Manchester City's seven shots against Liverpool was their lowest in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium since February 2010, also against Liverpool
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's intentions could not have been more obviously positive - but there will be little doubt he will be happier with a draw at Etihad Stadium than his Manchester City counterpart Pep Guardiola.
Klopp left the game's biggest selection question hanging in the air when asked would he pick the tried and trusted Roberto Firmino or in-form £45m signing Diogo Jota after his Champions League hat-trick against Atalanta.
When the teamsheet dropped it prompted raised eyebrows as Klopp plumped for Jota. And Firmino. And Mohamed Salah. And Sadio Mane. It was, when Liverpool sprung forward, a genuine four-man forward line.
In this battle between the Premier League's two most recent superpowers, it flummoxed City early on, bringing Salah's successful penalty before Guardiola got a handle on Liverpool's tactics, Gabriel Jesus equalising before Kevin de Bruyne missed a penalty.
The recent heavy programme, a Champions League midweek and a persistent Manchester downpour slowly reduced the energy and quality before both Manchester City and Liverpool settled for a 1-1 draw.
It will have left both Guardiola and Klopp feeling less than fully satisfied, City's manager because victory over Liverpool is always both a valuable psychological and footballing blow in the title equation and the latter because it meant his side could not leapfrog Leicester City at the Premier League summit.

Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool: Pep Guardiola reveals discussion with Jurgen Klopp
Guardiola will hardly be disconsolate, although De Bruyne's missed spot-kick will irk him. This already looks like the sort of title race where seatbelts should be fastened for the twists and turns to come.
Manchester City have not been at their best so far this season but do not be fooled by that 11th place in the Premier League table.
Guardiola and his players will rightly feel they have a huge chance to reclaim their title amid the chaos and unpredictability that may well envelop this season, but his brow will have been rather more furrowed than Klopp's.
The German will have been delighted that for all Liverpool's attacking riches, and he started with plenty of them, there is also a stubborn streak of steel, organisation and resilience that makes them so difficult to beat on these big occasions.
Liverpool's manager likes to win every game at every level every time. He knows, despite his great successes and the arrival of the Champions League and the first Premier League title in 30 years at Anfield, this cannot be done.

Last updated on .From the section Premier League Ollie Watkins said it was `` unbelievable '' to score against the team he supports as his double helped Aston Villa claim an impressive victory at Arsenal to move up to sixth in the Premier League .
Watkins , who scored a hat-trick in a 7-2 win against champions Liverpool earlier this season , made it 2-0 with a header towards the end of the second half and scored his second soon after , slotting the ball under Bernd Leno after a quick break .

