English League Football ** spoilers ** [21st - 23rd August 2010]

At least we settled down into the game coming up to the end of the half. Hope for some better fortune in the second half.

Is that possible? He was scary enough then!

Two seasons ago he was a monster then he got injured and seemed to lose all confidence. Great to see him going in to tackles/people 100% committed again.

Poor half from us. Torres/Ngog and Lucas/Gerrard isn't working. Need to take one of the strikers off, bring on Poulsen and push one of Lucas or Gerrard in to the hole.
 
What little attacking we've done we've tried to batter our way through the middle, when we should be looking to get down the wings against City's weak full backs. The problem is Jovanovic has looked toothless and Kuyt hasnt been able to take more than two touches without losing the ball. Torres also still looks way off the pace.

I'd be tempted to take off Kuyt for Poulsen and free up Gerrard playing inside right, with Johnson bombing on behind him.
 
Liverpool are just being brushed aside all over the pitch, City have put together a very big /strong squad and I've said for ages now that Lescott/Richards on the wing with any of their cb's in the middle makes a back four unmatched in strength and size anywhere in the world. Lescott with a bit of form at the level he was at with Everton at his best and that defence will be scary, considering how few games they lost in the past two years anyway.

However offensively, Milner and JOhnson run up the wings but are getting very few dangerous balls into the box, the 4-3-3 is leaving Tevez with literally no delivery into the box at all and the few times he's got the ball its deep with no one in the box.

City, for the domination and strength and the amount they are winning the ball should have created so many more chances.


Richards is ridiculously strong, for his size he's ridiculously fast, got a huge leap and actually plays the overlap very well, all he needs is a run of games.

Javanovic/Skrtel's main part of their games is strength and he sent both flying so easily.
 
Yes!!! Well done Tevez and Richards...he has a hell of a leap for his size....been really impressed by us tonight and with more time we can get this team more solid :)
 
Wish we had Cesc, Song and RvP for all our game against them at Anfield, and that our striker and defender weren't new. Really do think we missed a chance to win there.

Edit - Adam Johnson's had another great game. Great ball control and technique...
