I was looking up the Rags record in the Premier League at Anfield.

They've 11 wins from 32 games at Anfield.

1 win in the last 10 at Anfield.

Most of their wins coming earlier in the Premier League era, Liverpool were really poor in the 90's whilst the Rags were the best team in England hence why they've accumulated more wins at that stage. It's a place they've really struggled with in the last 10 years including numerous drubbings.

Obviously our record at Anfield is horrendous, In the 90's and 00" when ever we've been in the league it was mainly avoiding relegation so trying to get a win then was incredibly tough other than the win under Keegan with Anelka scoring two.

Since the takeover we've been competitive in alot of games at Anfield getting alot of draws but also alot of defeats, The thing is even since Pep has arrived they've had Klopp and they have been our title challengers they were a seriously good side so it's always been difficult for us.

Having said all that, We've been the best team in England for the best part of 12 years now and we really should have a couple more wins at Anfield.

Same could be said for Liverpool coming to our place, I don't think they've beaten us at The Etihad in the League in 10 years or something.

One or two dubious refereeing performances in there if memory serves me correctly
 
They played pretty well yesterday and got a decent result.

However. This tactic of Amorim's seems so negative in nature generally. All about stifling generally. It feels like something that suits difficult away games against teams who are better than them.

I'm not sure it'll suit home games when they should go out and dominate.

Also feel like some of their players don't really want to play to a system. Almost like they think they're too good to be told how to play and to work hard and be disciplined. In the toughest games sometimes they realise that it matters a d they do it, but they aren't professional and humble enough to do it in other games. They've got a long way to go still.

Jesus, they really are delusional. It's like they forget what happened in the previous match and the one before that. They'll get battered off Arsenal and it'll be all quiet again. Till they take something off against Saints and they're back again.

They really are that thick. The lowest IQ of a group of people you will ever find.

Great result today, prolongs the misery for them.

Luckily there are 37 other games in the season and we tend to do much better than the rags over those.

It's weird how Liverpool fans and players seem to get much more wound up about playing City than they do the rags. Given the media would have you believe El Plastico is the biggest and bestest game in English football, it seems a big love in without much of an edge.

Without a doubt though, City need to get over the mental block at Anfield, and learn to deal with the hostilities.
 
I see Arsenal fans complaining about Hojlund kicking the ball away yesterday and not being booked comparing it to Trossard v us.

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but in the derby a few weeks ago he did the same when already booked, nothing was made of it.
To be fair, it would have been a very harsh sending off given his first yellow was for the Walker incident.
