Yup. Saw it live. He said it twice. Hilarious stuff.

What was it? Says no longer available.

I like Laporte as a central defender, at left back he is terrible. Did he put a pass right? And to slow, maybe the idea was to have him covering Komps and Stones but it was a mistake playing him there. Pep swallowed his pride and played Walker at last, what was the case with him anyway?

Bloody hell.
For a player playing out of position I thought he handled it very well. He has been our player of the season so far. Not even here 12 months yet.

There is a huge difference between fullback and centre back.

Agree with that. Playing Zinchenko would've lost us the match, end of. Little suprised he didn't play Danilo at LB - Walker must really have been on the naughty step or, as I suspect, still carrying an injury/strain from last summer (as well as playing crap)

Loads of Liverpool fans crying that Kompany should have been sent off. Just remind them that Mane shouldn't have even been playing..

Shouldda wouldda couldda, in the immortal poetry of the Spice Girls.

Isn't there always some excuse with them? Must be gutting having the open top bus parade postponed again

[Beefymcfc]

Just to reiterate, every single player and fan were superb last night.

And what's all this with the 'Kompany should've been sent off' from the dirty Dippers? Never was that a sending off but I guess they've got to blame it on something.

Never their fault, always the victim.

Have they forgotten Robertson sumo wrestling Sterling in the box?
100% penalty.

The 'Unvincibles'.

Sergio Kun Aguero. An unbelievable legend.

Stones, what a player.

Fernandinho. No words, how good is he?

Me too, running on adrenaline.
Atmosphere was brilliant, apart from between their equaliser and the winner. Everyone shut up and let them make all the noise. Just when we really needed it.
In fairness though, that happens everywhere, when we're away, all you can hear is City.

Cooled off a bit. Extraordinary night, waited half the season for THAT PERFORMANCE. I hope it has the same effect as the one vs Chelsea last year, and let's not forget we played with a obvious not fit Dave and without Tin Tin.

The question now is this: Will other teams step up against them?

On the let's not forget bit, we played Laporte at left back and still got the job done.

Great result we were well up for it and showed plenty of bottle. Little Bernie was awesome and fair play to Vinnie he did well. In other news, I had Sergio first goal and 3-1. Does anyone have Sterling's number, I might have to give him a bell?

[Harry Dowd scored]

I am in Australia to see kids, just found out result. Happy does not cut it, well done my City and bollacks to the dippers happy new year all blues

[City64]

Bin dipper journos blaming the length of the grass on the Etihad pitch now , it was too long for them ............

priceless blameless deluded bin dipping cunts !!!

[Mase]

Also great to see Pep just shake hands with Flopp and then fuck off straight down the tunnel. None of that making a meal out of things on the pitch afterwards and sucking off every Liverpool player. Was nice to see for a change.

As if we aren't a high passing team who would also be hurt from a slow pitch....

Love Vinny's interviews after the game when asked if he should have been sent off, "I thought it was a great tackle." And I agree with him 100%

He owes you big time.

[carl_feedthegoat]

VK proved me wrong last night , he was huge ( although that lunge could have affected us but it didn’t ) and Intake my hat off to him .

Did enjoy his interview after and also calling salah a fucking pussy made my night even more pleasurable .
