City have shown they can be defensively weak in recent games. But also deadly up front. Could still go either way here.

We've looked dangerous occasionally. Tough one for Pelle there as the defender was in the way.

ah.. if only we could turn this game around it would be so good. Just need 2 goals eh?

To be fair though you are looking at one of the top top teams in this league when they are in their groove.

They are on top now. We are mere spectators. Hopefully we can get a grip.

1-0 Lampard But you have to laugh at Liverpool regardless!

Long needed to blast it at the back post there. But good chance and good running. Aguero.. how did he miss!

I think we look solid all over at the moment in the face of a quality team. I'd rather they had spells of possession than us dominate the game and lose anyway

Longest speech EVER!

Typical that we finally sort it out one week and Spurs go and win as well!

Ref put on a villa shirt at half time.

We have definitely taken our foot off the gas. Not working as hard.

Sloppy fouls. Putting unnecessary pressure on.

Hopefully we've got enough of a cushion.

WHAT A STRIKE!!

4-0 already. Long with the tap in.

No goals for 5 minutes. Koeman out!

3-0! MANE HAT TRICK!

2-0! AMAZING!

1-0 and fully deserved. Mane!

Whew Benteke should have finished that.

So far a perfectly good Pelle goal incorrectly ruled offside.

Can't see one elsewhere?

At least we have something to play for these last 2 games. Could go down to the last day.

It isn't just Pelle at fault. He'd probably do a lot better if he was supported by another striker. It is Koemans persistence in playing 1 up front supported by attacking midfielder's over and over and over and over.. regardless of the result. The only changes he seems to make are like-for-like replacements and rarely a switch in the formation. Hopefully this season will be a learning experience for him.
