Three brain farts from three different defenders in one match. We were well off the pace most of the game though. Thought we were getting the draw at the end but not sure we would have deserved it (though I would have taken it of course).

Onwards and upwards.

I can’t believe it. I actually can’t believe it.

Coutinho gone, Karius in goal and no VVD. Insane performance.

The end put a bitter taste in my mouth, but I think it was because we were knackered after that lightning spell.

Klopps building something with us, and we’ve got to keep him.

You guys swarmed is today and we weren't ready, fair play and good game. Hope you lose the rest of your games! :P
 
At 4-1 I was worried about a severe kicking. At least 4-3 looks respectable.

I suppose an off-day was inevitable but many were beyond gash - Stones, Fernandinho and Ederson. Maybe it's best Raheem doesn't bother making the trip to Anfield in future.

Let's hope we take it out on Newcastle next weekend.

We have to lose eventually so least it's by a 1 goal margin. The only negative is that other teams will follow this klopp blueprint as how Celtic exposed us last season. Hopefully before they figure this out, Pep adapts this in his coaching.

Normally Silva stops this panic setting in.
 
Stones showing the same weaknesses as against Falcao and Sterling yet again weak at Anfield, and Delph was preyed upon in the opening. Only Walker of the English players showed the mettle needed to battle there.

I wouldn’t get to giddy, we always perform like that anfield, as you would already know.
 
Liverpool deserved it. They pressed and worked much harder and took their chances.
City might have to learn to be more pragmatic against certain teams who are capable of hurting us. I can totally sympathise with the 'we won't change our style' mantra, but I think that's going to be part of Pep's learning process too - sometimes, being able to change style is another tool at our disposal.

Ultimately, I think we were undone by mistakes that were induced by us not being used to such a high workrate from Liverpool. They were more than up for this game against us, and it showed.
 
At least we fought to the end and made the score respectable. We sat back too much. The way to beat Liverpool is to attack them mercilessly. Hold the ball in their third and attack until the game has past them.

The front three were terrible today on the whole. Sergio is a mere shadow of his previous self. It has been proven again that we are a far weaker side without Jesus. The priority this transfer window must be to sign at least one forward.

We are not a defensive side and we'll never be one. You don't need to keep clean sheets to win matches, but you do need to outscore your opponent. Right now we are relying on the sheer number of chances created to score. That is not a recipe for long term success. You need to be clinical, especially in the big games.

Dropping another £50m on a centre half is not going to improve us significantly.
 
8-4 on aggregate and if away goals count double then 11-4, seriously though 10 mins of defensive madness what can you say, it was just madness
 
Bad bad day at the office, too many players well below par, Sterling, Gundogan, Stones and Otta in particular. At 1-1 in the 2nd half we were in control then those bad mistakes......
Painful and we've not had a day like this for bloody ages. We're still top, were still gonna win the league, expect another unbeaten run until the seasons end. The players will hurt after that and make sure Newcastle suffer. Oh, and Tyler is a wan*er of the highest order. Fuck all the media wan* fest .......we are City.....champions elect.....
 
Surprised to look at the table and find Liverpool 15 points behind the leaders watching those celebrations! I thought we were absolutely woeful today at the back, multiple individual errors cost us dear and the game was long gone despite the 4-3 in the end.

A couple of things for me:

1. Stop playing Sterling against Liverpool, he’s been excellent this season but he doesn’t have the mentality to get over the crowd, and he’s shown it in multiples games now. He didn’t play his own game today at all and it essentially breaks down half of our attacking side.

2. Gundogan really needs to pull his weight in this system if he wants to play for the team long-term. I thought he was THE main reason we struggled to play out from the back all game. He was never available and it completely isolated the centre backs and Fernandinho, who not surprisingly all had their worst games in ages. A big part of that for me was Gundogans lack of movement to be available. Consider when Silva plays and how well De Bruyne drops deep; we completely lost that.

3. You will always get the odd mistake with a keeper that plays the way Ederson plays, but he can’t be faulted for his season so far so I don’t begrudge him a mistake today. It was just a shame it came on a day other players had also made big mistakes.

Prem league and a cup will do me.....we aint past bristol city yet and they nearly beat us the other night doing what liverpool did.

We are looking tired and need a couple of players to supplement the squad though this is something we have always known
