BPL: Man City 0-0 Liverpool
Wright-Phillips and Mascherano
Liverpool played a very uninspiring game today at Eastlands. Six yellow cards were given to Liverpool and was lucky to get away with a point, as Man City played an attacking game. If not for Liverpool’s defenders, the score would be different now.
Liverpool players are at fault today. They are slow in chasing loose balls (passing is almost a lost art) and quite a high number of lost possessions.
- Torres is fielded in the 75th minutes, but can barely make any difference. He looks slow and probably only 80% fit;
- Lucas is not himself today;
- Gerrard is slow;
- Babel is Babel (time to sell him);
- Skrtel is at his best;
- Benayoun is not fully fit yet.
It looks difficult to get to the 4th spot, let alone maintaining it.
