Man city vs Liverpool Live Premier League | Man city Liverpool

you know doesn't really happen for City so I think it'll be a I think it'll be a different type of game I think they will try and go for more control listen do I want to I was working for City last week uh the Chelsea game and I was like this is the best game I've seen in such a long period of time and I'm thinking can I even say that on the chall at the end of world it doesn't matter if they didn't win it was just the best game and would I see that again against Liverpool and take a 4-4 I'd love to see it because I still feel over that course City will go on and and win the league but don't we like those sort of games feel that pep wouldn't like it would you can imagine him traveling home you know when he's on the plane home or whatever he's doing com think scratching his head thinking we've conceded four yes we've played played well we've scored four away from home but that's kind of what he expects from his team yeah there two or three days after that and then with a whole International break it'll have been driving him completely mad for the last two weeks that how his team have conceded four away from home so I like you I think he'll put a Bernardo Silva sat next to rodri simply because Jon Stones he's not there is he because he he might played him as a right back and the inverted fullback if you like and had that little bit more Security in Midfield it depends how he gets that in that's the point whether the center back can go and step in he will do that talk about coverage whether he's fit you know it's what he does in those situations whether he changes it do you think Glen there is an argument that in terms of whatever the sort of title race ends up looking like and I say that because I kind of hate the idea of using the phrase title race after 12 games of any season but might it be that when we look back on that Chelsea 40 draw with Manchester City the very fact that somebody showed if you go for it against Manchester City as great as they are they can be got at and maybe that's a message to teams like Liverpool that your best way to attack city is to attack city yeah but Steve that only works for for certain amount of teams you know what I'm saying if if everyone opened up and went for them it's only the the higher echelons of the league with with the attack and talent like like Chelsea have got I'm not suggesting Bournemouth do it Glenn I'm I'm Wonder Liverpool might do it no I think they will 100% we've seen them get we've seen them get success from from adopting that approach in the past against Manchester City especially when it was the the famous three of firmino man and Salah and where for me know droping and leave that space in behind but for me it like brownie says that is what the Premier League is all about it was fantastic football I think everyone in the country thoroughly enjoyed sitting down on their Sunday afternoon taking that in but I also agree with Paul that I bet on the playing home pep was like the one person that was like I'm not happy that we need to close shop a little bit we we need we we don't want that every week because it's just he likes to control games doesn't he with possession and manipulate teams and he didn't get to do that at Chelsea no he didn't but you know you look as well when Cole Palmer scored I still thought you know a minute later City going to come back and score another I it's like please referee carry this on a little bit longer because there's another goal in something I wanted to ask you to um we'll see what you thought Paul is um did you think City maybe underestimated Chelsea slightly to play in that style to open it up because Chelsea haven't been firing yet so they've got quality for sure but you know would they have treated that in the same way if it was Arsenal Liverpool away potentially not um like you say team selection would have probably played a part and he wouldn't have been that open maybe did he disrespect Chelsea I don't know coming off the back of a 4-1 at at Tottenham that they had I say disrespect underestimat do you know of what they could deliver at home I don't think I don't think Pep's like that though is he I mean you look at the the the way that he is the way that he approaches games the way that he sets his team out I don't think he underestimates anybody in that Premier League regardless of who he's playing no disrespect to any of the teams you look at the bottom three you look at the bottom five I think he sets his team up and he prepares in exactly the same way regardless of personnel listen if they're playing Lon at home if they're playing Burnley at home the Personnel may be slightly different but I think the way he sets them up in his preparation watching him and having seen what he's achieved and getting to kind of know him through the media you you can't imagine he would approach any game lightly can you let's let's move the focus back on to the game on Saturday then because there's a really interesting piece Jamie carer's piece that he writes his column for the telegraph was was basically talking about the subject that we've got onto it as in should Liverpool even think about changing the way they do things because it's Manchester City and Jamie was asking the question can Trent Alexander Arnold Glenn still play this kind of more attacking hybrid role that he plays when the opponent is Manchester City judging by what you guys have been saying he's almost got no choice but to do it because it's become their identity well I I think that obviously you need to read the game and there's going to be moments where Trent can really step in and play that hybrid role but there's going to be moments where he need to take his medicine and try and get back into that right back slot and protect um for me he's got to play for them um 100% but I don't I don't think there's I don't think you can as as a Liverpool fan when I when I look at them as a unit I don't think Liverpool can sit in and contain Manchester City I just don't think they can do it their best and their most effective form of of of defense is attack as far as I'm concerned and and I'm sure the Liverpool fans will think exactly the same that that they've seen it before that they'll want to do it again it's a case it's it's pretty similar without flipping it to the England side do we protect our weaknesses or play to our strengths I think as an international side we we quite often defend our weaknesses rather than playing to our strengths and the strengths are in the final two-thirds of the field and I feel that's where Liverpool are the attacking players that they've got and I think Trent deployed further down the field is much more effective than he is in a right back role I get that but when you're going to come up against City you're not going to have anywhere near the possession that you would have in the other games that we've seen Liverpool dominate where he can have buildup where he can go and step in they have control of the game City are going to control more most of those areas if he goes and empties that and goes into those areas dku foran he'll be sat ready for that play duu because of that they will be either or Phil foran has often played against Trent if you watch the history of the game because he's got that pace he can go down the outside the feel like Trent's still going backwards he got a slight flaw and we're talking slight and the defensive angles because he's amazing going forward for Chelsea to draw with Manchester City and that was Sterling against Walker literally every