Zatman Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Was a good performance, i felt City were there to be beaten or at least get a result from. We could easily have fell apart at 2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Has a lot to learn from the bloke at the back of P5. Just press the most ruthless team in the league and the most unpressable goalkeeper in world football. If we take a short goal keep give it 2 passes before we shit the bed and "get rid of it!!!" So far I'm impressed. I can see actual football and patterns or play this side of 2010 regards to restarts. Whether this crowd will allow any defender to have the confidence to pass a ball 8 yards I don't know. We've get some absolute dinosaurs in that crowd...and they are a hindrance to any modern footballing side. I think Gerrard's character could bring a new dawn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look so much better in all departments than we did a few weeks ago - really pleased by what Gerrard and his team have brought to us. Intelligence, effort and intensity. Unfortunately in the first half we caught Man City in one of those spells where they’re on another planet. Mind you, when you look at what their squad cost, they should be. Optimistic for the remainder of the season. Spot on! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I brushed aside the "born winner" comments when he was first appointed as meaningless platitudes but it is really shining through in how he's got us playing. Been surprised how quickly we've adapted to what he wants and I absolutely love how he's got us relentlessly pressing and has talked about how he's upped the training intensity and the players are still adapting to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MWARLEY2 Posted December 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2021 This guy has not come here to piss about has he. The interview before the game was telling. Saying that if you arent up for testing yourself in these big games then you are at the wrong club. Loved that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day Martinez had barely any difficult saves and they were putting on 100 million players and us putting on a kid and a 36 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Seems the type.of character, to actually be even more driven by a result like this, and aspire for.more, for us. I've started wondering who we have a better chance again, re playing style? City, Liverpool, or Chelsea? I reckon Liverpool's style of.play might actually suit us more. If I'm honest, that was probably.the best performance I've seen from City all season. Typical! Prior to tonight, I had Pool and Chelsea above them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was definitely a big test for us under the new management, I’m sure SG will have learnt far more about his players tonight than in the previous 2 games. I agree with your Liverpool comment, I think we will have slightly more of the ball against them and if we can go into that game off the back of a win against Leicester on Sunday then we have every chance of getting something at Anfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fancy us to get a result against Liverpool or Chelsea if really on it and got a bit of luck. I think City are better than both of them and you could see that by how they played both of those teams off the park for majority of the game when played them. It just comes down to whether they take their chances in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted December 2, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2021 With Steven in his mac and the coaching staff in their dark blue long coats, I couldn't help but notice that our bench looked like a lot like a DCI and some uniform getting ready to knock on a door from a distance - oh and that one mad haired crime scene technician at the back. I realise that's not helped the debate. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Credit to the team for continuing to play the ball out from the back despite it being very risky against Man City’s pressing. On the times we did break the press, we were able to get at them and if only Bailey had passed to Buendia… Gerrard and his team have done some great work so far and this game - particularly second half - was impressive given how dominant Man City were at times. Leicester are a good side and it’ll be a tough game on Sunday, but I have real belief that we can win that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
