We were playing one of the most dangerous attacks in the PL, if not Europe. Some perspective is needed.
No which is why it was a very risky decision to put Otamendi one of one with Salah. Salah failed to take advantage in the end, but he could have done so.Do people actually expect us to concede no chances at all? Because that's something the greatest sides if all time never managed.
First half Salah gave Otamendi a torrid time. A 5-0 win should not disguise that. We were fortunate that Salah lacked composure / quality and that the game was changed by the sending off.

It was obvious that Salah had the beating of Otamendi. Otamendi was on a yellow, and had Mane not got himself sent off, or put it another way if Ederson had not been brave enough to stop Mane, we would have had to change the set-up, or probably concede, most likely from Salahs runs down the right.
Sorry, i don't understand your point. Salah was one on one with Otamendi. He was booked. This balance was altered by the sending off which was a one off event caused by the speed of Ederson and an error in judgement by Mane so my view Guardiola was saved from changing his team by a rather fortunate event (for City)But it didn't happen like that. Why do you have to keep dreaming up hypothetical scenarios ?

Why do you have to throw insults into it? All I'm doing is discussing the game. There's nothing hypothetical about Salah giving Otamendi a torrid time either.There are lots of ifs and probably in that post.
The system we played allowed us to attack Liverpool the way we did. No matter how many hypothetical scenarios you come up with, the facts are that we were 1-0 up and had created a number of dangerous chances ourselves.
Having a GK in the ilk of Ederson means we can play that way because he has the quality to make those saves.
Honestly, you focus on the negatives when we beat a title rival 5-0 and also claim that you wouldn't want to see Messi in a City shirt. Are you on the WUM or just miserable?
We were one up, Jesus had chance and stones nearly scored all before mane sent off, game could have gone many ways even with 11 v 11. All ifs and buts. We won 5-0.
