Haven’t seen one made, so here we go?
International break is over (finally), and Mik Arteta’s tricky reds are back on the menu!

They were facing Liverpool, who while themselves weren’t great going forward, they stayed resolute for the most part. Liverpool are a very good team, though City was the better of the two I thought.
A good result for us in the end, but City look good as always imo.
It was very weird for a big game. A lot of spaces, chaos everywhere. I know Liverpool thrives on that, but that wasn’t ideal for city playing at home btw. City wasn’t able to play their game and mitigate Axg like we do for instance. They’re going through individuality alone.
Neither of them felt in control, which for Liverpool doesn’t mean that much but it’s very concerning for city, because we did have the control of the game when we won against them.
I actually thought it was fine, just Liverpool in final third surprised me how much bad decisions they made.
I thought City were in complete control that second half, Liverpool didn’t threaten apart from that goal.
I thought City played well, just not clinical in final third and Liverpool were fine.
I don’t think City are reliant on individuality.
They’ve been great this season imo, their usual good selves at this stage of the season.
I don’t think we controlled the first half vs City. Second half was better though from us.
Apart from some half chances in first half for Liverpool where bad touches were made, they didn’t really do much.
Apart from the first 15 minutes the field (which we were very lucky to no concede) tilt is all on our side
They had the kind of space that could be easily exploited 2 year ago.
They look less robotic and not for the better.
Both of them are lookin shaky.
We are the best team in the league in the eye test plus that ball progression map
We’re the hardest team to beat in the league, more than city.
Field tilt is not a conclusive stat. Field tilt also favoured us against Chelsea, and we didn’t control that game at all. Stats don’t tell the whole story of games.
I don’t think City are as shaky as you say but I hope they do become that ofc.
We’re not the best in the league currently with the eye test at all, come on lad.
Too much focusing on stats, but hey I hope we do become the best in the league.
City look fine to me, if 29pts/39 is “shaky” then I hate to see what they do when they get good. They’re not shaky brother.
Agree to disagree, COYG 🤝
