Hard work, Klopp getting it spot on to nullify City, and that curious feeling of knowing there's a lot more from this team to come. Really well done with that performance. Not pretty at times but so fucking effective with the goal in the bank.

Mike Basset · « **Reply #81 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:25:34 pm »

Woooooooo! Not a great game but Klopp knew exactly what he was doing here. He always does against the "big" teams.

Happy for Gini, deserved a goal for all his hard work in the past few games.

Chelsea have to drop points at some point, we just have to keep winning!

Got to savour that. Four wins on the trot to see out the year. HNY fellow Reds...!

El Lobo · « **Reply #83 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:25:40 pm »

Splendid.

If all those people saying 'we'll need at least one more because there's no way we keep a clean sheet' at HT could carry on doing that in future HT threads, that'd be much appreciated

A bit nervy earlier in the half, but some excellent game management and a massive win.

Get the fuck in - bring on 2017!

Nicely done. Nothing spectacular, but its a solid 3 points.

Frizzo · « **Reply #86 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:25:55 pm »

How the fuck do Manchester City come to Anfield and have ZERO CHANCES!?

I'm not talking clear cut chances, ZERO CHANCES WHATSOEVER!?

That's incredible.

Amazing, professional performance - a tactical masterclass the like of which I don't recall seeing since Rafa's heyday. Well in, lads!

Pie Eyed · « **Reply #89 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:26:03 pm »

Nervy second half, but who gives a fuck?

Another clean sheet.

Another rival beaten.

Are we unbeaten so far against the top teams? Arsenal (w), Tottenham (d), Chelsea (w), City (w).

Plus the mid-table shite: Untied (d), Ev (w).

Best points tally at this stage of ANY premier league season (because of course, football only started in the 1990's).

Anyway - Brilliant win to end the year. More of the same in 2017 please.

Happy Fucking New Year, boys and girls.

Saw that game out very well tonight.Our manager has a fantastic tactical brain and the team managed that game superbly after the goal.

3 precious points all that matters

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!

So a 93rd minute 1-0 and now a 7th minute 1-0.

Got to love it!

Shite matches to watch these last two, but boy did we grind them out

Professional stuff

GreatEx · « **Reply #97 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:26:28 pm »

Time to unclench and have a poo.

When was the last time we held a 1-0 lead for 83 minutes plus injury time? That was great. Chelsea still within reach.

you'll take a 1-0 unconvincing win over a game like Bournemouth any day. City threw everything at us 2nd half but didn't really look like scoring

Of course, we were excellent without the ball but fairly mediocre in possession. Matters little at the end of the day though as long as 3 points is the end result.

LJA · « **Reply #101 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:26:37 pm »

Great defensive performance!

Dim Glas · « **Reply #102 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:26:43 pm »

LOVED the way we battled 2nd half.

As important a way to win as is scoring tons of goals.

Such character.

Omygoditsomar · « **Reply #103 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:26:58 pm »

Get In can't believe sterling stayed on for full ninety. Strange subs by pep. That's how all the other teams should play against city.

markedasred · « **Reply #104 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:26:59 pm »

I said in the pre game thread: "So Pep just said that Jurgen is "the greatest football manager in the world" in his presser, with the video of it hitting the BBC footy page. He may then have attempted to moderate his comment by adding "at organising attacks to break down defences", but hey, that's a compliment if ever another manager made one - or is it mind games?"

And the answer is, Pep was right.

jooneyisdagod · « **Reply #105 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:27:02 pm »

Fucking great win. Solid at the back even when we looked like we were conceding possession. On another day and with a bit more composure in the final third, we would have smashed them. Brilliant performance.

Ma Vie en Rouge · « **Reply #106 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:27:04 pm »

Urghh. A horrible 25 minute spell in the second half. Awful passing at times by both teams. Defensively, though, we were almost perfect, however tortuous it was to watch. I loved the way we came back in the last 15 minutes and took the game away from City again. Lovely stuff.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #107 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:27:10 pm »

The toughest win we've had.

Ground it out, defended brilliantly...

King Klopp. · « **Reply #108 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:27:11 pm »

Get the fuck in. Our better was so bad so the fact we managed to win makes it all the fucking better. Get the fuck in Reds.

Wijnaldum is boss.

Honestly haven't celebrated a final whistle like that in ages. Jumped up and properly fist pumping like we'd just fucking won a final or something.

Zlen · « **Reply #109 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:27:28 pm »

Incredible year behind us, hopefully another incredible year ahead.

I love you Liverpool!

Gini's smile melts hearts.

the players worked very hard today. Professional job on man city

ThePeetmix · « **Reply #112 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:27:48 pm »

How sweet is that. A properly good 1-0 win where we just defended fucking excellently. Just one shot on target for City right?

GET IN GINI!

kennedy81 · « **Reply #113 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:27:52 pm »

Brilliant win, get the fuck in.

Fantastic effort from the lads. City gave it their best in the second half but I don't remember Migs even making a save. Great team effort defending.

Fucking excellent stuff. Tense at the end but in truth we should have put them away long before then.

MoM by a country mile was Klavan. What a bargain he's turning out to be.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #119 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:28:25 pm »

One of our worst performances on the ball this season but we've won. Weird match once we scored the goal, the intensity from either side wasn't as high as I would expect or have seen before against them. We neutralized their attacking threat apart from one or two moments, but never was I more frustrated with our passing and decision making on the ball in the second half like I was tonight. We had moments where we could have created better attacking situations but the passing was poor. Can really is an enigma on the ball, his lack of mobility compare to everyone else sticks out.

Hopefully Hendo is not injured too seriously.

Gini with a fantastic header, one of the best at Anfield i've seen, MOTM surely?

Massive win.
