Yesterday at Anfield saw us beat Liverpool with pretty much a second string team given we have a Champions league semi final on Wednesday and we've come away with a 2-0 win! Remember Liverpool had won 11 in a row and I think we were the last team to beat them! (At the Bridge 2-1). Negative football apparently is all a load of rubbish really and we've rattled a few thousand Scouse cages for sure!
In February we went to the Etihad where City had been scoring for fun... Not lost all season in the league and hadn't not scored there since a game v Birmingham in 2011! Everyone expected us to go and play for the 0-0 like at Old Trafford and the Emirates. We ended up winning 1-0 and hitting the woodwork a further 3 times! I was in the away end and it was surreal. Cheering every throw in we got like a goal.. Felt like a lower league side at a premier league side in the FA Cup!
The main similarity is at both times, City and Liverpool were both respectively in control of the league and looked set to win it but we managed to go and win and concede no goals! We have conceded more goals at Villa away than we have at the Etihad, Anfield, Old Trafford and the Emirates put together! So which one is a more impressive win?
Personally... I think the Liverpool one. To do it with a second string side was special especially given they needed 3 wins for the title. I loved City away as I was there etc. but yesterday was amazing.
