Disappointed we never won but I thought overall we played well.

Lallana's miss was shocking.

Sums it up well - two teams going for the win with some great attacking moves ruined by poor finishing - Lallanas was shocking. Going to be a great finish to the season

What's most annoying is We had a chance to kill that game off when they were struggling and never took it.

I thought Can was excellent, possibly his best game he's had but Gini should've been motm. He was superb in the middle of the park.

Well am back from the game and to say it was an odd un is a massive understatement. Just had a look on BBC sport and they were raving about it. Maybe as a neutral it was fantastic. But as a City or Liverpool fan, it was 90 mins of frustration. Some world class footballers combined classy football with Sunday league bloopers. Some of the passing, shooting, defending, tackling etc was woeful. Most players contributed to that, none more than YaYa, who proved today he was not worthy of a new contract. His Agent said he could go to Utd. God I hope so.
For two teams in the top four, the technical side of the game was poor.
City were 7/10 at best but Liverpool. I have never seen as many long balls/ route one played by any team all year. You would of thought Fat Sam was the manager. Are Liverpool like that every game or was it a tactic.
Mane, he looks a class act, a real class act. Cannot see how Sturridge would ever get in that team.
as has been said, think the top two are now decided with City Liverpool and the rags fighting for the other two spots.

I can't remember many long balls but with your dodgy defence I'd say it was a tactic:D

Sturridge won't get in tha side because he's never fit.

Do you think they could have gone long to miss your midfield? Not being sarky, genuine question. I was at Liverpool v Arsenal the other week and everything went on the floor through the midfield.

Interesting how the view from someone at the game is different from someone who (I presume) was watching it on TV and commenting. I followed the game via BBC live text updates and they were raving about Yaya running the game in the first half. They did say he looked knackered just before he was taken off but up until then it seemed as though he was one of the best players on the pitch - I am just basing that on the live text as I didn't see any of the game.

That is what I was wondering, it was mainly in the first half. The second half Liverpool played some good flowing football through the same midfield. I certainly saw enough to not get on Klopps back. As much as it was a scrappy game. I thought it was the best game I have seen from a City keeper this year.

Sat in family section with young Bradley Tash. A guy shouts " You F*****g ****", young Bradley says to Nanna Tash " Nanna your not allowed to say f*****g, it's a naughty word". Five mins later a bloke shouts " you bloody great Poof" Young Bradley says " Poofs another naughty word Nanna". He is four

His energy levels have gone and his tackle that got him a booking could of been red. At times the game just went around him.

On the plus side good to see him have a firm grasp on right and wrong. You should have let him tell the bloke he was naughty!

Am as deaf as a post Homer and it was Missis T that told me. Her shoulders were goin like the clappers. Not only does he know right from wrong, he knows how to shovel pop, chips, lollies, love hearts, kinder chocolate and Haribos down his throat plus mints on the way home.

Bet he's fun trying to get to bed with all that in him. Sad how idiots like that are allowed into family sections and the stewards do nothing about it

I forgot about that tackle. They did say that it could/should have been a red. But apart from that it was all positive about him.

When I talk to a pal about City he won't have a bad word said about him. He reckons that YaYa dragged City over the line to two titles, plus scored the winner v the rags in a FA semi final at Wembley. He reckons fans have short memories when it comes to YaYa. Even he thinks YaYa is well past his best. but he is not the only one

I only saw the second half on tv and can't remember any long balls from LPool apart from a couple of clearances from the back, they were breaking up your attacks and playing out along the floor 99% of the time.

Was fun for a nuetral and either team could feel they had dropped 2 points or gained 1 at the end.

Klopp gave a very fair honest interview after the match, good to see the honesty.

A very nervous frustrating game some really good football from both teams .
Some shocking finishing .
Sterling had one of his Harry Kewell games (eh Tash)
his and Llalanas misses were abysmal.
Keepers played well.
Best game from Can not my favourite.
mane and Aguero awesome.
Toure should have been red!
fair result but could have been 5-5.

Forgot to say, when nana showed him the score behind us, he saw Liverpool and said the double OO in Liverpool is from the "Mysterons" in Captain Scarlet. Does that mean Liverpool are from the dark side?

When I was at Anfield the other week there was a nutter in the row behind who swore and abused Arsenal for 90 minutes. It was non stop swearing. Even the other fans were bored of him. He was the worse I have come across but most grounds have people swearing on a pretty constant basis. Question, what is the point of the stewards? What are they paid for? Why aren't they going to these people and asking them to stop or leave? It annoys me.
