To go away to Norway and win there on a Thursday night against a team that never loses on a shit artificial pitch, then to travel home Friday before travelling up to Leeds with no time for preperation and win there is a great effort. Terrible second half today - like the worst I have seen in a loooong time, but Leeds were impressive, well rested and full of energy. I can see why they stuffed Chelsea 3-0.

That was the first game we actually deserved to lose this season, and we got lucky, but I will take it as the opposite will happen at some point.

As a side note, that game shows why a team in the Europa league just can't compete at the top end, it is a killer for energy and key preperation time.

Why does Tyler feel the need to editorialise in matches now. You’re the play by play not the colour.

Foden should’ve shot with his right

It's great that Elliott can have starter minutes at such a young age, but I'm not sure what is he supposed to be good at?

So City bring their A game against us, yet can't be bothered trying against Liverpool?
Well Liverpool are a much better team than us so there's that too. How many spankings have City handed out to Liverpool in recent years? Were so used to it we crumble as soon as we concede the first.

As good as Halaand is, KDB is the best player in the league. Probably the world.

The opposition generally define how well a team plays !!!
Man C are playing the same but the quality of the opposition is very different.
They’re not playing the same at all. They missed easier chances today than they scored against us. The difference is finishing

I was surprised Arteta didn't start Viera instead of Odegaard.

It just feels like there's something about Anfield that gets to City mentally. Even when they're far superior to this Liverpool team, they just don't seem to show it here.

I’d sub Firmino off for Nunez at HT. This game is passing him by.

Really good pace to the game. City should attack Milner more.
