This is my biggest concern if we decide to go after Isak. He seems to play a couple of games and then get injured. Don’t see how it’s different to having Jota #LFC #LIVNEW

Won’t be able to commentate on the game today - keep me posted please! Up the reds - praying for another Mo master class! Score prediction for me is 3-2 to Liverpool #LFC #LIVNEW

Man of the match? Obvious answer is between Mo and Szobo as they got the goals and were great offensively. I’m going to go a different way and say Virgil. Favorite moment was when he just got between Doku and the ball and let it run for a goal kick. Immense #MCILIV #redsky #LFC

Full time: Manchester City 0-2 Liverpool. What can really be described as a professional win by Liverpool. Didn’t have a lot of the ball, sloppy passing but scoring when it mattered. Mohamed Salah was at the heart of everything. 11 points clear at the top. Over to you Arsenal #LFC #MCILIV

Camera pans to Haaland. Stay humble eh? #LFC #MCILIV

4 minutes stoppage time #LFC #MCILIV

Salah off for Harvey Elliott and Jarrell Quansah on for Trent #LFC #MCILIV

So many sloppy passes now. Keep it tight Reds #LFC #MCILIV

Last ditch tackle needed! Dias carelessly gives the ball away to Salah and he finds Szobozslai who’s shot is blocked by an excellent tackle by the young City CB #LFC #MCILIV

Cody Gakpo on for Luis Diaz #MCILIV

Triple substitution for City: Marmoush, Ake and Gonzalez off, Dias, Gundogan and Kovacic on #LFC #MCILIV

Chance for City but Lewis can only get the side netting #LFC #MCILIV

Double substitution for Liverpool coming up: Tsimikas for Robertson and Endo for Jones #LFC #MCILIV

Good save from Alisson! Robertson dived for a tackle and only caught air and Savinho’s ball finds Doku and he gets time to hit a clean shot but Alisson collects - that was dangerous #LFC #MCILIV

Also don’t understand why Liverpool tactically are still persisting with Trent going up one v one against Doku. He’s been cooked for most of the game. Thankfully with no end product #LFC #MCILIV

Diaz did so well to get away from three players and then cheaply gives the ball away. Decision making needs to be better #LFC #MCILIV

Liverpool full backs are being outdone by City here. Savinho and Doku getting a lot of joy on the wings. Only thing missing is the end product #LFC #MCILIV

Kevin de Bruyne coming off for City for James McAtee #LFC #MCILIV

What a chance created by Diaz! Drew a good save from Ederson there #LFC #MCILIV

Oh Andy Andy! We don’t want you shooting on your weaker foot. Decent chance from that corner #LFC #MCILIV

What pressing from Mac Allister there! Forced De Bruyne to concede a corner. Before that Salah is released by Trent again and he nearly got another assist with that pass #LFC #MCILIV

What a chance to pull a goal back from City. Marmoush gets away from Konate and sends a great ball across the box but no one attacks it #LFC #MCILIV

Offside. Goal not given. 2-0 Liverpool #LFC #MCILIV

GOAL AND IT’S 3-0 to Liverpool! And it’s Curtis Jones! Easy as you like, Liverpool find Szobozslai in the box and he squares it unselfishly for the oncoming Jones to tap into the net. They’re looking at the offside for Szobozslai #LFC #MCILIV

Oh that would’ve been some move. Again Salah is released by Trent and he feeds a wonderful ball to Szobozslai who tried to return the favor but was intercepted #LFC #MCILIV

Wasted opportunity. Trent with a delicious ball out to Salah and he waited to pass the ball and Robertson on the follow up made a hash of it #LFC #MCILIV

Foul on Jones by Marmoush and both players are worse for wear from that #LFC #MCILIV

Again that out ball to Doku is always an option for City. Trent leaves him so much space #LFC #MCILIV

Again excellent defending from van Dijk. Doku gets away from Trent and Gravenberch feeds an excellent ball to Marmoush but the Liverpool captain is across and gets the ball away #LFC #MCILIV

Half time. Manchester City 0-2 Liverpool. Not the prettiest game by both teams standards with both teams attacks mainly off sloppy passing or counters. Salah got the first goal from a corner routine and proceeded to assist Szobozslai from one of the best moves of the game. #LFC #MCILIV

HALF CHANCE FOR CITY! Nico Gonzalez’s shot takes a wicked deflection which nearly wrongfooted Alisson but he eventually collects #LFC #MCILIV

Liverpool’s defending has been a bit chaotic despite the 2-0 scoreline. City still seem to make the ball stick and except for Konate and Virgil, our tackles have been a hair off #LFC #MCILIV

What a tackle by Konate! He’s been immense against Doku. Trent needs to thank his lucky stars for that, Doku has had his number all game #LFC #MCILIV

Mohamed Salah is now the first player to score and assist in 11 matches in the Premier League. Inevitable on this form - give him a contract NOW! #LFC #MCILIV

GOAL! And it’s 2-0 at the Etihad. Salah with the assist now and it’s Dominik Szobozslai. What a ball by Salah and what a run by Szobozslai no one picks him up and he just passes that ball into the net with Ederson stranded. Pass by Trent starts the move #LFC #MCILIV

Mac Allister is back on and okay to continue #LFC #MCILIV

Mac Allister is getting checked by medics. Something must have happened. Hope he’s okay to continue #LFC #MCILIV

Terrible defending there by Liverpool thankfully Marmoush was offside. We couldn’t get a tackle in on a City player. Would’ve been an equalizer #LFC #MCILIV

Foul by Szobozslai on Savinho. Free kick in a dangerous area. Marmoush and Foden on this one #LFC #MCILIV

City keep finding Doku in acres of space. If Liverpool aren’t careful something could come of it #LFC #MCILIV

Robertson needs to be careful it’s twice he’s made some silly challenges now but got away without a card #LFC #MCILIV

Another counter attack goes begging. Salah does brilliantly to hold the ball up till Szobozslai gets there and the attack dies with Diaz who couldn’t sort his feet out #LFC #MCILIV

Sloppy from Jones again and City are up the pitch again. They are really targeting Trent as the weak link and between Doku and Marmoush, required interventions of Salah to get the ball away #LFC #MCILIV

Mo Salah getting manhandled again but nothing from the referee #LFC #MCILIV

Sloppy by Jones there, passed to no one #LFC #MCILIV
