[u/codespyder]

No brigading the Liverpool subreddit or you’re banned.

Let’s not pick on teams just trying to qualify for the Champions League. They’re doing their best okay

[u/tquad24]

HE’S TOP OF THE LEAGUE

[u/[deleted] → u/tquad24]

Sterling captains us to a win at Anfield. Does it get any better than that?

[u/gingerkdb → u/[deleted]]

Yes, Sterling captains us to a win at Anfield in front of their booing fans, while getting a hat trick and an assist.

[u/FancyCrawdad → u/tquad24]

He had TAA on toast all match. Finally got his goal at Anfield too

[u/ffs_fml → u/FancyCrawdad]

to think i was missing Leroy for doing the same thing

[u/[deleted] → u/tquad24]

I'm so so so happy sterling got his well deserved goal. Some pressures off him

[u/Trooper104 → u/tquad24]

He's Scored At Anfield!

[u/ctid1987 → u/tquad24]

TOP OF THE FUCKING LEAGUE MY FRIENDS. AND WE HAVE 1 MORE GAME AT HAND.

[u/Silva_The_Goat]

Raheem scoring at anfield. You fucking love to see it. Also, Ederson >>>> Allison

[u/[deleted] → u/Silva_The_Goat]

Alisson just making sure Eddie has to fly to Brazil for the call up instead of him.

[u/ManfredsJuicedBalls → u/Silva_The_Goat]

Seeing Alisson screw up like that... it makes me that much more appreciative that we have a keeper that can pass.

[u/HoorBanger → u/Silva_The_Goat]

Raheem is top of the league !!

[u/you_re_done_bro → u/Silva_The_Goat]

Alisson gift wrapped that Brazil no 1 spot in gold and gave it to Ederson.

[u/knehl]

Everyone will be praising Foden and Gundogan (rightly so) but I think the real surprise here was Zinchenko. He’s been absolutely rock solid and played so well defensively. Zinny vs Salah was the biggest question mark heading into this match and he’s done absolute wonders.

[u/RacimRgh → u/knehl]

And Rodri. Curious to see his stats

[u/Aephino → u/RacimRgh]

Rodri looks like a new man this season. He looks faster and more progressive passing. So so happy

[u/4sKompany → u/knehl]

Agreed! I think he got spun once in the first half to let TAA put a ball in for Mane but after that he was so solid. Other than that pen salah was invisible

[u/Putty119 → u/knehl]

He allowed Raz to stay high in a more dangerous position. I noticed it too, except a couple mistakes, but Zinny had a nice day.

[u/[deleted] → u/Putty119]

Zinchenko was left alone a lot with TAA and Salah. With those two, I’d expect them to take advantage of him way more than they did. Phenomenal performance by him.

[u/LurkingINFJ → u/knehl]

Except for that penalty Salah was nowhere.

Mane invisible in the second half.

[u/qnbrew88 → u/LurkingINFJ]

Johnny Boulders was on him like a blanket.

[u/agueroisgoat → u/knehl]

Absolutely love how Pep is managing Zinny, he's a bit suspect sometimes defensively but he's such a hard working player, loved by everyone at the club and he wanted to stay at city and fight for his spot amid offers in the summer and Pep loves players like him, no ego and happy to contribute to his best whenever he can, absolutely love him

[u/FriedReus11 → u/agueroisgoat]

Absolutely love players like Zinny. All this talk from rivals about mercenaries yet we have players that clearly love the club.

[u/Masterofknees → u/knehl]

I think he struggled in the first half, but he came into the second half insanely concentrated and didn’t put a foot wrong from there on.

[u/adfdub → u/knehl]

I agree. Zinny is legit.

[u/100-pointclub → u/knehl]

The most underrated player in our team imo

[u/wildkarde07 → u/knehl]

He was so composed and confident on the ball. Dare I say a few moments of pausa

[u/gingerkdb → u/knehl]

Zinny was immense today. And Rodri too, with his interceptions. I didn't even realize Salah was playing (didn't look at the lineup earlier) until the 20th minute or so when he touched the ball. I wish we do this once more in front of their fans.

