We did really well in this game considering we were really playing in the first half with:-
Lovren
TAA
Milner
Firminio
Robertson
The rest of the team were in a frozen defensive mode - completely lost as to how to deal with the city onslaught other than to guard the back line at all cost. It was as if they were frozen in time. So I think I have to give it to TAA as the MOTM given his young age and how he kept his cool when others around him just fucked off. So my ratings are as follows:
TAA 10
Lovren/Robertson 9
Firminio/Milner 8

Yeah, pretty much. Not really the type of night to single out individuals, we've done it as a team and everyone is a hero.
does anyone else have to double check which one of the above 2 gentlemen is posting?
Gk - totally agree with you about Robertson - it just took me one/two games to realize what a gem he was - we are lucky we got another brain box player in our team who reads the game and knows when to go forward and when to stay back in an age where footballers are chosen for mainly skill/physical reasons with the manager supposed to fill that void between the head. Really lucky - cannot believe we got him for 8M - what a fucking deal.
Milner was top of the pops for me.
People go on about work rate but that's only half the battle it also needs to intelligent and his closing down and movement to support the press and his teammates in possession.

It was well document that I was 'meh' about him but he has been nothing short of sensationally since getting his chance.
Delighted with his progress.
If Moreno had played both legs we would have limped out of the CL comically.

Robertson is like a fast Steve Finnan at the moment. Nothing too showy, great tackler, stays on his feet, great crossing.
All he needs to add is the groping, and we'll be set for quite a few years.

Ben Johnson from The Anfield Wrap is nearly as good as Brendan at ratings:

A LOT has been said after the game last week about the Manchester City bus.
Oh god, the poor bus, like the fucking thing had feelings, like Pinocchio or some shit. Papa, I’m a real bus. No your not lad, you are made of wood, you bellend. Pep Guardiola crying his way home on the replacement bus, having to leave the other one strewn on the side of road, closing it’s fucking wiper eyes as he left, safe travels on your final journey, big man x.
He’s obviously never been on the night bus back from town has he, the shitbag. My mate was once minding his own business, sleeping his way home after a donkey of a night on the ale, to be awakened by the window shattering all over his head. He jumps up out the seat, people are crying and screaming and some scally is running towards the open window, so he leans out through the broken glass and gives him a couple of belts, gets up, gets off the bus, gives the scally a hiding all over Parli, gets back on the bus to a standing ovation and goes back a kip, stopping only to ask the fella in front of him to wake him up at his stop.
Happens everyday here Guardiola, you big fucking fanny, and no one even bats an eye. The driver didn’t even get out of his seat, you prick. True story that, he’s dead now mind you, my mate, not the bus driver or Guardiola.
Lag: 7
Probably shouldn’t have played it to Virg for their goal seen as Virg was telling him to fuck off. Had that one covered from Bernardo Silva that nearly snapped the goal in two. When I say covered I mean he seen a bit of it. Maybe a glimpse. Wins the punch for their goal which weren’t a goal which led to Guardiola bouncing on the pitch at half time and chatting shit about buses again. Boring bus shagger, him.
Trent: 8
Showed experience beyond his years. Ecstatic with his “this ball is blag” routine. “Think it’s from Greaty, Ref”. Was boss there second half.
Big Virg: 7
Oh Virg. This is not the time for The Fonz to get the yips. You are The Fonz, for fuck’s sake. Is right lad, momentary blip. Back on the march after 20 minutes. Him and Degsy were boss after the first 10.
Degsy: 8
Tried to Cruyff turn their lad on the touchline, literally the touchline. Tried to empty Raheem Sterling on the touchline for no potential gain. Use your fucking brains, Reds. In fairness, 10 minutes onwards, he was impeccable. First to everything, throwing his body in. What a guy.
Robbo: 8
Used his head on a few occasions, got popped in possession a few times but in fairness that first half hour there wasn’t many options on. Grafted and was a nuisance throughout. I’m not sure there is a better role model in the country at the minute.
Milner: 8
Made our first tackle of the game on 27 minutes. Was fucking boss, to be honest. Nearly cried with joy. Handballed one that was flying in. Better than Jesus; not the one playing for them. Mixed it, grafted, played with his head second half.
Gini: 7
Did nothing, did nothing, did nothing, did nothing. Got the ball, played, played, played, The Reds scored. Four out of 10 first half, nine out of 10 second. That makes seven, I think, somehow.
Oxo: 9
Our only player who broke their lines. Unlucky for the chance at the end of the first half. Best player first half. Chopped one of their lads’ cock off second half which was quite debilitating for them.
Firmino: 8
Boss yellow. Got lashed left mid to offer protection. Did it, grafted, looked after the ball. Then just got the ball off their soft lad who wears gloves in the summer and slotted like he was playing in the park. Got took off for the caveman Klavan, which was sound.
Mo Salah: 9
What can you say about Mo Salah that hasn’t been said? I gave him me house last week. I’m not sure he’d fancy me car, the two front tyres probably need changing and there’s Monster Munch all over the passenger seat. Lives in a slow motion world mate, whenever he gets in their box. The bollocks on him to lift that finish.
Sadio Mane: 8
Kicked two of their lads in the bollocks and didn’t get sent off. Should have had a pen, but the ref let him off with kicking two of their lads in the bollocks so you know, swings and roundabouts and that.
SUBS
No one even knows who that was. Well in though, everyone.
