Mourinho sides usually do not build from the back even when he has had ball playing CBs.
There is an aspect of build up play with the CB position. You do not have to commit like a Sarri team to build play. Sarri did not create build up play.

Looks like we've abandoned the high press, instead of letting Liverpool run in behind we're going to make them beat us. Very un-City like but meh, if we hang on I'll be happy.

Aguero would’ve missed the penalty anyway - he’s cursed at Anfield.

Not only that you have weakened your central defense now. As evidenced by what should have been a pen IMO by Lovren.
Klopp seems afraid to lose rather than going for the win. Very different attitude to the match compared to last season.

Also Salah looks like he's bricking it every time he gets the ball, every first time pass or touch misses the intended target.

Liverpool once again being fortunate with refs, will it last the whole season or just at home where refs give them the benefit of the doubt?

Garry Neville former united player (on the left) with 3 former Liverpool players on the right. Neville's showing two fingers in the photo.

Playing without pressing like crazy is just smart and not necessarily a big deal.

Every time Firmino opens his mouth is a OMG moment.

pretty soppy, but that was a penalty for me

you can't just wander up behind people & kick them

Why have Sky spent 10 minutes trying to excuse Liverpools drop in performance?

Fabinho must be fecking terrible in training. So much money spent and he barely plays
He would make more sense if they played a double pivot like Klopp did at Dortmund. But, a pure holding midfielder does not really fit in the fluid midfield 3 Liverpool are playing right now.

Another foul by Firmino - we should try to keep count of these since the referees never notice him.