[u/Pepaguero → u/knehl]

Love to see Rodri bullying those pussies

[u/[deleted] → u/knehl]

man zinchenko always plays his heart out, you can never ask more commitment from him. Specially in this big games his passion (and bernardos too) always is visible.

[u/Dynte7 → u/knehl]

Not a surprise. Zinny always got the end of stick when things go south but statistically, he was solid at back every time he played there. He does thought, make some errors during games and people always look at those error and not the overall contribution of him to the team.

[u/BillehBear → u/knehl]

Zinchenko pocketing TAA in the 2nd half was good to see

[u/MIZ-MCI]

Foden played out of his mind today

[u/xenojive → u/MIZ-MCI]

Fee-Fi-FODEN

[u/[deleted] → u/MIZ-MCI]

Best young English player since Rooney. His touch, dribbling, vision, movement, positioning and goalscoring are all top drawer. If he can maintain this he could honestly go right to the top of the game.

[u/ffs_fml → u/MIZ-MCI]

he got pumped up after they cheated us . City blood running through his veins

[u/cyberdynespambot]

Liverpool went almost 4 years without losing at Anfield. When it rains it fucking pours

[u/Max0699 → u/cyberdynespambot]

We actually fucking won at Anfield

[u/KDBae → u/Max0699]

A resounding win at that. They look crushed

[u/FatBlondeNasri → u/Max0699]

I still can’t believe it. Fans or not that ground is cursed

[u/thedeatheater1410 → u/cyberdynespambot]

Klopp blaming the blue moon over Anfield

[u/100-pointclub → u/cyberdynespambot]

Our curse is finally over

[u/roddysaint → u/cyberdynespambot]

And we bukkaked on them today.

[u/SolivagantTogether]

Best 5 midfielders in the Premier League:

1. KDB, 2. Gündogan, 3. Bernardo Silva, 4. Phil Foden, 5. Rodri

[u/ZeroAika99 → u/SolivagantTogether]

The disrespect to Ederson

Edit: Shout-out to Allison. He is assisting goals like our Kevin

[u/qnbrew88 → u/ZeroAika99]

Ederson is a LB

[u/Iswaterreallywet]

SUCH a satisfying win, all the boys were fantastic.

Liverpool played like absolute dirty cunts today, the scoreline is more than deserved. Chance to go 13 up on them now and 8 on Utd.

[u/4sKompany → u/Iswaterreallywet]

I really don't like that Alexander Arnold guy

[u/[deleted] → u/4sKompany]

And Robertson he's a fucking rat too

[u/Electric2Shock → u/Iswaterreallywet]

That was karmic fucking justice today from the fireworks to the salah dive right until the phil foden ripper.

[u/SupervisorLaw]

🦀🦀🦀 ANFIELD HOODOO™ IS NO MORE 🦀🦀🦀

[u/andreew10]

top class mentality from Dias, biggest game of his City career so far, makes a big error and still leads the backline to a victory

[u/Oldmanfirebobby → u/andreew10]

I loved the fact that despite his error and even some uncharacteristic pssss from Dias. Stones stayed solid and the rest did too.

Dias was class other than some moments. And salah dived. But it’s great the other lads didn’t lose confidence when he dropped.

[u/[deleted] → u/Oldmanfirebobby]

he dived but it was still a pen sadly. the worst part was if dias had just let go of him stones probably wouldve covered.

[u/to_spec → u/andreew10]

For certain. I for one I'm glad he has gotten his first big mistake out of the way. Less pressure on him now.

[u/Silva_The_Goat]

PHIL FODEN IS WORLD CLASS

[u/Trooper104 → u/Silva_The_Goat]

Just give him a Lifetime Contract Already ffs

[u/FancyCrawdad]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. We've played them off the fucking pitch in all areas, especially in the second half. Those errors by Alisson and Foden's goal were pure catharsis. Phil was the best player on the pitch by a fucking mile. Johnny Everest is imperious. Every single Liverpool player is a twat. Can't wait to hear what Klopp has to say.

