Referee Clattenburg blew the whistle for the game and Liverpool kicked off first.

After Liverpool's kick-off, Manchester City's side pressed quickly.

The ball went to the back of Liverpool, Mignolet hit the right side of Manchester City with a big foot, Sturridge beat Walker to fight for the top successfully, Joe Allen got the second point, Wanya immediately grabbed the speed and put Joe Allen down, Liverpool got the front set-piece, and Manchester City's first high post defense failed.

Manchester City's defensive attitude is positive, while Liverpool's defensive attitude is similarly unconservative.

Manchester City is also trying to do more control on the field, it should be said that the effect is still good, the first few minutes passed, Manchester City gradually controlled the situation a little, Rodgers's Liverpool is naturally not the kind of opponent with a tendon, seeing that the control is inferior, they are not in a hurry, harassing in the front, retreating quickly, and definitely not giving Manchester City a chance to counterattack quickly.

Wen Sheng is more satisfied with the current situation, the way he wants the team to go today is to take the control flow, Dzeko's speed is slow, and the strategy of defending in the high position is not very suitable for him, but it is the positional battle that can make good use of Dzeko's fulcrum, and his form in the last two games has also shown obvious signs of recovery.

Wen Sheng tried to break the opponent through positional warfare, but he did not achieve it, and was first blocked by Liverpool in the midfield, Rodgers was very targeted in his defensive strategy, and their players themselves were not bad in ability, rarely passing to the back after breaking the ball, and wanted to take the wings on the wings.

In the 8th minute, De Bruyne's midfield breakthrough was broken, and Henderson immediately distributed the ball to the side to Sterling, and the England international was cleared by teenager Sterling.

'Raheem Sterling dribbled forward quickly..... Kompany is over, a precise sliding tackle! Very beautiful, he stopped Sterling's further advance! ”

"Kompany is reminding Hills that he seems to be telling them to watch out for Sterling's defence, this breakthrough is too dangerous, Sterling's last move is a bit too big and deviates from his control, otherwise with his speed, Kompany will be difficult to defend!" Martin Taylor analyzed for the fans.

"It seems that Manchester City needs to pay attention to Liverpool's counter-attacking speed, Sears' comprehensive ability is very good, but he is too high, once Liverpool gets the opportunity to counterattack, Sterling will cause a lot of trouble for Manchester City!" Taylor gave Sterling a very good rating.

The 3S combination is certainly not in vain.

In contrast, Costa's attack has encountered some trouble, his style after holding the ball is to dribble as a blasting point, but Manchester City's side is mainly positional warfare, when the ball reaches his feet, he always tries to break through the Liverpool player's bag on him, the success rate is too low, after all, the manpower is tight, he can break through on the wing, and there are not many options in the direction.

However, Wen Sheng still has enough patience with him, and it is very important for him to have a fighting spirit in this game, Costa has a good fighting spirit, and one or two successes are likely to cause Liverpool big problems.

In the 12th minute, Manchester City finally did a beautiful penetration operation in the front, Dzeko returned to De Bruyne, De Bruyne's powerful shot in the big penalty area was blocked by Mignolet's quick reaction, and Manchester City missed a great opportunity!

"Beautiful save!" Martin Taylor couldn't help but applaud Mignolet, De Bruyne's shot in the dense defensive area was indeed a bit hasty, but the angle of power was there, but it was still within Mignolet's coverage, and it was Mignolet's reaction that was tested.

Mignolet was clearly focused and didn't get knocked down by this hasty shot.

Wen Sheng has some regrets, Liverpool's defense is very well organized, playing for so many minutes, Manchester City actually only has 2 shots on goal, De Bruyne has the best opportunity this time, of course, it is also the reason for his personal ability, changing other people's shooting routes may not be as accurate as him!

The change of tempo of the game came in the 16th minute, when Liverpool took advantage of the positional battle to attack, Suarez withdrew to the outside of the box and played a clever pass to Sturridge, who slotted into the six-yard box and fired a low shot from a tight angle, the ball burrowed under Hart's crotch and into the Manchester City net.

Manchester City's proud defense was actually penetrated by the opponent like this, and Walker, who was carefully selected by Wensheng, was very responsible, he didn't realize Sturridge's insertion, or he didn't stop it at all, and he couldn't imagine that Suarez would pass such a ball with his back to him!

"Wonderful fit! The goal came from the tacit understanding between Suarez and Sturridge, who didn't waste his chance! Liverpool lead Manchester City 1-0 away from home! Taylor also pointed out the key to Sturridge's goal after his passionate commentary.

Tacit understanding, because of this kind of clever tacit understanding, created this goal!

Wen Sheng also felt helpless, Suarez's pass was also beyond his expectations, blame Kompany, it's really hard to blame, Kompany's focus must be to prevent Suarez from turning, but Suarez used his heel to pass the ball directly.

The route is impeccable and the timing is impeccable!

Rodgers was excited, but he didn't show it in his body movements, his record against Wensheng was not very good, so Wensheng has always been his target to catch up, and it is a good thing to be able to lead at Manchester City's home stadium, but he also knows that he may have to face Manchester City's storm next, and the opponent will definitely not be able to rely on possession to attack slowly.

It looks like Liverpool are in an absolutely underweight position, Suarez's pass is a stroke of genius, but what does it matter, the important thing is that his team is ahead, and the pitch is not just about giving full play to the brilliance of the players.

Rogers was disappointed, Wen Sheng did not make a change, on the contrary, through Wen Sheng's words and gestures on the sidelines, Rogers knew that Wen Sheng was not in a hurry!

Of course, Wen Sheng is not in a hurry, but feels that controlling the control at the moment is still the safest plan, only one goal behind, and Liverpool's defense from this season so far, in fact, is not so reliable, Wen Sheng decided to give the team time in the first half to implement the control flow of positional tactics, if the first half can not equalize, the second half Manchester City must make a change.

Speed up the tempo and play against Liverpool, he believes that Rodgers must be happy to see that situation, more ball exchanges, means that Liverpool will get more opportunities, and Liverpool itself has any weaknesses Brenders is very clear, he will put the treasure on his own attack, will bet on Suarez and others, so that when the time comes, it will be up to who has a sharper attack.

Speaking of pre-game, the media generally believed that this was a spear-to-spear war, Taylor also thought so, how strong Manchester City's attack is, the data speaks for itself, Manchester United, Arsenal and other opponents have been beaten into a sieve by them, Liverpool's defense is worse than these two teams, Rodgers will not recognize this, and must be more inclined to rely on their own attack, but who would have thought that Manchester City and Liverpool have started offensive and defensive drills since the beginning of the game, and Liverpool has honestly fought back, and the effect is not bad!
