What a goal by Silva. 3-1. This LB 4 City .. where da hell did they get him from? This dude can Ball!

OMG what a move! Deserved a goal! Liverpool hanging on

Misjudged need for defensive recruitments. Peperempe overlooked the loss of King Vincente and overestimated Laporte’s invincibility. Still a two horse race, Leicester will fall off, Chelsea the same. Provided the Citizens are less than nine adrift by the turn of the year, they’re well within a shout.

City PK denied again! Pep gesticulating like a defective wind up toy.

Walker misses another Sitter. Been a bad day at the office for the Citizens. Left their scoring boots @ home.

Man City got cheated by EPL.

Aguero was the MOTM 4 Liverpool!

Will say one thing though, EPL fans R fortunate to hv 2 of the best coaches around in Pep and Klopp. They’ve raised the standard of this league immensely!

Don’t underestimate King of the North, Chris “3 the hard way” Wilder.

Let them continue to.

...City do reach end of the road.

They will fail this term, all their big stars will be frustrated and want to leave.

You wish!

They are a solid team.

Always remember that today they did not have several key players...

Hilarious. If the pursuit of honours proves as Sisyphean as the adventures of Don Quixote, rest assured, the exodus will be as anticlimactic as the minute after 2359, December 31st 1999. City will simply go full Abdullah in main market. The game is gone.

...I like that excuse when a team is whacked

Interesting wrinkle to the high press in this game.

How to use 3 players (Mane, Firmino, Salah) in an advanced position to control passing lanes to six opponents...

It also helps when the opponent has to disguise midfielders as center backs due to injury crisis.

Not really a factor when you consider Fernandinho's quality playing out from the back, although they surely did miss Laporte.

The issue here is more the structure of the press rather than personnel. The effectiveness of the press is first and foremost about structure. they could do it successfully against Barca, and have done so successfully vs City in the past.

There was a tweak in the structure...

What this team did to Barca is shocking,Barca will never want to face Liverpool again with this current team.
To think Liverpool was the better team than Barca in Spain though they loss that game.
Liverpool need to overcome Manu,some how they freeze tactically which is a surprise
