Jones, Gravenberch, Thiago. I’m not saying they are better but when you then don’t have them on your bench it weakens you. Undoubtedly. Saying otherwise is foolish. And Robertson clearly not 100% or else he’d starting. So, injuries have decimated that back line.

Pep should double his total wins at Anfield Today.

Looking forward to a good competitive game hopefully.

NITRO95

Think City could go crazy here. That's not a slight on Liverpool, they'll do similar to Utd next week

Early confidence from City.

City will use this game to lay down thier marker for the title run in. They will blow Liverpool away today, beat Arsenal in 2 weeks and then we will have 2 months of Sky try to ham up suspense for the title run in....

Wonderful play from Bradley, just nobody in there at the end of it.

Garzorico

Liverpool to win this all day long. It’s written in the stars baby. No chance of City getting anything from the game.

Garzorico

City all over the place defensively. Can’t get the ball off Liverpool now.

klose

Gotta do better there Nunez holding that run

ctrl-alt-delete

Liverpool really coming into this now, tails up and City look fragile at the back.

Stones with the goal at the near post from a corner, soft.

City lead 0-1.

tayto lover

Simple goal from a training ground routine obviously. Liverpool defence asleep too.

earthwormjack

That's awful defending on that corner. MacAllister weak as piss on Ake.

doc_17

Good set piece routine.

tayto lover

Liverpool have to score next for sure. If City do then its all over.

ctrl-alt-delete

City the kings of those type of fouls.

Deserved yellow for Rodri.

HT 0-1

doc_17

Dave Jones on Sky “Jamie, do Liverpool need one of these to go in”……well Dave, I’d say they do.

klose

Penalty Liverpool, suicide stuff at the back for City.

Edersons 5th booking of the season, can’t imagine many keepers have more then that.

earthwormjack

Ederson, that was absolutely horrific. Absolutely clattered him😂

Garzorico

Peno ‘Pool. They’ll go onto win it now. Fine margins n all that.

City are rubbish at the back. No chance they are winning the league.

Necro

Ederson saw Ramsdales mistake last night and thought, how can I top that? 😂

Garzorico

City falling apart now

Xander10

Mac allister was an absolute bargain. Now don't lose it

joeguevara

Whoever wins this match is up for grabs. But the atmosphere in the ground is second to none.

IrishOwl...

Diaz, not going to get much better chances. The touch has to be better!

Necro

How's he missed that jeepers

Garzorico

How is this not 3-1 yet

Xander10

Some ball by Salah. Diaz 😔

Quazzie

How many chances does Diaz need?

Mr.Crinklewood

Some ball from Salah...

Funny feeling Ortega is going to be sent off

mobydopy

3 big chances for Diaz , how hasn’t he scored

Dr. Bre

Diaz missing great chances

IrishOwl...

Diaz could have had a hat trick in 5 minutes!

You have to feel City will win this now when they get the momentum back. Liverpool will regret these misses.

joeguevara

This is like a junior B hurling match defending. Very exciting. Either team can win it.

El Gato De Negocios

LFC will be kicking themselves if they don't get a winner, by far the better team this half.

Absolutely...Diaz appallingly bad in front of goal. May be the difference between 3 and 1 point

El Gato De Negocios

Pathetic dive from salah.

Quazzie

I'm assuming that all the Liverpool fans will be calling for a yellow for Salah here?

tayto lover

No yellow for a blatant dive from Salah??

joeguevara

Great respect by the two managers. Fair result.

IrishOwl...

Thats a blatant penalty on McCallister, you have to laugh 🤣

DellyBelly

They need to come down on diving....Arsenal last night and now Salah...its a blight

And every player from all the teams who do it.

Jota two weeks ago.

Bruno every week.

Kane for years.

Ottoman_1000

Doku was one lucky lucky boy there....what was he thinking in the first place?

Weepsie

City getting a woefully wrong var decision their way in a potentially title deciding game. That's happened a few too many times now.

If var had done it's job properly, city wouldn't have at least one of their league titles, maybe 2 ( failing to red card haaland last year v palace)

Deeper Blue

That was a great game to watch

It’s unfortunately consistent with VAR refereeing across the board. You have to do a lot more than that to get a VAR overturn these days unfortunately. Unless you’re a milimetre offside.

IrishOwl...

That Doku tackle was outrageous, like it should have been at least a yellow card, let alone just a penalty 🤣

Fitz*

If that wasn't in the 98th minute in a potential title deciding match, it gets given as a penalty. Or if it happens anywhere else on the pitch, it's a foul.

Pep's pre match comments about the referee have made the impact he wanted.

jacool

I love the way people here get a strop over Salah, but are silent when the McAllister incident happens.

You are either seeing the whole game, or you are biased beyond belief!

City could have won it with Doku near the end but will be far happier with that result.

They were on the ropes for the last 20 minutes more or less. Arsenal probably delighted.

New odds after that game: 6/5 Man City, 9/4 Liverpool, 5/2 Arsenal and 400/1 Tottenham.