Last updated on .From the section Premier League
Ollie Watkins said it was "unbelievable" to score against the team he supports as his double helped Aston Villa claim an impressive victory at Arsenal to move up to sixth in the Premier League.
The visitors took the lead midway through the first half when Bukayo Saka turned Matt Targett's cross into his own net.
Watkins, who scored a hat-trick in a 7-2 win against champions Liverpool earlier this season, made it 2-0 with a header towards the end of the second half and scored his second soon after, slotting the ball under Bernd Leno after a quick break.
"As an Arsenal fan to score here at the Emirates is unbelievable," Watkins told BBC Radio 5 live.
The 24-year-old, who has now scored six goals this season, added: "I think I have another level.
"In the second half you saw what I'm about, getting the ball, setting and spinning and making defenders run towards their own goal - hopefully the more I can do that the more goals I can score."
The Gunners had gone into this game looking to build on their impressive 1-0 win against Manchester United last time out, but despite dominating possession they created very little, with Alexandre Lacazette going closest when he headed over Kieran Tierney's cross.
Instead, it was Villa who always looked the most likely to score and they could have won by an even bigger margin.
Arsenal 0-3 Aston Villa: The way we lost really hurts - Arteta
The visitors had a goal ruled out inside the first minute when John McGinn thumped home Jack Grealish's cross.
However, after a lengthy check by the video assistant referee, it was ruled out as Ross Barkley, who was in an offside position, was adjudged to have been in goalkeeper Leno's way.
Egypt midfielder Trezeguet forced a good save from Leno early in the second half before the Arsenal keeper denied Grealish at the near post with a strong hand, while the Aston Villa captain also had an effort cleared off the line.
Defeat leaves an inconsistent Arsenal 11th in the table while the win maintained Villa's 100% away record so far this season.
Villa back to their best after mini-slump
Villa made a superb start to this season with a run of four successive wins that included eye-catching victories against Liverpool and Leicester.
Back-to-back defeats against Leeds and Southampton - games in which they conceded a total of seven goals - raised concerns that their excellent start may have been a false dawn, but this performance will have significantly eased some of those fears.
Boss Dean Smith said before kick-off that he believed the team he had put out possessed the attacking quality to hurt Arsenal and so it proved, particularly in the second half when they looked capable of scoring with every break.
Villa have now won five of their seven games so far this season and having taken some significant scalps already, there is every reason for their fans to be optimistic.
'Well organised' Villa made it tough for Arsenal - Smith
"Coming here is tough, we knew we had to be at our best without the ball," said Smith.
"What pleased me the most was we could've scored more. We created some great chances from our ball carrying skills with Jack Grealish and Ross Barkley and Trezequet and Ollie Watkins' non-stop running."
Misfiring Arsenal pay the price
Lacazette had one of Arsenal's better chances
This defeat will prove particularly concerning for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who appeared to have rectified issues with a defence that conceded goals far too easily last season.
Going into the match they boasted the Premier League's best defence, having conceded just seven goals in seven games, and it was the Gunners' struggles at the other end of the pitch that Arteta would have been hoping to see an improvement in.
But once again the hosts lacked creativity and managed just two shots on target all game, neither of which posed any real danger to their former goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
As pleasing as the performance in the 1-0 win against Manchester United was, this result underlined Arsenal's attacking problems when the defence has an off day.
Villa part of an elite club - the stats
Aston Villa have won each of their first three away league games in a season for the first time in their history.
This was Arsenal's worst home league defeat since December 2019 versus Manchester City (also 3-0).
Only Chelsea (five) have won more away league games than Aston Villa (four) at the Emirates Stadium.
Aston Villa are the third side in Premier League history to win each of their first three away games in a season without conceding a goal, after Chelsea in 2005-06 and Manchester City in 2015-16.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failed to take a single shot today - it is the first time he's played the full 90 minutes in a home Premier League match for Arsenal without attempting a shot.
Ollie Watkins has scored six goals in seven games for Aston Villa in the Premier League this season - only Dean Saunders (seven) and Dion Dublin (nine) have ever netted more in their first seven appearances for Villa in the competition.
Aged 19 years and 64 days, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka became the fourth-youngest player to score an own goal in the Premier League, and youngest since Southampton's Martin Cranie in May 2004 (17 years, 218 days versus Chelsea).
Aston Villa's Jack Grealish has been directly involved in nine league goals this season (four goals and five assists) - only Spurs pair Harry Kane (15) and Son Heung-min (10) have been involved in more Premier League goals.
What next?

Covid vaccine: First 'milestone' vaccine offers 90% protection Published 9 November 2020

