wtf is wrong with city? they're favourites to win the league and yet the eithad is dead and they're playing like they couldn't care less

Right Carroll, you'll make the squad now, so don't fucking bother doing out tomorrow, okay?

See what Carra said today?

Now, I want to make it clear I’ve no axe to grind with Andy. I found him to be a good lad and his spell at the club wasn’t without highlights. He did what every Liverpool No 9 should do and scored two winning goals against Everton, including one at Wembley in the 2012 FA Cup semi-final.

I wanted Liverpool to sign him, especially after he tormented our defence one day at St James’ Park. If we could have got him for between £12-15m, it would have been good business. The feeling around the club when we were in for him was that maybe he could mature into our Didier Drogba

Unfortunately, though, Liverpool’s decision to pay £35million was a big mistake and it never did Andy any favours. He started well, with two goals against Manchester City on his first start, but it quickly became apparent he wasn’t the right fit for the club.

In training, he’d complain if the ball was not flung into the box — and I don’t mean from out wide. He wanted the ball to come in to him from close to the halfway line, but at Liverpool that was never going to happen.

There were other things. He found the intensity of playing three games every week difficult.

Before he might have been used to getting himself right for a match on a Saturday, then spending time socially with his mates — as we all did when we were young — but at Liverpool the training and professional demands are relentless.

He would very rarely complete a full week on the training field at Melwood and, eventually, that takes a toll. If you aren’t fully conditioned, you are susceptible to injuries and Andy suffered his fair share.Another major issue was the fact he lacked pace. He suits the way Sam Allardyce operates and is West Ham’s focal point but at Liverpool that would never have been the case. Andy may feel Brendan made the decision about him too quickly but it was the right call.

I'll say again.

Lifeless entity.

Looks like nobody really gives a shit.

The bit that's wrong is that they're favourites to win the league

City not in their natural habitat

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Ready for WC glory

iirc, he'd played fucking brilliantly up until he did that in the tenth minute, then proceeded to put in a WOAT striking performance until he was subbed off. Don't know what he's thinking sometimes

 

[Billy Big Bollocks]

The way Owen talks reminds me of Peter O'Hanrahahanrahan from The Day Today

 

[cartoon_soldier]

It sucks to have to support City just to keep Liverpool off the title

 

[Meier]

Would have been a harsh handball. Maybe we just outside the box anyway. Right in Yaya's danger zone though.

Why would you do that? Just embrace the light.

[cartoon_soldier]

Because keeping Liverpool at ZERO premier league titles is glorious. They can crow about history all they want, in the modern era they have been shit.

To be fair I thought the same about Leicester last night.

Billed as a promotion party and there were fairly large chunks of empty seats and not much of a party atmosphere.

You must be pleased that football only started in 1992.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Andy Carroll... mature into our Didier Drogba.

[Walshy]

City are shit.

Lets hope they play like this at Anfield.

 

[Arnie]

Think Lovren is well overrated me.

 

[Clegg]

Can we not quote the Rodriguez injury gif pls

-_-

 

[subtles]

So close.

 

[Meier]

Fucking hell, Edin. So many missed sitters in his City career.

They do better with Boruc

 

[Fergie]

LOL.


Pen to Saints.

 

[Splatt]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Hmmm another incident to put in the debate bank for my inevitable "Yaya Toure is overrated" argument with my friend.

 

[Ushojax]

lol

Did Fonte swap shirts?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Don't think I've ever seen one like that before. All his weight seems to be on his left leg, yet it's his right that twists collapses under him.

Looks like a 'back by next season if he's lucky' one.





pls score

 

[Frank the Great]

PENAL

[Meier]

Fucking hell. Should be 2-0 then about to be 1-1 a minute later.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Brendan wants him doesn't he

You can still change your mind

 

[Fergie]

1-1. Great pen that.

 

[Clegg]

[subtles]

No pressure.

Only dreams now.