time Sterling picked the ball up he just went at Walker and I've not seen Kyle Walker have such an uncomfortable afternoon for a long long time and I think doku could do that to Trent Alexander Arnolds there's a look on Michael Brown's face that says he's seen Kyle Walker have plenty of comfortable afternoons but I'm not sure we want to know about any no not that's not that's not on the pitch I I did actually I did actually I did actually say to you know Sterling tested you comes at you he said yeah because they're not always used to as you say somebody running so direct I thought Raheem Sterling on the day by the way and I've been critical at times I thought he was really really positive he really good point to prove and and and you know I was really really impressed with him he did test City out and and You' seen what he can deliver and and again yeah that that's the point isn't it Liverpool have got a really strong front three that they can do that in the areas but it's whether City open up and let that control go and there's a a nice piece in the guardian today actually with a a headline which actually tells you everything you need to know pep has sacrificed control and let Jeremy dku bring the chaos which I like Glenn it in dku in that sort of old school out andout Winger is that just yet another way for Manchester City to win they play amazing football and they can beat you and will beat most teams doing that they can go more direct they've learned to do that with Harland is this just another way a third way a different way to play which could be just as effective yes this is somebody very different from I would say most people that have played under pppa Manchester City Sterling to a certain extent but he changed his ways he would he'd be more possession based I think we've seen greish coming and he doesn't really go at people too much he's always cutting back and looking for that pass or that cross I feel as though he changed his ways last year with Highland and he he had something somebody could go more direct and when teams were sting he could put a ball in and could cause chaos whereas doku I just think I for me players like Jeremy dku are the reason why I watch football that's pure entertainment when he gets the ball when he picks the ball up and he's got no other thought in his mind but to go at his mind and create something I that that is for me get you on the edge of he do cross until he doesn't cross it to Glen Murray on the back stick then he's going to come over say hang on a minute I'm talking as a fan you know what I mean that that is what you want to see though isn't it you like last weekend Sterling I thought it was brilliant every time I was like on the edge of my seat on the S like go on go on and and Jeremy D he does that and he has added a different string another ball to that to that Manchester City Utah before we move on from this Glen just listening to you guys talk there if we're saying Manchester City have effectively three different ways to beat you plan a is not quite going for whatever reason one in every 10 games it's not happening we'll go direct to Highland if that doesn't work well we we'll give it to doku and we'll just play with a an out andout Winger how many ways did Liverpool have to beat you and might that end up being the difference between them come the end of the season a tough question Steve I don't they have they definitely haven't tell him that Glenn don't tell him that he loves that smiling away now that you actually just give you a that one he's just sat on that little white fence of he's loving it and he just just sat there perched on it no I I think that is all ultimately what sets pep and City apart is is what we're talking about there that Evolution and the different ways to beat you I feel as though at one stage City only had one way to beat you and that was through possession and manipulating you and waiting for one of you to knock off whereas now you you mention those different ways that it can beat whether it's Docker whether it's highand whether it is passing to submission Liverpool I don't feel as though they've got as many ways to hurt you but the main one is Salah isn't it and it always has been I mean I feel as though he's numbers uh outstanding let alone the one thing that strikes me more than anything about moala is his robustness he's always fit always plays 90 minutes he's constant and he has been for what six years [Music] now my name's Joe Wilkinson and I'm doing a podcast cuz I love football what I love more is the idea of being friends with a professional footballer the footballer I'd like to be friends with is Patrick bford hello Patrick will you be my friend um that's yet to be decided okay not what I was hoping my mates of footballer is the new BBC sounds podcast with me Patrick Bamford and Joe Wilkinson some days he'll hate it other days he won't and eventually he will fall in love with me search for my mates football on BBC sounds this is the football daily with Steve Crossman right we're going from the top of the Premier League down to the bottom Everton play Manchester United on Sunday and their first game uh since they were docked 10 points it's a 430 kickoff full commentary from goodison with John Murray and Leon Osman so we're gonna hear from Shawn D in a moment but Michael before we do that I just want to get some insight from you because you were you were captain at Portsmouth when they had nine points deducted in 2010 after they went into Administration so obviously totally different circumstances went on to be relegated and obviously the club from then went on a big slide and they're only really starting to fully recover Now take us into a dressing room when you're dealing with that I think it's an extremely difficult situation that that's a given I think the difference for me when we were at Portsmouth it was towards the end of the season as you said in March we were already to know at the bottom seeing is it a possibility to try and get those results you know you're struggling players are not really I think there's a lot of players who you knew weren't going to be at the football club and then when that come in there've been financial difficulty for such a long period of time um it almost was stting to become inevitable because the stuffing was knocked out yet because there was such uncertainty off the pitch what's going to happen payments um is the club even secure we went right to to one game in particular was over you know it was a a a pretty much meal on the Friday night and you find out that the club is liquidated it's finished now you talk about situations of not getting paid not being where they're going to be a football club for it to be finished now that was shock around that table like you've never seen no security for nobody the fans you've got the Kitman you got people who've been there forever who obviously love Portsmouth and it was a real real family club and that's the difficulty from there on I think the difficulty um which is different to Everton because I look now and say Well they're on a good run good group of players who are ready for the fight they will still believe yes it's a big kick for them they'll be looking and thinking you know his relegation round the corner but you feel like they can go and get out of it you feel like they've got enough in that dress room to compete against Luton shefford United Burnley Bournemouth obviously just just around the situation so it is a very very difficult situation because it's your livelihoods and that's what relegation brings into play and and
