He was too often like that in 'big' games. He dropped a clanger against Arsenal, something that you simply cannot afford to do against your closest rivals in tight games, he let us down against Chelsea on a number of occasions.

I watched an interview with Micheal Owen recently and early in his career he scored at Old Trafford and then got sent off. It taught him a lesson about playing in big games and he became more focused, more cold the bigger the occasion became.

Some players thrive in big games others don't.

I remember he started getting done at the near post too easily - I was right behind the Kop goal, about row 14, for the Arsenal CL QF, had a really clear view and couldn't believe he got beaten at the near post. The 2012 FA Cup final was poor from him too.

Still loved the loon though and he did speak out against the cowboys

Man City are the perfect example of a school boy bully they batter teams who believe have no chance against them but as soon as someone stands upto to them they crumble. That's why they always fail in the Champions League because they can't bully teams in that competition as they are a no mark club in that competition.

Commentator: He couldn’t hold that shot.
Me: Alisson catches that.

You can talk to the commentator?

So it was you that put him off then?

What he should have done was mark the six yard line with his studs so that he knew where the post was. Remember when keepers used to do that? Do they still do it?

Oh yes, I do it all the time.
My favourite is Gary Neville, we like to have deep and long conversations about the nature of reality.
If we get in too deep I just use his dafe word 'Valencia' and he snaps right back.

Just save everybody's time and kick it in to your own net.

They can score 100 goals per game for all I care

I'm loving this.

City genuinely should be 10 up ahead. Villa are laughably wank. That league cup semi did them no favors at all.

We're just at the end of the busiest period of the season in which a lot of our players played nearly every game. Performances like yesterday are to be expected.

It has been going on almost all season. All the 2-1 score lines. In almost all of them would had the chances to put 3-5 past them and just pass it around the last 10-20.

Remember the Spurs and Leicester Anfield matches? Out shot Leicester 18-2 and almost drew and vs Spurs we had 13 shots on target. 13!
Yet only scored two and one was a pen. Thank god we have the best defense in the world!

We could certainly learn a lot from this City team. And actually, it’d be more exciting to be in their position.

I think everybody agrees that he'd lost form. Problem was Mignolet was not an improvement and was worse, big game or not.

They are running out of time to make a comeback

City ahead of us on GD

Reina was shite near post.

Chelsea always seemed to score there, mind thinks back to the 4-4 game in 08-09.

Yeah we should’ve been facing City (once we KO’d leicester) in the final but the CWC was far more important

Grealish has a good technique but runs and moves so slow, strange footballer.

I am glad we are shut of it. It would have made January an absolute nightmare scheduling wise.

He's got a great hair cut though.

Don't give a shit all that matters is we win at the end of the day. People have been saying this all season that this would catch up with us it hasn't though.

We're a far better team than Man City because we know how to win in many different ways, while they only win in one fashion they don't know how to grind out ugly wins like we do which is why they are 14 points behind us having played a game more.
