Hits & Misses: Anderson and Wirtz offering opposite value for money

Anderson showing why he is worth every penny Manchester City's siege mentality won out at Liverpool. Their quality with a man over telling, if not quite so obvious when both sides had a full complement of players for an hour of the game.

Absolutely everything good about City in their 3-0 win was summed up by the classy performance of Elliot Anderson. Not for the first time since his mega-money move from Nottingham Forest, the midfielder's mastery on the ball was matched by his maturity off it.

A "bargain" at £116m, according to Jamie Carragher, every bit capable, in his own way, of exerting as much control and influence on games as Rodri did in this role.