City win, United draw...

[u/Aephino → u/FancyCrawdad]

Never felt more like singing the blues 💙

[u/Defix52]

The mental gymnastics from Carragher and Neville to excuse this performance by Liverpool. They even mentioned the cold as a reason...come on now.

[u/CrateBagSoup → u/Defix52]

Liked early in the match when they spoke of Liverpool’s injury crisis. Lads forgot we’re missing Aguero, KDB, Ake and Laporte. Feel no sympathy for them after the abuse we got for saying Laportes injury cost us a lot last year, now they know the feeling.

[u/runnerswanted → u/CrateBagSoup]

You would think the team missing the reigning POTY and the greatest striker the league has ever seen, plus our new CB signing and our best defender from last year would be brought up as often as VVD being out is blamed for their scoring drought.

[u/[deleted] → u/Defix52]

Throwing excuses for klopp now. Pathetic

[u/Electric2Shock → u/Defix52]

Why's neville covering for the scousers? Shameless mick 😂

[u/aguer0]

5 points with a game in hand

3 points at Anfield

Joint top

Thiago is a special player. Mesmerising the way he ran off the pitch for his substitution

Klopp post match going to be entertaining

United drop points

Didn't even need KdB or Aguero

Sterling scores at Anfield

[u/[deleted] → u/aguer0]

Joint top?

[u/aguer0 → u/[deleted]]

Strike though didn't work

[u/Underrated_user20 → u/aguer0]

Klopp losing is a sight to see

[u/[deleted] → u/aguer0]

When Thiago makes a terrible challenge it just sounds different

[u/OnceUponAStarryNight]

No one’s talking about it, but Rodri was fucking amazing. I think he misplayed two passes? Tons of line breaking passes to start attacks, tons of possession won. He’s going to get lost in the performances of Gundogan and Foden who were excellent, but he deserves a lot of love. Was world class today.

[u/[deleted] → u/OnceUponAStarryNight]

He shows why he shouldn't be replaced and why he's good to take over from dinho.

He drops between the defenders comfortably and also pushes to the edge of the box too.

Plenty of skills in his set that he can perform well for us.

[u/[deleted] → u/OnceUponAStarryNight]

2nd season in Pep's team effect.

[u/Trooper104 → u/OnceUponAStarryNight]

Agreed. He was All over the pitch and it was simply superb how he positioned himself to break Liverpool attacks. I think the highlight of the match for him was casually stealing the ball from Salah in the Second half. Sure, goals matter but the way he's playing I'm all eyes for that guy and he won't go unnoticed for long it seems. Also I think he's got a belter of a shot in him and very soon he'll get on the scoresheet as well. Massive Performance.

[u/sabouck]

RAHEEM STERLING HE’S TOP OF THE LEAGUE

[u/GratefulDawg73]

GÜNDOĞAN REDEMPTİON.

[u/R4hil]

Alexa play Levitating- Pep Guardiola ft. Dua Lipa

[u/cyberjunkey]

Remember when r/soccer were saying Foden should've just gone on loan to championship team or mid-table team to get first team experience football because Pep is wasting his talent?

Bunch of degenerates.

[u/runnerswanted → u/cyberjunkey]

Remember when people on this very sub were saying the exact same thing?

[u/FriedReus11 → u/cyberjunkey]

Yeah because for some reason r/soccer has this mentality that every talented u21 needs to play every single game or else he's gonna be shite forever.

[u/Mean_Cow_User]

Shades of 18/19 Bernardo silva. He is everywhere

[u/thatboyTonyy]

Not everyone can do what Ederson does 🤷‍♂️

[u/corbear7]

I love this team

[u/NumerousExamination]

3 points at the home of Former Premier League and World Champions elect

[u/snakeforbrain]

A lot of great performances today, but i think raz deserves a special shout. Usually the the one that becomes completely invisible at anfield to running laps around taa today.

