It was a game which was expected to be of high quality, exactly the standard of play which had the fans very pleased. The host team was a bit slow in movement for short period. Liverpool could have been overjoyed in the first twelve minutes. However Man City settled down and produced the type of game which offered the thought of victory. However, the champions were faced with A well organised defence which was previously unfamiliar and appeared more uncomfortable in their attacking play. Lessons of tight defense. Followed by penetrative scoring opportunities. A well balanced game which promises to demonstrate quality football as the season continues.
