On the way home talkshite said it was soft?

Not seen a replay either but they seem to be saying it was a 50/50. I think there was minimal contact but contact none the less from where i was sat.

no way it was 50/50... the fact that skrtel went down proves that it was a pen.... stupid challenge.

would love to hear what they'd have said had it been the racist who'd gone down... no doubt a city player would have seen red

From the angle it showed on tv (pretty much same view as the ref) Mekon caught Yaya's knee. Dalglish said it was too far away for him to see properly but no complaints and chuckle said deffo pen.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

i don't understand the Gareth Barry compliments tonight, not at all, his passing was crap, he was slow all the time and we paid the price for two games in two days. Barry was great on sunday and played well tonight. He needs more than two days rest, he's not the fastest midfielder. His vision is excellent, he reads the game very well, but tonight his body didn't hold up and as above, passing was very poor.Still he did not deserve a red card..... the scouse defender skyrtel , or what ever he is called, did.

The conditions were shite.. I'm surprised we passed the ball pretty well over the 90 mins to be honest.

We didn't. Delighted but Liverpool passed far better than we did.

I have to say that I was mightily impressed by Englands 1st choice right backs defending for our 2nd goal. Also can't understand why a world class winger like Downing would have to switch wings. Surely he is good enough to tear Englands 5th choice right back a new arse.

Possibly the most sense I've ever heard

Not seen it again yet. I just don't get the referees sometimes. Adam makes two clumsy, bookable challenges and gets nothing. Barry makes one and gets carded. Is it too much to ask for a little consistency?

just remember that a team can control a game even when they are not in possession of the ball. even a 10 man team

Granted. But ther passed much better than us.

But it's. Great way to win, and by such a margin. Shows we are the real deal

They kept the ball far better than we did hence the stats. At times we gave the ball away with wayward passing. That said I thought apart from a couple of occasions our defence was very comfortable. As we've found recently, it's not how long you have the ball for that counts.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

just got back in from the game! always a pleasure to beat Liverpool! winging, snide, journey man

think it was made even better by the fact that we struggled to get going but it was a very heavy pitch which the fans didn't really allow for and the wind really hand an effect when the ball was in the air.

Vinny got MOTM but it could have been any of the back 5 really. notably mention goes to Clichy who always seems to have a solid game and never panics.

Boy when Gaz Baz has a bad game he certainly goes all out! about 5 missed placed passes in the first half, probably more than all season combined and yet another city player sent off without ever leaving his feet.

Dzeko is obviously struggling at the moment, he works harder than probably most people think and he's got no luck at all.

Quietest Silva has been in a game, but they were trying to give him 'the treatment'!

Pleased that Bellamy got a good reception but Liverpools best player was the Weather!

Michael Jones from Chester filling in for Walton from the Wirral! I think these refs have got a pool going to see who can get away with the most!

Currently on hols in Sydney and missed the match as it started at 7.00 in the morning. After staying up until 4.00 in the morning (Slim, Dazby, how do you guys do it on regular basis !!) and seeing us lose to Sunderland with the last kick of the match, I had a bad feeling about today's match. As it turned out it was a big mistake as it seems I missed a cracker.
This was just the kind of result we needed after the 2 away disappointments and the best preparation for Sunday. Looking now for highlights.
