Liverpool run riot against Manchester City

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hopes that his side’s brilliant 4-1 dismantling of former Premier League leaders Manchester City will convince his players that they can surmount any obstacle.

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says his team’s defeat against Liverpool has nothing to do with individual players.

“There are always areas we can improve”.

“Hopefully I’m not too far away now”.

Asked what had changed for Liverpool since the dismissal of his predecessor Brendan Rodgers last month, Klopp replied: “For us it’s not important what’s different”. But when you come to Chelsea and City and win that should fill you with a lot of confidence. “It shows the quality we do have”.

Liverpool’s Emre Can celebrates victory with manager Jurgen Klopp. This victory over City was a triumph for Klopp’s “gegenpressing” ethos – the quick switch from attack to a high press – as City were cast as hapless patsies who made countless errors and gave up possession cheaply.

“In the second half, we didn’t want to keep it tight – we wanted to keep doing what we were doing and get on the front foot”.

“He wants us all to be the same – to be fighting for the team and fighting for the club and that’s what we’re all doing”.

“He’s been out a long time”, said Milner of England colleague Sturridge.

“I thought the lads were outstanding from start to finish”, said Henderson.

“Tonight was very good, but it was not ideal because we can defend better and stay in the game better when we have a 3-0 lead”.

The Brazilian had run the hosts ragged throughout Saturday’s Barclays Premier League encounter, scoring the second goal and teeing up Roberto Firmino for the Reds’ third. Sagna said: “It’s not my best week”. They did not stop just at that though, as they also declared that Liverpool FC forward Roberto Firmino is the operator of the stadium. “It’s not the team we know”.
