What were the key moments that led to Liverpool's victory over Manchester City?
Liverpool have stunned Manchester City here. High energy, high press from the start. Mangada caught cold. Liverpool in front and it got worse. So much worse. Firmino for Coutinho. Brazilians combining. Beguiling and breathtaking as a third came. Coutinho this time for his countryman. Aguero just before half-time gave City what they thought might be a way back.
How did Liverpool's high press impact Manchester City's performance?
But the red tide showed no sign of abating. Martin Schürtel thumped home a fourth. That's how it finished and the Kop has a new idol. Fourteen attempts to Manchester City's 11 for Liverpool, nine of which on target to City's three. though City did see more of the ball. 59% possession, but who needs the ball when you're so good on the counter-attack? 19 touches in the opposition area, City, to Liverpool's 17. Defiant at the back as well through their skipper Martin Skirtle. Big performance too from James Milner returning here. Let's hear from both now with Geoff Shreves.
What role did individual player performances play in the match result?
James, Martin, first of all, just what sort of result is that for Liverpool?
It's massive, you know, because I came here and won 4-1. It's a great result, you know. Just been working hard, you know, and I think the performance this year was brilliant and absolutely deserved three points. What do you think was key for you to get that today? Teamwork, you know. I think the way we played first half was just brilliant, you know, then score three goals, could score more. Unfortunately, we conceded one, but the team spirit and teamwork we showed was perfect and it broke us three points.
James, having spent so long here yourself, you know the quality of the players here, what do you make of that extraordinary scoreline?
Yeah, they're a top team and they've shown it year on year and, you know, the start of this season as well, so for us to come here and get the result was brilliant.
How did Manchester City respond after conceding goals?
I thought we were top class first half, second half we probably didn't play as well, but still defending well and still created a few more chances as well. Could it have been more? Maybe, you know, we had chances to get a few more. You know, Harty made a couple of good saves, and they had chances as well, and so done well, and these guys defended brilliantly, so I think it was a really good performance. It was pleasing, the amount of chances we scored, and like I said, when you're disappointed that we could have had more than that, that's a pleasing thing.
What was it like for you personally?
Yeah, it's always strange coming back to a club when you've been here that long. Five years is a long time, obviously I've made a lot of friends here, so to come back was strange, but as soon as you step on that football field, it's all about getting the three points, and luckily enough we did that today.
Martin, you always seem to score against Manchester City. What do you put that down to?
What tactical changes did Jurgen Klopp implement during the game?
I don't know. It was the fourth goal I scored against them, so I wouldn't mind if we played them every week. But I'm happy to help the team, and most important is the winning, so I'll be happy for them.
What was the crucial period just after half-time when they just got one back?
Yeah, you know, when we conceded just before the half-time, it wasn't easy, but as I said, in the second half, we were defending good, and obviously they created some chances, but they are the top team, so we could expect that, but as I said before, we deserved a free point.
James, were you slightly relieved when it didn't go 3-2?
I mean, you've just got to stay in that moment, I think, like you say. It was disappointing when you're coming in at half-time, disappointed with conceding the goal, like you say, it was a critical period, but it's a pleasing way that we came out, played again and went again and got the other goal, and that's pleasing to kick on.
More than the three points, what does this result give you today?
I think hopefully that confidence that we can beat these teams, we had a good result at Chelsea as well obviously and I think the away form has been pretty good if you look at the teams we've played, we've played all the top teams and done pretty well, it's the home form that we can improve on and as long as we know where we need to improve that's a pleasing thing and we can hopefully kick on and take a lot of spirit from this and there's a lot of games coming up so it's a good start to this period.
