(The Guardian) “You picked on Henderson not having a great game,” says Yash Gupta. “He didn’t have a good one last time these two faced. Unnecessarily pushing forward and conceding a hell of a lot of space for Foden, Cancelo to operate in. I think the best decision for Pep has been no Ruben Dias. It was a forced one. But Stones on the right works better with Laporte than Dias, and Sadio Mane found that. Though other Diaz is on the bench.” I just don’t think Henderson has the gas he once did, and he also plays alongside Thiago, not Wijnaldum. Against most sides that doesn’t matter, but City are good enough to make that difference count.
“You are right about Thiago,” says Rick Harris, “and I wonder if Klopp will go to a three and bring Gomez on and push the full backs up as Robertson is being given a torrid time too. Great game. Got to be more goals in this!” I’d be surprised if we saw a change of formation, but not surprised to see a change of configuration.

47 seconds for Mane to do that That was quick... (The Guardian) GOAL! Manchester City 2-2 Liverpool (Mane 46)Liverpool have been told about themselves! Salah picks the ball up down the right and slides a tremendous ball that bisects two defenders to hit the stride of Mane as Walker sleeps. He opens his body and punishes a riser high past Ederson, and that took 47 seconds! liverpool scarf-1 liverpool scarf-1

(The Guardian) 48 min Here come Liverpool again, Robertson getting forward for perhaps the first time in the match and arcing a cross that’s only just too strong for Salah.
49 min This hasn’t been the highest-quality game we’ve seen between these two sides - the defending has not been good – but it’s been one of the most exciting. And we’ve still not a clue how it’s going to shake out.

(The Guardian) 51 min So far this half, Liverpool are doing a much better job of stopping City from playing out, and that fits Klopp to a tee – protect your defence but putting the opponent’s defence under pressure.

(The Guardian) 52 min It’s all Liverpool now, Mane winning a big header that allows Alexander-Arnold to find Salah. He’s got Jota attacking the space in behind, using the outside of his boot to arc a pass to meet his run, and Jota cleverly allows the ball across him, taking out the defender on his near side before using the outside of his own foot to prod a shot that forces ederson to sprawl.

(The Guardian) 54 min City have their first serious possession of the second half, and I’m sure they’ll be wanting to slow things down a bit. Previously, they forced Liverpool to play their game, now it’s the other way around.
55 min One thing City could do with is getting Foden on the ball. I wonder if we might see him move inside at some point, especially if Liverpool continue bossing midfield.
56 min City are also finding it harder to stop Liverpool passing it out – they must’ve put a lot of energy into the first half.

(The Guardian) 57 min We said during the first half that City didn’t make the most of their ascendancy, but they’re still capable of scoring at any moment. Anyhow, Jesus intercepts a stray pass from Alexander-Arnold and he’s got De Bruyne free if he slides one in behind! But he doesn’t see him, Thiago duly ploughs through him, and he’s booked.
59 min As well as praising whatever Klopp said to his players at half-time – my guess is sentiments were expressed –we should also praise him for doing nothing. He could easily have made a couple of changes, given how badly his players were playing and the options available to him. But he trusted them to sort it out, and they have.

(The Guardian) 60 min Foden has time to pick out a cross and he finds a decent one, but there’s no one attacking it and Van Dijk quickly gets rid.
