Almost kick off time. Big game in the race for 4th.
00:01 Here we go. Come on red men! ^JD
06:00 Bright start from the reds. Agger and Skrtel could be a set piece threat.
07:45 Gerrard looking good. Two fantastic crosses that just lacked the final touch
RT @bobanddan: LFC must get a draw. A win would be wonderous, but at least a draw. Huge fixture this morning.
12:40 This is a very positive start from Liverpool. Even Insua creating space.
22:00 Come on Ryan, we’re playing in red 😉 Still 0-0
39:00 Liverpool gone off the boil a little bit. Mascherano on a yellow now.
40:28 Nando warming up on the touchline. Great reception from the reds inside the ground. It’s been too long Fernando..
43:30 Decent corner from Gerrard, Skrtel rises, but puts the ball wide.
45:00 Gerrard also picks up a yellow card in trying to hunt down the ball.
HT: 0-0. Started well, ended a bit messy. What’s your half time thoughts?
RT @cannizzaro: @Liverpool_FC We were poor with our passing and control. Big improvement needed in 2nd half. ^JD
RT @princesscouser: @liverpool_fc brightest part of our first half was Nando warming up on touchline! – Probably right there. ^JD
45:01 Here we go. Second half underway at Eastlands ^JD
48:17 Good corner from Man City, Adebayor lurking but a good clean catch from Reina.
53:00 Babel down on the ground. Taken a ball in the face. One of his best headers actually.
62:43 Liverpool sub. Yossi returns after 7 weeks out, replacing Rodriguez.
66:56 Ex red Bellamy on for Wright-Phillips.
75:01 Babel Off… Torres ON.
79:12 Fantastic tackle from Skrtel. Adebayor looked clean through after Skrtel initially made a mistake.
86:10 Aquilani on for Kuyt….
90:01 5 minutes injury time coming up. Still 0-0 if you’re just joining.
92:00 Ref just given Torres the reds 6th yellow card. For a shoulder barge. Absolute joke of a ref.
FT: 0-0. Man City and Liverpool both poor and lacking in invention. Surprised Man City as the home side opted for one up front.
What the fans said on Twitter
colinmercer: @Liverpool_FC Poor, no ideas on how to break down the Man City back line…
nickolarse: @Liverpool_FC giving the ball away to easily, to many nervous moments lacking anybody with quality. Shi**ing myself.
princesscouser: @liverpool_fc brightest part of our first half was Nando warming up on touchline!
BrianHugh: @Liverpool_FC Schoolboy football!!! Too many errors…. Gerrard looking like the incredible Sulk again….. Release the Torres!!!
fionndavenport: @Liverpool_FC Maxi just not up to speed. All well & good building from back but Gerrard looks forlorn and lonely.
matt4dsaviour: @Liverpool_fc Some players look shaky and we are giving away possession cheaply
jim_pennington: @Liverpool_FC Reina is the lord…..rejoice and be glad!
jim_pennington: @Liverpool_FC Yossi AND Nando…..just how it’s supposed to be.
CAuggoYaDig: @Liverpool_FC zero people on the team could pass today. Mascherano I think was the only who completed a pass longer than right next 2 him
samhines: @Liverpool_FC I’m happy with the point, and having Torres and Benayoun is big. Skrtel was brilliant as well.
lobby_bo: @Liverpool_FC boring game… I’m so disappointed -.-