The first effective coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19, a preliminary analysis shows.
The developers - Pfizer and BioNTech - described it as a "great day for science and humanity".
Their vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns have been raised.
The companies plan to apply for emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month.
No vaccine has gone from the drawing board to being proven highly effective in such a short period of time.
There are still huge challenges ahead, but the announcement has been warmly welcomed with scientists describing themselves smiling "ear to ear" and some suggesting life could be back to normal by spring.
"I am probably the first guy to say that, but I will say that with some confidence," said Sir John Bell, regius professor of medicine at Oxford University.
How effective could it be?
A vaccine - alongside better treatments - is seen as the best way of getting out of the restrictions that have been imposed on all our lives.
The data shows that two doses, three weeks apart, are needed. The trials - in US, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and Turkey - show 90% protection is achieved seven days after the second dose.
However, the data presented is not the final analysis as it is based on only the first 94 volunteers to develop Covid so the precise effectiveness of the vaccine may change when the full results are analysed.
Dr Albert Bourla, the chairman of Pfizer, said: "We are a significant step closer to providing people around the world with a much-needed breakthrough to help bring an end to this global health crisis."
Prof Ugur Sahin, one of the founders of BioNTech, described the results as a "milestone".
This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Media caption, Sarah Montague reacted with excitement upon hearing Professor Bell's views on the significance of today's vaccine news
When will the vaccine be available?
A limited number of people may get the vaccine this year.
Pfizer and BioNTech say they will have enough safety data by the third week of November to take their vaccine to regulators.
Until it has been approved it will not be possible for countries to begin their vaccination campaigns.
The two companies say they will be able to supply 50 million doses by the end of this year and around 1.3 billion by the end of 2021. Each person needs two doses.
The UK should get 10 million doses by the end of the year, with a further 30 million doses already ordered.
Who would get it?
Not everyone will get the vaccine straight away and countries are each deciding who should be prioritised.
Hospital staff and care home workers will be near the top of every list because of the vulnerable people they work with, as will the elderly who are most at risk of severe disease.
The UK is likely to prioritise older resident in care homes and the people that work there.
But it says a final decision has not been made, saying it will depend on how well the vaccine works in different age-groups and how the virus is spreading.
People under 50 and with no medical problems are likely to be last in the queue.
Are there any potential problems?
There are still many unanswered questions as this is only interim data.
We do not know if the vaccine stops you spreading the virus or just from developing symptoms. Or if it works equally well in high-risk elderly people.
The biggest question - how long does immunity last - will take months or potentially years to answer.
There are also massive manufacturing and logistical challenges in immunising huge numbers of people, as the vaccine has to be kept in ultra-cold storage at below minus 80C.
The vaccine appears safe from the large trials so far but nothing, including paracetamol, is 100% safe.
How does it work?
There are around a dozen vaccines in the final stages of testing - known as a phase 3 trial - but this is the first to show any results.
It uses a completely experimental approach - that involves injecting part of the virus's genetic code - in order to train the immune system.
Previous trials have shown the vaccine trains the body to make both antibodies - and another part of the immune system called T-cells to fight the coronavirus.
What has the reaction been?
The UK's chief medical advisor Prof Chris Whitty said the results showed the "power of science" and was a "reason for optimism" for 2021.

The US president-elect Joe Biden said it was "excellent news".
"It is also important to understand that the end of the battle against Covid-19 is still months away," he added.
The UK Prime Minister's official spokesman said the results were "promising" and that "the NHS stands ready to begin a vaccination programme for those most at risk once a Covid-19 vaccine is available".
Prof Peter Horby, from the University of Oxford, said: "This news made me smile from ear to ear.
"It is a relief... there is a long long way to go before vaccines will start to make a real difference, but this feels to me like a watershed moment."

Premier League: Why Leicester & Tottenham deserve to be top but won't win the title - Alan Shearer analysis

