The amount of technical ability in display + work rate is immense.

And just imagine, all these golden chances played beautifully across the box that the likes of Sterling keep just missing could be falling to Haaland next season.

He may score prime Messi & CR7 numbers in that team next year. Don’t see how anyone other than City can win the league for the next several seasons. 

Liverpool have to push themselves to unbelievably ridiculous levels just to keep up and that’s only with City slipping up a few times. As long as Pep is there I just can’t see past them. Going to be annoying and kinda sad seeing them pass us in PL titles quite comfortably. 😔

This has been a very entertaining game to watch, except for the commentators who give zero insight to tactics and just prattle on about complete nonsense.

😀 Proper fans that rob their players houses when playing away. Proper fans that murdered 39 Italians....

In other words, we have gained 2 points on both of them 😇

[Vesper 29,231]

coming into this game:

Since the 2017/18 campaign, Guardiola and Klopp’s men have claimed 438 and 412 points respectively from 182 matches – in City’s case that’s 100 more than any other Premier League team not named Liverpool.

Since the start of the 2018-19 Premier League season, City have accumulated 338 points in the league, while Liverpool have won 337.

It's good City and pool drew each their games 2-2 but we also drew both pool games and lost both city games, so overall we could have capitalised more.

It is interesting how pool vs city usually are high scoring games while vs us it is usually (with exceptions vs lpool) a cagey affair. Tactically, we probably have a better defence than both with TT but our offensive players are just so much worse than theirs.

There are 8 games left.... if we would win all of them which i consider possible though not probable we can still finish on 86 points. That would be a very strong 3rd place.

[Laylabelle 9,411]

Sad to think we were once where they were...now they've gone miles above everyone in perform and talent..most the time anyway.

Hopefully we can get back to their level eventually