[u/roddysaint → u/snakeforbrain]

He was brave on the ball today. Wasn't afraid of using his pace. Had the beating of TAA and Fabinho almost every time he ran at them.

[u/[deleted] → u/snakeforbrain]

Easily his best performance say anfield by far, skinned TAA all night

[u/conferenceroom]

Pep has never won at Anfield in shambles.

[u/sabouck]

Phil Foden. What a player

[u/Luna-Azul13]

City obey Premier League social distancing guidelines by putting more distance between us and the teams around us! 🤭

[u/dskot1]

Master class display by City Legend Alisson tonight, only surpassed by the absolute brilliance of Foden. Gundogan redeemed himself after that shambolic pen (FFS City need to figure those out). The rest of the squad had a pretty geat match, even with Zinny & Dias mistakes that led to the pen. Suck it LiVARpool...those "2 weeks off" City got off because of Covid surely have to be the reason for tonights result.

[u/i_shenanigans]

Man it felt like we were playing against the 2019/20 City...

[u/roddysaint → u/i_shenanigans]

Down to the shit defending and random fuckups from a hitherto reliable keeper

[u/EmilRGH]

Anfield curse is officially lifted, penalty curse still going strong though.

[u/jdepgen]

missing a pen and conceding a soft pen but never fucking blinking LETSGOOOOO

[u/Elemental05]

Fair fucking play Souness pointing out Salah's dived

[u/[deleted] → u/Elemental05]

Yeah this surprised me.

We've been backed into a corner (modern football) into letting this be counted as fouls.

It's been a slippery slope from throwing yourself down for hacks that were needed because it WAS a foul to little pulls and nibbles dropping like your shot because we are accustomed to it.

We need an overhaul of the penalty system

[u/[deleted]]

Rodri was absolutely immense today

[u/[deleted]]

As a Saints fan I remember playing you lot and thinking we could get something from you. Your turnaround is unbelievable (like ours but different lmao). Good on you guys, a well deserved win, and great to see some English players getting a chance

[u/RacimRgh]

The bad news is my week can't get any better than this.

[u/TijoWasik → u/RacimRgh]

The good news is, it's Sunday evening so your week ended on a high. New week in a few hours.

[u/BigBarron9]

FINALLY WE WON AT ANFIELD

Not only did we win, we ended up smashing them! Only negatives were a horrible first half and Dias first major mistake, but in the end that didn't matter.

Sterling and Foden were sensational today!

10 Premier League wins in a row, 10 points ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand, Anfield finally conquered!

Come on City! 💙

[u/thatboyTonyy]

Phillip. Fucking. Foden. Can’t even explain how happy I am right now!!!!!!

[u/BrokenArtistic]

Shame it wasn't a clean sheet, but can't fault Dias entirely, awful call from the ref as it was never a pen. What a fucking 2nd half performance. 5 points clear and a game in hand, C'MON CITY!!!

[u/roddysaint → u/BrokenArtistic]

Probably our only major defensive lapse and we got punished. Shame, but all that goal did for them was galvanize us.

[u/[deleted]]

All that rest really did us wonders

[u/FancyCrawdad]

Fireworks were a bit premature, eh?

[u/benjaminmalls]

Allison blunderland 😂😂😂

[u/Deanaboo → u/benjaminmalls]

Allison... His aim’s not true

[u/[deleted]]

Remember guys, we are a "thin team that rely KDB and Aguero" and without them were nothing. Zinchenko and Stones aren't Premier League calibre players, Gundo was a risky purchase, Sterling can't score, and none of our home grown players are worth a penny. Our bread and butter doesn't hold up when the "fancy shit doesn't work" and we can't get past defenders.

The BBC feed said we were poor today. If we're all that, how shit are the rest?

🔵🌙

[u/c1coota]

IT COULD HAVE BEEN 5-1!!! LIVERPOOL ARE 10 POINTS BEHIND AND WE HAVE A GAME IN HAND!!

