Yes, should have been 5-0.
Big gulf between sides.
If Laporte had played more games than Van Dijk, title would have been different story last season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah. Would probably have been closer but we were just remarkably consistent last season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree much closer
You were never under Any pressure after Laporte was out
You may not have kept up that consistently under pressure
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Its a bit bizarre to hit out with a statement like that when it could easily be reversed to say if we had vvd this season it would be much closer.
Surely its easier just to say last season liverpool thoroughly deserved it and this season city appear to be on course to a thoroughly deserved title?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree if City had their best CB out and you had VVD you would be there

Neo, this season has been harsh on Liverpool. To suffer the injuries that they have has of course happened to other teams on numerous occasions in the past, but usually such injuries are spread across the various positions on the pitch.
In Liverpool's case, their long term injuries have in the majority all happened to central defensive players. Which has meant that central midfield players have had to be used in central defence, which in turn impacts on the midfield. It's been an incredibly unlucky set of injuries, and that was bound to have an affect.
I don't think it is a case of Liverpool dropping off this season. I think it's more a case of Liverpool have had the spine ripped out of its team due to injuries this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All good points but I still think the performances have dropped off considerably. We all know the defensive woes but I refuse to accept it’s what accounts for so many bad performances attacking wise.
Mane and Firmino have been nowhere near where they were last season and have been so poor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was inevitable
Happened to City last season
Liverpool's Achilles Heel is squad depth and I can't see what Thiago brings to the party. He seems to slow it all down.

I think we have good squad depth apart from up front. Jota being injured hasn't helped but we probably need another. Possibly in goal also although the young keeper has done alright when he's played. Possibly the squad depth looks worse as the long term injuries are all concentrated in the one position meaning players from another position have to play there and a wide player(Shaqiri) in midfield.
Yeah going into the season many people including myself thought our squad was just about complete. It's all the injuries in one position that have made it look worse than it is, but I agree that the attack could do with another new face in summer.
I should have said when the summer transfer window shut there, not at the start of the season*
I’m not sure it is squad depth as such (aside from the cb position), it’s as much your standout players aren’t at the level they were the last couple of seasons. Any of our previous games, that Mane header goes in and it can then turn into a very different game. As much as you aren’t creating as much as before, you’re also not as clinical either.

Very true. I've lost count of the amount of times Firmino has passed it to the opposition keeper and Mane has been wasteful also. Salah has got his shooting boots back but he was also wasteful for several games. Missed an absolute sitter in first minute against Brighton however. Think we were one of the highest scoring from corners last season, if not the highest. That's obviously gone with all the central defenders getting injured.
Today,for us, was the perfect storm. There’s no other way to describe it.
Speaking of perfection, City was there, we weren’t.
Well done them.
Had a good feeling about today. And was justified for once 😂
Second half I thought we were absolutely brilliant. And not much else to add right now!
Loving how City fans have crawled out from under their rock. Gonna be a quiet time when United win the title in May!
I thought United had already won the title in January.
Refreshingly straight forward honest article.
I think city actually fell asleep form boedowm first half.
Guardiola schooled klopp yesterday. Every change made by pep was to win the game. 2 up forced those errors form alisson.
His subs moved foden and killed us.
Klopp took off a fresh 20 yearold and put in a 345 year old when then didn't run at all and when alisson needed an outball he was nowhere. (not excusing stupidity)
He took off thiago who didn't have much left but put on a right winger in midfield and we fell apart.
One man is thinking clearly and trying to win the game.
the other is not thinking clearly and not trying to influence the game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If i compare us to spurs.
When spurs game they got one break and son scored. We were incredibly lucky as an offisde was given. Son passed it into the net.
Spurs front two are lethal, its about the only thing spurs really have going for them.
We have mane as you say but his head has been down ALL SEASON, absolutely all season and he misses the target most of the time. give him 5 chances and he'll score 1. give son or kane 5 and they will maybe score a hat trick.
We all know it but accept it as they WERE dynamic and intense.
Last year we got 99 points but were not clincial. we probably missed 10 chances a game at times and won 2-0.
Its all about intent IMO. I don't see that drive. Thats what klopp needs to instill. Right now a big offer comes in for mane imo we should take it and rebuild. whoever that is. We won't get too many big offers
No ACON this year, you would have lost Mane for 6 weeks.
