It was always going to be a big ask to win at Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.
The eventual scoreline won't have come as a major surprise to many fans based on recent performances, but we actually got off to a good start in an away game for a change when Mohamed Salah opened the scoring. A lot of the talk ahead of the game was about the loss of Erling Haaland, but that ended up making little difference in the end as Julian Alvarez impressed. I think Jurgen was very bold to go with the two in midfield, which ultimately backfired, as they continued to go one-versus-one against Robertson and Trent as we pressed their backline to stop them getting out.
City started getting more space in the second half and when they got the two early goals after the restart, it was game over. One of the goals they scored, they completed around 20 passes and not one tackle from a Liverpool player went in. They walked it in, which just about shows you where we’re at.
