Hope Bailey is left on the bench next time, i expected him to be a lot better.
Dont think he'll be seeing the bench anytime soon

As I say Marv, I didn't see the game so have no eight to comment however, we're we applying "no pressure" because City can run rings round you and rip you open?It’s the manner of the display in the first half. We were sluggish and showed them far too much respect, applied zero pressure and made too many mistakes. Second half, we got at them and they didn’t like it. Totally respectable loss from that half. First half was a gift.
Ramsey has a lot of energy and has also been fantastic recently and was unlucky to be left out entirely.He was a bit ponderous when we needed energy.
I actually think it was to appease him due to the not signing a new contract rumours.

We did ok second half but the first half, they had 3 chances before we'd even seen the ball the first after 53 seconds and we hadn't actually touched it.I didn't see the game tonight but just reading the reviews, it's amazing what gerrard has done to this midfield. Mcginn playing really well, great reports for Ramsey and nakamba recently, commentary saying Luiz played a blinder too this evening and a tidy cameo from sanson. Fair play.
Other seasons going 2 down to city, the players heads dropped and they sat back and made mistakes, but there is more determination and belief now. Other times the centre back wouldn't hit that as sweet or silva shot gets skyed. We'll be a problem for a lot of teams this season.
Yep Dougie and Marv second half very comfortable mixing it with them.Could have got ugly after the first half but credit to the manager and the players for not rolling over and making a game of it.
I don't care who the player is or what age he is Chucky should be scoring from that chance. I t was the only one we were going to get or likely to get . I thought that was a really strange substitution considering there was Ramsey and Anwar who could have come on and played that position. Gerrard said one or two were carrying niggles so the only thing I can think of was Ramsey and Anwar were those players otherwise I struggle to see why Chucky came on.
I thought Douglas had a really good game as did Marvellous. Nice little cameo from Sanson as well. Ollies goal was a superb finish.

Clearly . I’m so glad he reads your postsWatkins has been listening to my criticisms clearly.
The first 10 minutes was scary. God knows how many times we touched the ball. Not many I bet.

It was 53 seconds, when we ko the second half we managed 18 seconds before giving it away.May be wrong, but I think Martinez's save was our first touch.
