The fear needs to go. I think we are scared to play. Against Liverpool we are going to be slaughtered

Nonsense.  We have been in this game until the goals.   One of which should have been disallowed.   Again decisions going against all over the pitch.   We will beat Liverpool.

I think we are in the process of being slaughtered here.

How are we scared to play? did well first half, did well for the most part against Spurs and Arsenal, problem seems to be more that how we are playing is tiring the players, mentally and physically which is why most of the goals we concede, and mistakes we make, are in the second half.

I don't think we're scared to play. I think our shape is wrong, yet again, and ergo we're playing very poorly.

I think we're against a team that's better than us who, into the bargain, have got the rub of the green. Sometimes it's not really anyone's fault.

[Edvard Remberg]

Shocker from Wesley, he can piss right off, lazy bastard.

That's the spirit

You must be watching a different game Edvard. He’s been even more fucking useless than normal today! All we ask for is effort and a bit of running - he’s done neither.

Yeah come bash him. Agreed.  Fucking hate him. If i spot him i will spit

That's a bold statement!

I’m still in disbelief that the second goal stood.

I don’t understand this game anymore.

[Mellin]

If I hear Steve McManaman tut again he's going in the back of a van.

See my other reply. I’m at work so only on beeb feed and here. And the pre match interviews where it seemed the players were not looking forward to next fixtures

every time we play a top 6 side we play with fear and are scared of them
I know it’s only 3 times this season so far but it just carries on from the last time we were here

No belief

Just seen replay of the goal - surely Sterling is offside and in Heaton's line of view? Straws and clutching I know

[kippaxvilla2]

Look on the bright side by the end of next weekend we will have played four of the traditional top six.  Only 8 more fixtures to go.

It’s a puzzling decision. He was off the whole way through and impeded Heatons line of sight. It seems a simple no-goal..

[Risso]

It's no disgrace to losing to Man City, but we've brought most of it on ourselves through mistakes and being a bit timid when we have the ball.
