The king is dead (fuck city 115 times in their goatass). 

Long live the king. 

If Salah doesn’t win the Balon d’Or this year then something’s seriously wrong; he’s been otherworldly this season. You guys also will get to fully celebrate this one (without the pandemic lockdowns of 2020).

Thanks. I will read later as my knowledge of tactics is suboptimal. At the half, the two Robbies talked about how Slot must've seen something in the lead up that made him think to leave Jota and Nunez on the bench with Gakpo at less than 100% and commit to stopping the City attack at midfield. I think we forgot just how great this defense could be when dialed in. Granted, a healthy Haaland would've forced some changes but it's nice that City gets to feel the sting of the injury bug for once.

Meh. Fuck em. They still had a $73m forward, $85m midfielder, a $69m forward, plus Savinho and Foden in their front 5 plus Silva, Nunes, and Grealish on the bench. Their forward options were plenty, they just ain’t as good as Virgil and Ibou.

Heard that Jota told Slot he wasn’t feeling well (don’t know if it wasn’t illness or a muscle thing).

Well then it paid off. The midfield box or whatever we are calling that was super effective at pressing specific areas and causing giveaways.

We also got good Andy again which helped with the attack. And for once, City made lots of mistakes.

Since I only look at Facebook for memories on this day type stuff, today was the 7 year anniversary of me and Jive's trip to Anfield. Seriously, my bros, you owe it to yourself to make the trip. I've told my brother that he and I will need to make that trip in a few years since he's a Beatles fan and has never been to England. One of the best trips I've ever taken for myself.

Arne Slot and Sipke Hulshoff were informed of their punishment last night. The ban covers tonight's game and the home clash with Southampton on March 8. Assistant coach John Heitinga at the helm for both matches. #LFC
