2-2 FT. Ultimately, a fair result between two quality sides.
You'd never guess that with the amount of moaning sh*te on here though.
Ridiculous, isn't it? Cracking game between two of the best sides the league has ever seen. If only people would just appreciate the fact they are watching a good game of football rather than the turgid sh*te the likes of Chelsea and the mancs put on show each weekend.
Yes, we were particularly poor for half an hour during that first half. This is a City side though which had only conceded one goal and 5 shots on target in the seven games they played prior to playing us. We scored twice. We are the only team in the league that can go toe-to-toe with this lot and have the courage to go at them. Of course it's disappointing to lose a lead twice and both goals were avoidable, but rather than shitting on our own players, applaud the opposition and just admit that the likes of Foden and Bernardo Silva are absolute quality. City will always create chances against any team, certainly when they're on it like they were today.
The vast majority of the people on here wanted Milner subbed off at half time for Gomez. Yet Milner was instrumental in us getting a foothold in that second half and improved massively. The lad is 35 years old and has seen it all. He has been on a yellow so many times in tough games for us. How many times has he actually seen a red though? He knows what he is doing and so does Klopp. Have a little faith in the lads out there on the pitch, just like Klopp has. Yet armchair Joe wanted him gone. How did Gomez get on that second half?
The other discussion about midfield options is getting boring too. Klopp had two fit midfielders on the bench and decided against subbing any of them on. He had plenty of options to shake things up (Firmino as a #10 with Jota up top, Keita or Ox on for any of the three out there). He clearly preferred the three on the pitch and just because airmchair Joe thinks otherwise, that doesn't mean it's actually the right call. The kneejerking in here during the game hit all time highs.
