I was nervous the entire game because I know City have the quality to punish a team that switches off for a few moments. Watched it with my bestie and couldn't help but think back to the Salzburg game where she scoffed at my concerns when we were 3-0 up - she understood perfectly later though!

But when you spend half a billion quid you should have backups who can perform at least 80% as good as your main players, so honestly bitching about injuries is a non starter excuse. We managed without Alisson, and we've struggled with injured defenders off and on for a good couple of years. Maybe the stars are just aligning for us this year, but it's about fucking time if they are.

I predicted 3-1 and I'm sorely pissed I never put money on it!

The break comes at a good time after today's result. They can reflect on today's win and prepare for Palace after the break full of confidence.

Whereas City can reflect on their defeat, let it burrow into their core, let it eat away at them, and then they have to play Chelsea.

On holiday so I’ve missed everything other than a gif of Fabinho’s goal which someone posted on here.

I managed to just leave my phone in a locker and avoid it for the first half, checked at half time saw we were 2-0 up and constantly refreshed whilst having lunch, just putting my phone back in the locker as I was at a waterpark and just as I did someone on the match comms says ‘bugger’ absolutely ruined me for the next 20 minutes, wandered around in some paranoid mess imagining switching the phone on at full time and seeing City had won 4-3 or something.

What a fucking game to miss.

Still up the reds, absolutely fucking delighted with that.

Someone in the Times comments page came out with Trent lacks the pace to become a top Full back. Well, he left the entire City team trailing on two occasions. Where do they get these people from

Manchester. Obviously

We were magnificent today. Like a bold majestic erect phallus, buoying and swaying defiantly with unabashed vigour. Standing tall in readiness to ravage. Kneel and submit Pep. Lie down and take it. It will all be over soon. You fucking whiney baldy Arabian poster boy bitch. For we are Liverpool, and we will be Champions. The end.

Generally I would say you have problems

Metaphorically I think you are spot on

But back to your problems, the way you're swinging one night you'll whirl round and unbeknownst to you poke out Pat Garret's aiming eye.

How many times does Pep mention in his post-match press conference that City won 2 PL titles in a row and 7 titles in 2 seasons? Who's he needing to remind about this? I figure he's trying to remind his employers that he's a good manager and they shouldn't fire him. Fuck me, talk about blowing your own trumpet. Pipe down motherfucker, pipe down.

Noticed that. He didn't answer the questions put to him, he never does when they are beat. He loves it when teams play them proper football and they hammer them and he praises the f**k out of them, but when teams play them proper football and tear them a new one, he doesn't want to talk about it.
Kompany was squirming too in the studio. Robertson said in his interview the game turned with the first goal. Then Kompany said twice that Robertson said they talked about how important to get the first goal was (he didnt even say that) and kept going on about the pen. I get that he doesn't want to criticise City, but he's getting paid well to go on and give his opinion and he fannied out of it.
Thought Mourinho was great at that point and said he didn't want to talk about VAR anymore.
I thought the ref was excellent today and fair. Brilliant to see Sean Cox there too

Agree mate. They didn't play all too well for me. We disrupted their rhythm for almost the entire game. I said it in the halftime thread that they looked clueless. They had no outlets up front, they were fumbling with it and if they had possession upfront, they were at a loss as to what to do.

Their only resort was to pass it too Sterling all game long and that was the extent of their threat. Poor from them today. Prolly the worst I've seen them play against us in recent years. Their defense, for all it's holes were excellent on the ball though. Felt they played that way so as to open the game a bit, but our pressing was relentless. Keeper booted it out quite a few times after being put under tremendous pressure.

Still, you can only beat what's put in front of you and we did that in style!

Although now I think about it more, maybe the change is more about us....?

Now I think they really missed Sane, he’s been tremendous about us.

But the real reason I wasn’t shitting myself is probably us. We’ve got this... we’ve always got this... we’re so solid, even under pressure, and even if it went 3-3? I’d have backed us to win 4-3 or 5-3.

I'll say it again, City are a class act.
The beauty of their play, in their mindset, is a thing to behold and watch, and say - fair fucks, this lot are good, however, today, they came up against the masters of a different style, as different shtick - one with their own way of playing - this wasn't a face off, this was two teams who are above and beyond those close to them in an ability to win the big trophies and are light years ahead in their shtick of play to which each team presides in. As nervous as I was when they attacked, I was only comforted through that worry, by my confidence we would score when we attacked.

I'm not eloquent enough to describe what I saw, but what I did see was enough to tell me - whether one sits 1st and one sits 4th, these two teams will be right there 1st and 2nd at the end of the season and, will then have to play one another, one last time for the season, in the European cup final, draws permitting.

Only down side - the booing shite.
If you cant get behind us and make the noise that scared the opposition for years, singing about our team, then don't turn into a bluenose and stand there like a twat and boo like a massive bad fanny. This is not the Kop, so don't think it is for one minute.

