Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamman has lamented the first-half performance of the Reds in their 2-2 draw with Manchester City on Sunday. City majorly dominated the first-half and took the lead on two occasions.Kevin De Bruyne swept home a fine opener in the sixth minute with Liverpool failing to get a foothold in the game. But they then pounced, as they usually do, on the break with Diogo Jota placing home Trent Alexander-Arnold's pull back.Still, the Reds never really got going and Gabriel Jesus captialised on Alexander-Arnold's lapse in concentration at the stroke of half-time to give Manchester City the lead.Jurgen Klopp's side showed huge improvement in the second half and Sadio Mane's immediate equalizer after the break was what saw the game finish 2-2.Hamman has taken issue with Klopp's team's first-half performance, claiming it was like watching a major mismatch in boxing. He wrote on Twitter:"City sublime in first half (against Liverpool). Like a lightweight fighting a heavyweight."Didi Hamann@DietmarHamannCity sublime in first half. @LFC like a lightweight fighting a heavyweight5:30 PM · Apr 10, 202210119City sublime in first half. @LFC like a lightweight fighting a heavyweightIronically, Klopp told SkySports following the match that it was like a boxing fight with both sides looking to capitalize on any mistake from the opponent (via Evening Standard).“We can describe this as like a boxing fight. If you had your arms down for a second, you get a massive knock, you shake a little bit and then it comes from the other team."He continued to explain the tug-of-war the two sides encountered on a day where Premier League title implications were at stake:“I liked a lot of things. When we played football and controlled the game, we played simple passes and were really dangerous. When we tried to breathe a little bit, they came back. A great game, and a result we have to live with and can."Sky Sports Premier League@SkySportsPL🗣️"What a game... 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃!"
