Thoroughly deserved goal.

Who was picking up Skrtel? My stream kept freezing!

No idea there seemed to be quite a few players who were completely ignoring him.

Downside - who do we drop to play Sahin??

I would consider that an upside

You'd swear Sterling has been playing in that Liverpool squad for years.

double GG

Balotelli doesn't look like he wants to be out there!

Has to be said, Sterling looks at home out there

Well, it is Anfield...

MyBrokenKnees

Did they show Sahin's reaction to the goal?

jebidiah

Stevie Gerrard looks well up for this. Borini I think should get in the box!

Will I Amnt

Toure is afraid of his life of Sterling

citytillidie

Seems its only city players allowed to barge over players

Should they?

That, in my opinion, is not only down to his talent but also the youth setup we have in place now. He has been playing left wing in a similar system/style since he joined the club and knows it inside out at this stage.

Reminds me of when the likes of Pedro or Busquets played first for Barcelona. Rafa's work, along with Rodolfo and Segura paying off it seems.

Finally a free going our way.

Kolo Toure is shíte. Dunno why Lescott was dropped. Yaya must have had a word.

Francie Barrett

Said at the start of the season that Man City looked vulnerable and think I am being proved right by this display.

Nearly for Suarez.

Nuri Sahin

Allen has been fantastic.

No shít Quinny.

I reckon if they outscore Liverpool for the rest of the match they could get at least a point.

Luckycharms_74

Super pass by Allen there for Suare

barone

could do with a 2nd now please

I expect to see that at half time!

That_Guy

Surely Silva has to come on in the 2nd half.

livinginkorea

Ah Jayus miles off. Drill it in Suarez.

cloptrop

Yep cause hes afraid sahin will take his spot now.

I said at the start of the season that the sky is blue and I'm being proved right. I'll just wait and see if it's still blue by the end though before jumping the gun.

onemorechance

Suarez would be some player if he'd work on his shooting!

Washington Irving

Second goal is gonna be vital, whoever scores it will win the game imo

Who is "hes"?

Heskey left years ago.

If he plays 20 times like that this season then we will benefit greatly.

Borini looks sooooooooooooo far out of his depth!

Impressed with Allen in the middle too so far

Borini needs a good to keep the wolves from the door...

Doesn't need to be one specific player. Nuri Sahin is very versatile, he can play everywhere in midfield.

2:0 for Pool would be nice...or 3:0, just to settle those nerves of mine

Sterling is having a whopper game

Washington Irving

Not much in that

citytillidie

Feck off Mario with your diving

Bad feeling here. Right before half time after dominating them....

Ya Downing can stay on the bench I recon.

You have to be impressed with Sterling, it's like watching Ryan Babel with a brain.

I've seen enough from him in the few games he's had to say that Charlie Adam can go right ahead and fcuk off.

Dickerty

Ref needs to stop blowing up for Balotelli dives! Goes down easier than Drogba...

That_Guy

Sterling certainly earning his... *ahem* .. sterling.

Washington Irving

Great first half barring Lucas injury

In fairness, Mario showing Sterling what experience can do!

Will I Amnt

Well deserved lead,should have been more.
City have been poor,long may it continue.

Francie Barrett

Pathetic diving from Balotelli - as if a big lump like him could be pushed off by a 17 year old kid who is 5ft nothing.

monkey9

Jaysus i enjoyed that half so much. We started off a bit slow but we've come into the match so well and are now just running amok. Allen looks a class act and Sterling doing whatever the hell he wants. Fantastic first half display.

mav79

Allen just looks amazing. Whatever the price was it looks worth it already.

Serious about what?

Watch the incident again and watch Balotelli grab Sterlings shirt and drag him down.
