Massively frustrating night. More or less completely dominate the game against a Sevilla side nottin' like what we faced Basle. Self-inflicted mistakes undo the hard work. Just frustrating and adds more pressure Moscow now. (And get on the flare fired the ref that game. Spartak get F for that.).

Thought Gomez had another good game. Messed up the goal like, which started with Can ******** out the edge the box and then Lovren completely leaving his man unmarked the 6-yard box. But overall he was composed in defence and supported the attack great. Even the sending off was little in it far as I could see looking across. Karius far more composed and dominating. Great, quick distribution too which lead to some great counters. Mo and Sadio superb as ever. Along with Gini who played well. Even Alby.had a decent game.

Henderson might as well not been on the pitch along with Can and I just can't be arsed with Lovrens continued, boneheaded, costly mistakes now. It just is what it is. Least we can now bid without fear of sanctions van Dijk January. And that's what a month off work does for yer huh Phil? Come back utter *****. Embarrassing he got cheered on like a returning hero after the way he's behaved and **** all over everyone. And he was straight off down the tunnel the end after that without acknowledging the crowd. I wouldn't even play him Sat'day Burnley. Make him deal with the indignation of next Tuesday the league Cup to really ram the message home. The little rat. ***** subs too. WTF is Alex 'sposed to do with 3 mins to go? Needed on much sooner.

Not a bad result in terms the group. Get something Moscow and then the back-to-backs Maribor and see where we stand the return Seville. Just frustrating that yet again L'pool found a way to cost themselves without the opposition having to do much of anything.

Absolutely boss couple of new big banners BTW the bottom the Kop before the game. Three separate ones of Rafa, Paisley and Fagan with their respective European Cups. The one of Smokin Joe the deck chair Rome feet up with arl big ears is a belter.

Up the brilliant but F frustrating Reds!

*Edit* Forgot Bobby's missed peno among the frustration. That completely kills the game on half time. That word again. Frustrating.

There's just a massive shortage of CBs on the market tbh. Look how much money City spend on that position alone and they're still strugglig.

Klopp's judgement with goalkeepers was always suspect though.
 
Just catching up on the carnage in Maribor tonight.

Superb. Just what we frigging need. Another Euro away you're having to tread real careful and watch yer back. Sighs. As if Moscow wasn't enough of a pain in the backside two weeks time.

Hope City come back unscathed from Rotterdam with those twats the last few days.
 
You have a better view than me Scouse. Tell me how lazy is Matip because honestly i'm sick and tired of watching him jog back lazily after he gets pulled out of position.
 
Coutinho was the worst player on the pitch when he came on. Seriously looked unfit and had a touch that made Lukaku's look worldclass :P. Bench it is for him until he can get back upto speed.

Honestly mate, he's been equally as poor as Lovren the second half of last season on. Looked to of turned it round with three great games Palace, Hoffenheim and Arsenal. But back to absolute ***** City and tonight he was all over the place defensively but great going forward.

I aren't arsed about conceding goals. We always will by the very nature of the chances we take going forward. That's footie and people forget the other team is trying as hard to score as you are. But I just want a competent defence that doesn't gift the opposition goals yer know? That's not asking for much is it? Don't have to be World beaters. Just reliable lads that will do the basics. They get beat fair and square then fair *****. You can accept that. But to completely dominate supposedly the second best team the group and have it all undone with two shocking pieces of defending just frustrates the living **** out of you. Sevilla didn't even have to work to create their two openings. We handed them to them on a plate.

Just ..... Frustrating. Again.

Said it over the page. Frigging embarrassing many cheered him on like a returning hero after how he's behaved and **** all over everyone. And then to top it off he was the first straight off the pitch the end without acknowledging anyone.

I wouldn't even start him Sat'day personally. Leave him the indignity of the League Cup next Tuesday to ram the message home to the little rat.
 
At this point i'd rather throw Gomez into one of the CB positions. If he does make a mistake atleast he will learn from it.

Been saying that all year. What, exactly, do we have to lose? He's been great RB and his fitness is finally back after the 14 months out so play him and Trent. Shouldn't be needing to rest/ rotate an 18 and 20-year-old FFS. And certainly not this early in the season.
 
Was there much in Joe's sending off mate? Seemed something and nottin' but hard to tell from the speck I had the Kop and hionestly not looked at any highlights since I've been back the house.

I know there was some questionable reffing all night long. The one on Salah in full flow first half that stopped a clean through break and wasn't even punished with a free kick, let alone a card, was criminal that comes straight to mind.

They didn't even show the incident tbh but Gomez and Moreno both had good games on their flanks. I didn't mind the ref tbh thought he was great, he let the game flow and didn't blow the whistle for every tackle or 50/50.
 
Ta. See if I can find it on something. Still wide awake so I'll have a mooch around in a minute.

Mad that I've looked at 4 different highlights and as you said, not one shows it. I shall keep searching before I give up for the night lol.

Was a foul before the second goal.

Nothing in that at all having just watched it. Even the way European matches get reffed with very little leeway.

Mo wins the ball back fair and square. The Sevilla lad needs to be stronger and not go down lack a sack of _____.

Found it finally. Yeah. Little in it and far from a bad one. Probably a booking as the quickness of the Sevilla fella gets there first but it could have gone either way. Right the end the highlights package from BT here.

Was defo right for him to go. Just silly fouls but he will learn from them and is certainly good enough to.

Was defo a foul mate. Yeah the player went down like a sack. But he puts his left foot across him for the tackle and trips the clips the players foot, added with a shoulder and sends him down.
 
Not that it matters now, but I can't agree with that at all.

If you think that's a defo foul, you may as well go the full hog and make football a non-contact sport. That's just two fellas challenging for the ball and one not being anywhere near strong enough and looking for a free kick he rightly didn't get IMO.
