The Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Liverpool

2,374 Comments
Share

Having recorded two goalless draws in their previous three outings, Manchester City can ill afford to drop further points when they do battle with Liverpool at the Etihad. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to bounce back following their 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace in Gameweek 12.

Since their resounding 5-1 victory over Bournemouth in Gameweek 9, Man City have mustered just two goals and nine shots on target in three outings. In addition, they weren’t as dominant on the creative front during that stretch, amassing 15 fewer key passes (38 compared to 52) than Liverpool. That being said, their opponents managed just nine shots inside the box and one big chance, which bodes well for their clean-sheet prospects.

Liverpool ranked top for attempts (65) over the last four Gameweeks, yet only Bournemouth (one) carded fewer big chances (three). Fashioning clear-cut opportunities has been an issue for the Merseysiders throughout this campaign, as evidenced by the fact they place bottom for big chances (four) in road clashes. On a more positive note, only three two teams permitted fewer shots inside the box (23) in the last four Gameweeks.

    If i were more mad and if Coutinho were injured i would probably do Sanchez and KDB to both Coutinho and Firmino. But i'm not so unless Cou is injured i'm going to have to bring in only one of them.

      Absolutely dreadful performance. Fair play to Liverpool, they played great, but we certainly did not help ourselves with the team selection. Thats 1 point from two matches and are now behind United again. Need to get Kompany and Silva back and cop the f%%k on. 2nd place wasnt considered good enough or acceptable by the owners last season, well things need to improve or 2nd will be the best we could hope for.
