"we won the second half"

 

 

[baldeagle]

Good to see some fight in a very depleted team was fearing the worst after the first half

[tickler28]

Happy with that result in the end...escaped complete embarrassment which was the way it was headed at half time....scored 3....lost by 3 which pretty much everyone said they'd be happy with...won the second half....take away there 2 penalties and 2 goals from corners and we won the match!! ☺😗😗

Rodgers can be so bizarre. Goes defensive at Liverpool 3-1 up. Went ****ing nuts today in attacking sense 

[Dahnsouff]

How the hell is Pep going to justify that?  

[Tuna]

Decent second half performance, yet again the old set pieces achilles heel strikes again, totally fed up with it.

 

Patchwork defensive lineup and coming away with just -3 goal difference is a decent result in the circumstances.

We were talking about record Premier League defeats at half time!

Everyone apart from Eddie Howe knows Leicester are broken so 6-3 away to Man City is credible.

Kolo, **** off

Does he actually do anything or is he just around for the "bantz"? 

[CosbehFox]

Also the front three deserves huge credit for that second half

[eastendfox]

Our reserves gave the title favourites a decent game. Move on.

First team to score 3 against Man City this season. 

 

Great effort! 

Think RB Leipzig scored three against them

[theessexfox]

Quite funny 

[lgfualol]

Wasnt as humiliating as I thought it would be. Corners and defending are so bad, Rodgers and colleagues don't have a clue.

Considering we all thought that would be horrendous fair play to them. With covid and injuries our squad is massively depleted yet they showed fight and got 3 back at the etihad.  Well done boys!

This game does show me that Brendan CAN turn dire situations around. They might not entirely do a 180 but they can at least stop ploughing into the icebergs.  We now need to take that attitude from the second half and apply it to our games, full stop. 

 

I don't want any more excuses from him. He's shown he can win things, he's shown he can make changes to systems or mindset. So fuching apply those skills he's so well paid for and get things back on track. I want a top 10 finish this season.

Football is amazing. Thought we'd lose about 8-0 after 25 then they score a fifth and you feel really flat  

 

Didn't learn anything new- we are appalling defensively yet can be explosive and fantastic going forward. 

 

Not an unexpected result, still the same problems exist but the likes of Iheanacho and Maddison are performing really well which is good.

I got the 6 right sadly.

 

They were taking the piss on 5 live out of our laughable inability at set pieces.

 

We need a seasoned coach and experienced keeper. 

We've got an experienced keeper.

[Guest Kopfkino]

Some really poor individual actions cost us massively first half, made it look worse than it was albeit it was a shambles defensively. Second half we put together what we threatened first half and I was chuffed with the way we tried to attack the game all the way through.

 

The set pieces are pure satire now but i don’t even care, I’ve just got used to it and saw far more than I expected from that team

[hebangsthedrums]

Bizarrely think we may take more momentum from that than a humdrum 3-0 loss.

Hopefully that helps us against Liverpool - as someone in the match thread said, Man City are soulless and I'd much rather lose by 3 goals to them than Liverpool who are a gross club. 

[Andy11111]

Popped to the shop at half time, came back 4-3 😱shame about the final result

[goody2028]

Great we scored 3 and put the pressure on credit for that but it’s still ridiculously poor defending isn’t it. Still can’t complain too much as we were seriously unlucky with team selection and missing players. Only Liverpool next...

If we disregard the first half, we won 3-2.

25 minutes!. We won the last 65 3-2

[PhillippaT]

We really should just forget the defence and go for all out attack, from now on, right?  

[BigGibbo]

If we had any defensive coaching whatsoever we'd be a really good team.

I know. 🤔😉
