Ah well Lambert's goal keeps Spurs on top of the league.Was that Willie Frazer on the bench beside Rodgers tonight?

[Sidney]

Lambert should have blasted that chance for 3-2 into the far top corner and then it would have got really interesting.

Defending mistakes cost us but it was a better performance than against Southampton.

Chances created but cutting edge not there without Luis.

If Rodgers was reticent about strengthening where it matters, that's a perfect wake up call. He has 6 days or so to get a few decent loans.

Still think Chelsea will walk it.

Ur spot on about Johnson Lapis lad.I can't stand that Geoff Shreeves.Would love to plant him.

[bennydorano]

End product missing, superb build up & penetration at times. No need for panic.

Shreeves is a c**k, his stupid style has been bugging the shit out of me lately.

[J OGorman]

Lapis knows his stuff :-)

[Bingo]

First goal was the game changer. Well in the game at that stage.

City very hard place to go and get anything. It's out if the way and not many will get anything there, city a top side.

Need to get two strikers up top and play from there. We'll be grand. No panic.

Far too much space in front of back four. Gerrard not the answer as a holding midfielder in games like that against big teams. Great passer and all but sadly the legs just aren't there and when he reacts to the runners it is too late. If there is anywhere we need a new signing it is in midfield!

City could put up some ridiculous scores this season i can see them scoring 4 and 5 goals regularly  Pretty mad when you think how strong they are 

[mikehunt]

That was worrying. City didn't have to break sweat. Same story at the back. A coach that can show them how to defend as a team needs to be brought in. The first goal was a mistake but the second and third ones were worse. Lads not going with runners and ball watching, expecting others  to take responsibility.

Had a coaching meeting so I missed the second half. Sounds like the performance went down though? I worry about the goal threat. We played well in the first half, but never really had a chance. Coutinho wasn't great of what I saw, and he actually missed a few opportunities to slide in Henderson. How did can and markovic do? Who did they replace?

Thought the one striker up front left Liverpool a bit toothless. Sturridge just wasn't able to do enough on his own.  Midfield weren't great, particularly Countinho and Allan but as Carragher and Neville pointed out , the big difference were the back 4s City's was tight, not letting anyone get into space in the box whereas Liverpool's back weren't near close enough at times and left gaps that City exploited to get in for the first 2 goals.   Lovren got caught for the third goal badly, left himself in a bad position to let Aguero in.  City are an interesting outfit. They look pedestrian and playing within themselves for large spells, but they can hit a 5 or 10 minute spell where they inject a burst of pace and incision and really open teams up.  Like Chelsea, they're a big powerful side.
