    shame that one mistake has taken us away from a very good 1st half display

    Well, good all round for 40 minutes and 1 mistake costs us.

    How many times last season did individual mistakes cost us a goal last year? It seems when ever we make them, we make them in areas that are dangerous and more often than not result in a goal.

    Can't be too harsh on Moreno, first game in a new league, away to the Champions. As long as he learns from that it's all good <ok>

    Toure looks like hes not overly arsed any more.

    1-0 city though. Poor defending from the new kid. Liverpool had the better of it for most of the first half but didn't create too much.

    You were the better side for half an hour there, but without really creating much in the way of real chances.

    Moreno got lucky with the lunge on Zabaleta and then got mugged for their goal - looks like a great signing <ok>

    Coutinho looking lightweight again. Lad needs to prove he's cut out for the prem. Johnson **** as per. And just **** newbie clearance from Moreno. Need to inject some pace. Markovich on for cou.

    Bit slow and lazy at times. We need better players in midfield. Very even first half, neither team wants to lose.

    Despite all the possession and good play we've not tested Hart enough, the Citeh defence is covering him fairly well, which is slightly worrying.

    Need to be less intricate sometimes and put a shot on.

    So, fair to say, good game - bad result?

    I'd wake coutinho up by bringing him off here - just not good enough from him

    Nothing against Moreno - those are the kind of mistakes I would expect from both him and Manquillo at this stage of their liverpool career.

    But we all know that if johnson made that error this board would be in meltdown

    Look unlucky to be one down there to be fair If City don't up their game I can see a draw...

    ****ing maoning load of ****s!

    We had all of that half except for 1 moment and it cost us dearly. But I trust they're not listening to you lot in the dressing room. We have a half and 3 subs to get something out of this and we've proved that we are capable.

    Stop ****ing moaning

    We didn't deserve that goal. Hopefully more of the same, performance wise, next half, but this time we'll score! Skrtel with a header from a corner. So long as it's not an OG <doh>

    Half time report from Etihad

    Moreno getting lots of praise and having quite a few good moments till the goal, everyone saying it's much more solid defensively and don't feel nervous watching, not so sure now, fans loving Sterling's attempts to bully Toure got a good cheer

    Johnson now even more of a hate figure, totally anonymous

    We had the better half but didn't get the crucial goal to show it, we've been quicker, stronger, more imaginative, just lacking that final finish which they obviously got in the space of 15 secs not a whole half

    Absolutely evil night though, it's skipped to November in Mancland

    He's never been good in an important game. That's the worrying reality

    Coutinho has given the ball away far to much. He could have made simple passes but tries a daft flick or a ball that is underpowered and we are on the backfoot right away. Don't know who we could bring on instead of him, maybe Can

    Newcastle looked better and they lost 2 nil. When will you realise keeping the ball doesn't win the game? We've had one clear cut shot on goal

    And City have had how many? Toure a 25 yard sighter which Mig saved easily. Other than that it's a case of both defences playing well and neither attack managing to break them down very well.
