Ah, the delicious irony of a team who continually throw themselves to the floor (it would have been a lot worse if Guimeres was playing) being undone by a penalty given for exactly that π
Only player to try and break the lines with the ball today was Jaydee. It doesnβt always come off, but Iβd rather we try and fail than never try and continually lay it off sideways & not in front of the receiver π€¬
No surprise that he effectively made the 1st & turned the game!
π¨π£οΈ Thierry Henry on Virgil van Dijkβs display in the clash between Liverpool and Manchester City.
βPeople are going to get emotional about this, but I donβt care, Virgil van Dijk is living off a reputation he built years ago. Tonight exposed it. When Manchester City turned up the intensity, he didnβt look like a leaderβ¦ he looked like a liability.
We keep hearing βworld-class, world-classβ based on what? Aura? Because I didnβt see dominance, I saw hesitation. I saw a defender who doesnβt want to get exposed 1v1 anymore. The real top defenders embrace those moments, they donβt hide behind the system.
And letβs be honest, if his name wasnβt Van Dijk, weβd be having a very different conversation right now. At Liverpool FC, that standard should be ruthless. But somehow, he keeps getting protected while others get blamed.
For me? That performance wasnβt elite. It wasnβt even good. It was averageβ¦ and average doesnβt win you big games.β
Ah, the day 16 year old me was in the home end (trade off with a Millwall supporting mate), drank too much and puked on 4 fans in front of me.
Spent first half in the medics room, came back just in time for the 2nd half fun π

π΄ BRING YOUR SCARF TO SELHURST π΅
π - Larnaca at Home
π - Thursday 12th March
Raise the roof by raising your scarves above our heads as the teamβs enter the pitch.
Keep scarves aloft during Glad All Over
A massive opportunity to add colour & atmosphere before and during the match. Weβve all seen how good it looks when other teams have visited Selhurst on these European nights.
The Idea is for all 4 sides of the ground to bring your #cpfc scarves old and new and help create a memorable atmosphere.
Please share this post as much possible across all social media outlets and on your podcasts as well.
Donβt think βitβs alright, plenty of others will do it, so I neednβt botherβ
Donβt underestimate the effect of a small act conducted by the many.
For the colours & the badge

Am I on my own with being annoyed every time someone says βfootball clubβ when talking about their club?
The discussion is never varied enough that we might get confused mid-flow with the associated badminton club down the road!!
βClubβ is all thatβs needed.
@mpatrick_uk@CPFCHQ This is nothing new there. I was in home end for FA Cup game in 2004 when we lost to a Kanoute hat trick.
They were at Gary Doherty literally from the first minute before heβd done anything. Was quite something to witness.
