City are going to score at some point. Probably more than once. But we are putting in a good shift and looking decent went coming forwards.

Unlucky Forster

1) Can't see him being sacked this side of January. No word from the club about any discontent. 2) No-one I guess. 3) We have virtually no information on Gao or his thoughts or activities. 4) Eric Black?

But he might actually try something different...

I'd be very surprised if he is sacked this side of January. No signs of discontent among the leadership. If they were going to get rid they'd have done it by now.

You'd expect at least Salah to complete his hat trick

Austin has helped so far!

This is what does my head in most. For the last few years we've played the exact same formation and looked less and less dangerous.

Even against those other teams we've not look dangerous. We just keep putting out the same tired formation and expecting different results.

With the fixtures coming up I really can't see what difference it'll make.

Was a solid effort. We have some good players, just not enough.

Losing today is to be expected. Liverpool at home.. a lot of teams will get nothing. Unfortunately we've already squandered the "easier" games. This is what concerns me most. Still only 2-0.

Just needed Pelle there to knock it in

To be fair when you look at the players Liverpool have we don't stand a chance. Have to keep battling. Only 1-0.

We've had a few lucky blocks. Including a shot beaten away by Forster. ie. he made a save

25 mins gone. Riding our luck. How long is Lemina out? We need him back.

Long seems totally devoid of confidence. He was never this bad!

We've made no progress since game one and show no sign of improvement. Pellegrino out of ideas already. Needs a fresh approach.

The side just lacks the quality to make things happen. Too many average players and not enough spark. It happens when you sell off the stars and don't adequately replace. Players have nothing really to play for. No-one to get behind and try to build. No ambition shown by the club. No wonder VVD wanted to leave.

He didn't seem impressed after the match. Not sure the two see eye to eye but hopefully can remain professional.

Great to see all three subs came on with a point to prove. How did we get £12m for JRod?

Great win. And we got £12m for Jrod. How??

Has to play down the middle from now on!

Forster every time he gets it. Looks like a mistake about to happen. Needs dropping for his sake and ours. Get the basics back under less pressure
