City surely can't keep up this pace for 90 minutes. See it through and hopefully we'll start getting a foot on the ball.

Siege gun at the moment, hopefully they run out of steam!

On the positive side it is 1-0.

They've done enough to hopefully keep Aguero on the bench for most of this half!

Don't concede for first twenty and they'll start to panic!

Great chance at the end though....

Not sure I can take another 45 minutes!!

Thank fuck Kane was off side for that second goal.

And Dele Alli didn't get a pen for that dive!

Fucking hell, he's not trying to claim City goals as well now is he?

Not sure why their goal was disallowed. Should be 2-0 if not more. We have been shocking. Come on reds!!!!

Because the offside rule is that you need two opposition players closer to the goal line to be onside, they only had one as Karius had gone for the punch.

If they hack

And there is no whistle

Play until you hear one

It's basic Sunday league shite

But these millionaires need to raise their arms

Trendisnotdestiny · « **Reply #166 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:06 pm »

If I see another right foot clearance from Robertson right to the middle that finds a blue 25-30 yards out, I am really going to throw up.

No midfield, and our forward pressure is non-existent on account of one's coming back from a groin injury, and the other 2 have picked up dumb yellows.

Looking like a grim slow death unless something changes.

One incorrectly given my the ref in a 50/50 ball which their defender lost it.

Firmino's yellow was an important one to stop the counter attack.

If they can keep that intensity up then we will be in trouble, but thought we were starting to get a little bit back into the game, hopefully Jurgen earns his money now

Jools · « **Reply #171 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:14 pm »

We're still in it somehow!
Come on Reds, they'll all be buggered for the 2nd half after that.

Expect to see Solanke on 2nd half.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Sanes goal. Our legs our gone, even Firmino looks gassed

Err Karius was past him so there needed to be 2 bodies in front of Sane for him to be deemed offside, there was only 1 player behind Sane.

Bergersrightwingviews · « **Reply #175 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:23 pm »

Get Clyne on for Mane and tell him to sit on Sane. We are getting killed by their width especially on that side.

stevensr123 · « **Reply #176 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:23 pm »

Gini had been terrible as well at the 6 role, think catragher was right

Pradan · « **Reply #177 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:30 pm »

This is too much for me

This ref is a looney. We have to be careful here. He's waiting to give a red. Both Lovren and TAA are on a thin line.

Fabulous_aurelio · « **Reply #178 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:31 pm »

I feel the next goal wins. We need to get on that ball but seems were having no joy without midfield.

lessthanmatt · « **Reply #179 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:34 pm »

VVD started us off on a bad foot. I think the mentality went awry right then. Hopefully in half time we can come together and sort shit out

thekitkatshuffler · « **Reply #180 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:39 pm »

Van Dijk has been a proper shit bag when the ball's been on the deck in that half.

Handing off responsibility for making a challenge to his teammates at every opportunity, while turning sideways and doing not much of anything.

MH41 · « **Reply #181 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:40 pm »

The ball boys are annoying me! Ball back to City, before we're set up.
Surely a red for ederson for pushing mané twice in the face?
And a push for the first goal. Poor from the assistant

moloch · « **Reply #182 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:41 pm »

Virgil set the tune for the half and our midfield seems not know what to do either in attack or defense. Positives: it's only 1-0.

Oh fuck off with that shit lad.

You don’t think they’re all over us? They could have quite easily scored three in that half. I’m saying if we carry on being so outclassed we’re going out. Anyone can see that.

Rattleduser · « **Reply #185 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:51 pm »

need to find a way to threaten their goal more, more bodies in midfield maybe and stop them ocer running us

Gerry83 · « **Reply #186 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:51 pm »

Am i right in saying lot of people misunderstsnding the offside rule here with karius ahead of the ball?

That was a brutal watch - worse than expected but its only 1-0. Just need to get a touch of the ball and believe we can do this!

Edit: ok it came off milner

Roger Federer · « **Reply #187 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:55 pm »

This is awful to watch, can’t take it for another 45. Their first shouldn’t have stood, but on the other hand we got lucky with the offside (Milner played the ball, didn’t he?).

We need a midfield in the second half, and keep the ball better.

Disappointed with the ref he gives us no foul... First one clear foul for me.... then we defended to deep and lost the ball too quickly... should have scored in the end but we only conceded once....

On a side note what a c*nt Sterling is.... and why on earth were they argueing with the ref....

Could really use can or hendo since gini is invisible

Gnurglan · « **Reply #190 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:58 pm »

Very bad start, but we managed to keep things together. This game is unfortunately going the wrong way. We looked like we did in the 2nd half at Anfield, but with them being far more dangerous. It was good that we managed to create something near the end, so we know we can do it and they know we can pose a threat. It's a good reminder. Mane frustrates me. He was unlucky with his yellow, but he needs to be get that out f his mind and start playing.

All in all though, we need to improve in the second half.

Caligula? · « **Reply #191 on:** April 10, 2018, 08:36:59 pm »

Worst possible start. Ffs Virgil don't stop playing and feel you're entitled to a foul.

We can't possibly be worse in that second half.

Does Gini know he's not in a hide and seek contest? Because he's bloody nailing it.

Understand he is playing in a position not that he is used too, but he's been shite. Fuck sake, this is a QF, play like you are in one.

I'm confident we'll get the away goal we need, Klopp's half time talk will be very useful for that!
