[sillan]

Pep is starting to prove Anfield is just like any other stadium.

But still a kittakani for City, even at tough times for us.

Napoliyodu thottathu just a last minute conceding alle ponkaa or vanka whatever. I said about the approach in that whole game, only a fool like u may say, we didn't play with intensity for another reason particularly for towards end of run of big games. There was no trying for a win in that game (not crucial at this stage), so was the approach to the game. I still say Klopp didn't want his players much more worse than last night. If we had played as usual against Napoli which was not at all necessary, it would have made it much more easier chittys to get away with 3 points...
City knappanu Pep's usual game approach change ayathu manassilayille - City had even better games (more balls in the box and shots at goal) in the last consecutive losses at Anfield. Pep refused to change approach after 4-3 last year on their second trip and paid the price. Yesterday, not a big change though, but you could see the caution and fear to go forward as they usually do or did last times. This game reminded me of Pep's first visit to Anfield in 16-17 season in which both teams played with caution and only goal of Wijnaldum was the difference. But both teams have grown a lot since that, but a go back from Pep even after such easy run of games not was in my dreams. Now about those penalty cries - Van Dijk's given penalty was right but was a microsecond miss. Lovren's kick on aguero? ven aguero didn't feel , he was not complaining instead got up and moved on. But other City players and Pep were like OMG... "WTF". Van Dijk's handling the ball during corner - annan defendere pulling towards the ball kandillayirikkum. Pakshe Referee chettan kandarunnu. So wasn't given. Atha athu kodukkanjathu ketto Vankikuttaa... If his arm was not pulled towards the ball, it wouldn't have hit his hands. So referee clearly saw fernandinjssjo's foul and given a free kick against ur cry.

cry baby cry... ninteyokke anfield atmosphere, counter attack randum pattempadom madakki odichu kalanju, athrathanne...

He is not at all a good penalty taker , Silva should have taken that in the absence of Aguero
My mind said he is going to miss this ....but it was far far from a miss...awful
Though the match was entertaining clear cut chances were at a premium

entertaining aayirunno .. enikkangane thonniyathe illa.. starting kollaayirunnu.. then it fizzled out....

the form of Salah or lack of it enforces the fact how much Lpool depended on him last season... it cannot be just a coincidence that him being out of form and Lpool looking laborious at the same time..

[Perumthachan]

the 3 loss against liverpool last season were all because of one simple reason - our back four defence was poor and there was a reason for that... we would go front the usual pep way, lose the ball, liverpool would counter with pace through the center, our defence would panic (for lack of cover) and liverpool would get a chance... now, if you look yesterday’s game, there were more than 6-7 instances city would still attack the pep way, silva would go front, dinho and bernardo would stay back, mendy and walker would be advancing through the flanks but the moment city lose the ball, they sense danger of counter-attack; the back-four would recoup very soon, dinho with protection, get city players behind the ball, all of a sudden what happens is liverpool is forced to go sideways and eventually when they realise they have no space to go attack, they are forced to play back to their own half... simply said, klopp's liverpool tactics got suffocated yesterday... no space in the back, not able to counter-attack... all through the game, salah had just 1 chance of going behind our back... masterclass tactic from pep... he broke liverpool's tactic of bringing the opposite players out front, snatch the ball and counter... city stayed rigid and solid with the defence... there might be some idiots who might carp that pep changed his game... ofcourse he changed his game, not so much as city parked the bus or anything... considering the change in solid defence and lack of debruyne, city still played like they do, attacked, ofcourse not upto our usual intent... still got a clean sheet, got 2 penalties denied, missed the one we got... liverpool were just lucky not to lose... city were just unlucky not to win...

why single out salah alone? atleast he had an offtarget shot. what about firminho? usually when the goalkeeper has the ball and is planning on what to do, this guy goes to attack the keeper... yesterday not once did firminho go after ederson... why was that, klopp afraid of something? what about mane? that guy always finds space behind the opposition defence... ithu randum innale nadannilla.... sambhavam liverpool had a really tiring 7 last games (spurs, psg, saints, chelsea (2), napoli, city) ennuvechu klopp daa, anfield daa, salah-firmini-mane daa... WWWLDLD aanu result...

Ninte oru oil panam kondu ketti uyarthiya chitty kottaram.... Kurachu penalty cry allathe onnum illa... De Brunyne is a great player, I respect that. He played all games last season against us at Anfield and ended up loosing. He comes in or not not much difference going to make baby.. Silva both played, except Mahrez who made a shot at goal? Lolz.

Liverpool showed in the first 10-15 minutes how City will be if we played in our style. But the last 2 wks means, we couldn't continue that atleast first half.

If you look at goal stats, its not just Salah; about 57 goals scored between Salah-Firminho-Mane last season (32, 15,10) and 91 goals all games mostly in PL and CL - so far 10 in 8 games . Salah when started last season was in similar sort of form. Its bcoz he scored 32 goals last term, even when just 5 games completed all including media are all over him... But club position at this stage comparing to last season is far better.
