Liverpool vs Man City: Match Thread

[Chris]

Defo Carroll's. Stunning, stunning half.

[rudedog]

Brilliant pressure all through the half but in particular for the 2nd goal - 4 of our players in the box and 2 on the edge when Kuyt hit it.

[Darkon]

Great first half, we were in total control and could with a bit of luck have had one more.

Great to see Carroll get his first goal(s) and so far good debut by Flannagan, nice to see another local getting through and doing well in a difficult debut game.

[Bender]

Suarez is ****in brilliant

[red g]

Carroll's first goal was superb but his second looked like an own goal.

Great performance alround..

slo mo it, it was carrolls....

[spud_gun]

Sky just replaying the third goal. Cracking cross from Raul and great to see a Liverpool striker attacking a cross like that

From the BBC Live text.

BBC Radio 5 live's Craig Burley: "So far this is a political broadcast for Kenny Dalglish to get the Liverpool job. "

And...

2054: Oh dear. Just seen a close-up of City boss Roberto Mancini, who looks like a man who banked all his money on Rory McIlroy to win the Masters.

[Zapater]

****ing quality. He's a bit off pace at the minute, but Aurelio's inclusion helps significantly.

[vonk]

Brilliant stuff!! Passing the ball around nicely and the cutting edge up front. Best half of the season. Fantastic from every man in red. Can't begin to say how proud I am of them all. Very worried before kick off, all worries gone now.

The team is playing with such belief now. The future's bright, the future is red!!!

Couldn't agree more Danny

awesome stuff from LFC

[wavydavy]

Well that was simply outstanding stuff. 2 lads in CM were class massive performances from Lucas & Spearing in there dominated. Suarez & Carroll are a nightmare to handle. Flanagan looks very composed & what a difference Aurelio makes at LB.

Superb display, hope we keep it up and still take the game to them. If only we could play like this against the lesser teams with this intensity and tenacity we would wipe the floor with them.

While I couldn't agree more Danny Boy it does beg the question: why do we look so ****ing abject against **** opposition?

[wiw]

Not sure what the fuss is about Think we've been quite average overall, got lucky for the goals

[Norbs]

From CFC.net:

[Rudo]

Poor Flanno's ****ting himself already.

[dom9]

I can't think of too many forwards in the world that would have scored Carroll's second goal.
