Thorough deserved that. Thought for a minute the lack of cutting edge would cost us but Coutinho's goal is good enough to win any match.

Not going to lie, I didn't expect that result or level of performance. We were quality, Joe Allen was MOM for me, best performance he has put in for us that I can remember.
You could pick anyone from the 11, but Allen was immense. More of the same from everyone though.

Christ, can you think what we'd have done if we'd started the season this way as well? Almost don't bear thinking about, but my christ, if we suppliment the squad with the quality we need, we'll be set for years with this.

I didn't realise how much Lallana gets about on a pitch until today, he was fantastic.

Yeah, really impressive how he, and the team in general, got about so well. Lallana making last ditch tackles in the box and Sterling making an important tackle on Aguero.

What a amazing win that was. We so deserved that. I am a bloke and I so want to have Coutinho's baby's. What another great goal that was. Allen and Coutinho were both MOTM for me. Can was a breast at the back. Add to that we had to play extra time in midweek as well.

I think this deserves the daffy duck picture. If only the manager had changed his team formation much more earlier in the season. This season could be so much closer. I think a doctor will have to remove the smile from my face. So proud of each and every player. So pleased to hear Anfield rocking again.

So about Rodgers not performing in big games ...

To be fair, some of the criticism after Thursday was warranted (especially the stuff PoP mentioned). What we did today was play to our strengths. We had a go at City and asked questions of them despite them probably being massive favourites. Something we didn't do on Thursday where we were probably the team most people expected to go through...

Coutinho was brilliant but how good was Allen today? Word for Lovren in the second half, looked a lot calmer and played really well.

Incidentally, did anyone think we looked tired there? I thought there was one team that looked affected by Europe there, and it wasn't the boys in Red.
Emre Can is insanely fit. I mean how in god's name he put that amount of leg in it I don't even know. Lovren and Skrtel also looked practically fresh physically. Sterling did look knackered though and if we hadn't had two fantastic long range efforts you'd have to point to him for not finishing, and for not looking as fast as usual (not his fault).

Absolutely deserved win, especially based on the second half performance. City simply didn't have any questions to ask us with the ball then, as we kept it! Credit to our team, but they were ill prepped on winning it off us, not particularly surprised with Pellegrini, defensive work, tactics. never really seem his strongest asset. We always spank City performance wise at home these days, now the results are catching up, last season, today....

Great shot from Coutinho, need to see it again, but he has this technique where he puts a bit of topspin on it, which I've seen Aguero do, the real Ronaldo too, rather than a straight instep hit. When you combine that with a bit of swerve, you get a shot like that, dipped right in beyond Hart while staying out of his reach during the trajectory as well.

Best performance of the season. Good luck to Lucas and Gerrard trying to shift Hendo and Allen from the CMF spot. Both stunning.

Allen was absolutely class today. Don't think he was MotM because frankly at times Coutinho was playing a different sport to the other 21 men on the pitch.

But he was excellent. Him and Lovren did themselves proud today.

Outstanding performance, to a man.
Skirtl was so cool, Lovren strong.  Coutinho is a genius. Joe Allen was exceptional, didn't realise he could play like that against a team like City for a whole game.
Brilliant!!!

Allen had a very good game, seems to have grown in confidence the past few, Lovren was better 2nd half too.

And the ref had a great game.

Clattenburg is by far the best ref in England. He might be a bit lenient for a lot of people, but more often than not he's the same for both teams and that's what I like about him...

They were all great.

It was a good goal. Yes you can see some mistakes but in real time nobody did much wrong and it was City's good play that created it.

One shot on target from City shows how well our defence played against one of the best teams in the league.
