After almost six weeks without domestic football, City came out on top in an Etihad Stadium thriller on Thursday night.

That proves how his focus was on the final ball, not necessarily being part of the build up from deeper. [Download the Man City app](https://www.mancity.com/app) Last night we completed 505 of them in comparison to Liverpool's 359. [Pep Guardiola](https://www.mancity.com/players/pep-guardiola) described him [as a City star in the making](https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/pep-guardiola-liverpool-post-match-press-conference-63807348) in his post-match press conference. However, the Blues had 18 total shots creating an xG of 2.30.

[De Bruyne](https://www.mancity.com/players/kevin-de-bruyne) already stationed high up the pitch to focus on making the vital final pass. [De Bruyne](https://www.mancity.com/players/kevin-de-bruyne) didn't enjoy the best World Cup with Belgium but if his performance in this one is anything to go by, that's nothing for City fans to worry about.

[Erling Haaland](https://www.mancity.com/players/erling-haaland) and Riyad [Mahrez](https://www.mancity.com/players/riyad-mahrez) twice put us in the lead only to see those advantages wiped out by Liverpool's Fabio Carvalho and Mo Salah.

“The positioning of De Bruyne and Gundogan, in combination with Palmer and Mahrez, gave us some problems,” Klopp explained. In another attack where Liverpool’s midfield three are focused on closing down the City midfield, Gundogan’s positioning attracts Milner, leaving Palmer (yellow) free on the left. An inaccurate pass falls to Thiago instead… In that game, their 4-4-2 shape without the ball made it harder for City to access their No 10s. Part of that was because of [Alisson](https://theathletic.com/football/player/alisson-tnsx3VLvny2hiY7b/)’s important saves, and the other part was due to Liverpool’s best performance off the ball this season. [Mohamed Salah](https://theathletic.com/football/player/mohamed-salah-NuvaNMBabDgYuJtn/)’s attempt to block the passing lane to Gundogan opens up the wide pass towards [Nathan Ake](https://theathletic.com/football/player/nathan-ake-De0rOaW2Cm5Mw60m/)… [Riyad Mahrez](https://theathletic.com/football/player/riyad-mahrez-rB15S0ScflIMYDkL/) and [Cole Palmer](https://theathletic.com/football/player/cole-palmer-bho5fd6Swb9J2FH8/) pinning back the full-backs, and allowing De Bruyne and Gundogan to receive freely. [Erling Haaland](https://theathletic.com/football/player/erling-haaland-UqdITFAwdmIrBQfd/) attacks that space to meet [Manuel Akanji](https://theathletic.com/football/player/manuel-akanji-Yp2KW0dxtNBRNgBB/)’s pass behind the defence, with Gundogan and Palmer (highlighted yellow below) overloading Milner on the far side. “You never know exactly what will happen.” [Rico Lewis](https://theathletic.com/football/player/rico-lewis-R6rUa4WaxAceB9Be/) moved inside next to [Rodri](https://theathletic.com/football/player/rodri-UhisEcoXihIhvXgn/) as [Kevin De Bruyne](https://theathletic.com/football/player/kevin-de-bruyne-TX7pFeb0aiHzuvjI/) and [Ilkay Gundogan](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ilkay-gundogan-wa63bpNErRmj5JpN/) positioned themselves behind Liverpool’s midfield to make it a four-versus-three in the centre of the pitch. [James Milner](https://theathletic.com/football/player/james-milner-I98QkCY4xQxQGloS/) or [Andrew Robertson](https://theathletic.com/football/player/andrew-robertson-6Zgt27hvP7NODgov/) decided to move up towards Gundogan or De Bruyne, City simply played a direct ball in to Palmer or Mahrez.
