We should have been. Despite it being City, if you are happy with what you saw for most of that first half then that is shocking.
Seeing the Rose challenge again. What a tackle.

Not everyone but yes they are good but more worrying is how far we are going back as a club Liverpool we get fourth for me now and deservedly so.
But I an worried about our direction very worried

As long as Shitty beat our rivals for top four then no damage done points-wise.

The other only team in the top 6 that still suffers heavy defeats. Guaranteed to concede 5 in at least 2 or 3 games a season. Happening more often which is a worrying trend.

First you call a sensible and serious post funny and then give me a spam rating. Why? People like you spoil the forum.

I'd say our goal difference is going to be the biggest hurdle in our attempt to attain a top four place now.

The more I watch Naughton the more convinced I am that we only signed him to help the Walker deal go through, just like we did with Etherington and Davies.
Yep, and I think he was our best player up until then...poor lad.

Anyone else think Capoue is about as fleet of foot as Vlad on his way home from the pub?

Did we deserve to be 1-1? Yes.
Did Rose deserve to be sent off? No.
Did City deserve their second goal? No.
So, apparently we didn't get what we deserved, did we? We were well in the game before that fucking linesman compounded his original error with an even bigger one. Ruined a fantastic game and maybe our season.

Sending off or not, they were a different class tonight. Only one team was going to win that match tonight for me and it was quickly apparent. We were competing brilliantly but they seemed to be in 2nd gear for stretches. Their squad has hideously underachieved for a couple of yrs now. With a manager/HC who knows what he's doing in charge now, these are the results of hunnerts of millions spent season after season for about 6 yrs. Insane strength and quality.
We also didn't give a good account of ourselves tonight when things went against us but hey, only one game in a 38 game season. We have a lot of our bastard fixtures already done and have been looking better in the 'should win' games so far under TS. I'm still expecting us to fall short but there's every chance in reality. Just my decades of glorious defeat skewing my outlook.

Frustrating night. Penalty was obviously a major point in the game, but I don't think it affected the game in terms of where the 3 points were going. Man City have the best team I can recollect seeing. The cohesion of their team is superb - just watch the players runs off the ball, the hunting down of the ball, the vision, the teamwork.
What tonight highlighted to me was:
1. Tim picked the wrong starting XI.
2. Capoue should have started in place of Bentaleb.
3. Dawson and Chiriches are both cover CB's, not first teamers. We need a new CB.
4. We need a new LB.
5. Lennon needs replacing.
6. We don't work hard enough on retaining the ball.
I think Spurger said we have gone backwards - I completely agree. We are still one of the top 6 teams, but we aren't progressing any further. Verts and Lloris will be off in the summer.

You think that performance was acceptable? We were turd bar about five or ten minutes before half time. Palace and Watford put up a better display against them.

We are the same level we have been for the last 4 seasons. The top 2/3 teams are far better than the rest and we are in the pack chasing 3/4 spot with 4/5 other teams.
Its a bad result but dont give up we are still in the hunt for 4th
