Liking that line up.

Fucking massive game 👊

[KunDB]

This game will help this team develop, and it is lovely to see Pep having settled in a first 11. Just wasn't the case last season, allowed stability and consistency.

Expecting a good performance from the team, win, lose or draw.

C'mon City

[KunDB]

Sublime.

A first half annihilation.

[reddishblue]

Good 1st half for VAR

[gavin]

If you miss a penalty then you need to score and Erling did it. But his penalty record isn't good. Maybe someone else should take them. His header seemed to go in in slow motion. Lovely though. We could bury these second half but the focus needs to be on staying tight.

[reddishblue]

The positional interchanges were a joy. Everybody everywhere wanting the ball.

Nico O'Reilly gets better and better. Controlled Salah all game.

[KunDB]

I have no criticism of any of our players today, they all played well or exceptionally well.

Nico (both) brilliant today
Doku a world class performance
Silva unbelievably good
Dias wonderful
Everyone really good today

Liverpool were outclassed and isolated.

Thanks City for a wonderful memory to add to so many.

It's always great to beat the Scousers. To do it three nil is a classic. They didn't look a good side at all. Doku was fantastic. Two players on him and he went between them. Then that goal, awesome. It was very disappointing when he was taken off. But another great day, thanks 1000 times Pep.

[Stephen Paul]

The dippers outclassed by Pep

400 million spent and looking like a pub team

[gavin]

Never mind, when they hand the Trophy back at the end of the season, they will still be the champion whingers.
