Man City vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Reds take advantage in title race with comfortable win

"Everyone knows that a part will be here next season for the older players but we have to build for the next step. There is a question of time.

“Even with the amount of absences we have, we played well. They break the lines and can break behind you. They really threaten but we bring them there and all we missed is that in the final third, it depends on the talent to dribble or shoot in the right moment. From there, we build for the future.

"We are far away. We will see in the future. What we have done in previous seasons is good but now we are away from them. We played with personality which was really good."

"If you lose, you have to lose the way we lost today. I saw many things that this club has a bright future with the players that we have.

"Except Kevin De Bruyne and maybe Nathan Ake, all the players are so, so young.

“What the club decides next for the future, there is a bright future for this club in the next years.”

"I can't be bothered talking about him to be honest! No, he's been unbelievable.

"A set piece routine worked, which is pleasing. Everyone had a role to play and Mo got the glory of putting it in the back of the net. Another goal and assist.

"His work rate going back the other way was unbelievable today, him and Lucho [Diaz] and that was key to us keeping a clean sheet.

"He is on a different world right now and playing out of his skin. We are very happy to have him, that's for sure."

"We played very good. Maybe we missed more productivity in the shots but we played against a fantastic team. Maybe at the start it was 50-50 and we could not convert.

"Second half they defended very deep. We have done something we have not tried for many games which was we brought them to their box and tried to beat them there.

"The tactic was to arrive in the final third and the byline and it happened a lot but we did not score. We missed the next bit a little bit and with crosses it is almost impossible to do it because of their size. We could not find the next step."

"Three days ago we had a draw at Villa and people told me we weren't in a good place and then three days later we win and it changes again. We work every single day to achieve this and it is three months of very hard work to maintain this.

"There is no secret. We are 11 points clear but Arsenal has one game in hand. The best attack we had didn't end in a goal. You always have to adapt to the challenge you have. A week ago we experienced how difficult Wolves at home was. They will always be difficult games, like today.

"It is easier for us to not get excited because we know what we have to put in. This result was more about defence than attack. It is normal for fanbases to be positive and it is important to understand why we are where we are."

"We as a group of people look at how the set-up is, and someone came up with a brilliant plan and we knew that space could be there. The deflection was so helpful because it wasn't as if we were dominating the game.

"The first half played out better for them than for us, apart from the score. I don't think they had too many big chances but it felt like they were going to score. A lot in the second half, I can't remember them having a big chance.

"Ideally, we have the ball more than the other team. But City when it comes to ball possession, they like it a lot and are so comfortable on the ball. The only chance you have to win here is to defend very well."

"By scoring a set-piece.

“If you want to win a big game you need a neutral set-piece balance or to score one and not concede.

“We kept them away from big chances because we made sure they didn't create as much as they normally do."

"To be fair if I look at the game I don't think that they were much better than us. Two goals, one set piece and the second goal was a long ball, so well done to them.

“We know their qualities and that they like to play in behind. They did well and after it is hard to come back against a team that defends well like that.

"We played well but the situations that we had we could have dealt better with them. Today we played better against them than we did away.

“Of course there is a gap in points but today you can't say that they ran over us."

"We tried. I had a lot of attacking situations but after the two goals that they scored they played very deep.

“They defended very well and then played on the counter attack so it was hard for us to find spaces. Some game are like that. We just have to keep on going and take the good things from the game.

"It is a good question because I passed him [Alexander-Arnold] a lot of times but it was then the final pass or I don't know.

“The most important thing after passing is to create something from it, and I played some good balls in front of the goal but we have to score.

“We have to analyse the game and see what I can do better and what we can do better as a team."
