Unfortunately, the Saudi's will eventually buy him for a huge amount.
Didn't seem to be that interested today.
Nico O'Reilly was excellent and was switched on all game.
Think Liverpool were very, very poor today, but City's press and general harassing obviously worked...

Salah is a myth this season.

Liverpool should have cashed in with a big money move to the Saudi league.

In fairness we had the same situation with KDB but we took the right one

Brilliant performance. Take a bow Doku, absolutely unplayable today.

See the scouse twat on the late news failed to mention the football, wanker!

I could be exaggerating here but I reckon that’s the best we’ve played for a good couple of years going back to the treble season. Agree with the poster that we got a bit lucky with their disallowed goal as I don’t think The Don gets to it anyway but did Liverpool really deserve to be in the game at that point? Second half they put a bit of pressure on at times but Doku put paid to that. Speaking of which, he deserved that goal not just for today but for his dominant display in the 1-1 draw 2 seasons ago

Donna’s dive is irrelevant. Once Robertson ducked his head he became part of the play. A very clear offside. Robertson should have moved to the side as Roy Keane said. Players do that all the time to avoid being offside. Robertson is to blame.

Motd,Danny Nosferatu and fathead Rooney as pundits should be interesting to hear the crying over van dyke goal..

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Rewatched the saved penalty. The goalie was definitely off his line before Harland struck the ball.
Thought it should be retaken and aren't pigmol supposed to be ensuring this is done?

Just got in. It was brilliant today. Bouncing on the concourse at half time and people singing coming out the ground.

Nico G is starting to look quality. Nunes was brilliant again today as was O'Reilly. Doku took the piss out of them. Bernardo always seems to play really well against them, I think he hates them as much as most of us do.

Happy days.

Sorry I wasn’t having a go, I agree with you. It shouldn’t be Haaland.

I feel when he refused the one in the FA cup final he should have been stripped of them then.

I also think Cherki would be a good candidate as technically he’s brilliant.

But I think he’s got that streak in him to do something crazy, which I love. Football is about entertainment.
It was just me saying I think he would do something mad.

The goalie not knowing which foot Cherki is going to use could be fun

One of the best parts of the day was pep’s comment at the end.

“I’m proud to do it here in Manchester with my City”

 

[noseve]

He missed for Norway last month, it was retaken and he missed again.
Went on to score a hat trick.

I wish they'd bring Le Tissier over for a day to teach him how to take them.

Always a good idea for the lead striker to take penalties, keeps them in the habit of scoring.

The MOTD highlights were awful, made the game look even almost favoured Liverpool action wise. Only showed Doku’s performance in two clips and one was the goal. Murphy showing a bit more in the after match chat

Just saw it. I wonder if anyone was able to translate what the bloke with the wheetabix on his head was saying?

Thanks for the clarification mate. I thought it was more to do with whether it prevents a player getting to the ball due to blocked view, etc.

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Absolutely fucking loved today..beating the murderers is always great but today we toyed with them.
NOR, Nunes, Bernie, Nico G, Phil and big Earl were excellent but Doku was amazing..he ran them fucking ragged.
Bloody throat is sore now but worth it..we are definitely getting better and that's without Rod who I think when paired with Nico G will improve us further.
Enjoy the two weeks before we play again..I know I will.

I’m in Tenerife and gutted to have missed it. Watched it with the Tenerife Citizens in Los Cristianos. Totally concur with your analysis. Doku was different gravy today. So deserved his goal.

 

[bondsman]

Outstanding performance today. Best I’ve seen us play for 2 years probably. Well done to Pep and the team. Imagine us with a fully fit Rodri as well.

Truly awful can hardly string a sentence together and even when he does it’s needing subtitles..

How do you subtitle nonsense?

 

[bearcityblu]

Gutted to miss my first league match of the season today due to work but sounds like the boys in blue done us proud today. Good to see the team clicking, just seen the highlights Doku on fire.
I have to say I have really enjoyed seeing how far Nico O'Reilly has came on. Seems assured and strong defensively and good going forward.