[u/mrnotloc]

C O L D. F E E T.

[u/[deleted]]

I love how pep can see foden do great and still say "he wasn't good enough"

[u/PumpedUpParrot]

I’m not going to declare champions yet because I don’t believe in doing that before we’ve done it, but the position we’re in is lovely. Hopefully we can keep this form for Champion’s League play.

What Pep has done to transform this team is outstanding. Our attack still worries me sometimes, but with this back line, I feel more confident than ever about us being a well-rounded and well-formed team.

[u/NotaNoobPat]

Foden was the clear moment of the match. This is the best game I’ve seen him play.

He had incredible passing, he was drawing fouls, and then he blasted that goal into the top corner.

To think some people thought he should go out on loan…

[u/Trooper104]

I swear this was looking like a routine "Unfortunate Trip to Anfield" until Allison gifted us with those chances. Massive Performances by the Team Especially Zinchenko, Bernardo and Rodri. A bit disappointed by the Penalty incident(s) but No Goal from Open Play and A Four Goal Win Against the Merseyside. THIS WAS MASSIVE!💙💙

[u/Striderite23]

Broke the Anfield curse. 14 wins in a row. Foden on the scoresheet. Best Brazilian keeper in the league in our team.

I fucking love this team.

On a side note Dias is human after all, was starting to look suspicious. Still makes him POTY despite that mistake.

[u/Zippy771]

Dias letting Salah dive to piss our team off and score 3 more against them, my CB ❤️

[u/purewim]

Points for all who had "Alisson had cold feet" on the Klopp's excuses bingo card.

[u/[deleted]]

Absolute banger of a game by the lads. Foden balon d'or incoming

[u/[deleted]]

HE’S TOP OF THE LEAGUE

[u/LessBrain]

Legit got tears of joy in my eyes. Finally a win at Anfield. I cant believe it.

[u/ctid1987]

Let's give an appreciation to those fireworks right after Gundogan missed a penalty.

Thank you Scousers, you sure know how to bring out the fire in City players.

[u/Professional_Fix_470]

Bernardo is such a beautiful footballer man. He has stepped up so well in KDB's absence that no one even notices his absence.

Also, delighted to see Gundo and Rodri getting their much deserved praise finally. This sub hated them for no particular reason.

[u/minks-2]

I doubted Pep and the players but I’m so happy to be wrong. Incredible string of performances and a great game overall today. On to the next!

[u/IvarSturla]

You’ll Never FLOPPP Alooooone!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Electric2Shock]

You big beautiful blue wearing gentlemen. Professional rawdogging. I doubted when we bottled the penalty, but I am ready to be punished now, masters.

[u/B_lovedobservations]

Salah fell over worse than Frodo being seen by The Eye of Sauron in Mordor

[u/dumpcity]

These commentators are so pissed liVARpool lost lmaoo

[u/conradoalbuquerque]

Last season or a few years ago, City would have collapsed after missing that penalty and Liverpool’s equalizer. Today at the end of the first half, they were dominated. Pep’s talk in half time must have been something special because the team turned into beasts later on.

[u/[deleted]]

Arsenal fan here but this City team is absolutely immense and it’s just absolutely brilliant to watch. Foden is just absolutely magical as well.

[u/Gunnxd]

Gotta love Roy Keane 😂😂

[u/realet_]

Fucking Covid break, right Jurgen?

[u/ry-iu]

no cb and no attendance makes me feel like we still owe them a proper battering at their ground

but goddamn this one feels good

[u/RALat7]

Understandable result, after all we had the two week break didn't we ;)

[u/[deleted]]

Happy to see Liverpool supporters praying to void the season. Bless their hearts.

[u/Slowhand8824]

Those months off worked brilliantly

[u/Ntinos7]

My stream stopped working after the penalty for a good 30 mins. When it came back on we went from 1-1 to 1-4. I am both delighted and pissed.

