City 2-3 Reds: A remarkable Sunday afternoon

Following last Saturday's win at Goodison and Tuesday's impressive dismissal of PSV, the media talk of Liverpool being genuine title challengers this season was always going to set us up for a fall and that looked to be the case after 45 minutes today.

But perhaps now we really can believe because another amazing comeback and by far the most impressive this season has underlined just how good Liverpool are at the moment.

It's even more impressive when you consider that it came against the self proclaimed richest club in the world, Manchester City who some said would take our place in the top four. (It turns out to be Hull CIty who are gracing the Champions League places, taking the place of the other Manchester side.)

Granted City have been far from impressive in recent games and are not the finished article but it is still no mean feat to come from 2-0 down away from home in the league and manage to win.

My disillusionment with our first half performance meant I took my time to go and watch the second half thus missing the Zabaleta sending off and Torres's first goal.

But the qualiser from El Nino was quality. For once a perfect corner from Stevie Gerrard and a wonderful glancing header from our number nine. It's fair to say we don't get enough of those.

Skrtel's injury looked pretty bad judging by the pain on his face and we await the verdict.

But even his departure, leaving both sides with ten men, having used all our subs, could not stop Liverpool's relentless second half pressure. And it paid dividends with Kuyt's first league goal in eleven months. It could not have come at a better or later time. Three points in the bag.

Now there will be even more talk of a title challenge but with the international break coming up, we can just savour our position at joint top with Chelsea and look forward to some big games in the winter months.

It's a period that will likely determine whether or not we're in the mix at the back end of the season, as it did last season.

But it's looking good, I have to say, really good.
