Confirmed line ups and game thread:
The teams are in and Roberto Mancini has made a number of changes from the defeat at Sunderland, including David Sulva and Sergio Aguero, whilst Liverpool - without the banned Luis Suarez - decide not to include either Steven Gerrard or Craig Bellamy.
#MCFC v Liverpool: Hart, Richards, Clichy, Kolo, Kompany, Barry, Yaya, Milner, Silva, Aguero, Dzeko.

LIVERPOOL: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Downing, Henderson, Adam, Kuyt, Spearing, Carroll

First game I get to watch live in a bit, calling a Milner day.

In order to score again, we will need to get the ball back, right?

Is there a more chippy team than Liverpool? I think not. 2-0 and I’ll take it.
Half time numbers
2-0 City at HT, which means City’s first-half record this season is now W10 D10 L0 F18 A4 and City’s record when winning at HT: W8 D1 L0 F34 A9. Liverpool’s record when losing at HT: W0 D1 L2 F1 A6.
Key stats: MCFC 2 LFC 0 HT Poss%: 45/6-54.4 | Shots: 6-5 | On Target: 5-2 | Passes: 209-254 | Accuracy%: 81-85 | G.Duels: 24-25 Tackle win%: 73-90.
Compare and contrast. v Sunderland: 27 shots only 5 on target and 0 goals. v Liverpool tonight: 6 shots, 5 on target and 2 goals.
great response
Excellent response to the results at West Brom and Sunderland. Hopefully AJ will get a bit of time and Newcastle will hold the rags tomorrow

Great defense! ’Nuff said.
Oh, and I was very, very, very happy to see Dzeko going after some of the Liverpool thugs.
Liverpool
Best Actors. Best Divers. Best whiners you can find anywhere in Europe. That’s saying something.

You know what they call that? Justice.
Three points.
Who cares?
Barry showed that he was a weak link in the game.

False.
Barry has been one of the better and more consistent Blues the past month in particular. He was fired up and lost his cool today.

Kompany or Yaya
Which is MotM? Both immense. Kolo very good as well.
Kompany was a beast in the box
He gets my vote.

Skeletor was a whiner all match
Too bad with barry, but it was his usual clumsy worthless hip check.
Kompany and Yaya both played quite well.
dammit
We have a good lively game thread, and its the one time I was nowhere near an internet connection.
Big players make big plays
