We are not out of the title race as some are suggesting, thats just a nonsense but this run of form is as bad as I can remember under klopp. 3 absolutely stinking performances.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are people suggesting that? There's so much football yet to be played it would be daft. You're still favourites, you just haven't had the mortal feeling of bad patches of form for a bit. The levels you've been at were never sustainable but it certainly doesn't count for nothing after a handful of games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
City are the favourites now. You can still get 7/1 on United.

Yeah plenty on the this thread declared we were now out the race. Although I'd probably put that down to emotions running high after such an abject performance

Exactly. Still a long way to go yet. I think that City will probably do it. However, if Bailly can stay fit and our forwards start to fire, United might have a good chance. Going to be one hell of a second half to the season.

Title will be contested by the Manchester clubs now for me. We have too many players out of form and a tough Jan/Feb fixture list. We play United, Spurs, City, Leicester and Everton.

Thins can change quickly. Put a few wins together and the confidence can soon return. Our game on the 17th will be huge though. If we manage to beat Burnley and then turn you over at Anfield there will be a huge belief in the United camp. It is a big ask though.

It feels like if one team can string 5 wins together then they become favourites, it's that tight.
