Match Thread Liverpool v Man City

Babel and Dirk have switched wings it looks like. Babel now up against Ball.

Half time. All to play for in the 2nd half.

A game that we all expected really so far. Nothing flashy so far, some good movements but not free flowing football. Hope a goal comes and it opens things up.

I'm very surprised that Nemeth is not on the bench maybe next week, heh.  A good composed first half should have had a goal but a brilliant save by heart.  After today's selection must say I would be very surprised to see crouch next season, hopefully it will be the end of Riise too.

Muted atmosphere only ones singing are those F***ing City fans ffs. Bastads!!! Wish I had gone now and got my big mouth going. Gerrards attempted curler the only real chance, but was a very good save from Hart.

In other note is it just me or does our new kit seem more red Has anyone else noticed that!!

Yeah when Finn was taking a throw and a fella with the old kit behind him, it certainly stood out more. Ryan Babel, he has been great so far. Insua has been OK, he has kept Vassell quiet except once, lost the ball 2 or 3 times and been caught out once or twice but nothing major in a game like this.

Bloody hell, im feeling the effects of a big night. Have school tomorrow and its 2 am, might as well stay up and watch Braca and Valencia and see out the day with no sleep. Put on a show eh? Im sure the boys will push up more this half, a goal will come.

Unlucky from Torres.

Right at the get go! Good movement, corner though.

Elano just hit the post with a free kick.

Does anyone else think Sven is a lot more animated as a club manager than he was for England?

Is Voronin warming up?

Mascherano skims three players in the box

Shot was nowhere near on target, but great feet by Javier.

Torres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1-0

Torres! 1 - 0

What a goal by El Nino

Nando to break horseface's record? I think so.

Nice to see Didi getting cheered while he warms up for them.

One half chance, one brilliantly taken goal.  It is really sometimes as simple as that.

Great effort by lucas

Great volley by Kuyt!

3 minute lag i got here. You bas**rds ruined it

Brilliant finish. What about Mascher though, skimmed the oppo player twice!

FERNANDO TORRES LIVERPOOLS NUMBER 9 !

How the hell did hart save that? maybe we should sign him

Equalled it Ed.