I still see Liverpool and Manchester City as the stand-out teams in the Premier League and think one of them will win the title - but Leicester and Tottenham might have something to say about that .
The big thing that has stood out already about this season is how unpredictable it has been compared to previous years .
Every team has had at least one bad day - including all of the sides I have just mentioned .
That makes it exciting , and I do n't see it changing anytime soon , partly because of the intense schedule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are going to have to cope with - which is turning into another common theme .
'Leicester will head for Liverpool full of confidence' It is Leicester who deservedly lead the way at the moment .
They are among the teams who have got injury problems but they are still playing some magnificent football .
I was really impressed by the Foxes in their win over Wolves on Sunday , in everything they did - going forward and defensively .
They are missing some key players in Wilfred Ndidi , Ricardo Pereira and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it from watching them .
Jamie Vardy is 33 in January but he is looking as sharp as he 's ever done - I know he missed one of his penalties against Wolves but some of his attacking play was fantastic .
Then you have Nampalys Mendy , who was unbelievably good in midfield , and what a find Wesley Fofana looks at centre-half .
Brendan Rodgers ' side have had slip-ups like everyone else , in their case losing at home to West Ham and Aston Villa last month .
But now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ straight wins in all competitions , and they will be full of confidence when they take on Liverpool at Anfield on the Premier League 's resumption after the international break .
'Spurs are unspectacular but still winning' When you 've got the forward line that Tottenham have , with Harry Kane , Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale , you always carry a threat , especially with the form Kane and Son are in .
Son did n't even have one of his better games against West Brom but it was Kane who popped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end that briefly sent his side top of the pile .
Credit has to go to Spurs boss Jose Mourinho , though , because of the positive change he made 12 minutes from time , when he took Moussa Sissoko and Bale off and brought on Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius .
That 's what won them the game in the end .
I know Harry secured the three points but it happened because Mourinho was looking to win the game , and it worked .
Spurs have now gone seven games @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home to Everton on the opening weekend in what was a poor performance .
Yes , that run includes their 6-1 win at Old Trafford but they have also shown they can win the hard way , when they are not playing well .
They dug out wins over Burnley and Brighton in the past couple of weeks and it was exactly the same against the Baggies so , without playing spectacular football , Tottenham find themselves in a great position in the table .
They actually should have more points on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ equaliser against Newcastle and somehow let that 3-0 lead slip in the final few minutes against West Ham .
Even so , they have given themselves something to build on and their game against City on 21 November is another one to look forward to .
Positives for Guardiola at the back The way City and Liverpool started on Sunday , I thought we were set for an absolute classic .
The game was incredibly open and both teams began with a very attacking line-up .
Liverpool were like a 4-2-4 when they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same .
It looked like we were going to see a lot of goals .
They both kind of cancelled each other out after half-time , though , and as the game went on it looked like the fear of being beaten meant they both settled for a point in the end .
You can understand if fatigue played a part as well , because they have both played twice a week since the start of season in mid-September , and had Champions League games again in midweek .
That 's probably a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up the pace they started the game with .
City will rue their missed penalty at 1-1 and also they had the best chance to win it in the second half , when Gabriel Jesus headed wide , but I thought a draw was a fair result .
Liverpool look more solid with Matip Sunday 's draw leaves City in 10th place but that is a false position because they have a game in hand .
If they win it , they will go fifth - two points behind Liverpool .
Pep Guardiola @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the season , with their collapse at home to Leicester and having to cope without a fit striker when Jesus and Sergio Aguero were both injured .
They have come through it pretty well , however , and one of the biggest positives for Guardiola is that Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias have already formed a solid defensive partnership , something they struggled to find last season .

This season may be unpredictable , but one of them will end it as champions , I am certain of that .
• None Can the boys track @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The biggest tracks that were never topped

I still see Liverpool and Manchester City as the standout teams in the Premier League and think one of them will win the title - but Leicester and Tottenham might have something to say about that.
Southampton also spent some time on top of the table over the weekend and it is pretty refreshing to see some different teams up there. It certainly keeps things interesting and it's something that might last a bit longer too.
The big thing that has stood out already about this season is how unpredictable it has been compared to previous years. Every team has had at least one bad day - including all of the sides I have just mentioned.
That makes it exciting, and I don't see it changing anytime soon, partly because of the intense schedule and the number of injuries that clubs are going to have to cope with - which is turning into another common theme.
'Leicester will head for Liverpool full of confidence'
Liverpool were top of the table on Friday morning but victories for Southampton and Tottenham saw them take turns in first place before Leicester leapt above them with their win over Wolves
It is Leicester who deservedly lead the way at the moment. They are among the teams who have got injury problems but they are still playing some magnificent football.
I was really impressed by the Foxes in their win over Wolves on Sunday, in everything they did - going forward and defensively.
They are missing some key players in Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira and Caglar Soyuncu but you wouldn't know it from watching them.
Jamie Vardy is 33 in January but he is looking as sharp as he's ever done - I know he missed one of his penalties against Wolves but some of his attacking play was fantastic.
Then you have Nampalys Mendy, who was unbelievably good in midfield, and what a find Wesley Fofana looks at centre-half.
'Outstanding' Leicester delight Rodgers
Brendan Rodgers' side have had slip-ups like everyone else, in their case losing at home to West Ham and Aston Villa last month.
But now they are on a run of six straight wins in all competitions, and they will be full of confidence when they take on Liverpool at Anfield on the Premier League's resumption after the international break.
'Spurs are unspectacular but still winning'
When you've got the forward line that Tottenham have, with Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale, you always carry a threat, especially with the form Kane and Son are in.
Son didn't even have one of his better games against West Brom but it was Kane who popped up with another vital goal right at the end that briefly sent his side top of the pile.
Credit has to go to Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, though, because of the positive change he made 12 minutes from time, when he took Moussa Sissoko and Bale off and brought on Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius.
That's what won them the game in the end. I know Harry secured the three points but it happened because Mourinho was looking to win the game, and it worked.
West Brom 0-1 Tottenham: Jose Mourinho praises Baggies' spirit
Spurs have now gone seven games unbeaten in the league since losing at home to Everton on the opening weekend in what was a poor performance.
Yes, that run includes their 6-1 win at Old Trafford but they have also shown they can win the hard way, when they are not playing well.
They dug out wins over Burnley and Brighton in the past couple of weeks and it was exactly the same against the Baggies so, without playing spectacular football, Tottenham find themselves in a great position in the table.
They actually should have more points on the board, but they conceded a late equaliser against Newcastle and somehow let that 3-0 lead slip in the final few minutes against West Ham.
Even so, they have given themselves something to build on and their game against City on 21 November is another one to look forward to.
Positives for Guardiola at the back

Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool: Pep Guardiola reveals discussion with Jurgen Klopp
You can understand if fatigue played a part as well, because they have both played twice a week since the start of season in mid-September, and had Champions League games again in midweek. That's probably a big reason why they could not keep up the pace they started the game with.
City will rue their missed penalty at 1-1 and also they had the best chance to win it in the second half, when Gabriel Jesus headed wide, but I thought a draw was a fair result.
Liverpool look more solid with Matip
Sunday's draw leaves City in 10th place but that is a false position because they have a game in hand. If they win it, they will go fifth - two points behind Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola's side have had an eventful start to the season, with their collapse at home to Leicester and having to cope without a fit striker when Jesus and Sergio Aguero were both injured.
They have come through it pretty well, however, and one of the biggest positives for Guardiola is that Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias have already formed a solid defensive partnership, something they struggled to find last season.
Liverpool have had issues too, mainly in adjusting to life without the injured Virgil van Dijk, but Joel Matip came back into their defence at Etihad Stadium and they looked a little bit more solid.
Their big set-back this season was obviously the 7-2 defeat against Aston Villa, which was a result that shocked everyone - but it's notable that they have not lost in seven games since.
They can still terrify teams when they pour forward and, like City, they are not going away anytime soon. This season may be unpredictable, but one of them will end it as champions, I am certain of that.

'You have to wear the consequences of your actions' - Rapinoe on taking a knee, white privilege and speaking out

Megan Rapinoe is a two-time World Cup winner , an Olympic gold medallist and the winner of the Ballon d'Or .
She is also one of the most influential voices in sport .
In 2016 , Rapinoe became the first white American athlete to take a knee during the national anthem in a show of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick .
However , that decision - a gesture of protest against racial inequality and police brutality - left her feeling as though her international career was in jeopardy .
BBC Sport spoke to the 35-year-old about protest , white privilege and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Rapinoe writes in her autobiography , One Life , about the lack of support she received from US Soccer and then-coach Jill Ellis when she took the knee for the national anthem .
`` I 'm proud of it , to be honest .
I 'm proud of speaking my mind and doing the right thing .
I feel this is how change is made .
`` Any time I have someone try to explain or argue with me about kneeling or arguing , it 's just an incoherent , fumbling , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knee sharpened my understanding of what I did , how I supported Colin and sharpened my resolved in that .
`` It was not a comfortable time .
I certainly felt that at least my international career was a little bit in jeopardy .
`` It showed me a lot of true colours around me in a lot of different ways .
The critics yell really loud and I had a federation who clearly did n't support me and , I felt , a coach who really did n't support me , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who always stuck by me and were with me the whole time .
`` But you have a choice of what you do in the world .
You just have to be prepared to wear the consequences of your actions . ''
On more white athletes speaking out For Rapinoe , white athletes should use their platform to give others a voice .
`` A lot of times , white athletes , particularly male athletes , do n't feel the effects that other people do ; they do n't feel the effects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inequity .
`` We do n't speak out because we are privileged and we do n't have to .
It comes in part from a lack of examination of your own life and the world around you .
`` For white people and probably white men in general , they do n't really have to analyse the world around them to be successful .
For example , if you 're gay , you 're constantly traversing a heteronormative world .

