The acoustics difference between Anfield and Spurs stadium is so noticeable after back to back games. Takes very little for the noise to reverberate around the Spurs ground.

Agree with you both. Said both points you made to my mate this morning. I feel Gordon is sticking to pre programmed patterns which I personally feel takes away a lot from his game as I preferred him with a more instinctive and aggressive approach and was willing to take whatever rough edges and discipline issues that brought to the table as we could rotate with Barnes. The other being his importance to the squad and pecking order. He’d definitely be the first id sell if needed to and I’d think easiest to replace. Wouldn’t mind Willock getting a run there at times personally. Anyway… Miley needs more minutes and trust.

Carra in the refs earpiece it seemed… “definitely not a yellow…” I know we shouldn’t get overly concerned about these things but surely Carra shouldn’t be commentating on Liverpool games. Clear conflict of interest and can set narratives and agendas to suite.

Wrong thread I know but to add to the conversation it’s pretty clear Willock benefits from playing alongside Joelinton and to be able to interchange. He’s not a midfielder. Also not the right thread but I feel Gordon is causing us structural problems all down that side of the pitch.

Probably gets given the Cup Final.

I’ve had a few visits there also and agree. Certainly in the upper tier where I’ve ended up most times. Thinking outside the box as needless to say we lost comfortably both times I feel the way City plays not very conducive to a great atmosphere. They kind of suck the life out of the opposition and its fans. As great as they obviously are. To back this up I managed to see the great Pep Barcelona team in its pomp at the Nou Camp. That was dull also. The lack of contact allowed these days and technical fouling etc is killing the enthusiasm bit by bit.

Not sure what the GK was doing there for that Liverpool goal.

We had a full run up to Fulham also and looked flat. Hopefully not a repeat this weekend 🤞🏻

Is he having to make any saves of note?

This is probably going against the general narrative but I wasn’t that impressed with the Birmingham fans. Maybe down to where I was stood in the away end but apart from the obvious build up and great start by scoring within a minute once we equalised and took control they were very quiet. Perked up before halftime when they equalised but second half with Sandro pulling the strings they were absolutely nothing special. Certainly nothing to aspire too TBH.

Not that I’m expecting us to win or was expecting another final appearance so quick for that matter but the concern I do have over the final that I didn’t expect is us just playing once a week. It doesn’t seem to of worked out as we expected so far. Liverpool have a big game midweek before the final.

Must win. Which usually suits us. Don’t quote me on this though

Well… on a positive. Hopefully a big reaction and if you were going to want a win between Man City and Forest it was always Forest we are chasing down realistically.

Burn holding his ground there?

Isak takes Bruno’s through ball in his stride and Gordon takes more care with his through ball and you could weirdly be looking at a different game. Got bad vibes from KO watching our midfield looking over their shoulders. Got to be more aggressive if playing that way.

Sobering 1st half and a reminder how good Man City are… Especially at home. Liverpool away will be similar I fear if Gordon continues not to protect Hall and we remain without any pace whatsoever in the backline.

Have thought since the final was confirmed EH might play Tino in the final LB

Regarding the atmosphere I’m confident it will be an improvement unless of course Liverpool score very early. Especially more than one! Far too many people were hungover last time. Then the game itself I felt we went into pretty much 50/50 after the Semi before we lost Pope and also Bruno had not played previous 3 games. The second goal coming so quick after the first and both after Schar had took a whack to the head IIRC just Sumer our old luck up. Wouldn’t be surprised if everyone felt a little sorry for themselves and it reflected in the atmosphere. Going in as underdogs will definitely help this time round 🤞🏻

Great player but this sums him up perfectly…

To add more context to this. I mentioned months ago that I’d heard (can’t recall exactly where from) that we did have some big deals on the “hold pile” at the EPL which caused us to have the PSR imbalance of having to sell Minteh & Anderson to balance the books meanwhile. So hopefully we are one of the clubs who can claim for wrongful treatment 21-24.

Like I said… if buts and maybes. I do think personally you’d of had to of took it to them 2021-24. You couldn’t just say could’ve would’ve should’ve. IMO of course

As have us using them as our stalking horse.
