THE FANS’ VERDICTS

DAVE USHER (liverpoolway.co.uk)

LAST season this would have ended 1-1. The reason it didn’t was down to Alisson’s big save. He may want to learn to get rid of the ball a bit quicker. But with City dropping points, Alisson’s save was huge. If we can keep pace with City, maybe more cracks will start to show. STAR MAN: GEORGINIO WIJNALDUM

IF Liverpool score first you fear the worst — but their only chance came from our error. Only a quality player like Salah could have tucked that in. Otherwise we were strong, solid and composed in a dignified defeat. Bigger sides will bottle it at Anfield and we showed genuine belief. STAR MAN: MAT RYAN