USA forward Megan Rapinoe on the future of her country and her career
Megan Rapinoe is a two-time World Cup winner, an Olympic gold medallist and the winner of the Ballon d'Or. She is also one of the most influential voices in sport.
The American has consistently spoken out about racism, sexism and homophobia and has been a leading voice in the campaign for equal pay for the United States women's team.
In 2016, Rapinoe became the first white American athlete to take a knee during the national anthem in a show of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.
However, that decision - a gesture of protest against racial inequality and police brutality - left her feeling as though her international career was in jeopardy.
BBC Sport spoke to the 35-year-old about protest, white privilege and the global development of women's football.
On taking a knee
Rapinoe writes in her autobiography, One Life, about the lack of support she received from US Soccer and then-coach Jill Ellis when she took the knee for the national anthem.
"I'm proud of it, to be honest. I'm proud of speaking my mind and doing the right thing. I feel this is how change is made.
"Any time I have someone try to explain or argue with me about kneeling or arguing, it's just an incoherent, fumbling, patriotic mess, right? Taking a knee sharpened my understanding of what I did, how I supported Colin and sharpened my resolved in that.
"It was not a comfortable time. I certainly felt that at least my international career was a little bit in jeopardy.
"It showed me a lot of true colours around me in a lot of different ways. The critics yell really loud and I had a federation who clearly didn't support me and, I felt, a coach who really didn't support me, but I had so many people around me who always stuck by me and were with me the whole time.
"But you have a choice of what you do in the world. You just have to be prepared to wear the consequences of your actions."
On more white athletes speaking out
Megan Rapinoe knelt for the national anthem before the USA played Thailand in a friendly in September 2016
For Rapinoe, white athletes should use their platform to give others a voice.
"A lot of times, white athletes, particularly male athletes, don't feel the effects that other people do; they don't feel the effects of racism, sexism, misogyny or pay inequity.
"We don't speak out because we are privileged and we don't have to. It comes in part from a lack of examination of your own life and the world around you.
"For white people and probably white men in general, they don't really have to analyse the world around them to be successful. For example, if you're gay, you're constantly traversing a heteronormative world.
"While it is not necessarily people's fault - people that were born now didn't create the country the way it was created - that doesn't mean you don't have a responsibility to it."
On what being a public figure means to her
Rapinoe recently proposed to her long-term girlfriend, American basketball star Sue Bird.
"You can look like me and be gay. You can look like Sue and be gay. That gives people the confidence to be yourself.
"I think that a lot of the time, the general stereotype is that being gay is harder; most people struggle with it or their family struggle with it.
"People say if you could do it again, you wouldn't choose to be gay, you wouldn't choose to have your life harder. Well, I disagree. I love being gay. I think it's awesome.
"I hope us just living our lives the ways that we do, can start to show how positive it can be, not just for us, but for society and the health for us."
On the future of women's football
The 2020 National Women's Soccer League season was postponed in America because of the coronavirus pandemic, with a number of World Cup winners coming to England to play in the WSL.
"I think women's football in England is the same as in America - it is so far behind because of what we've had to overcome in the lack of investment.
"It's 2020. How long has the Premier League been around? And we're only just seeing a club like Manchester United put effort and pounds towards a women's team? Frankly, it's disgraceful.
"I've had a few team-mates go abroad and play, while I'm training and trying to keep fit in the hopes that eventually we'll be out of this hellscape.
"I want to keep playing. I'm definitely not anywhere near retirement - I absolutely want to play at the Olympics.
"After the Olympics I'll have to take a longer look at the next three years. We're a year closer to the next World Cup and it's pretty enticing. We'll leave that one out in the open…"

It didn ’ t seem like a realistic objective for me .

