Might not have been the greatest match, but that win is a ****ing statement.

Turtyturd

Get in!!

Great way to kick off Doughboy day eve.

NukaCola

Huge win....

Agent Coulson

Jaysus Klopp's tools did well.

Fowler87

Job done Next game please

Bandana boy

Don't know how we got out without conceding today ! Big 3 points

Harry Palmr

That was in some ways exemplary football and game management - Klopp clearly decided he was not going to go 100% toe to toe with City so he worked to control the space, not the ball. Obviously we're not used to a game plan that is much more like Rafa in Europe but it yielded exactly what he wanted and it'll serve everyone well for future reference.

I love this woman..... Fortress of Anfield

Quite a battle today, but an important win at the Fortress of Anfield after a short rest. And a clean sheet! #LIVMCI #LFC

Damien360

Delighted to see that we can park when we want to and hold out any attacks. Klopp played a brilliant tactical game. Good win. We are learning from mistakes early in the season. Clean sheet again.

ShamoBuc

Huge 3 points, daylight to 3rd, still in touch with 1st

Clean sheet

Thought Lovren and Klavan did well, particularly Klavan considering his early yellow.

24 unbeaten at home.

2016 has been a very good year.

See ye all in 2017 !!

Liverpool can't win to nil
Liverpool can't close out a game 🤔🤔🤔

Klopp borrowed Jose's bus for the game. Well appreciated.

Osmosis Jones

Incredibly professional performance, get the goal and shut City out. Mignolet barely had a thing to do, bar making a fool of Aguero with those flicks. Never thought I'd see us put in that sort of performance.

We will take that... we will take that.

Nobody played amazing and they looked tired but hopefully they all get rested for the FA Cup and we can come back from that fresh after giving everything against Sunderland.

Sooner or Later

Difficult to watch in the second half but it is the result that counts.
Hugely important three points

Dick phelan

Big win today, looked defensively a lot more solid then usual, while it wasn't vintage it's the kind of performance that goes a long way to winning the title.

kfallon

When do Chelsea play somebody decent? Seem to have had a nice run of games!

Nervy stuff tonight but great result, some shíte game tho

martyos121

Not only did we manage to park the bus in the last 30, but we did it really effectively. With a bit more practice, the outlet passing would tidy up and we'd create a lot more quality counter-attacks. What we need to do is use that strategy against weaker teams as well when we're a goal up. There's no need to batter every team when you can defend as well as that.

theoneeyedman

Good show from 'Pool, took the lead and played on the counter, only poor execution prevented a comprehensive win.

Parked the bus well, klavan in particular was the boss.

Not being down on Karius, but it looks to me that the defence is more comfortable, more assured in front of Mig.

Get in, happy new year lads!

Not giving City a shot on goal is never a bad performance, it wasn't pretty but it was practical.

Spurs away next up for them.

Never thought City were going to win. And they won't be winning the league anytime soon either. Too busy cashing their huge paychecks.

they're no more mercenaries than our lads are. They're still a good side but they're really hurting from a lack of quality out wide. Outside of Sterling there's nothing there. I expect when Sane settles in properly they'll be a lot better. They do need something better at fullback tho.

Ragnar has been boss the last 3 games he will be unlucky if he gets dropped when Matip is fit again.

He is a cool head
I knew early yellow was not an issue for him
He saw it out and made sure he didn't get another

Ah Matip has been one of the best cbs in the league. He has to start when fit.

Aguero didn't have a single touch in our box today. Job well done.

It's a great problem to have.

Matip - Free.

Klavan - the few coins I keep in the glove compartment for the toll on the M7.

Stones - eleventy bazillion bucks.

For me that was probaly the most impressive performance this season. The way we did not over commit and look for the 2nd goal and the way we contained city was magnificant. A well disciplined performance and one a few weeks ago i thought this team could not be able to do

MD1990

I would drop Lovren & start Matip & Klavan.

Wijnaldum was superb today. We were off in the final third but defended very well & grinded out the win.

martyos121

Hendo's long-standing heel injury acting up according to Jurgen, that's why he came off. Hope it's not a major flare-up.

Alonso77

I think that's 6 clean sheets in last 10 games across all comps.

Getting there.

Turtyturd

Knowing Liverpool after that impressive performance we'll drop points to a sh!te team like Sunderland or United.

Henderson had a problem with his heel. Worrying that it is probably the same injury as last season.

SlickRic

You know you're a threat when every rival fan is trying to denounce a performance that saw us beat Pep's Manchester City simply because we defended a lot.

Fúck me.

IamtheWalrus

Hardly entertainment was it.

BorneTobyWilde

Would like to see gap to Chelsea at less that 6pts when we face them.

If you're a Liverpool fan and you don't find Liverpool winning entertaining then I don't know what's wrong with you.

If you're not a Liverpool fan then it matters even less.

BorneTobyWilde

Was built as ##game of the season##
It was the worst game of the season
But 3pts is sweet reward

IT was far from worst game of the season.

We've had more than enough of that this season already. I'll take wins like that from now til the end of the season.

Osmosis Jones

I'd also like to mention Milner's absolute domination over Sterling.

Iused2likebusts

Didn't play particularly well so great to get the win. I'd be a bit worried about Sunderland on Monday I'd imagine tonight took a lot out of the players. Hopefully Henderson's injury is only short term.

He is a class act. Getting him in on a free and getting 50 million for sterling was a great bit of business.

Osmosis Jones

I'm sure we can rest a few attackers for Sunderland, start Origi and Sturridge probably. Maybe bring Lucas in too.

NukaCola

Thought we played quite well........a few bad passes but fairly good from back to front. Hardworking and generally calm. Nice 3 points.

Some people were complaining that we dont look like a team capable of taking a lead and holding it, we do it and we were poor apparently. That is what grinding out a close game looks like. We cant blast through everyone.
