The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

Lescott for England!

[Matt]

Ouch, Lescott turns a Charlie Adam shot into his own goal moments after Kompany headed City in front.

[brenchill]

What a let off for Liverpool.

[Summers]

Tension seems high between these two teams out there today.

[Hobo]

Komapany's goal was against the run of play, it was nice of Lescott to even things up.

I do wonder why we keep giving Suarez the ball so far out. He can probably beat all the defenders the way he is, but he can't do much more 30 yards out and he's not exactly pacy.

[Clawson]

Because somebody will look at him and he'll fall over giving you a free kick in a decent crossing area.

[Jimmy]

Liverpool really need an outlet, I'd definitely take a punt and put Carroll on for Kuyt in the second half.

[therockbox]

Can we get Downing off, please? Absolutely useless.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Barry off, please. We should either bring on De Jong to really show Suarez what it means to be tackled, or throw on Mario and go 4-4-2. Also, I think that should go down as the best own goal so far this year. What an absolute let off.

[Lineker]

Second yellow for Balotelli, which he finds hilarious.

Until Mancini points at the dressing room and a copper has to escort Mario off.

[Dan]

Awful decision.

[Matt]

Oh Mario.

I think that was a little harsh, it wasn't intentional, just clumsy. But I suppose if I was a scouse fan I'd be annoyed had he not got a second booking.

[Hobo]

Mario is gone and Carroll is on!

[Matt]

Silva should've hit that first time.

[Jimmy]

The three midfielders on the line was a pretty funny sight. Thought Silva was going to put that one away, though.

[Jimmy]

Fantastic save. Should've brought Carroll on earlier.

[Dan]

Joe Hart is fucking brilliant.

Best English goalkeeper in my lifetime.

[Cheeky Hughes]

I'm proud of City today, following that. All the luck was on Liverpool's side, and the referee knew who he wanted to win- it took a vicious tackle from behind to finally get a Liverpool player booked, for God sake!

Even after all of this bullshit, we're still unbeaten.

[Matt]

Joe Hart is fucking brilliant.

Best English goalkeeper in my lifetime.

He still gets beat at his near post way too often. That's the one criticism I have of him.

[Matt]

And apparently Mario's kicked the dressing room door in.