But I chose it exactly for that reason .
Impossible dreams challenge us to rise above who we are now to see if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
On Nov 4 I started climbing with @ alexhonnold at 1:34am , caught between my own internal drama of achieving a life goal and the more prevalent one of the elections - both unfolding in parallel ways in my brain .
I knew I was in for a big day - but that ’ s exactly why I was there .
I wanted to find my limit and exist in it and fight beyond it .
A nasty slip on the 13a Golden Desert pitch almost took my resolve - a deep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and defeated .
I pulled on again , part of me not really wanting to stay on the wall , the other part gathering courage and flow .
I kept thinking “ why am I still hanging on ?
” The next pitch was the A5 traverse , where I failed last year .
This time it was not my limit .
I fought hard but with flawless movements in the dark .
I cried at the belay - it could happen this time ... .The final 5 pitches felt scary in my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ final lip at 10:30pm in disbelief .
There ’ s a lot more to say but mostly I wanted to express my gratitude for the love and support from friends , family , and strangers .
I feel the love so intensely right now .
Thank you all 🙏🏻 Massive thanks to @ alexhonnold for climbing with me over these years , you ’ ve inspired me to think bigger and believe in myself in ways you can not imagine .
To @ jonglassberg for your friendship , creativity , and ability to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time keeping it light and always fun .
And finally to my best friend , partner , lover , fave human of all time @ adrianballinger - your support and love for me through the darkness and the light has never wavered .
I love you endlessly ❤❤❤ More to come !

Last updated on .From the section Formula 1 The Vietnamese Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2021 Formula 1 calendar , BBC Sport has learned .
The date of the Vietnam race , 25 April , has been left blank on a 22-race 2021 schedule to be published on Tuesday .
The calendar could extend to 23 Grands Prix - a new record - if F1 can find a replacement for Vietnam .
The move has been triggered by the arrest on corruption charges of a key official responsible for the race in Hanoi .
Hanoi People 's Committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ August for alleged appropriation of documents containing state secrets .
The case is not related to his involvement in the grand prix .
However , Chung was the key figure in the race being introduced and championed it with the national government .

Talks are ongoing with regard to a possible race in Vietnam in 2022 , but the situation raises @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fail to materialise .
Any replacement race would be at one of the tracks added to the calendar this year as a result of the pandemic , with Turkey , Italy 's Imola and Portugal 's Portimao the leading candidates .
A spokesperson for F1 said : `` Our calendar will be announced on Tuesday and we are not going to give a running commentary before its publication .
It also needs to go to the FIA World Motor Sport Council for approval . ''
The 2021 season , the schedule for which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is scheduled to start in Australia on 21 March and end in Abu Dhabi on 5 December .
The British Grand Prix at Silverstone is on 18 July and the new Saudi Arabian Grand Prix , announced last week , the penultimate race on 28 November .
One key development is that the calendar features a race in Brazil , and that it is scheduled to be in Sao Paulo rather than Rio De Janeiro .
The event is listed as provisional for now .
The contract for Sao Paulo 's Interlagos track @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1990 , ended this year , and F1 has agreed a deal for a race at a new circuit yet to be built in the Deodoro area of Rio .