I agree about basking in the fewm but it would have been such a harsh penalty. The ball came across off a double ricochet (Silva on to Lovren's shin back to Silva's arm) and there's really no way Trent could have moved his arm out of the way. His arm was in a natural position for what he was doing which was tracking the run of Aguero.

I've seen a few Man City fans comparing his body shape to that of somebody blocking a cross (arms crossed behind their own back) but it's comparing apples and oranges. The move came down our left and Trent came inside to cover. He had no expectation of blocking a cross - particularly when the cross was a result of a double ricochet.

We literally couldn’t have scripted it better.

A strong start by City to get their confidence up, then a penalty claim not given, then we completely knocked the wind out of their sails with two quick goals. Guardiola then sinks into his seat on 13 minutes, visibly frustrated and looking a little lost.

Then we gradually ramp up the pressure and hit them with a succession of attacks, whilst Aguero misfires at the other end. Sterling shits his pants again and has a few hissy fits, and we keep our cool throughout. Guardiola then starts losing his shit like a spoilt baby and moaning at anyone that looks like an official, and rubs his bald head whilst Arteta looks on like a dazed robot. Guardiola then gets narky with the officials and the interviewer at the end, showing the whole world that he is well and truly rattled.

I thought Fabinho was outstanding - not only was his goal incredible, but he covered so much ground all game, and his ‘tactical fouls’ are perfectly timed, and his little innocent face and pat on the refs back keeps the cards in the pocket. My only minor point would be how lenient he was on Fernandinho – if he’d rolled around after that late cynical foul then Fernandinho would’ve been booked I’m sure.

We slowed the game down and sped the game up when we wanted, and the way we rested on the ball was Barca-esque at times, which must have been doubly frustrating for Guardiola to watch. To see a team of City’s calibre panicking and hoofing the ball away as we laid siege to their goal was a joy to be watching. They were desperately flinging themselves to the ground, hounding the ref, and trying to claim a handball or any advantage they could, but none of it worked. In return, we wound them up perfectly, with Trent and Robertson giving little shoves, Fabinho knocking players off their stride, and Virgil and Lovren putting in some tough challenges on their front line. It all worked, and most of their players were seriously pissed off throughout. And then the cherry on the cake was bringing on one of their ex-players after 60 minutes to help see the game out.

We just blew them away with our energy, intensity and sheer belief. Chelsea, Leicester and others will fancy their chances against them now, and this may well be a turning point for City and Guardiola’s dominance.

We are better than them now, and they know it.

I often visit blue moon forums for shits and giggles, they have actually removed the Liverpool thread in their general football forum after tonights result.....

On that note, it's almost unbareable to read the hatred and self entitledness cunty stuff they spew on there and I can't stay for long, I actually think UTD fans have more class, though what can you expect when you have no relevant history and have had to cheat and buy league titles.

On the game today, we bossed them for most of it and were definitely worth our win, they couldn't cope and had to resort to falling over blades of grass and slight breezes to try and win free kicks as they couldnt deal with us from open play.

Great to see pep losing his shit

Look beyond the histrionics, these are good, very good, not as good as what we do, but then, we're not as good at what they do. Two contrasting styles that will clash and create all of this, but don't lose sight of how good they are and obviously, how shit hot we are.

Fantastic from us today. Bizarrely not our best performance either, looked a bit shaky at the back at times but we were far more clinical at exploiting the other side's weaknesses.

Now... the fucking handball.

What pisses me off is the hypocrisy of the media. A couple of weeks ago we had a goal scored against us by Rashford which should have been chalked off for a foul on Origi. The Sky lot, and the general media are all 'it happens, get over it.' Fast forward a few weeks and when it happens to city they're up in arms. this will be all over the media for days. lucky Liverpool and all that. Fuck off.

Secondly, it's fucking bizarre that in this whole VAR farce you can have a goal chalked off if the ball so much as grazes the arm of an attacking player in an inconsequential way, yet you can potentially win a penalty when the ball ricochets off your arm onto a defending players arm in the box?
VAR needs binning asap.

I actually rather liked how Fabinho and Fernandinho embraced after their little tangle. Clearly both Brazillian but it was nice to see friendly rivalry and mutual respect rather than the usual antagonistic crap we've become used to. Obviously they normally play a very similar role so there's some mutual understanding.

If it hit Bernardo's arm first - which it clearly, definitely did - that's the end of it. According to the new rule, any contact by the offensive player's arm is a handball. Someone a few posts up was saying something about having "some leniency on ricochets" but I don't see how that plays into this. According to the rules, Bernardo handled it, and did so first. That should be that.

I don't know mate, I was so distracted by Pep's head blowing to smithereens that I may have missed something.
