and instead kicks it over the bar. Probably as shocking as the Lallana miss.

Quote from: Ycuzz on March 19, 2017, 06:07:57 pm

Sub Mane, probably knackered, but he's half a second to slow on everything now.

93' - City remain in and around.

20 seconds left in the game.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #58 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:22:51 pm »

94' - FT

1-1

J-Mc- · « **Reply #59 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:25:29 pm »

Thought we played well but looked extremely leggy second half, very laid back performance from both teams but I think City edged the performance, they had better chances and seemed to know exactly how to break our lines with each attack, so in that sense, we got lucky.

Lallana should have buried his chance though, and Firmino maybe should have squared it not long after on the break but overall, a point well deserved for both teams.

pyroparty · « **Reply #60 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:25:43 pm »

A fair point, we both had big chances. Firmino's finishing is really dismal at times, shame as he's incredible at other stuff like awareness of teammates.

LALLANA WHAT THE FUCK

We gave it all we had, a fantastic game to watch but it feels like 2 points dropped in the end. I felt we had more opportunities on the counter to win it and should have got another one. United win their 2 games in hand and they pass us.

Jack Barrels · « **Reply #64 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:26:14 pm »

That Lallana chance... will take that 1 point though.

Adam_LFC · « **Reply #65 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:26:16 pm »

You'd take that before the match but jeez Lallana..

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #66 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:26:16 pm »

Shoulda won, coulda lost.

All in all, a good performance and a good point.

Redman0151 · « **Reply #67 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:26:21 pm »

Was an amazing game of footy that.

Draw feels fair in the end, a good point from our hardest game left, made sure City didn't pull away from us.

Just got to do the business in the games we SHOULD win now.

Stones and Can were the standouts

sonny crockett · « **Reply #68 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:26:25 pm »

4 points behind us with two games in hand.

Strange match, a draw is not a terrible result. both teams missed a lot of sitters so i guess a draw was fair.
Top 4 will go down the wire at this speed.

Bizarre game to pick on his finishing. Lad can't get a break.

It's not a bad result but not finishing them off was fucking unforgivable.

If we can beat the shit down the bottom between now and the end of the season, then this is an excellent point.
