Doesn't Ox have the same agent? I wonder how we dealt with him when we sighed him.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

I'm just thinking about how mental it is when United or City start singing about us as soon as they take the lead. Would dread for us to end up like that, to care so little about your own team that your more concerned about insulting another team.

Well we don't do that Soooooooo ?

[PhaseOfPlay]

Don't know, but he acted the goat when Ox transferred to us:

And it now looks like the deal has been completed judging by a post uploaded on Instagram by Colossal Sports Management, the agency which looks after Oxlade-Chamberlain.

They posted a picture of the Liverpool crest along with the caption 'DEAL AGREED!!!! It was soon removed from the account, however.

He was always a twat as far as I remember and I hope that we never have to deal with him. He's more appalling than Mino fucking Raiola.

How on earth did De Bruyne get MOTM? He had a decent game especially in the first half but Salah had a much better game.

We were by far the better team in the 2nd half and created much more chances.

The thing that summed City up for me were two incidents. Jesus went down and we played the ball out. Origi was hacked down and stayed down; City played on and nearly scored.

I’m happy with our performance but our finishing needs to improve.

Because Hoddle was a midfielder

I think that Sky go for a MOTM from the winning team, but they are ridiculous. Look at their player ratings, you'd think City played us out of the park...

[Perham]

Loads of posters on blue moon were dumbfounded as to why pool fans were booing the national anthem. The sheer level of stupidity in this country constantly astounds me.

It's strange. I always thought of Manchester as a really left wing city but it seems that most of blue moon are tories from what they were saying about it. It's a good reminder that forums like that aren't necessarily representative of the fanbase as whole.

1) It was on BT
2) He was named MOTM before the final whistle.

Never mind then. I just got pissed looking at the Sky ratings...

[In the Name of Klopp]

Fuck you. After all he done against this club (Sterling)... you find an excuse for the c*nt (cos he shares a few pics with a fans)? He alienated himself from this club more than one occasion yet here we're. Fuck this!

Hoddle said it was because he'd come back from injury. Literally, it's the reason he gave on commentary.

"and because I was a midfielder"

Probably still fuming from Madrid, where Tottenham were by far the better team remember

[Jookie]

Missed the match. Out of curiousity, did their fans spend the whole game singing about us yet again? Or have they dropped their weird, shit rip-off of Allez Allez yet?

They were really quiet.

In and around the ground it seemed like we outnumbered them significantly. To be fair there was a lot less spaces in their end than I expected.

Hardly heard a peep out of them during the 90. Not sure if that’s because they were quiet or the sound didn’t carry.

Our end was quite subdued 1st half bar the national anthem. Last 20-30 our end was loud for a neutral end

[MNAA]

Bernardo Silva quickly becoming one of the biggest c*nts in the PL

Quickly becoming? Always has always been. The face that you want to smack if you can. Pleased to see Robbo giving him the Messi treatment. Would have love to have someone like Souness or Tommy Smith to send the “message” to all the City c**ts

[MNAA]

So underappreciated by some fans..

Agree. Guardiola shat in his pants after that. He was lucky that Klopp pulled Hendo away

Raheem Sterling’s agent says his client would have shone under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool

Who the fuck cares? Anyone leaving Liverpool for City - we should have no time for them

The issue was with Rodgers, not the club.

[xbugawugax]

rather placid 1st half but turned in on in the 2nd.

not sure that was the plan. 

Looking at our midfield, its going to be pretty stacked full of options if every one stays fit. Hendo, Gini, Fab, Keita, Milly, Ox, Shaq and Lall.

Salah and Bobby look really sharp despite just coming back. And Mane also yet to return.

Season proper starts next week and hopefully 3 points.

[RayPhilAlan]

Guardiola was probably pretty exhausted by that point. Sure I saw him playing right back for City today.

[ThePoolMan]

I always thought that Rodgers' self aggrandizing dressing down of Sterling  when he must have known they were being videoed always marked out how he was unsuitable to be manager for Liverpool. Klopp would never have done that.

You think he wouldn't have done the same without the cameras, though?

