Thre-easy win for City
Manchester City eased their way to 4th place in the league with a three nil drubbing of Liverpool. The season was looking good for Liverpool, with the signings of Jovanovic, Cole and Poulsen but in this 2nd game of theirs they look to be un-settled. In James Milner's first game for City he certainly settled in well, an early assist for scorer Barry then a fantastic game after that too. City went two up on the 52nd minute, Tevez's goal (we think?!) a header by Micah Richard's from a James Milner corner that Tevez seemed to get a touch on went through Reina's legs. A few strikes from Steven Gerrard were almost all for the traveling fans to smile about as the Man City side played the Scousers off the pitch. Liverpool's best chance of the game proved why keeper Joe Hart may be good enough to squeeze into City's number one shirt before others which include Taylor and of course (for me) the legendary Shay Given. Dirk Kuyt stumbled over his feet in the box but managed to stay up and get a shot on target which was well pushed away by Hart but straight into Torres' path who shot and yet again a phenomenal save by Joe Hart, one of the best I've seen in quite a while. Precisely seven minutes later Adam Johnson, who was my man of the match, made a blinding run down the wing and eventually brought down in the box by Martin Skrtel. City captain Carlos Tevez stepped up to take the penalty and finished it well into the top left-hand corner, leaving no chance for Spaniard Pepe Reina who has now conceded 4 in 2. Tevez was eventually replaced by, stranger, Jo. Jo whom we haven't seen in a long while didn't have a lot to do and after two added minutes this encounter ended. Manchester City 3 Liverpool 0. And quickly some transfer news. Real Madrid's signing of Mesut Ozil has been completed for a fee of 15 million euro's (not too much over 10 million pounds) this signing meaning that Dutchman Rafeal Van Der Vaart could be on his way to the theatre of dreams to play for European giants Manchester United.
