That was a fantastic game to watch, and we can be very proud of the quality and effort from City after one of the hardest fixture triples we've probably ever had!
First half was control, pace-setting and dominance with no reward. Sadly the finishing was a little wayward, Foden taking an ever so slightly heavy touch after Bernardo wizardry in midfield and a rubbish De Bruyne header (made me chuckle in hindsight), Klopp admitting they were desperate for the HT whistle.
Second half yes, Liverpool did improve, but City continued to make chances, and the game was more like how i was expecting - technical, fast and lots of chances. The only bit we unravelled was Rodri and one or two others began to lose their concentration a bit, up to and including the Salah goal and a short period after that, but my god did Rodri make up for it with that Fabinho tackle. Cant be arsed with the Milner 'debate', he should have been sent off, no ifs or buts. Move on.
Grealish doesnt look quite right to me yet, so far in blue he's more suited games that we pile on to an opposition and less so in this sort of cut and thrust stuff. He wants to stand the opponent up a lot and let some one make a run but that isnt always the best option. I feel we might use him centrally a bit this season to rotate the ball around. De Bruyne is rusty but he scored and looks better each time i see him. Jesus is working his little legs off but you cant help but think his right wing days are a bit numbered? everyone played well, couple of slips but we were playing a very good side.
