There has to be a marked improvement on this display from City in the return leg or they will be heading out of two cup competitions this month, and Liverpool will have a League Cup final against either Cardiff City or Crystal Palace.
-
There was a distinct lack of adventure from Liverpool, who had six defenders on the pitch towards the end of the game. But Kenny Dalglish will tell you it's half-time and Liverpool are in front.
-
A professional performace from Liverpool, who got exactly what they came for - a one-goal advantage to take back to Anfield two weeks tonight.
