Thanjk you.
Paul.S
Does any other stadium empty as quickly as the Etihad? Almost as if it were designed for a thumping defeat.....
When Aguero scored to make it 1-3 before half time I was actually angry that Liverpool had been pegged back slightly esp as with a fraction more sharpness it could just have easily been 5-0.
Just a wonderful sparkling performance by the boys from brazil (including Lucas in the engine room) aided by Pellegrinis curious decision to play a two in the middle of the park. They never stood a chance against the Klopp tactics of pressing high and then moving the ball quickly round them.
Sterlings play was a reminder of how far he still has to go, no invention or real composure when needed as Firmino was splendidly lively and clever as indeed was Can - two or three fabulous backheels.
The strangest thing of the lot though was this - the City bench contained not a single game changer, Liverpool's had Ibe, Benteke and Sturridge. Suddenly City's recruitment looks a bit dodgy.
Incredible performance and great result! Everyone put the work in and our forward players ran rings around their defence at times...was sublime to watch! I was getting more & more excited & animated with each pass that lead to our goals! Was hillarious to see
