    I disagree with the posters saying Coutinho has been poor, for me he has been on if the few looking to get in between and test Cities shape. It's been a very good half and we have looked strong, we don't need to change just yet unless we see Manquillo coming on for Johnson.

    Keep it as it is, bring Marko on for the last 20 if we're still trailing and give him the chance to show he's as good as he says he is.

    They are playing at home and have had 2 shots on goal. When will you realise that its keeping them worrying about what we can do which will bring about goals for us.

    Here here....but it is bloody galling that one mistake costs us a goal. But up to then we played ok and defended well. Limited to city to one shot on target before the goal. Like to see us get more support to Sturridge but in games like this our midfield looks lightweight and city's so powerful that we are having to get everyone back behind the ball.

    Think being a bit harsh on Coutinho. Given the ball away a couple of times, but the way he plays you're bound to. He won't have a pass completion rate of 90% because he tries harder more imaginative balls which are more likely to create a goal. Obviously wont always get through but rather he keep trying as one will get through and create a chance.

    I don't think we've done too much wrong. Should have done better from set pieces. We've had about 4 free kicks and 2 or 3 corners and we've not been on the end of 1 of them yet. That at a time when we were the better side as well. Other than that, more of the same and just need to be a bit sharper in the final 3rd.... or have a lucky bounce/mistake go our way <whistle>

    You're actually right there mate.

    That's twice in a week ffs.

    if you play the same way 2nd half, you'll get something from the game imo.

    That's nothing to do with the size of our midfield. It's called being organised. Get men behind the ball and frustrate City, keep it tight and look to hit them on the break.

    Actually think Henderson & Allen have been better than Toure & Fernando in the middle.

    Just need to hope City don't pick up their game too much - hard to see them being as slow in the 2nd.

    I'm happy enough if you can be losing lol. Moreno has looked good...it's simply newness That's gone against him there.

    Just a little off with the final pass.

    Sorry but Johnson doesn't belong in the first eleven ....I'll moan all day about him because he has offered no questions to City.....in fact he allows them to get reorganised.

    Sturridge very very close there...
    Could easily have gone the other way.

    City in but great covering from Moreno <ok>

    Good rescue by Moreno, risky leaving his man but cut the angle down well.

    Not a fan how we're bringing everyone back for corners at the moment.

    Last year we were a threat from defending a corner because Sterling/Sturridge or Suarez were left up there to try and hit them in the break.

    Impressed with Moreno until the obvious .Allen playing well and Sterling & Studge looking dangerous in flashes but the passing a bit off and due to our lack of physical players it needs to be spot on

    Players are stupid sometimes. Clearly trip another player and then protest their innocence.

    Should be an automatic yellow for anyone that does it when it is so obvious it's a foul.

    Clever free kick, Hendo should have got it across earlier. Gerrard finds the keeper again from another corner <doh>