I think his response was wholly appropriate and typical of a coach not brooking any interruption during a team talk. It's certainly not the worst exchange I've ever seen.

[Mighty Zeus]

I missed the game... at what point did this happen and why? Other than the obvious 'Guardiola is a twat'.

[Bolrick]

Wow that was surprising. We really played man city off the park in the 2nd half. We look ready for the season (if we do to teams what we did in the 2nd half).

Salah should have really scored against the hologram claudio but you know what ? i prefer our 1st trophy of the season to be european.

So european super cup.....here we come.

[Snoopy29]

Salah couldn't finish, everyone was misdirecting  the ball, it kept going wide of the keepers left.
If only we were more clinical up front.

[Carra-ton]

No issue with Sterling. He had issues between his agent and Rodgers. But, he has always been respectful of the club everytime I have heard him speak.

[UntouchableLuis]

It happens sometimes - A bit more sharpness and we'd have won by a few goals. I think it shows what we all know - City can be got at - especially when their players start to tire in the second half - the problem last season was not many teams had a go against them and tried to grind them down. City will make mistakes when you press them eventually but how many teams are willing to commit men forward?

Side effects include alopecia

Thought that was from the steroids?

[daggerdoo]

Not too fussed about the result. All I wanted to see was the true reds turn up, and we did second half. Would play them again this Wednesday if we could and I would be more than confident of getting the result. Excluding the pens, we finished the game so much stronger than them so I'm happy.

[clinical]

So underappreciated by some fans..

I look a Pep and just see Kyle Walker now and vice versa. Thought Pep full kit wanker ran on the pitch to clear Salah's header off the line.

[Buck Pete]

The Raheem Sterling PR team earning their dollars again I see.

[SMASHerano]

I thought that was a positive sign for us. We've played really well against our biggest competitor for the title and should've won.

[Brain Potter]

Very happy after the 2nd half yesterday. We were much better. Don’t really care we lost on penalties as it isn’t of any consequence. Set up well for Friday. It was a good day out.

[PoetryInMotion]

Good one, gone under the radar..

[SerbianScouser]

This is the best Liverpool team/squad I've seen during my lifetime.

They are maniacs when it comes to competing.

I can see us pushing for the double again and wouldn't be surprised at all if we make it this time.

[will2003]

No issue with Sterling. He had issues between his agent and Rodgers. But, he has always been respectful of the club everytime I have heard him speak.

Did a good article in GQ where he was very respectful and more glowing about his time with us than his time at city

[groove]

Did anyone see any xG figures for the game?

[alonsoisared]

Agree with most of that. Sterling deserves a bit more credit though - he’s a really good player. And he’s being really clever going on the charm offensive with Liverpool supporters, taking pics and shit. It’s clearly a conscious move so that he gets less aggro from supporters in games against us. Give it up Raz - we know your game you little rat

Can’t believe it all starts this fri ... wouldn’t have minded an extra week away from it all. Definitely too much football these days

youre probably right mate. I do feel like I'm missing something when I watch him, I just can't believe that one of their key attacking players can still be so utterly awful when through on goal. You look at the likes of Sane and Silva who he's kept out of the team at different points and technically they both look miles ahead of him.

Sterling is a well better player than Sane. Technically Sane might be better but as all round packages you'd easily have Sterling ahead of him. Tactically he is well better than Sane. Tenacity and will to win he's well better than Sane. Defensively he works so much harder than Sane. That's the reason Sane doesn't get picked regularly by any manager and why Sterling does. Sane is a 80-100M player because of his technical ability and promise that he'll add the other components to his game . Sterling would be 200M on the open market because he's all round better and more productive player.

To be honest I think Sterling and Bernardo Silva are City's best players. Them 2 are at the level of Mane and Salah. The likes of Mahrez, Sane, Jesus aren't. Leroy Sane is probably in the 3 most talented players in City's squad. But as an all round player he'd be lucky to make Top 10 in their squad.

[Jookie]

Their masters have bought off lady luck as well

This sounds like something The Ev would say about us having a 'pact with the devil'
