I don’t agree with the away goal rule, but it’s existence makes me think city have little chance. Great result for Liverpool.

2 very different halves...

Great that no away goal was conceded 

smashing result

twill be interesting next week 

If Liverpool get the away goal that will seal it you would imagine.

Great result tonight. 

Slough bagging 4 away at Froome.

Trying to decide what to stick my free £25 bet on. Quite like the look of over 4 goals.

Done your dough...

Just got back from Anfield. Best atmosphere there since 2005 (although Dortmund was lively!). Liverpool showed two different sides, attacking first and then resilience second. Couple of calls looked tight but I'd need to see them back.

It's far from over but it will be a good second leg next week.

Surprising result, not us getting 3, them not scoring. Made up.

Has anyone checked on Easty?

Looks like all 4 ties are at game over. 

Great night for Liverpool. Fantastic in first half.

Some people have brought up Barca coming back from 4-0 against PSG. I just don’t think City are at the same level.

Bet City would of loved VAR last night.

Klopp has Guardiolas number. 

Shoudnt be surprised about last night. City are a hollow club with no pedigree. Ground will be full for Utd at the weekend and LFC next week and then empty again for 12 months.

Theyll be back calling around local schools on match day and begging them to take free tickets. If it wasnt for some bloke from the UAE theyd still be losing 8-1 to Middlesborough. 

New money. Theyre the Kardashians of football.

Massive clean sheet for Liverpool and tbh I didn't think they had it in them! Fair play. City need to do the same to have any chance of progression but I fancy Liverpool to nick an all important goal. Wouldn't bet against City though!

What's a hollow club? Are teams with more fans more deserving?

That's what a lot of fans (not all) of bigger clubs think unfortunately

I wish we were still getting 35k week in week out and not 57k...

City will be wanting to make an example of the next team they play

 

Poor Utd.

Wasn't Pep's plan to rest some of the 'big names' if you can say that...

[Gnomicide]

I think City will rest plenty for their derby, I know they can win the league at the weekend but oddly there's less riding on it for them than there is for Liverpool. 

Not so sure on what Klopp will do at the weekend. City have the title in the bag, Liverpool need to maintain that gap over Chelsea. We've still got to play them before the season's over, don't want to be going into that game with them being able to catch us.

[vintagelaureate]

I think that's why Firmino went off last night. Probably see Ings come in for Salah too, possibly Solanke from the start. I'd expect Gini to start away next week... might see Masterson come in for Lovren as he struggles to play two games close together.

Well we got knocked back down to earth with a massive bang. From the off it was an absolute disaster. Everything that could go wrong, did. City players never showed up, the manager got it totally wrong. The officiating was piss poor. 

As for the fans. They are the vilest bunch of c**t5 you could ever meet. You would think after being involved in 2 incidents where football fans have died, the fuckers would know how to behave. The fact that the football club and police were complicit in it is absolutely astounding.

Not over yet. City's turn to go all guns blazing next week. Just hope the City fans do not sink to the Scousers levels.

I am not the one stood in a line throwing missiles at coaches. You do not behave like that at a football match as people can get hurt. Considering everything the Scousers have been involved in, they should know better than anyone. I was not part of a baying mob last night, behaving like a nenderthal. 

I am not invoking Hillsborough in any way. What happened there was an absolute tragedy and all blame is directly apportioned to the disgraceful behaviour of the police. Yet Liverpool fans kmow better than anyone else about how things can go wrong at a football match. Last night was disgusting. 2 police officers were left injured last night after being hit with missiles. That's not sport. That's just utter scum behaving like thugs.
