Good question. He still looks clueless. Borini's been a little sloppy too. The whole team's gotta improve for the 2nd half. So far only Suarez has been providing the fireworks but wasted 1 great chance with the header. Captain also having a quiet game so far.

Need to up the pace going forward I believe. And press the opponents to regain possession quickly. Easier said than done, though.

Aih...Painful start to the season this..Hopefully can bounce back with a good win against Hearts in midweek

Don't think it's tiki taka we were playing. Lol. But yeah, defence is key. I felt the players weren't closing down WBA players quickly enough that day. Need to regain possession as quickly as possible if we are to play tiki taka....or whatever that BR is trying to imply. If you see Barca play, they hound the opposition to regain possession. I'd like to see that more often when LFC plays.

Defence should start from the front. I miss Kuyt now...

What's the latest news on Dempsey btw?

I thought we weren't good on Saturday but we weren't horrible either. Suarez was dangerous but imho he should have scored the header. Gera's goal gave wba confidence. Early 2nd half, we were about to gain momentum and then came the sending off. Tottally killed off our chances then. Bad result. Gotta shake it off quickly. Hopefully put in a good solid performance against Hearts to get the confidence back before the City game.

On another note, our flying Dutchman has become a goal-scoring machine for Fenerbahce.

Thursday night there. Friday morning Malaysia time

What happened to Walcott rumors? He still hasn't signed a new contract at Arsenal right? Between him, Sinclair and Johnson, who would you guys prefer to sign right now?

Btw, can't imagine what Dempsey's feeling right now. Become a rebel at Fulham by refusing to play, LFC haven't make a bid and then watch his team win 5-0 on opening day while LFC were suffering at WBA.

Skepticism.....skepticism everywhere. Lol. Didnt watch the game. Really that bad?

And the woodwork count has started i see...

Yeah, should be confirmed today.

11pm kick-off bro

Any news of Enrique's injury update? I hope we put in a solid defensive performance tonight regardless of the partnership in the centre of defence. Being realistic, a draw would satisfy me considering the squad depth of City. A win would be a bonus.

Wow, Sterling gets the start. Lets see what the kid has in a big game like this.

Would BR put Suarez on the left and Borini in the middle I wonder

Aiyoh....good chance that

Tell u what Sterling's got a nice first touch and he's playing with confidence

SKRTEL!!!!!!

Gotta agree Allen was pure class in the first half. And credit must be given to Shelvey too. I think he's done a decent job since coming on for Lucas

OK result. Could have been a great result. But I'm satisfied with the performance. But obviously, gotta cut out those costly mistakes and finish chances better

I thought Shelvey did well too. Did some good pressing and more composed on the ball than usual. If his shot had gone in I would have shouted like a mad man lol. On a side note, Allen man of the match for sure.

Haha very mellow in press conference. Very stern during training sessions. Not one to mess with. Video taken during pre-season?
