Man City vs Liverpool - Premier League (20/21 - Game 8)

[rodo]

Too much football already starting to take it`s toll on players

[Rich]

I’ll take a 1-1.

Strong first half, thought we looked tired second.

[BobTheCharmer]

Would take a draw before the game. Thought we got into good positions first half but we always choose the wrong pass. I think being able to bring jota on when they were tired could have worked in our favour.

All city second half but we stood strong.

[dizzycat]

Grim second half, got to make early pressure count.

[Fredo]

Great game. Scrappy second half but was to be expected compared to the brilliant first half. It was like watching two heavy weight boxers trying to lay punches to each other but wary of that fatal blow.

Defensively we were sound and that formation might be the way forward for us in some of these tighter games.

[Buzzo]

Good and not so good in that one, but overall pretty satisfactory. Would have taken 1-1 before so no complaints.

No VVD. Trent off injured. Fab injured. Thiago injured.

We've not taken a point away at City for a long time, I'm more than happy with that.

Draw feels about right, we could have been ahead at HT, but, we also could have been behind.

I hope some of our players have 'minor' injuries for the international break

[Mark79]

1 more more point that we usually get away to City. Without Virgil, Fabinho, Thiago and Trent going off after an hour. Take that all day.

[BobTheCharmer]

Getting thiago fit will be key. Not trying to shoehorn 4 into 3.

[BigChief]

Phew, will take that twice on a Sunday. And we have a superior goal difference.

[memzey]

I don’t think the experiment with Jota and Bobby worked. Would have liked to see Jota come on in the second half and inflict his usual damage.

[Zapater]

Based on the chances we had early doors that we fluffed, I see it as two dropped. We should have been three up before their pen. Scruffy and sloppy in this second half.

Disagree. They had a pen, Alisson made a great save in the first half plus the Jesus header. We had good chances but they weren't that clear cut for me. We'd have lost this on a different day and this is a good result.

[Buzzo]

Getting thiago fit will be key. Not trying to shoehorn 4 into 3.

We've only had 1.5 games of him yet, and he looked an absolute magician.

Really excited to see him play after the internationals.

[Buzzo]

There is way too much chat about being top of the League so far. Harry Kane saying Spurs are up for winning it etc. As we know it's a long old battle. I'd be keeping quiet after 8 games.

Other than Villa away which now feels like some kind of bad dream, we have had an excellent start to the season.

[Jas]

Still think Jesus' turn for the goal was a bit of a fluke rather then than the world class Neville claimed but he finished it well once he got clear.

[BigChief]

We've only had 1.5 games of him yet, and he looked an absolute magician.

Really excited to see him play after the internationals.

Can't wait. It's like we're not allowed to open our bestest present until Xmas or something. [Trump]REALLY UNFAIR! [/Trump]
