If Pep Guardiola, Liverpool celebrated against me, I would have ended up with a 10-match ban

It was always a great challenge to beat Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.

The end result was not a huge surprise to many fans given recent performances, but we started the away game very well for a change with Mohamed Salah scoring the first goal. Much was made of Erling Haaland's defeat before the match, but that changed little in the end as Julián Álvarez impressed. I think Jurgen was too brave to play both of them in midfield, which ultimately backfired as they continued to play one-on-one against Robertson and Trent while we pressured their defense to keep them from coming out.

City continued to gain ground in the second half and when they scored both goals early in the break it was the end of the game. One of the goals they scored was around 20 passes and not a single entryLiverpoolthe player entered. They walked in which almost shows where we are.

City spent billions of pounds as a club so we knew it was going to be a challenging competition. There's a reason they're where they are, that's what makes money. But for all his qualities, we made Jack Grealish look like Lionel Messi. He's certainly not close to that. It's not just quality that separates Messi and Grealish, only one of them doesn't fall to the ground when he's taken down. When you're that good, and for £100m you should be, you can ruin your reputation by constantly finding fault. I have to say that Gakpo should have been booked for that too, because that's not possible. We are better than that.

Liverpool striker stays hot but late drama thwarts win

Layton Stewart's run in front of goal wasn't enough to secure victory for Liverpool Under-21s, as they could only manage a 2-2 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion in Premier League 2.

After a cautious first half at the academy, the visitors took the lead minutes after the restart when Andy Moran was well positioned to capitalize on a sketchy Liverpool defense and convert from close range.

However, the young Reds reacted strongly when Harvey Blair restored the equalizer shortly afterwards and converted a low cross from Ben Doak.
