What were the key moments of the Super Sunday match?
David Silva, Sané, difficult angle, difficult challenge for Van Dijk. Penalty for Manchester City at Anfield against Van Dijk. It's a massive moment here where Manchester City so rarely win. And a win for the penalty anyway. It's almost putting it out of the stadium.
But a clean sheet nonetheless, having conceded seven here in their previous two visits this year, and a point as well. John Stone's giving his reaction now to Jeff Shreves.
John, how great is the sense of frustration that you were so close to ending 50 years of anguish at Anfield?
Yeah, so close. It's one of those things in football. He was taking them really well in training all week, penalties, and it happens, so we had to move on and kind of got the crowd going for Liverpool, really, and we had to dig in right at the end because those sort of moments in games can go both ways. could have been a goal and the game could have been over. Like it was, we didn't score and they could have gone and got a late goal at the end, so we had to keep our heads and keep switched on, but I think it's progress from last season, great progress, how we competed against them. They're a top team and to come to Anfield and get a clean sheet is something that us as defenders are really proud of and I'm proud of all the team with how hard they worked.
It was such a physical battle today, I thought, Everyone put the shift in and did the job for the team.
Back to the penalty itself. Aguero's off. Is there a second designated penalty or is it just left to the players to sort out themselves?
Yeah, I've literally just started celebrating that we got a penalty. It's a great opportunity to go and win the game. not taking any notice who was taking the penalty so I thought it was just decided between the boys and as I said, Riyad was taking them really well in training all week and I had the courage to step up. How was he in there? Yeah, he's deflated and
How did the penalty incident impact the game?
I think if it was me, I'd be the same. I think he feels he's let us down. But how he played for us today was, you know, he gave everything, kept the ball and he was top. And I thought if he scored a goal, it would have made his day. You know, as I said, those things happen and I'm sure he'll score another one.
As you say, though, is it not a sign of progress that you come out here disappointing at one as opposed to not losing?
Yeah, as I said, it's clean sheet at Anfield. It's not something that you can do very often. The attacking threat's brilliant from their team and we stopped that today. I thought we defended really well as a team, not just the back four. and kept them to as less chances as we could. We had chances at the end. It wasn't going to be one of those games where you score early and get another one. It was going to be right until the end, and it was.
What did John Stones say about the team's performance?
We can take a lot of positives from it and be proud of how we performed today and, as I say, after international, take it into the next game and hopefully get another three points.
Thank you, John.
Jamie Carragher has rejoined us, but I suspect, Craig, you've probably had more to do with penalties than Jamie has and the taking of them and the deciding of who takes them. So, as Johnstone says, that conversation, he didn't know who was going to take that penalty.
So how would that work itself out? Well, sometimes, you know, I've been with managers where they let the players sort it out between themselves. Who's on form? Usually you have one penalty taker. And that was, you know, it was clear it was Aguero. But obviously he wasn't on the pitch. And then who's on the pitch at the same time is sometimes who's playing well, who's been taking him well in training. Benitez, when they rough up Benitez, would have second and third penalty taker. And you had to stick by that. You couldn't change. Because I did try that once in Peleha. and missed and paid a big fine for it. But sometimes it just depends who's in form, who's playing well. Who's having a good day. Yeah, exactly that.
If you're the manager, Graham, do you almost have to let the guy that really wants to take it have it?
