Citeh vs Scousers

[saint_bert]

Citeh looking very solid.

 

Been very impressed with Adam Johnson and Yaya Toure.

 

Scousers been abit meh, although they made Joe Hart make an outstanding treble save.

 

Quality keeper there.

[Andy_Porter]

Liverpool have been terrible. Gerrard and Torres in particular.

 

Agreed about Adam Johnson, he should be a fixture in the England side from now on. Same with Joe Hart.

[saint_bert]

Lovely stuff 3-0

 

Was very suprised AJ was not taken to the world cup. He will be a big player for England im sure. And like you say Joe Hart

[Evil Monkey]

Hart, Milner, Johnson and Richards stood out, and they're all English. We're going to rinse euro 2012.

Agree, De Jong i always think is a great player and Kompany.

 

Thought Lescott looked clumsy and gash though

[SuperMikey]

No way was Lescott worth the £20m+ they paid for him, utterly ridiculous. He's gash.

Looks like the Citeh team are starting to gel though, they could well be challenging for the title based on that game.

[saint_bert]

Still with players like Balotelli, Silva, Adebayor all to come back into the team.

 

Frightning really.

Balotelli started, but i'd agree that their strength in depth is crazy.

Not last night he didnt?

[SuperMikey]

No, Balotelli was carrying a knee injury last night, he didn't play.

[Andy_Porter]

Tevez up front with three from Silva, Milner, Balotelli and Johnson flooting behind with Toure and De Jong holding is frightening. They have so much talent going forward.

 

Compare those seven with a similar selection from Liverpool (Torres, Kuyt, Gerrard, Jovanovic, Cole, Lucas and Poulsen) and you see the vast difference between the two teams not to mention the massive squad Man City have if any of them get injured. Liverpool really are going to get left behind especially now Mascherano and Aquiliani are both on their way.

Couldnt wish it on a nicer team. Although feel bad for Roy

For anyone who still thinks Gerrard is a world class central midfielder -

77% pass accuracy and only one succesfull ball into the box all night. Compare that with someone like Xavi, Iniesta, Scholes, Modric, Fabregas etc and it's just embarassing.

According to the current bun, he was "everywhere" last night.

 

I honestly wonder do they actually watch the games?
