Both our centremids horrendous today. Offered no shielding to centreback,didnt do enough to come back to recieve the ball from back line up, leaving only options to back pass. Take dier out and put in wanyama

I'm going to be very pissed off if the same team comes back on after HT.

That’s rubbish, City had De Bruyne and Gundogan, some of the best passers in the league, and Liverpool pressed them and forced turnovers the same way.

This match is all about tactics, and Poch’s lack of them.
That's rubbish too, so it isn't exclusive. This match is all about errors and we keep making them.

That's rubbish too. This match is all about...........:D

Dier and Sanchez equally awful
No defensive midfielder against Liverpool when we are already 1-0 down so can't play on the counter? I think that would be madness.
No defensive midfielder 1st half it would 0-0 as there would have been no assist...

We're getting overrun by Liverpool. Their high pressure is giving us a hard time keeping the ball and we're making dodgy passes which also led to 1-0.. I want Lamela for Son and Wanyama for Dier COYS

They're not even really high pressing. They'll press hard against someone like Sanchez (hoping he'll just lose his head) or at a goal kick, but apart from that its just wait until we try to give the ball to Dembele or Eriksen and then swarm those two hard. We have to work harder, think smarter, and find solutions. We've been a bit predictable.

Disappointed with Kane so far in his game.

Hasnt looked quite at the races last couple of games, IE this one and United. I love he likes to shoot and I know Strikers are a selfish breed, but just sometimes he needs to look up. Could mean the difference between 0 and some points.

We always play shit at anfield. Pisses me off

Dele is so slow with the ball these days. He has done nothing.

Dier under pressure is awful

Lets go 3-4-3 and take dele off for wanyama

With a solid base eriksen son and kane can cause damage

Dier gets a brain-fart every freaking time he play against a top 6 team. Useless.

Dembele is still on fire.
They are having to rugby tackle him to get him off the ball!
ref's appalling and has bottled the big decisions - but we are still in this especially if Kane wakes up.

Our defence should be less casual in the second half. The game is still very open. Hope Poch sees our mistakes in the first half and does something about it.... early.

If we don't start playing more directly we'll get beaten here. We need to get Kane into this more and the key is making sure the ball spend more time in their half - with or without possession. Their game plan is working out perfectly because we're hanging on to possession deep in our half and even at kick outs we don't seem to want to mix it up and compete for first and second balls.

We've wasted that half because we still haven't had a period of several minutes and phases in their half. ANd that's criminal with their back line and keeper.

What’s frustrating is we knew what to expect but have just decided to play our exact same game

No tactical adaptation and just replaying the same game we play every year here

We have much bigger problems than Trippier in this game.
At least Aurier would be more of an outlet on the right. At the moment they're waiting for Eriksen or Dembele to get it and then turning the ball over.

We had to play on the counter today it's the way to beat them time and again.
But I think because of the way we played against manure he has told them to do the same again huge mistake on his part.

Ohh and dier looks and plays like he is just to damn lazy/casual the boy needs to up his game or sit down and watch.

What about last week where he was excellent? It's funny how the Dier critics always pop up when he makes a mistake but are nowhere to be seen when he's regularly good.
