ake has to take full ownership of that mistake…u cannot give a soft-a$$ pass-back to your goal-keeper in that manner & expect him to save u from your lack-of-awareness…pep had no answers to endo & co. in this fixtures…thus, removing KDB…city very very lucky to walk away with a draw…liverpool could've easily scored 3 more goals…if not for diaz' poor touches
Ederson almost took out garnacho last week, he didnt learn from it, now penalty and injury
De Bruyne is a great passer but has a lot of limitations as well. He is no Gerrard to press, be aggressive, be a leader, when he is having a bad day he can be a liability. People do like to blow his trumpet a lot being the GOAT midfielder and other fairy tales.
Passing the ball back to the goal keeper has to end.
Goal keepers can't play the ball.
Klopp for me is the most unsuccessful great manager that I know.
9 years in EPL, 5 years of competing toe-to-toe with Mancity, yet he managed to win the title once in a year where the game was depleted due to pandemic.
Got to the UEFA Champions League final at least 4times, won 1 and that was only because it was against SPURS.
After Kevin De Bruyne complained about being taken out, P00P Guardiola should sit him out for a month.
I fully expect KDB to put in a transfer request before too long
Come on!! I’m a City fan, but Liverpool are a great team. I’ll take a point at Anfield any time. We never win there.
I felt relief when they took KDB off
alvarage playing left wing lol 😂
Pep should have subbed Bernardo instead of kevin. He was just too awful to watch in this game. Absolutely awful. With Kevin we would have a threat at least with rodri and Kovacic behind
What about Haaland? Why not take him off
City usually struggle at Anfield. A draw was a good result.
Ederson needs to calm down
HALAAND NEVER SHOW UP IN BIG GAMES
Endo pocketed KDB. What a signing 👏🏻
who is craig burley though
This is what makes Pep great. Subs off his superstar legendary midfielder because it was better for the team in that part of the game. Goes and has a chat to clear it up. Much respect.
He should have kept KDB and taken off Bernardo Silva who was just as poor and lost the ball alot of times. kDB is a player,who can do something magic in a solit second even if he has played poor, either shoot and score or play Haaland through. They could have won with KDB. 3 points is better than 1 when you are trailing behind..
Also, he shouldnt have put Doku on, Bobb is way safer with the ball and rarely makes dangerousturnovers like Dokumdoes. Doku either loses it when he tries to go past a player or when he goes past a player he plays the ball blindly in front of goal and hope for the best. 9 of 10 times it goes tothe other team. Bobb can also take on players, but he always has a thought behind his passes and can make through passes to Haaland or Foden.
Just imagining if KDB arguments over being Sub…
Could be one of the Man United players Arguing with Ten the show could be fun😂😂😂
Pep should have removed Haland and Alvarez and broughtin Doku, mateo and played kdb as false 9
When is pep going to realise haaland is generally a spare wheel .
pep nerves again.
KDB should’ve been a sub imo. With Liverpool bringing on Mo on after the break could’ve help slow that down with a fresh KDB.
Respect to deb ruyn not like mahrez for was not saying a world
Liverpool gets so much quality from their money, far better than City
Josep just loves being asked questions..
Pep is a genius… I trust his decision even tho I felt that haaland should have come off as well he offered little treat in the second half
It would be good to find a reconciliation between KDB and Pepe, otherwise the internal climate of MC will remain tense and the football friends of the world will not be able to see a 100% MC game in the near future and the super beautiful and creative situations that KDB can and is in the team
Man city is not push back because of opposition bad coaching. Most of the teams come in defeated.
