34 Great cut out by Lucas and we attack. Suarez dispossessed legally by Kompany.

Both goals sum up the game, sloppy from both sides.

Neither team can sustain pressure or possession.

35 Enrique breaks all the way into the box but runs out of ball.

SRAWL · « **Reply #85 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:39:45 pm »

Oh my god that was so close. Bit of a poor shot from Adam, but good stop by Hart. Kuyt with a poor touch, but a good run.

36 Great run by Dirk picks out Adam on his right but saved by Hart for a corner. Suarez fluffs a slight chance.

SMD · « **Reply #87 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:40:28 pm »

Liverpool starting to turn the screw, lovely ball from Suarez finds Dirk who's forced wide, cuts back and lays it off to Adam who shoots low, only to be denied by Hart's trailing foot.

From the corner, the ball finds Suarez 15 yards out who decides to go for the drop goal.

38 Johnson gets it on the right, one two with Suarez and curls a left foot shot wide.

SMD · « **Reply #89 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:41:32 pm »

Nice one two there, Johnson on the edge of the box tries to curl it in with his left, just wide.

The Reds have the bit between their teeth.

....City will not keep a clean sheet, that's for sure.

I was thinking I wish I shared you're optimism..... and goal

A prohet indeed

Ha, just noting that City's defensive three in the middle now can't commit to challenges as much, those yellows will hamper their instincts I reckon.

40 Free on the right for Milner, foul by Downing who is English and therefore not mentioned by Smith.

SRAWL · « **Reply #92 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:43:54 pm »

Lucas is the only one in the middle closing the players down at the moment.

Corkboy · « **Reply #93 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:44:26 pm »

41 Toure with a long ranger which does not trouble Reina's goal.

SMD · « **Reply #94 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:44:49 pm »

City's turn for possession, Silva is having to come very deep to get time on the ball. Good midfield performance from Adam and Lucas. Haven't seen much of Henderson lately.

One of them said he thought Milner slipped and that it wasn't a foul

Disagree, think Adam's been quite tenacious.

SRAWL · « **Reply #97 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:45:43 pm »

How wasn't that a foul and a yellow?

43 Johnson tees up Henderson who is blocked. Kuyt and Downing have switched.

Lucas is boss.

SMD · « **Reply #101 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:47:04 pm »

Mark Webber is leading the Brazilian Grand Prix. Vettel is behind him.

I don't know either.

SRAWL · « **Reply #102 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:47:28 pm »

Referees should give yellow cards to players that wave for cards (Aguero waving for Skrtel for some reason).....I don't see why they don't as they would soon stop it....I spose that would be logical.

Corkboy · « **Reply #103 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:47:45 pm »

44 Silva takes a free out left cleared by Johnson.

SMD · « **Reply #104 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:47:57 pm »

I can't decide if Dirk carrying the ball forward through the middle is a sight to behold or an accident waiting to happen.

Corkboy · « **Reply #105 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:48:29 pm »

45 One minute extra.

Corkboy · « **Reply #106 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:49:33 pm »

Aguero and Silva combine with Aguero forcing a save from Pepe.

46 Half time. 1-1.

SMD · « **Reply #107 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:50:30 pm »

Aguero gets a shot off low at Pepe's near post but it's saved and that's pretty much half time.

Not a vintage performance, like Chelsea last week both sides are guilty of not being on top form but 1-1 is about fair. Neither side look worthy of the lead and the question is do you change or hope Mancini blinks first and weakens his midfield to strengthen his attack?

SRAWL · « **Reply #108 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:50:45 pm »

Good defending and breaking down from Liverpool. City have had a few chances, but have failed to put the majority of them away. Liverpool need a bit more in the middle and in attack for me, but hopefully Kenny will motivate them a bit further in the break!

SMD · « **Reply #109 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:51:50 pm »

Personally I want to see more from Henderson and Downing, Nasri and Milner haven't gotten into the game so they should be looking to try and exploit that.

Carroll has to get at least 20 minutes against two centre backs on yellows though.

I know it is hard, but I don't think we have exploited this that much at all in the first half. We really need to run at the two CBs.

SMD · « **Reply #111 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:55:28 pm »

Can see the side of the pitch getting watered through the studio's window. Hope that means we're going to emphasise wing player.

Corkboy · « **Reply #112 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:55:32 pm »

I would say honours even, City have the better of the chances but we have them rattled a little.

SMD · « **Reply #113 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:56:21 pm »

Gary Neville highlights the same point that I made, Johnson got in Dirk's way and that gave Kompany the free header.

31 of City's 43 goals have come in the second half, according to the Identikit Presenter on Sky.

Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa vying for position.

Hamilton pits, Massa comes in next lap, Massa pulls out of the pit lane just ahead of Hamilton.

Apparently Vettel's gearbox is totally fucked.

It's all Lucas' fault.

SRAWL · « **Reply #119 on:** November 27, 2011, 05:05:15 pm »

Still can't believe Adam is only 25.