The Hanoi track that was to have staged the Vietnamese Grand Prix
The Vietnamese Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2021 Formula 1 calendar, raising doubts that the race will ever take place.
A street race in the capital Hanoi was due to make its debut in April this year before it was called off as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The date of the Vietnam race, 25 April, has been left blank on a 22-race schedule for 2021 published on Tuesday. The calendar could extend to 23 grands prix - a new record - if F1 can find a replacement for Vietnam.
The 2021 season is scheduled to start in Australia on 21 March and end in Abu Dhabi on 5 December.
The British Grand Prix at Silverstone is on 18 July and the new Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, announced last week, the penultimate race on 28 November.
Following the experience of establishing this year's truncated season, and talks with the countries involved for 2021, F1 said it was confident it would be able to run its calendar next year as long as the global pandemic does not take a major turn for the worse.
An F1 statement said: "The plans for 2021 have involved extensive dialogue with all promoters and their local and national authorities at a time of ongoing fluidity related to the global pandemic.
"Formula 1 and the FIA put in place robust health and safety measures to allow the revised 2020 season to restart and run effectively.
"Our hosts for 2021 are reassured by our safe return to racing this season and confident that the plans and procedures we have in place will allow us to return to a level of normality for the 2021 season."
The first Vietnam Grand Prix was due to take place in April 2020 before it was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic
F1 chairman and chief executive officer Chase Carey said: "We are planning for 2021 events with fans that provide an experience close to normal and expect our agreements to be honoured.
"We have proven that we can safely travel and operate our races and our promoters increasingly recognise the need to move forward and manage the virus.
"In fact, many hosts actually want to use our event as a platform to show the world they are moving forward."
Why did Vietnam race collapse?
The removal of Vietnam, which at the time was the first new event introduced by F1's new owners Liberty Media, has been triggered by the arrest on corruption charges of a key official responsible for the race in Hanoi.
Hanoi People's Committee chairman Nguyen Duc Chung was arrested in August for alleged appropriation of documents containing state secrets. external-link
The case is not related to his involvement in the grand prix.
However, Chung was the key figure in the race being introduced and championed it with the national government. His absence has led to a vacuum and Vietnamese authorities have told F1 that the government has other priorities, including key elections, the pandemic and recovery from a typhoon.
Talks are ongoing with regard to a possible race in Vietnam in 2022, but the situation raises the significant possibility that the event may never happen.
Any replacement race next year would be at one of the tracks added to the calendar this year as a result of the pandemic, with Turkey, Italy's Imola and Portugal's Portimao the leading candidates.
Why Sao Paulo and not Rio?
One key development is that the calendar features a race in Brazil, and it is scheduled to be in Sao Paulo rather than Rio de Janeiro. The event is listed as provisional for now.
The contract for Sao Paulo's Interlagos track, which has hosted the event since 1990, ended this year, and F1 has agreed a deal for a race at a new circuit yet to be built in the Deodoro area of Rio.
However, the Rio track requires environmental approval as it involves the felling of a patch of forest.
This has not yet been granted and the project is clouded in controversy and confusion, with world champion Lewis Hamilton among those indicating their opposition to the track being built.
F1 has political complications in returning to Interlagos, as the sport's owner Liberty Media refuses to deal with the promoter at the circuit, who is close to former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone.
The race is likely to go ahead with a new promoter.
Otherwise, the calendar bears a strong resemblance to the original 2020 schedule, which had to be restructured after the first 10 races were called off as a result of the pandemic.
The biggest change is the moving of the Dutch Grand Prix from the spring to 5 September, where it follows a week after the neighbouring Belgian event.
The race at the seaside town of Zandvoort had been due to return for the first time since 1985 this April, but was a casualty of the pandemic.

Deschamps talks to Pogba during training for the France national team
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba "cannot be happy" with his situation at the club, says France manager Didier Deschamps.
Pogba has figured in 11 games for the Old Trafford side this season but started in just five of those.
He was again on the bench at Everton last Saturday before coming on after 82 minutes in a much-needed 3-1 win for United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Pogba is with France's squad for games against Finland, Portugal and Sweden.
"He is in a situation with his club where he cannot be happy, neither with his playing time, nor with his positioning," said Deschamps.
"He is not in his best period, he has had a series of injuries and the Covid-19 which has hit him quite hard. He needs to find his rhythm.
"With me, there is no such concern. When a player is in discomfort in his club, obviously, he is happy to play for the France team.
"He will tell me about his feelings and, as I know him very well, it will go in a positive direction."
Pogba, 27, re-joined United when he signed for £89m from Juventus in 2016.
The last time he was on international duty in October he said it was "a dream" for him to play for Real Madrid one day.
Later that month, United triggered the one-year option on Pogba's contract as they extended his deal with them until 2022.

Disgruntled Premier League managers could ask for the return of the five substitutes rule this season, despite the concept twice being rejected.
