Is Firmino pissed?

Wijnaldum! Finally

We're containing them really well.

Gini is boss, what a header.

Gini Wijnaldum gets two goals. That's the only thing I know about the result.

LOL.

That's fun.
Wake up Firmino and we'll get even better.

So far, so good.

We have been very good. Wish we could have taken advantage more of City's defence, which is there for the taking. City will now come out of the second half all guns blazing but I think we can handle them. Klavan has been excellent considering he got booked at 6 mins into the game. My man of the first half.

El Lobo · « **Reply #9 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:18:03 pm »

Excellent

The Firmino elephant in the room is still looming large though.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:18:04 pm »

Such a tense atmosphere.. Bobby could have killed this game off twice, once when through and second with that pass.

Two huge chances he had and fucked them both

Hopefully we don't rue them but City not offering much either.

Great first half and a brilliant goal from Gini

sms1986 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:18:33 pm »

We could have been up by two or three by this point, and I think we have more goals in us!

Turn it up. Not too bad.

Great header from a great cross. We seem to be playing within ourselves. Step it up a gear and get a second, coast the rest of the game.

Zeb · « **Reply #15 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:18:38 pm »

Only disappointing part of that is we've not taken a couple of chances for the second. City looked like they were falling apart under the press for periods of that half. Hope we can keep it up for the second and finish them off.

Milner was funny. Telling the linesman should have flagged "making me fucking run"

Wool · « **Reply #17 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:18:41 pm »

What a fucking header that was.

Firminio needs to sharpen up

lessthanmatt · « **Reply #20 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:18:54 pm »

That look of disgust on Milner's face looking down at Sterling

Firmino shocking with that non-touch and then the offside ball that a U15 player could get right

jediwarrior · « **Reply #21 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:18:57 pm »

I think its a measure of how far we've come under Klopp but I was disapointed with us in the final 3rd of the field. Don't think we really clicked. Great in midfield and defence but feel we can step up a couple.of gears.

Great header for the goal

Not just the chances, his all round game seems off, misplacing passes etc etc.

planet-terror · « **Reply #23 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:06 pm »

Choking the life out of them. Speed up a bit and we could spank em.

Sir Psycho Sexy · « **Reply #24 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:07 pm »

what a shout by yorkykopite. 2nd Wijnaldum goal incoming.

we really need to keep the ball better though

Frizzo · « **Reply #25 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:08 pm »

I just wish we'd signed a goalkeeper like Bravo because DISTRIBUTION!@!@!

Mister Flip Flop · « **Reply #26 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:08 pm »

The better side deserving of the lead. You can see the quality of both teams the top four in this division are head and shoulders above the rest.

Solomon Grundy · « **Reply #27 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:10 pm »

Need a couple more goals I think. All good so far though.

Lovely, lovely header from Gini by the way. Rose like a majestic salmon going up stream.

Ski · « **Reply #28 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:12 pm »

Containing them really well but feels like it's a risky strategy. One lapse in concentration and they'll be all square. Like to see us go at them a bit more to get a 2nd but saying that we've been inches away a couple of times from being in on goal.

As expected, the ref is a muppet.

Come on Redmen. See it through!

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #29 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:15 pm »

All over them

More of the same in the second half and a bit more fluidity in the final third and we can be very happy with this performance

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #30 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:24 pm »

It's tense and very tactical. Both teams are being nullified by the press but Man City are far more open than ourselves which led to the goal on the counter. Keep it tight and there should be plenty more opportunities like that.

Love how we are targetting Yaya.

Sterling is wank.

Klavan has been incredible, especially considering his early yellow.

martinsquirtle · « **Reply #31 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:26 pm »

Solid. Firmino needs to wake up though

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #32 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:30 pm »

Mignolet with the moment of the match though

Caligula? · « **Reply #33 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:36 pm »

Feel as if we're saving our energy for later on when we'll really press them high and force them into mistakes, which they've always looked like doing at the back. We're a bit deep and allowing them too much possession, but I'm sure we'll get more opportunities as the game wears on. Sturridge and Origi off the bench are fantastic options to have as well.

swoopy · « **Reply #34 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:46 pm »

Boom

Great half all round. Man City have been quite shit. Kept them very quiet and not really been threatened.

Fantastic header from Wijnaldum. Brilliant Power

Keep it up Red Men!!!

Gnurglan · « **Reply #35 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:50 pm »

Solid performance so far. There are times when we can counter-attack. If we can keep this up, we should get opportunities. Great goal!

Romeo Sensini · « **Reply #36 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:53 pm »

If they want to use Sterling as their primary point of attack as opposed to De Bruyne or Silva, more power to them.

Good half.

jooneyisdagod · « **Reply #37 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:55 pm »

Should be up by more given we've managed to cut them apart once or twice, but I'll take this for now. We just can't lose our cutting edge though and we really need that second goal to really open up the game. Our players have been running themselves into the ground. One can only applaud the effort. Come on Reds... another 45 and a win. Please fucking win.

Yeah maybe but then he played a great pass to set us on the way to the goal and he absolutely destroyed Sterling in the corner.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #39 on:** December 31, 2016, 06:19:57 pm »

Funny game...

Klopp has out tinkered Gaurdiola with the formation so far...

City will score though, some great diagonal balls by them, and Sterlings pace is a threat.

I don't think we've played our best football even though every later has worked damned hard.
