Feeling a little sick with anxiety?

How I've missed you, old friend.

1 - City kick off and manage to lose the ball, but then win it again and have since had the majority of the possession. Liverpool have now won it back and are trying to probe into the City box.....City win the ball back....

SRAWL · « **Reply #4 on:** January 25, 2012, 07:47:50 pm »

2 - Ref gives a free kick to City for a nudge in the back....probably fair. City just maintain the possession instead of trying to get one in the box.

4 - City passing the ball around well in midfield, but are lacking any real penetration. Liverpool have now won it back and just manage to keep the ball......Liverpool manage to break and smashes a hopeful ball to no one in particular in the box...City head it to Enrique who tries to toe poke it to the goal.....Hart just saves.....Downing smashes the ball wide and high as it rebounds to him....

SRAWL · « **Reply #7 on:** January 25, 2012, 07:50:54 pm »

5 - Bellamy breaks and is pushed wide....no one really comes with him except for Kuyt on the back post....ball goes for a corner and it is easily headed away by City...Liverpool win back possession.

Azi · « **Reply #8 on:** January 25, 2012, 07:51:32 pm »

Enrique was just outside the 6 yard box with his shot brilliant save from Hart and Downing on the rebound really should have smashed it in

SRAWL · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2012, 07:51:38 pm »

Apparently Stevie got a yellow for a challenge on Barry....bit harsh to be honest. Captain probably getting his own back for the comments today.

8 - Bellamy manages to win the ball and then makes a grimace and holds his leg? Not sure if he is injured or not.....looks to have come back on the pitch with a few looks at the sidelines.....

for those slagging city off last week for not selling out although not as bad their still are a few seats placed around anfield empty

10 - Just a bit of Liverpool and City possession at the moment. Bellamy manages to break on the right and wins a corner.....barely misses the first man....Liverpool manage to win the ball back tho....Adam goes for glory with his right and it goes straight through to Hart for an easy save.

SRAWL · « **Reply #16 on:** January 25, 2012, 07:57:18 pm »

12 - City manage to get in to Liverpool's box, but the ball comes away from Silva and goes for a Liverpool goal kick.

SRAWL · « **Reply #17 on:** January 25, 2012, 07:58:27 pm »

13 - Liverpool get the ball on the right from a throw in and manage to win a corner.....Bellamy takes over from Stevie and doesn't get it past the first man...I think we need some corner practice

SRAWL · « **Reply #18 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:01:09 pm »

15 - City try to break, but our defence seems to be holding and we win the ball back....Bellamy gets the ball on the left of the box and tries to cut it back....goes straight to City and allows City to break......Silva passes it diagonally to Kolarov and City manage to win a corner...first real chance of the game.

Ball is defended well, but City win it back in midfield.

SRAWL · « **Reply #19 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:02:47 pm »

17 - Replays of a challenge in the box by Adam show that Adam did foul Dzeko and it probably should have been a penalty...nothing made of it though.

SRAWL · « **Reply #20 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:04:06 pm »

City 68% and Liverpool 32%

SRAWL · « **Reply #21 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:05:04 pm »

20 - City just having possession at the moment - generally in the middle and not getting too far in to the Liverpool half.

21 - Bellamy charges through past Savic on the right and smashes one at Hart...shot easily saved, but ball is parried away to the left hand side. City mange to get control back.

Over to Azi.

Azi · « **Reply #25 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:08:19 pm »

the way the games started you'd think city were the ones defending a one goal lead seem happy to sit back and defend

Azi · « **Reply #26 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:09:07 pm »

23 - City try to put a quick through ball to Dzeko but Pepe is alert and collects the ball

Perhaps they are waiting for us to to slow down, tire and become sloppy? Bring on Aguero at the end and bam.

Uch bellamy off side.

24 - Kuyt plays a through ball to Bellamy who finishes superbly into the bottom corner only to turn around and see the linesman lift his flag just offside correct decision

SRAWL · « **Reply #30 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:11:57 pm »

I love it when keepers come out to take free kicks...I just want the ball to land one a Liverpool's foot as the smash it towards the goal

Azi · « **Reply #31 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:11:59 pm »

26 - city trying to keep the ball now but lose it to the Duracell bunny who starts another attack through Enrique his pass is over hit to downing but it doesnt matter as downing is flagged as being offside

Azi · « **Reply #32 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:13:31 pm »

27 mins every chance we get we seem to hoof the ball in savics space in the hope he fumbles or slips but so far the young kid has stayed strong

Azi · « **Reply #33 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:14:40 pm »

28 mins and just as i hit post the next attack bellamy closes down savic who panics and his control lets him down and its out for a corner - u know how our corners go and city are on the break

SRAWL · « **Reply #34 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:15:16 pm »

Bellamy is desperate for some help up top. Kuyt not doing too badly tonight in all honesty.

Azi · « **Reply #35 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:16:19 pm »

29 - gerarrd stops a city attack and his clearence causes hand bags between kuyt and lescott both things its their ball ref gives it to city we win the ball back and clear it savic again panics as bellamy is chasing him down but lucky for him Richards is nearby to clear the danger

SRAWL · « **Reply #36 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:16:43 pm »

Not surprised really.

SRAWL · « **Reply #37 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:17:16 pm »

Goal to City as De Jong walks through our midfield and smashes one in from 30 yards out.

Azi · « **Reply #38 on:** January 25, 2012, 08:17:21 pm »

0-1 De jong

silva creates some space and finds De jong who slips just as he shoots and it curls into the top corner

kop stunned