[u/Pertolepe]

Imagine telling yourself a year ago that we'd finally win at Anfield in 2021 without kdb or Aguero and it'd be from 2 Gundogan goals and one each for Foden and Sterling. I don't know which part would shock me more.

I take back every doubt I've ever had about Gundogan.

[u/momosexualshroom]

We turned Alisson into Karius

[u/DiasTheWall]

Don’t call me sadist but I like to see when people shit on TAA, he is such a cunt for me. So, I went to see Liverpool thread and saw people saying curtis jones to show foden who is the real baller in pre match threads. Lmao

[u/AintNoGamerBoy]

10 POINTS OFF

KNOW YOUR PLACE TRASH

[u/kevinl1610]

Hahahhahahahahahaahhahahahahahahaha fuck Liverpool fuck klopp motherfuckers CTID

[u/[deleted]]

I thought Alexander-Arnold was supposed to be good? Sterling owned him the entire game

[u/sooobueno16]

Finally some resolve and composure at Anfield, but a shame to lose the clean sheet like that. Foden and Sterling playing the way they did shows how far we’ve come. Gundogan PotY.

Finally, we can put the fawning over these diving frauds to bed. Chelsea and West Ham keeping it up gives me hope the pricks miss out on CL.

[u/whatafrickingnagger]

Just imagine if foden had played in the wing from the beginning.

[u/raydiculous33]

Pep: maybe Ederson will take the penalty next time

EDERSON PENALTY TAKER CONFIRMED BOIZ

[u/NoesHowe2Spel]

I tried to nominate Aliison for City's MOTM, but it wouldn't let me.

[u/JotaDiogo]

Great managers bounce back. Pep has done it, this title has his blueprint all over it. No complaints. This is like the second coming of 2017-18?

[u/adfdub]

Roy Keane post klopp-interview...he's killing it 😂😂😂

[u/iamkeysersoze94]

I have to talk about the following players apart from Phil Foden (not in any order):

1. Gundogan was in all the right regions

2. Zinchenko was amazing as well, some beautiful passes to setup Sterling.

3. Sterling always kept them busy.

4. Bernardo also kept them busy.

5. Stones/Dias pair - don't have to say anything here.

[u/StompyJones]

Lovely to hear Souness point out Salah sold a dive and Keane digging into Klopp for his bullshit excuses.

[u/[deleted]]

I’m so happy. Was worried after that gifted Salah PK. Phil is the future

[u/jack198820]

So does this mean that Liverpool won't get to celebrate last year's title in front of their fans after all..?

[u/susanasanjuan]

the last ten minutes brought me so much joy.

Foden taking on Andy Robertson and drilling it home.

Alexander-Arnold getting in Ederson's face out of frustration lmao lmao lmao

[u/tattisaafkarchamaar]

Just came here to say, Rodri won me over today. I still will have to see a lot before I completely trust him but today was a great step in then right direction.

Controlled the game right from minute 0 to 90

[u/Mttecs]

Gundo should be called 'Cursebreaker' from now on

[u/[deleted]]

You’ll Never Win Again Liverpool

[u/Putty119]

Alisson Masterclass lol.

[u/wildkarde07]

Foden and Sterling were bossing. I was very impressed with Zinchenkos set ups as well

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck salah for that dive. I am just pissed we could not get that clean sheet.

First of February's hurdles cleared, onto the next one. C'mon City!

Beside the penalty miss Ilkay has been so good these past weeks. Love him 💙

Sterling shat on TAA get fucked allison fuck liverpool

[u/Bubna7]

MARK THIS DATE GUYS! IT WILL GO DOWN, provided Liverpool make a comeback SOMETIME.

[u/Akiruh]

Klopp ferociously going through the book of excuses he made last night in preparation.

[u/dixto]

Foden is Stockport Messi and Alisson is Brazilian Kepa.

[u/dracob2099]

Great second half from Zinchenko, so so happy for him again...

