Our midfield were outstanding today.

Overall it was an immense performance

As usual we were excellent going forwards but very suspect defensively.

Would have been interesting to see what would have been different if VvD would have played, I think he would have controlled the pace and tempo of the game better and keeping the defence focused, especially at the end when we conceded the 2 late goals.

I am really, really pleased to see us hold on in the end.

Robertson MOM for me, to watch him harrying the City players in possession was a joy to behold. When he went down the left in the 2nd half chasing the ball and then cutting right across the pitch and even to their Goalkeeper, he was like a man possessed!
Also have to give a special mention to OX he has proved me wrong and I am really happy to say that, he was immense today also and topped it off with another goal. It's looking like he can contribute to our goal tally much like Mane and I'd even go to say he'll get 10+ goals this season.

The Goalkeeping situation I did think we could probably stick it out until the summer but it's a huge concern and if Klopp has someone in mind he needs to accelerate his plans and bring them in now. If we have to spend 50 to 60 or even 70m on a TC GoalKeeper so be it, I'd rather that was addressed than any other position in this window. Test Atl Madrid's resolve for Oblak and see if they'll bite, if not go get Butland.

After a few twitches towards the end of the 94, my bladder is now at peace with the werld.

I'm made up for him.
He must have been wondering why he'd signed for us just a couple of months ago.

Both Mo and Can weere playing with a temperature.

But despite that we could all see what happened as soon as Milner came on for Can. No more power left.

That's how hollow our defensive side of the midfield is. We only have Can who can do a proper job there!

It's games like that today against the best out there, really should be standing us in great stead for bringing TC players in.
If a Goretska or a Lemar where having 2nd thoughts about coming to us then that game should really ought to change their minds.
City have been the best team arguably around europe this year and we made them look far from invincible. There really should be no excuses bringing quality players in now the way we play and having Klopp as Manager. I don't expect us to sp..unk City or Chelsea money around in the quantities that they do, but I do expect us to compete in bringing in the select, exceptional quality in, that suits our needs for progression and not anymore "make do" signings!

3:25 minutes in a Manc fan or reporter asks a bizarre question:

"Jurgen, What's Your Favourite Cake"?

Jurgen replies: "Strawberry"

Then the Manc says something about custard??? very hard to hear because another reporter starts asking a question at the time!
Can anybody hear exactly what that Guy says???
