Hi guys, welcome to the Matchday vlog for Liverpool Western Manchester City. It is the biggest game of the season so far. No doubt about it. It's currently Sunday morning, 9.50pm. That's got the trade-up to Liverpool. It's a lay-out for them, they've got obviously. So a bit of time to kill beforehand. But these training, it's a long, long time ago, they're quite cheap. So please look at these cookies on there, just to get everything on the way up there. I mean, call me much like a cooking channel. Beautiful. Anyway, yeah, meet on the bond. Going down. I've got some lunch in town. If you see my preview, I'm pretty nervous about this one. I'm going for a two-two draw and I would set off for a draw to win us with you. But yeah, great day ahead. Can't wait. And in general, I'm actually quite excited for the two-week break after this, because I've been quite exhausted, sort of, if we gave it three days. But anyway, let's get this one out of the way. Let's hopefully get a result. And, you know, top target race is certainly going to be effective today. So yeah, just enjoying a bit of lunch here in Lassi, Guana. Liverpool was really, really busy today. The Giants thing, obviously, the fact that they've been off. I've never seen it so busy on Sunday afternoon. But yeah, enjoying a nice chilly. It's currently about half-two, I think. So you're two hours so I'll kick off. And yeah, the rumour is that Lovran starts and Gomez plays right back. Which is a bit true. I'm a bit uneasy with it, but I'm not going to start complaining about team selections, because the manager knows more than me. But yeah, because I want it true. I don't think, you know, trend didn't play too well in Naples, but yeah, they're strange affairs that go. So there we have it. The team that was rumored is, in fact, the team. Gomez is at right back, Lovran at centre-back. The rest of it is pretty much as expected. Man City team is actually quite surprising. Mendee is in a left-back, no San E. Mare starts for them. So I think it's going to be 4-3 against 4-3, but we'll see about that. It's quite surprising, you know. I know Napoli target trend that he was pulled over night. But, you know, giving out World Champion, he gets Man City lands, Lassies and Anfield, it's quite surprising. Yeah, it's gone trust the manager. Both, you know, won't have to surprise him in both lineups. Then it could necessarily expect to be Mendee's start today. And no Vinton Company either from Man City. So, I mean, it's fascinating. It's also very fascinating, obviously, fingers crossed. So I'm just outside the Lime Street station there. I've just obviously come out of Anfield, Liverpool, Neil, Man City, Neil. Not a thriller, of course. I've just done it in Scrambleide, by the way, with my initial feedback on the game. So, if not for the long-winded Instagram, do so, Ben might say. Yeah, I think mixed opinions really. The narrative is always difficult to set when there's a deal, when there's a deal, and there's a deal, and you don't know whether to be happy or sad, when there's a draw, when there's a deal, and there's a draw, and you don't know whether to be happy or sad about the result. You know, most times, the draw at Anfield, you're annoyed about it, but here, Man City, the Champions, not a disgraceful result. You know, we got lucky that they missed the penalty. We didn't create any chances. It was a pretty flat, drab game, not what we were expecting. But a good tactical battle, an intriguing game, if not exciting. And we didn't, you know, front three still not firing. The midfield, from the biggest concern, today, I thought Henderson was OK. I just got a bit frustrated with his off-the-ball movement. I thought that the space that he was getting into and how he was showing for it wasn't in the areas that would have been able to move us forward. Maybe that's just me being a bit critical of him. Because I like you on Henderson, I'm definitely not one of these guys that's slagging them off from social media all the time. I thought he played OK, today his passing was good. But got a bit frustrated with his off-the-ball stuff at times. But now Adam was great. I thought it was our best player. Milner struggled. Kater struggled when he came on defensively. I thought the fullbacks, Gomez, good second half, not so much in the first half. But I thought even going forward, he was OK second half. Robertson isn't in the best form, you know, six out of 10 from him. Van Dyke was OK, but makes a stupid mistake to give the penalty away. Loverham was good second half in particular. You know, never can tend off man on the match. At the front three, from, you know, couldn't get into it. The other good storage when he came on. Manay was quite quiet. Salah tried and tried, but they just shut that down. I thought Manseid shut us down really well. Defended nicely. And it's a point, you know, a point in the both sides, probably be happy with. Both sides were taken for the game. We're still in touch with the leaders, you know, 20 points to make games. Three goals considered. I'm happy with that. We need the international break now. We need to kind of regroup. We'll be loads of cliches out about that. And that's fair. We do need this break. We will regroup. And we will get better. You know, the front three are a concern. But I think it's still enough to start saying drop Salah. Drop whoever, drop Manay, start playing whoever. I just feel next, then Cardiff, opportunity to really play ourselves in the form. I know I keep saying that, but this runs out the way. I was saying we'll play ourselves in the form eventually. But now that this runs out the way, we've got some, you know, tasty looking fixtures coming up. In terms of the other two rack up points. Hopefully Salah can show that he's not just the one season one. But hopefully Manay and Manay can show over there still there, they're about and hopefully the Reds can show that they can actually start scoring goals. Because he's not scored many of all this season, but we've only considered three. So it's a decent base to build upon us sitting in Chelsea, we're all on 20 points. And we're the ones that have had to go to Spurs and away at Chelsea and play Manay where as they've dropped points against likes of wolves and West Hamers, but obviously we're the ones that aren't losing or dropping any points against the lesser side. So I think we're still in a good position and I'm feeling positive. It's midnight. I've just got back to London, Houston Station. I'm going to get a cab home to Stratford because can't be dealing with the cheer at this time of night. So yeah, that's the second phase of fixtures for the next international break. A break an hour for Liverpool, two weeks off. And the break for me, which you know what, I'm really grateful for what I'm being honest with you. I don't know what's kind of the other side of the international break in terms of my videos. Just been thinking about it on the train. And yeah, just me being real, just me being honest. I don't know what's to come. It's becoming a bit of a ballake, making videos. So yeah, I don't know. We'll see what happens. We'll see how maybe I just need a break from it. Obviously two weeks off now will be useful. Still, everything's great, but just feel like, you know, as I said, when I was recording too much during the games, it was taking away from my enjoyment a bit. And now it's kind of having to go back to the hotel room and do your video and travel around and make sure you're vlogging as you're doing it. I don't know, it gets in the way of your day a bit. So, and you know that the previews have been in the same old formula for so long. It's becoming a bit tired. I'm sure you guys would agree. Yeah, it's not been inspiring as I've laid out of me sitting in front of my desk and talking. There's only so much of that that you can do before we get a bit boring, you know. So I don't have the edit in schools or the other design, really, to do anything else. So we'll see is all I'll say. If you want to follow me in the meantime, I'm on Twitter, I want Instagram, I'm on Snapchat. Well, I'm not on Snapchat. I'm on Instagram, really. If you want to see what I'm doing, follow me on Instagram, it's, then, might say. But yeah, otherwise, today's been today. Yeah, good point. And yeah, really exciting for this international break, to be honest. Let's see what happens, shall we? Yeah. Bye-bye.
