It's alright, king Scott is here to save City.
I think he's just writing places in his home town.

I don't know why people are surprised by the result, Liverpool always get up for the big games it's the West Broms and Stokes they need to worry about.
That was an individual error and nothing else. He had a fantastic game otherwise, but no one would have complained if he had just hoofed it away there. Completely unnecessary back pass.

i'm hoping west brom doesn't spell a pattern. i know it's easier said than done but we seriously need to approach every game like we did today. you only start to approach the title when you have consistency.
I always have confidence in United to get the points. Will just be very fired up that day, and a nervous wreck.
Hopefully they gift us 2 goals though.

Liverpool got the moral victory. City with a hit and run job there. Really fun game to watch
Still looks miles better than their away kit.
It was a good game, but a real shame that Kelly and Skrtel made those mistakes and Lucas got injured. I still think we at times do not have enough people in attack. other than that, we looked really solid.
What I liked is that our young players looked competitive and weren't outplayed.

Looks like a belly shirt designed for Anderson and Rooney.

lol @ PSG
I would've taken a draw before the game but that doesn't make it any less painful.
In fairness, whilst we weren't gifted a goal, I think the Rodwell free kick was immensely harsh on City. It was similar to the penalty at Anfield in the Carling Cup, ricochet off the knee and up onto the arms, which I don't think were in a particularly unusual position.
Still, thought we were the better team today, and really deserved more than a point.
Happy about the performance though, and i'm sure there'll be a positive attitude going into the Arsenal game. Loved Allen as well.

The midfield was exceptional, wasn't it? Absolute control through the middle three, and almost never let City past them.
We still need work up front. That hasn't changed, and Suarez, despite being overall quite threatening and scoring a perfect free kick, didn't do enough as a striker.
That said, lots of positives to take, for a team to play in this new system against the champions so early is very difficult but they played their hearts out and put on a fantastic show.
Should have been 2-1. Should have been 2-0, really
Just telling it like it is.
The fact that they could only win the league on goal difference whilst having more incorrect decisions go their way then Manchester United and then on top of that they also had the least amount injuries in the entire league whilst United had the most.
Hollow win.

He's looking exceptionally trim though, you never know.

Something that stood out was the number of times we had chances to make chances, and slightly mishit the ball or lingered a bit, losing the chance.
Probably for one of his kids. About the same size I imagine.
I disliked this jersey a lot when I first saw it but I love it now that I've seen it in action. Getting one with either the Kag or RvP
Gary Neville right on the mark again, this time re: Andy Carroll.
The United kit doesn't look bad from really far away. The shape of the collar and the contrast with the jersey color is really nice IMO. It's when you get close enough to see the actual pattern and it looks terrible.

Yeah i know City fans don't care.
? The line-up or what?
What did Neville say?

I think Liverpool will be much more ruthless under Rodgers than they were under Dalgish, Woy or even Benitez.
Arsenal have been quite unimpressive. I would think a win is very achievable for Pool.
Do you all think Sahin will jump into the starting eleven immediately?

I don't think any other fans not wearing tableclothes care either, so take your bitterness and trundle off home, kid.

How do arrive at that conclusion? Blind faith?
Before the match I would have leaped at a draw with City. Now after watching the match....
Glad to see we have opened our goal scoring account, especially with Suarez scoring. He can put away the spectacular shots, but not the simple ones...very frustrating. Would have liked to see us score from open play rather than set-pieces.
Sterling looked good, but I don't think he will start every match. Good not to see Downing play again. Hard to judge Borini still. Out on the wing is clearly not his position, he needs to be in the centre. I still advocate swapping Borini and Suarez positions, or a change to our formation allowing two strikers up front. Carroll looked decent as well when he came on.
Allen is a midfield boss.

Just said that Andy Carroll has every right to want to fight for his place at Liverpool and if we're going to get rid of him we better have another striker coming in, because putting a 21 year old who is fresh to the league (Borini) and Andy Carroll is basically our best option by default.

Nice fk by Suarez. Too bad about Skrtel's brain fart
