Grealish this season has been a joy to watch. Oh, and dippers - who they?

Exactly!

Firstly…

@super_city_si Considering your pre-match post on Walker not playing…“So you do you agree now :)”

Can’t help, but to agree on the 4 CBs now!
;-)

Thought Stones was outstanding in that role, and Akanji has a great game, too!

Secondly, while the humble pie is still warm, I might as well eat my words on Grealish’s defensive effort, which may have saved the day. Another Salah breakaway goal would have changed the complexion of the game. Superb all around performance from Grealish, though I wish he’d take more shots when cutting across the box on his right foot!

What an absolutely magnificent TEAM performance, especially after going a goal down in the first 20 mins. In fact, I’m struggling to remember a better overall team performance, and domination of a top team, since 1-6 over a decade ago!!

I was flying home from Brussels and, while I was trying to avoid any mention of the game so I could watch it when I got home, the suspense was killing me, so I had to ask Shanwick ATC before he handed us off to Iceland. He was a Scot, so was fairly dispassionate in his delivery of City 4 Liverpool 1. I was not nearly as dispassionate in my thanks for the result! Thankfully, though, I had release the mic key before exclaiming “Get the fuck in!”

Made the rest of the flight much, much happier!!!

It’s genius what Pep has come up with for Stones, we now have a double pivot and Stones has got the capability to take the ball at pressure and look forward. It opens up extra options of passing lanes going forward rather than just Rodri finding them. Probably why we have created and scored a lot more goals recently.

My friend in Thailand took her mum to a restaurant packed with red dips to watch it in their town, the pair of them decked out in City shirts. Cheered every goal loudly as the miserable Thai red tops went silent crying into their spicy pork. Lol .....what a gal ;)

 

[we are the east stand]

Pearce on Cheesys vlog bigging up the dippers and tipping them to do us proves he was a better sparky than manager

He was at it before the game on Talksport too, talking up the scousers and basically writing us off due to no Haaland.

He also mentioned it’s a must win for Liverpool if they are to stay in the hunt of winning something this season, fucking clueless to the fact they were 20 odd points behind us and Arsenal before KO. Muppet.

His f’in eyes drive me crazy .. they look like they are from different heads

One eye on the way to the shops. The other coming back with the change

Glad I wasn't on a plane with a Liverpool supporter flying it. "Just a bit of turbulence."

Genius? He could have come up with it years ago!

It also stops teams dropping a forward back to mark Rodri when we are trying to play out, as there is not only an extra forward pass available, but the movement is so good, there is an extra “any direction” pass!

Players are moving in advance of a second pass!! At times, it’s like telepathy, Bluetooth (or a wired connection for the FOCs) that tells a player where he needs to be to not receive THIS pass, but THE NEXT ONE!

Just ridiculous to watch our passing and movement for the goals. Truly an outstanding performance. It is going to take some kind of player to dislodge ANY of the top 15-16 players in this team!

How shit is Trent, by the way?

We've played lots of players out of position at FB under Pep. None of them have been as shit as Arnold.

 

[East Level 2]

Have we (City), at any point in the recent history, had any kind of public apology from LFC for their fans disgusting behaviour?

Why would they apologise? It's never their fault.
