The technical level always suffers in big PL games, because the intensity goes sky high and players have to rush everything and get caught up in the moment. This was a really high stakes game for the time in the season, but I don't think either coach truly believe in planning over periods of games or the season, they have a style and it's more a case of taking each game as it comes and trying to attack and win every game.

A lot of people actually like watching this kind of football, it's one reason why the league sold itself well. Give casual fans slow and tactical and they won't understand or appreciate it, but it's an easy watch as a casual to see two teams running all over each other.

Nah. It wasn't. I watched it too. Filled with poor touches, inaccurate passing, bad decision-making, desperate defending of situations that shouldn't have been dangerous in the first place.

Liverpool often plays entertaining football (i rarely watch City so I have no idea with them), but this was not decent in the slightest. It was as bad as the worst of our matches.
You're right, but it's it's usually like this when two top sides meet

My barometer for a total shit game is if I'm bored out of my mind, but I was able to follow the match although it wasn't a noteworthy one

Just saw your other post as well, I'm not a EPL fanboy l hate City and most teams in the PL

I know you aren't. I was only teasing there.

Like always, entertainment value of a match is subjective. I hate watching this sort of football, I find it amusing and laughable at first, and then tedious and boring as the match goes one. But that's just my personal opinion.

I find it funny that some think Juventus under Allegri "objectively" plays bad football, and this EPL style that we saw today is "objectively" far more entertaining. If it suits your taste, so be it, that's fine. But the same can be said for our style when Allegri gets us clicking. It suits my taste, I enjoy it immensely.

Serie A football is way better on the eye.

By not pulling for any of the two teams if you watch PL teams, you don't experience the frustration that comes with it, because you don't have expectations that comes with supporting a team. If Juve played this way people wouldn't appreciate that, that's because we also would be able to put in a better shift.

I wanna see more of the high technical level we see when Juve plays Roma or Napoli.

Funny, you seem to know an awful lot about quality Italian teams these days.

Our football has actually been heading more towards theirs as the seasons progress. To it's detriment.

February/March to May in 3 of the 4 seasons he has been here. Like the way we crushed Dortmund and knocked out Madrid in CL and our domestic double in his first season here. Our 26 match (25 wins) unbeaten run to take the league and another domestic double in his second season here. Our smashing through the CL knockouts outscoring our opponents 10-1 in his third season with another domestic double.

Only in his fourth season did we struggle to find form down the stretch, and that was in part due to an out-of-shape Higuain, and an inconsistent midfield bogging us down. And he still managed a domestic double, and smashed Madrid at the Bernabeu without Dybala, even if we were knocked out by a last min penalty.

Keep up the bitching though. It's what you do best. :baus:

That game was nearly as bad as Inter V Napoli from a couple of weeks ago.

All that money spent on players and those two media-darling managers who fanboys fap over...and that’s the sort of game we get? Lmao pathetic.

Klopp took 2 months to even start playing Fabinho. He played 15 minutes total in Liverpool's first 10 matches in all comps. He started 1 match of 6 in the entire CL group stage (and played less than 15 minutes in his 3 sub appearances).

Imagine Allegri did this with Fabinho if we had signed him for 45mil. The meltdown on the forum calling for Allegri's head would have been amazing.
