Liverpool as defensively suspect my goodness. Great win though. Man City has been figured out.

Cool down. One loss doesn't mean they've been figured out. It's Liverpool and their game style, the first leg which City won might have been close, if not for the Mane red

Liverpool's defense will always be shyt. They really need to fix that backline because they will never win the title. The best they can get with their all offense playing style maybe to win FA cup or be top 4.

Not talking about this game, but their last couple games.

Crystal Palace almost had then beat, Newcastle came close to a draw with them.

As the season continues a lot of teams will feel that they can get at them. Especially teams that have nothing to lose.

All it takes is a few draws and a loss and all of a sudden City are only 6 or 7 points above the 2nd place team.

Impressive that City couldn't string together more than 4-5 passes (due to Liverpool's pressing and disrupting) but still almost got a point out of it. Still managed 3 goals, yeah I know it's Liverpool's defense, but still impressive.

VVD in there and it doesn’t get any worse than 4-2, the calmness he’s gonna bring to the back 4 is priceless.
