Which banners did Liverpool fans display at Anfield against Man City?

What the report says
Liverpool supporters staged a highly charged display at Anfield during Manchester City’s visit on October 11, 2026, in a match that followed City’s guilty finding over Premier League financial-rule breaches. According to Al Jazeera, the atmosphere was hostile but largely confined to chants, banners and mockery inside the stadium, after City’s team bus was brought in through a different entrance than usual.
The most prominent messages targeted City’s disciplinary case. Fans held up a long banner calling the club “cheats,” with the letter “e” replaced by the British pound sign repeated many times, a visual reference to the allegations around commercial deals and finances. Other signs used pointed wordplay and references to the club’s success during the period under scrutiny.
Several banners also borrowed from Oasis lyrics, a nod to lead singer Liam Gallagher’s well-known support for Manchester City. Al Jazeera said Liverpool fans adapted lines from songs including Stop Crying Your Heart Out and Where Did It All Go Wrong? to taunt the visitors. The article also noted that City fans responded with inflatable bananas in the away section, adding their own layer of rivalry.
The exchange showed how the Premier League’s off-field disciplinary dispute had spilled into a major matchday rivalry. More broadly, it underlined how football supporters often use banners and chants to turn legal and sporting controversies into public spectacle, especially in high-profile fixtures like Liverpool against Manchester City.