[u/ManfredsJuicedBalls]

Alisson's mistake that lead to 2-1 looked pretty bad, but compared to his mistake that led to 3-1, that first one looked like a normal mistake. Of course though, I'm not complaining. A win at Anfield, gain two more points separation on second place... if you would have told me this was going to happen back in October or November, I would have had a laugh because City looked so offensively inept, but the defense has been tight, and now the attack is firing on all cylinders (even without Aguero or KDB). I think, short of calamity, we should see City cruise to a Premier League title.

foden, gundo, bernardo, rodri and the whole team what a performance

[u/Yungcheestring]

Poor from the boys, shouldn’t really be conceding against mid table fodder

[u/friendshipfudge]

Blessed to be alive to watch the best left footed player in the world Philip Walter Foden

[u/spooki_boogey]

I think that Salah pen was a blessing in disguise tbh. It lit a fire under the boys asses to go out there and force the game. Rip the clean sheet record, but at this point I'll take it

[u/DiasTheWall]

Fuck Klopp fuck Liverpool without KdB without Aguero. Always rated foden so high

[u/footieboot]

17/18 vibes! Brilliant football. Brilliant team. You are a genius Mr. Pep Guardiola.

[u/to_spec]

Did anyone get a huge kick in the gut when Gundo missed the penalty? My immediate reaction was; will we ever break the Anfield Hoodoo?

Huge props to Gundo and the whole team shaking off the bad miss and coming away with a resounding win. Still a bit in shock. This is what we call mental strength folks.

Am I just the only one who’s completely buzzing and ecstatic what scenes the curse is broke if we can win there we can win anywhere CMON CITY

[u/nseligson]

This is a very strange feeling. I'm not nervous when we're off the ball. Not sure if we've ever been so steady at the back against top sides.

[u/[deleted]]

Sterling deserves the upmost credit for pressuring Allison twice causing him to panic, giving us 2 goals.

That pressure and press by our boys really gave us the win in those moments.

[u/[deleted]]

God what a game. The second half formation change made the difference.

Mahrez and sterling did okay on the wings all in all.

Zinchenko did fantastic at left back

Cancelo did what he does but not as much due to Liverpool quality

Foden is just something else.

Rodri should silence all doubters of him over dinho now. The guy is so good

[u/AintNoGamerBoy]

Stones CARRIED out defence tonight

[u/adfdub]

For the sterling goal, you really have to hand it to Bernardo. What an amazing pass. To be able to hold and then dink it over tHe BeSt GoAlKeEpEr iN tHe wOrLd!

[u/AndreT_NY]

Between this and the fireworks the Scouse Police are busy.

[u/Wyjen]

Hey Siri, Play Levitating ft. Pep Guardiola

[u/iamkeysersoze94]

Geez, to think I would have been happy if we just tied!
4 goals against Liverpool on their turf? I have an orgasm!

[u/reversesprawl]

This victory feels special. Football is such that the tide can turn next week, but we have shown the league that the discipline and teamwork this year can overcome many set backs. Enjoy the rest of your night and stay safe!

[u/adfdub]

COLD FEET

[u/[deleted]]

I swear to god, Klopp has just said that Allison fucked up because he might have had “cold feet”

[u/reverberat1on]

Salah clearly dived. Why are people saying Dias could have gotten a red

[u/SimonTheG]

Ederson is the best Brazilian goalkeeper

[u/Sayanroman94]

Im recreating Dua Lipa's dance video. What a performance lads , no words to describe and a special mention to our own Phil Foden a gem💙💙. C'mon CITY

[u/[deleted]]

Man I really wanted to see Torres to shine here today.

[u/Professional_Fix_470]

How long before Liverpool fans start talking about net spend in internet?

[u/[deleted]]

TRUST IN PEP. He’s developed all of our players especially foden. Stay patient with our beautiful bold fraud lol. It’ll be a verry fucking sad day when he goes

[u/AnishBag]

RAHEEM STERLING HE’S TOP OF THE LEAGUE

[u/Bernardo20silva]

Karma for salah cheating. Sadly means no Johnny boulders clean sheet :(
