Manchester City players who simply need to improve – Agreed?

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, although ecstatic after his team’s remarkable performance at the Etihad Stadium, refused to get carried away with talks of Liverpool finishing in the top four and believed that there was work to be done if his team was to reach the Champions League.

While this result was very much a team effort, some of the interplay between the Reds samba stars was nothing short of sublime.

The Brazilian has had a slow start to his Liverpool career since a big money move from German side Hoffenheim in the summer, but he is now beginning to show his talent.

Keegan – speaking during a visit to Qatar to check on progress there ahead of the 2022 World Cup there – added: “Klopp is a flawless fit at Liverpool”. Only one player in Europe’s major leagues – Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro of Toulouse – has made more tackles in 2015/16.

Klopp has been credited with installing a new attitude at Anfield, but until now results had not reflected that. Whereas in the past Liverpool have hinged their hopes on Sturridge’s fitness or Suarez’s goals, Klopp does not get bogged down in worrying about the importance or individual players.

Carragher has heaped praise on Lallana, Coutinho and Firmino. Klopp appears to have struck gold.

He’s a man of the people, and that’s what Liverpool Football Club has always been about.

Liverpool were beaten at Anfield by Crystal Palace on their last outing but on this occasion they ravaged the title favourites with a high-energy display from the outset. Personally, I’d love to play under Klopp. That is when we will see Manchester City running on all four pots again!

“Today we did it all wrong – the performance, the way we defended, the way we went forward”.

Pellegrini ‘s men struggled in defence without captain Vincent Kompany, who missed the game through injury, and Mangala and Martin Demichelis toiled against Liverpool’s attacking movement.

“Obviously the new manager they’ve got has implemented a system to press high”.

They drew their first three matches in Group B 1-1, starting with the away game against Bordeaux, then won 1-0 away to Rubin Kazan to stand second in the table two points behind leaders Sion. When you have footballers playing in a position that they are not particularly familiar with, they have the excuse of not playing to the best of their ability.

But their next six games are daunting.

Liverpool midfielder James Milner says that the team need to improve their home form after beating Chelsea and Manchester City on the road.
