not to discredit CA but it was a world wide field that johnson ran into. a win like this is surely great but we need to beat the smaller teams to make these kind of results count. perhaps from now on its better to start with bellamy and maxi, and bench downing and henderson (and carroll).

did not watch the game but i heard we were palying badly in the 2nd? read somewhere we played for counter attacking?

Yes, we played extremely bad in the second half. Normally, we played better in 2nd half, no? I think the players get complacent. For 20minutes or so, we were defending deep despite conceded a goal. Instead of pushing forward, we looked like we were looking for a draw. I had no idea why though. Luckily, a moment of brilliance from Adam and Johnson made it up for us

c'mon guys. Players did mistake on the pitch. Well at least they bounce back an stood on their feet to win back the game.

If you missed the game this morning because of a power failure, earthquake or whatever, the replay is on now

Considering the fatigue level, I don't think there was anything wrong to play counter attack in the 2nd half. We were pressing them aggressively in the first half so its understandable that the players started to show some mental and physical fatigue in the second half. Adam in particular was clearly pancit, he looked very laborious so i think the idea of bringing in Jordan to help tighten up the midfield made a lot of sense.

We seriously need to start playing high pressing football again, if we can destablize a team like Chelsea, imagine the impact of pressing against lesser teams. Hopefully, the reason why we're not seeing much of Maxi and Kuyt is that Kenny wants them fit and ready for the 2nd half of the season.

City's back 4 is really tough to break down. With Kompany coming back after a red card, lets hope our lads put on their best attacking form so as defensively.

attack is the best defense

Watching the repeat with the volume up and noticed Luis Garcia's chant being sung by the away end.

I think liverpool should give glen Johnson a winger role and let martin kelly take his right back place. Since Glen Johnson enjoy going forward, let him be an attacking force.

superb spirit shown by the lads last night especially the 2nd goal. reminds me of gerrard's long pass back when he's paired with didi hamann, crossing to an open player on the other side of the pitch. lots of goals came that way back then IMO. was a great performance nonetheless. certainly cant wait for what KK have installed for city

Okie, take that Fernando, I will just take 3 points for each and every match coming!

but ur siggy still shows el nino with a Liverpool background?

I appreciated him for what he did for us. Hated his act in January by deserting the club but support him as good footballer. Still a fan of him. Plus, kinda lazy to dig around new siggy to change. Plan to get one of Lucas / Suarez

I saw Dyer play against the mancs and he was giving Evra a torrid time so much so that Fergie had to replace him with Fabio. Reminds me of a young Shaun Wright Phillips. He showed no fear and took the game to Evra by running at him in one-on-one situations. Might prove to be good value.

i hav a very strong feeling tat we will be the first team this season to beat MC, provided KD play the same lineup again, with Lucas and Adam playing the midfield duo , Maxi is sharp so is Bellamy, why did KD sub out Bellamy so soon?

that what i think

u haven't been quite a predictioner (if I remember)

never the less, its my hope we stretch MC, given they (MC) have all wins n 1 draw, we'll (still) be cautious.

We'll take each game as it comes along. christmas/year end schedules will be hectic, & it will be super to be within touching distance with the leaders.

Only if Carroll can play like Patrick Berger

who took the place of Maxi in yesterday's nite match?

btw, i strongly believe Miereless purposely shot the ball over the bar

and Torres was trying to prove a point but failed
