It's quite simple. You just press the ever living feck out of their defenders and midfielders. And then hope you can survive the onslaught in the last 20 minutes of the game. The onslaught hasn't arrived yet, but Liverpool are doing the first bit perfectly. More times NEED this approach against city. It's worked every time it's been done, even by Wolves and Wigan.

Keep saying that
it's still too early to call this tie, a goal from city and they would be favourite for the reverse fixture. but if liverpool progress, Madrid would be the team that could do them. Barça would play straight into their hand, like City are doing right now.
What is it about poo being a different animal in Europe.They are pretty good at home in Europe.
Loving Liverpools attack
Then when they win it you will be crying yourself to sleep with the rest of us.
They need to go out asap. We all remember 2005
Spot on. They have gotten used to teams sitting back. This is so unfamiliar to them
So open this. End to end.
True. Their style of pressing is too much for City. The best way to beat them is the way we did at OT without a doubt. We didn't allow them to do what they wanted so we took control of the game that way. Pep sometimes is too arrogant for his own good. There's no problem with adapting your style for one off games against Liverpool but he insists on passing from the back.
Didn't we just beat Liverpool and their unbelievable press?
How do you say Pep Guardiola in your native tongue?
In Polish it's 'fecking fraudski'.

It's OK, I'm sure they'll sort that out by the weekend
Sane playing like an inexperienced 22 year old
City are all over the place. Very impressive so far from Liverpool.
Yeah, I remember reading something like that here about Manchester City being the best team in Europe heads and shoulders above the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern and Barcelona.
L'pool fans, do you want the 3rd goal? You know what I meant
And the reverse?
Klopp hasn't had a Liverpool player score a goal in open play against us as of yet. Im sure your praise will be fair and balanced.
We did.
Love it. I really don't like Peps luxury football. Feck him and city. Go reds.
really happy with this. Feck city and feck Pep!This Liverpool side is getting to the final I reckon. It feels like one of them seasons.
Be careful what you wish for, folks.

2-0
Ox
Ox's touch there from Milner? smashing it at him is pretty impressive. Helluva strike
Surely in that scenario, Liverpool are Juventus? Seeing as Juve were the ones who took an early 2 goal lead at home?
Klopp has got this absolutely spot on so far. City need to keep it to two for the inevitable slow down that will happen later on in the match.
Alexander Arnold has a great cross in him
How did Alan Pardew get a draw in the league and a win in the FA Cup against Liverpool at Anfield?!?!
I have no idea why some people here want Liverpool to progress. Have you forgotten 2005 or 2012? It doesn't matter if the opposition is strong on paper. Once you are in the semi final you have a decent chance to win the competition.
Throw some more oil money around, Pep. You useless manager. When you want City to win, they manage to make things go tits up.
City look broken
TAA has had Sane in his pocket so far.
Only to lose to Sevilla again? I'd pay to see that pan out.
Abysmal so far. We could be out of the tie at this rate. Pathetic, balls falling out of our pants soon as we go a goal down.
3-0!!! FFS
Quite comfortably too, if I recall correctly.
Liverpool do have that one mistake defensively in them though.
Shite
3-0
3-0
It does expose the rest of the PL.
jeeeez
