People getting on hodgsons back already is disgraceful. Mascherano let us down big time.

Should loan him to a team in Azerbaijan...Prick.

It's frightening to think that City have the likes of Adebayor and David Silva on the bench.

Best of luck to them though, any club would love to be in the same position.

eh Mascherano isn't playing? how is he responsible for this shambolic performance? players and manager have to accept the blame for this embarrasment.

Alan city are a far superior team than us we would be lucky to get two of our players in that side

Camera cut away but it didn't look like Sammy lee or Hodgson jumped to shake Jovanic's (sp?) hand like they did with Torres wonder if they are worried he might reconsider his options?

spockety

I wonder if this match may serve as an early wake up call for some sections of the Liverpool support as to how potentially f*cked the club may be this season?

There were a decent number of people of the opinion that Rafa Benitez was the one person in the club's upper echelons who was preventing a car crash rather than causing one.

Before the season started I figured on 3 points from the first five or six matches. I still cling to the hope I was wrong.

The rot caused by unsuitable and dangerous owners may take a long time to fix. I suspect we may need to steel ourselves for more of this this season. For some reason I fear we may not travel well.

Carrara the pick of our players tonight

Are you for real? One of our top players won't play when he's still contracted to the club? Of course team and manager have to shoulder the blame but to just exempt mascherano like that is truly baffling.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Dunno about that, he was nowhere near Barry for the first. Somebody shoudl have been on him and he looked to be the closest man.

I wonder will we get taken a little more seriously after this.

Doubtful.

therokerroar

The Sheikh will have enjoyed that performance.

lost 3-0 and deserved it

Well done City.

Superior in every department.

Am gutted with the result, but cannot deny that it was a well deserved scoreline that could have been worse for my team.

We sacked Rafa for this? Brilliant.

But now we got a good old British manager, and can go back to a "proper" 4 - 4 - 2, and can play Gerrard in his "best" position. Isn't it great! :rolleyes:

Rubbish tonight. We set ourselves out far too open. Poor tactics, no real fluency, didn't keep the ball properly or build spells of dominance when it mattered. Beat all ends up. Disheartening.

Well done Man City. Well deserved win.

Long season in store for Liverpool.....

Dunno, Liverpool were shocking tonight, not to take anything away from City's performance but there was nothing encouraging about Liverpool's display tonight. The 3 goals were as much an indictment of Liverpool's ability as a promotion of City's.

I'd be surprised if Liverpool have a performance like that again this season. It's the second game, and they were never going to be challenging for the title anyway.
I think Liverpool's performance made Citeh look better than the possibly are, but as I said it's early days.

Dissapointing but hey nobodys died, most teams will get turned over there.
Once again full marks to the fans can't think of any set of supporters singing at the end after witnessing that shambles

Gerrard did what he could also, but the formation was all wrong.

x in the city

SAF is a worried man Id say, I have to say City were a riot tonight.

Arsenal, Chelsea and United would all be a bit worried, I dont think spurs have any chance of winning the league. so Arsenal, City and Chelsea/Utd the only team in it id say.

therokerroar

I'm not looking forward to us playing City on Sunday :pac:

Plenty of room when injuries kick in like they already have at the back.

And we still came away from a place where we usually lose (3-0 last season) with a point).

If we grind out results like that we'll have changed.

Pepe LeFrits

Well I reluctantly enjoyed that. 2 goals for my man Tevez (sorry gosplan, but that was an awesome FF comeback ) and a good game to go with me pint. Plenty better than I expected. Very impressive debut from Milner and Barry would be my MOTM.

The result flattered City though I thought, Liverpool really ought to have scored at least one; but it was very clinical all the same.

Would you have been singing the Rafa Benitez song with the travelling fans tonight?

NabyLadistheman

Its frightening the strenght City have. If they get some momentum built who knows what might happen. Milner will prove their best signing, class act.

We're on a different stratosphere to where we should be. If we finished seventh last year it could be worse this term. A club like Liverpool should not be making a profit on transfers. It's an absolute shambolic farce whats happening at our club

Quandary

Match 2 and Roy is already getting a roasting from some pool fans

Mach screwed ye, Joe Cole wasn't available, Im sure Torres isn't really match fit yet...

Ye played against a superior City team tonight, many other decent clubs are gonna find themselves in the same position as ye after playin City. With funds like he has at his disposal it was only a matter of time before Mancini started gettin it right.

Well done City. No complaints with that result. 3-0 was about right.

A serious force to be reckoned with. I'm tipping them for a title challenge, just because of the squad at their disposal. A bit rash after 2 games maybe but money buys the best and it's starting to show.

Liverpool were poor.

Centre midfield was outplayed. It was obvious though after 2 mins it was gonna happen.

3>>>2.

Roy should've changed it imo. A lesson learned tonight I hope.

JohnnyRyan99

Good win tonight... Im delighted...Thought we might struggle... Torres scores and makes it 2-1 could have been a different game.

Still sense we could conceed at any time...

In terms of the season?? Get off it we're two games in!

jaykay74

Whats the deal with Masch ? Was he left out to finalise a transfer or has he refused to play or something else ??

Fully agree with the second part. But can't abide the first bit. Liverpool did not get beat by more than two goals even once last season - despite it being a terrible year all round.

The towel was thrown in tonight. It reminded me of some dark old days under the last couple of British managers we had to be honest.

I know it's been said before but...... Two games in. Loads of assumptions in your post based on one match. City were good tonight but not outstanding. Liverpool were very poor.

Champions league place should be Citys goal this season IMO with anything more being a bonus.

jaykay74

Milner looked good and the swap for Ireland plus some arab dollars looks like a shrewd move given than the money side of it isn't really of any consequence to city.

smoochie06

Liverpool were very poor tonight. Take nothing away from city though. Johnson and Tevez were excellent.

I think it shows how poorly equipped we are at left back though. Agger is not good enough when he has to play against someone like Johnson and Jovanovich gave him no protection.

Xavi6 wrote: »

Doubtful.

well, i was impressed. Particularly with Johnson, as i always am.

But really, against a poor Liverpool side, who looked lost once your second goal went in, how many really good chances did you create? Not many. And actually not that many more than Liverpool, despite completely dominating them

Xavi6

Three shots on target, three goals.

rafa would have been quick to match city in midfield, hodgson never changed it whole 90 mins,
he's laying for the law, this is how we play, get with the program!
but we didnt tonight,

Here we go, bring back Benitez brigade gets cranking. Don't suppose you watched the game against Chelsea last year? We threw in the towel there pretty quickly. Who was in charge then?
