BT talking like Lucas is out the door in Jan

Osmosis Jones

How's that a City throw when Sterling kicks it out?

RobertKK

Looking like another defeat for Pepball.

Why leave it so late to bring Kel on?

Yeah, ten points behind. Their title challenge is over.

Its does however highlight the weakness of your squad. When origi is what you have to bring on. It's a miracle Klopp has ye in this position with that squad

He's more goals and assists than Rashford who he'd be closest to I suppose (third choice striker). Although Martial has two less goals than him but two more assists with fewer games.

He should have been on at 60 minutes, excellent player.

Osmosis Jones

Fantastic shielding by Wijnaldum

Harry Palmr

Fantastic by Derek, he's a true No 9

livinginkorea

Well done Origi, exactly what you need from a striker at this time.

Osmosis Jones

More so than the ref, the linesmen have been really poor with spotting the ball crossing the line tonight.

Agent Coulson

There has been something missing from the thread today explaining everything about City and why Pep is changing English football.

City have no fight or motivation in them whatsoever. Pep needs to start feeling some heat

Who would have guessed that a bit of quality ends up winning a game of football

daingeanrob

crowd have been fantastic tonight.

Headshot

What an awful awful game.

I was really looking forward to this, expecting great open play.

Such a let down

martyos121

Brilliant game management tonight, lovely to see.

monkey9

Was that Kompany who threw on the flare.

Osmosis Jones

How can the ref tell the Liverpool players to hurry up when City are still not 10 yards out?

Too much at stake and both teams looked tired in the second half.

It was poor fare for neutral fans.

I think Conte is slowly being substituted into this hype bracket now..........

Osmosis Jones

Neutrals wouldn't have enjoyed that one but it was a professional performance from Liverpool. Some very poor passes in the middle of the park, from both sides, but Liverpool limited City to virtually zero chances of quality. We shut them out, which is something I never thought I'd see us do.

niallo27

Park the bus klopp. Play beautiful football klopp. Get the result klopp. The greatest manager in world football. What a beautiful time to be alive and be a liverpool fan.

TitianGerm

Played well below what were capable of and waltz through the game.

Only United and Spurs out of the top 6 have taken points off us so far this season from that group.

kingshankly

Dejan lovern you were solid tonight

MightyMandarin

**** game for neutrals but who gives a **** about them.

Our record against top teams continues to improve. Love not dreading games against them.

Sideshow Mark

Great defending by Liverpool. Been a long time since I seen them close a game out like that. Chelsea are going to be looking over their shoulders at that performance. Very impressive.

Liverpool clearly over achieving this season and their league positions signifies this. I'd expect CITY'S squad to show its depth.

Got what we deserved tonight. Lots of possession, particularly in the second half, but that means sweet FA. I think most Liverpool fans would agree that they weren't brilliant, but they didn't have to be, did they? Which is annoying. When you lose to a team that didn't have to get out of third gear, questions need to be asked. Too many fellas in blue coasting out there tonight. Anyway; well done to Liverpool on the win. Fully deserved.

Richard Hillman

Man City didn't have a shot of any kind in the last 36 minutes





But they won the passing

The moment little Mickey Owen said it would probably be the best game of the season, you knew it was fvcked.

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.

Get in!

Klopp, a coach with names that aren't as big as rival teams but all with a common purpose, pulling together, punching above their weight.

Guardiola, a coach with big names of the past, too many of whom are faded talents propped up by past glories, a group haphazardly thrown together trying to be moulded into a framework that too many do not look capable of executing. Pepball is great, but Pepball cannot be played successfully against top opposition when so many of its practioners are either no longer capable of performing it or were never capable in the first place.

Huge win. The club has made huge progress this calendar year. Roll on the new one.

Rayne Wooney

So it seems "professional performance" and "parking the bus" are interchangeable depending on the spin you want to put on it
