KEY UPDATES
19' - Carlos Tevez strikes the woodwork! From a tight angle the Argentinean hooks his foot around the ball but it bounces off the far post and is gathered by Reina.
33' - So nearly an opener for Liverpool as Kompany slices over his own crossbar.
34' - From the resulting corner Liverpool do lead thanks to Martin Skrtel's thumping header.
45' - The half-time whistle sounds to cheers from around Anfield. It's been a great first-half for Liverpool - they lead and deserve to. The passing has been wonderful to watch at times, and yet the goal came from a Martin Skrtel bullet header.
64' - Equaliser for City but it's a mess from Liverpool's point of view. Reina misses a cross, it bounces off Kelly and Yaya Toure converts.
66' - SENSATIONAL FROM LUIS SUAREZ! He's had a frustrating day today but the Uruguayan master craftsman curls in a wonderful set-piece and Liverpool's lead is restored.
80' - Catastrophic error from Martin Skrtel who's backpass to Reina is hopelessly short and Carlos Tevez knocks it in.
90' - The full-time whistle goes. It was an excellent performance from Liverpool but they threw away the lead twice with poor errors. But their have been signs of encouragement for Brendan Rodgers.

The error that Skrtel made is a by product of playing football that BR wants. They will learn from that. The important thing is that we are beginning to gel the team.

There's nothing wrong with expecting a win when you're playing at home...and considering the way we played today, we should have won, no question. A win could have taken us above Arsenal, instead we're now a point behind them, guess who we're playing next?

Will be a pretty good game next week I guess.

You thrown 2 points in the toilet today.
=====================
Yes you are right.
That is why we are so happy.
Nobody took anything from us.
They couldn't because we were too good.
We had to gift them the goals.
This was our best performance for ages.
