If Mane wasn't such a selfish bastard it wouldn't even matter. Liverpool should have been two up.

Whilst Liverpool have been by far the better team - they’ve struggled to break down Everton other than that piece of quality from Salah.
Everton have been poor going forward but we’re gifted that penalty by Lovren.
Poor.

That was infuriating to watch even as a neutral. Had to square it there.

The penalty is one thing but Liverpool have been sloppy in the final third today. Taking Salah off was a bit strange as he looked the most most likely to score a second.

Gives us a bit of breathing room now. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all dropping points this weekend.

Lovren and Klopp complaining to the red at the end.
:lol:

He was going away from goal and there was no need to shove him in the back.
What a tool.

You don’t rest or take your best players off for a Derby. I know Everton are usually shite in them, but they had the new manager bounce with Big Sam.

Sky struggled to find a City legend...

I really have to praise Arsenal for their ability to get late goals. They really keep going to the end. That can only stem from Wenger as they’ve had that ability for years now despite all the player changes.

Happy with the line up. Tough game though. If we can keep it tight defensively we can cause them problems. Need a big game from Herrera.

Jurgen Klopp to Sky Sports: 'Can we please stop this? I am not in the mood. I only want to talk to people with some understanding of football.'

Woeful from Man Utd so far. They’ll be lucky to get nil.

I wouldn't have played Rashford, Lingard and Martial I'd drop Rashford for another central player as De Bruyne has got too much freedom.

Edit: Rashford :wub: :shifty:

Typical mistake from City gifted to us there.
We need to do more with the ball if we’re going to win this.

Outrageous that Sky haven’t invited Mick Hucknall into the studio.
