great game today, great advert for english footy !!! Thought the most effective "defensive" midfielder was fernandinho despite liverpool playing 3 similar versions and that's where the game was won esp when you consider how uncharacteristicly unimpactful David silva was !
Sane once again showing Sterling what proper wing play should be, robertson showing again he's the best LB in the country and Lovren proving he can't be trusted in a big game.... lacks concentration.
Here's to a fantastic second half of the season with all to play for !!! Who would have thought City would lose to palace or Spurs would lose to wolves ??? where's Liverpool's "makes no sense" defeat gonna come ????
Good luck to all, lots of twists in the tail to come i suspect... GAME ON
All to play for !!!

Fair assessment, get to see if we have actually improved, how much this blow will set us back. Got to respond and get back on another streak. Not sure the game plan was correct but if we'd have gone for it more and been picked apart it could have been more damaging. Its a boost for City and Spurs and a blow for us.

Absolutely all to play for.

Our lead at the top can be gone in a week.
We do however, have City our the way who I expect will take points off some of the clubs around us.

Robertson was the biggest positive of the game for me. Absolutely bossed Sterling throughout, very impressive performance and I agree he's the best in his position in the league.

The problem is who else other than city can beat Liverpool? Maybe the Man Utd game away could be a draw if Liverpool are having a off day.
Chelsea and ourselves have got to go to Anfield, other than that they have no one in the top six. It would be a massive bottle job if they don’t go on and win it being 7 points clear at one point.
All we can do is keep winning games and hope for a few slip ups, and be in a position to take advantage if their is.

Just can’t see it though they’re head and shoulders above everyone, but here’s hoping.

Plenty of teams capable of beating Liverpool, they are not quite the all singing, all dancing team they would have us believe. I thought they were very poor last night.

It was an interesting match, but I doubt it will have attracted many new fans to the game.

Could see Pool drawing at Everton and United and dropping points at home to Chelsea ( who I believe have a good record at Anfield ). We might nick a draw at Anfield. I would expect Liverpool to have 1 WTF game and drop points somewhere ridiculous like Fulham.
The only game I see City dropping points in is United at old Trafford, they will realistically draw a couple more aswell. I think they will win the title by a couple of points.
Our only chance is winning a minimum of 16 of the 17 remaining, and we would have to win at both Anfield and the Etihad. It's not happening, and the Wolves result made no difference ultimately. 3rd the league cup and CL QF would represent progress this season. We cant compete for top honours without buying 1 or 2 players each year, even Juve who have won Serie A 7 years running buy a couple of players each summer.
