Just trying to be realistic, Liverpool look the more likely to score at the moment, we are far too sloppy with our play. 

I agree,  we are gettIng away with it so far..

so far so good. I still think we have given some sloppy passes away, which has put us under unnecessary pressure. Kovacic has been fantastic.

Great first half, we're trying to play the real football. Moving the ball and killing their press. We still can score one or two more, Liveprool will be looking for a comeback, but we should finish them until the end!

What a beast is Rudiger, so happy to have him back! Hazard is just wonderful. COME ON CHELS!!!

Desperately need an efficient striker. 

We need aa second.

Yep 1-0 is dangerous 

In Rudi we trust fk Salah!

Pedro a big miss today. Willian has been decent, but Pedro gives us something else with his movement and ambidexterity. I think he would have taken that ball down better from that Luiz pass and probably finished it too with his left foot. 

Finally Hazard is shooting a lot more often! My biggest criticism of him was that he doesn’t shoot enough. Nice one Sarri!

Liverpool will be a lot stronger in second half as we seem to get tired in 2nd half. Fingers crossed Hazard will find us another goal!

I can't see us keeping a cleansheet, they are getting in time and time again, especially down the sides. We won't keep getting away with them finishing poorly. Need to score another one.

decent first half and a great goal...were spending a lot of energy deep in our half still and leaving their front 3 acres of space to operate in, especially on our left side; if their timing wasn't off we could've found ourselves behind.  We really need to put some pressure on their defence they have had an easy time so far

This we are giving them way too much space on the flanks

I've noticed several times when Liverpool have been attacking down the right, there has been acres of space for Roberston on the left, Willian just isn't tracking him.

That was a tough half of football. Both sides had their moments, we took ours though. We are getting battered down the left and I don't think we have held the ball well at all so far. Just like on Wednesday, we are struggling through the middle and Jorginho can't really keep us ticking over. Everything is so rushed and we are making mistakes. Liverpool at their most clinical would have scored by now, we can't make those mistakes again in the second half because they won't keep missing them.

But the goal we scored was superb, the team play, passing and finish was brilliant. Rudiger has been excellent, Azpilicueta a lot better than he was on Wednesday, Willian playing ok, David Luiz has played some brilliant passes, Kovacic has been solid and got himself a brilliant assist. Hazard is on a different level though, I haven't seen him run so much and his finish was spot on.

Games like these are about small margins. We took our chance, they didn't. 

BT Sport lot frothing at the mouth for Liverpool to score. They even have a scouser commentating on this game lol.

Of course they are because they have been touting Liverpool vs City as the title match up we weren't even in top 4 contention according to the "experts"

I avoid BT Sport's when Liverpool are on now, I'll choose anything over them.

Sky love Liverpool too, but at least on Wednesday they were fair. They had Carragher on commentary, and he was very professional, something Steve McManaman never is on BT. Liverpool fans actually criticised Carragher for his commentary on Wednesday, all because he wouldn't kiss their ass.

We have to be alert and just weather the Liverpool storm that is about to come our way

I suspect we will concede

We started the 2nd half awfully on Wednesday, we need to be better today.

I can only follow the live commentary on Talksport and they seem to have a different opinion to some of the posters on here. I'm also following the game on Redcafe and they are heaping praise on our performance so far.
