LFC Forever 2016/17

Man City 1-1 Liverpool

MotM- James Milner

(Had a lot of pressure put on him with all the players who could bother him in an attack as well as being booed and had to be a penalty taker. Plus he's captain.)

Dirk Kuyt's team were playing earlier and it was on Sky Sports' free channel so I watched it. They won 2-1 after giving away a stupid penalty, he didn't score though unfortunately. I thought that was gonna be the worst out of the two games I'd see today because Feyenoord seemed pretty committed to trying to lose as seen as they equalised plus I was also watching Sky Sports for updates on the Middlesborough game and they lost and United finally climbed their way out of 6th so that ruined it quite a bit.

You'd think teams in a city like Manchester would invest in a roof. The wet grass just turned it into who can loose your footing most? It was ridiculous. If it wasn't for the rain they probably would've bossed us instead they missed so many chances and started messing up all over the place.

I don't really know what to say about this one, it was a pretty rubbish match that could've been decided by a string of penalties because everyone was sliding all over the place.

I don't blame the rain though (I'm not AFTV), I blame my dad. Yesterday we watched WBA 3-1 Arsenal, well the 1st half, the 2nd half we were in Doncaster and came across a stand trying to get to you get Sky, they've got Sky Sports on their telly and we're stood waiting for the score to come up, it was 1-1, Cech was injured, when we left. I poked him kinda hard when the score came up but then he goes "that's alright, we can draw tomorrow now" as I say, his fault!

I don't really know how to feel because it's obviously very good to draw against City but with our recent with them and with the quality of the match, it feels a bit of a let down after waiting a full week for it. I'm very happy for the point, we've won the top six league by far so we've got that to be proud of. Unfortunately that means we've not got a top six match left to play but the "big games" to prove ourselves are coming.  

We basically missed most of the first 15 minutes trying to find a link that worked so I can't say anything about that. Apparently there was some penalty shouts but I've not seen them, don't even know to which side.

Gary Nevile and Martin Tyler didn't really annoy me today, I could hardly hear them over all my dad's complaining over everything to the point where he was going that HAS to be a yellow card and I go yeah, well he doesn't wanna get his cards wet. I went to theirs to watch with him, I quickly wished I could go watch it on my own!

Since when do City boo Milner? We've played them 5 times now with him and this is the first time I've heard them boo him. I really didn't get that but whatever he's a bit too mature to be bothered by a bit of booing. I was like is it because he lassoed last time he scored against them?

Who would've guessed neither of us would've scored by half time, not me.

Firmino gets fouled in the box and finally a penalty is awarded and luckily it's for us. Once again I'm moaning about Klopp turning around. I. Just. Don't. Get. It! If I'm honest though, I didn't think Milner was gonna put it in today and then when he kicked it, it looked like it was going wide. It did go in though. Mr Reliable.

This is the 47th match Milner has scored and not lost in.

Agüero finally ruined our fun/ reign against his team and equalised. It came literally just as I finished saying we've decided to defend like last time after my dad was complaining about us not going forward.

Lallana missed the perfect chance to put us back to winning but at least it wasn't as bad as the many attempts City missed. Like that one where it went past 3 City players including Sterling and the best they can do is put it into the side netting. It would appear Sterling couldn't tap it in because Milner had slid in and moved his leg away but I'd rather think he couldn't do it because he's just crap without us. I don't believe in basically anything religious but I said someone must be looking out for us there.

City got tired and got really bad at passing to each other, we weren't ruthless enough to capitalise on all their mistakes, instead we just sort of relaxed with it too.

We're still in 4th, safe by 4 points.

Ooh Liverpool ladies 2-1 Everton, we're in the quarter final of the FA cup - I wish Liverpool Ladies were more on it with advertising these things and I might manage to keep up but go on girls!

Next up Everton away, Saturday 1st April 12:30 Hopefully it's not us who're the April fools at the end of that!
