The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Baddar]

City have defended so well tonight.

Here comes Lambert!

[brenchill]

I suppose I can think to myself

What a wonderful world?

[stokeriño]

Whey, goal line technology, and a loss of a bunch of City clean sheet bonuses.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Lambert!

[Baddar]

They've pulled one back. Cracking save first time around.

[DavidMarrio]

Least we got one. Yay Lambert.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Lambert got lucky with the rebound there. Poor from Demichelis.

[The Lusophone]

Lambert, 1 down, 399 to go.

[Baddar]

Wow Lambert, what a waste then. Smash it!

[Hobo]

Rickie!

[Baddar]

Looks like it's a Zabaleta OG after all that.

Livescore have it that way already.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Liverpool players dropping like flies here.

Emre Can should have a second yellow for that dive.

[Baddar]

He could have easily sent Can off then.

[DavidMarrio]

10/10 for effort.

[The Lusophone]

If that was Ashley Young you'd all be calling for his stupid cheating head...

[Cheeky Hughes]

To be fair I'm calling for Can's stupid cheating head

[Nerf]

My favourite thing so far has been Nerf continues to complain about Johnson, Moreno is at fault for goal

Maybe because Moreno had an otherwise okay debut and showed a lot of character, despite a split second of communication breakdown with his new teammates? Whereas Glen Johnson is consistently the worst player we have and doesn't even put the effort in. Besides, the goal was Lovren's fault.

Not too disheartened, didn't play badly, just wasn't our day. Sturridge and Lovren, in particular, had shocking games. Otherwise it was just City being super clinical.

[Hobo]

I could barely see the game because my stream was awful from just before Aguero came on.

Looks worse on paper than it was. 3-1 is harsh on Liverpool. Moreno had a good game outside of the mistake that led to the opener. There was a lack of penetration that was similar to what happened against Southampton before Lambert came on. Perhaps Balotelli can help with that where Lambert probably can't over 90 mins.

Hopefully none of those injuries were too severe. Markovic looked good from what I saw, but I couldn't really tell how Can did.

[Arjen Robben]

I love how seemingly no football fan rates, or at least likes, Glen Johnson.

[The Lusophone]

He's the Stuart Downing of full backs. No ideas, no creativity. He can just run and occasionally put a wayward cross somewhere towards the box.
