(The Guardian) 33 min Klopp will fancy his side to score again, but might be alarmed at their lack of midfield control. Though he was involved in the goal, the game is largely passing Thiago by, because at this level, he’s maybe a player for City’s style, not Liverpool’s – though I know its evolved since he replaced Wijnaldum.

Sonuva..... (The Guardian) 35 min Meantime, here come City again, Laporte offered time to pick out Cancelo down the left as Alexander-Arnold dreams of tangerine trees and marmalade skies. He nips inside and wellies a shot, but it’s deflects into the near-post side-netting, then the corner comes to nowt. 36 min City look poised to score again, Rodri picking up Robertson’s weak clearing header and knocking off for De Bruyne, who squares into a decent area. He knows there’s no one there, but he knows the defenders can’t be sure of that, and sure enough, it yields a corner. GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 Liverpool (Jesus 37)City have earnt that! The corner is headed clear, but only as far as Cancelo, who shifts his weight inside to open up the pitch and drills a gorgeous, flat diag that catches Liverpool stepping up as Jesus sneaks in behind. He might snatch at the chance, but instead leaps, allows the ball to hit the inside of his foot, and that’s a much harder finish than it looked.

(The Guardian) 39 min I said just before that Thiago is barely taking part, but what’s also significant is that Henderson isn’t what he was. When this side was at its best, Liverpool would trample their opponents into the turn, but they’ve not quite got that in them these days.
40 min Bernardo trips Robertson and is booked.
41 min So far, on the other hand, Guardiola has got his tactics absolutely bang-on. His defensive midfielders are doing an OK shielding job, and his attackers are picking holes in Liverpool’s defence at will.

(The Guardian) 43 min Foden, who’s been quiet, turns up down the left and whips in a nasty low cross, but before it can reach Sterling, Robertson slides in. He doesn’t get the ball, but him being there prevents yerman from seeing the flight – though if he’d gambled, he might’ve got to it

(The Guardian) Half-time email: “How was Mane not offside for the equaliser?” wonders Norrie Hernon. “He’s yards off, but it’s not called because it’s headed away – which leads to the equaliser. If the defender risks leaving it, then it goes to Mane and he’s flagged - but the defender has to take the risk, which doesn’t seem fair. It’s a gaping hole in that law. Surprised the Sunaks haven’t taken advantage….” As long as I can remember, Norrie, the offside rule applies if the player scoring had the offside advantage; since it was Jota who scored and not Mane, the rule doesn't apply. Could City have objected? Sure. Would it have been overturned? Probably not.
