Who are Arsenal even going to play at the back? That's going to be an absolute slaughtering.
They are 5 points clear. No tears yet!
It's coming apart at the seams, I can sense it in my testicles.
They know it, too, but trying to save face.
You think we are going to cry if we fail to win the title? Klopp has improved us in every aspect, this team doesn’t need as many additions as in previous years where it felt like we needed 5+ players just to compete for a title. The current side is nearly the finished article. I think most fans know this side is geared to challenge for the title every season now.
I don’t have a clue what kind of midfielder he’s supposed to be. His inclusion upset the balance tonight.
Credit to Leicester though. Very good value for a point and could’ve had all three.
Arsenal didn't have a shot on target at home versus Cardiff yesterday until the 65th minute - And that was a penalty.
I don’t think that’s anything to do with Liverpool. You should get that checked buddy.
We're talking about a team who had just lost to Newcastle. You never know with the current City tbh. They're pretty shaky and bound to fecking up. They aren't City of last season.
Its -20 but with the wind chill its feels like -34. I could barely be outside at any point today.
Tomorrow its -23 and with the wind chill it will feel like -36!
City and Liverpool are some how same state, not finding enough energy, I think this year's title will be decided at last 1 2 game weeks.
True, but Arsenal away from home against top opposition has always been the best source of AFTV highlights, so I still expect them to win. They'll drop points at some point, but versus Arsenal? The only surprise for me would be if they don't win by 2+ goals.
Oops
Sorry I tuned out. Were you talking about Arsenal or Newcastle?
I'm being facetious of course. I already predicted the highest number of goals conceded this season once Sokaratis got injured. But you never know when there's something to fight for.
The one thing I know for sure is that the Premier League is relatively unpredictable. May worth be placing a sneaky punt on Arse getting a draw.
Sorry what??
Yup,I don't see them winning all 3 of those.
Arsenal will lose. You give City space that too against a makeshift defence, they will tear you apart .
Yeah, Arsenal can't park the bus even when all the defenders are fit. A city win, maybe even a thrashing.
A hammering of their GD will do nicely
its always an excuse with Klopp isnt it?
can't Pep get his chequebook out FFS these are there for the taking
Sorry Pal. In Vancouver. Just got back from golf
Punk!
Agh. What did he say this time?
2 points dropped won't cost us big after all. Though ole and phelan will learn about this squad surely that they can't afford to relax one bit.
Blamed the snow.
I don't know why Klopp complaining about the snow when there this:

And I feel darn sad for Leicester due to that above.
After today’s game, its too early to call. But what worry me is not Liverpool draw few games here and there, but City going to drop MORE points due to their inconsistency.
Liverpool tends to drop points the most is in mid-Jan to Feb, we just have to wait till after Feb to see.

I 100% agree with this, the team
Is much more cautious overall and doesn’t leave themselves open to sucker punch goal anywhere near as much as they did previously, I think that has been a massive change this season.
Would it be too difficult for them to get the permission for a statue of Jurgen this summer? Also have they decided where they want to put it outside Anfield? If they start now, they could make it a grand occasion out of their final league game.
Is it just me or was their stadium subdued for most of the game? I
Yes, of course.
Nervous I think. And its only January. Whats it going to be like in April and May?
Doesn't help the players surely.
If you all take your tinted specs off for a moment you'll realise that this is what Ferguson did time and time again with United. Absolved his players of blame in the media and then gave them a bollocking in the changing rooms.
I still say they are going to win this League, BUT this draw was yet another wasted chance to comfortably leave City far behind. Bottlers.
It's the first time this season Liverpool have dropped points against a team outside the top 5 clubs in the premier league. Before yesterday only 3 teams in the league had taken points off them. (City, Chelsea, Arsenal).
This is a massive psychological hit for Liverpool as now all those fixtures Liverpool fans, pundits and media have put down as a Liverpool win won't be that easy. It will give all those teams facing Liverpool hope. This will play on their minds from now on.
A couple of weeks ago I was reading that after the City fixture, Liverpool have kind fixtures, Brighton, Palace and Leicester. How kind were they ? A dodgy penalty and a feck up from the keeper , but the luck ran out yesterday.
Trust me. In April and May there are no easy fixtures.
All those Liverpool fans who were texting me on Tuesday night saying 'we have won the title in January'. I think it's not that simple.
Let the games begin.

Klopp complaining about the snow on the pitch hindering Liverpool last night, he said the wind disrupted them at Wolves, so what's next - if the weather is warm at the end of the season during the last few games will he say that the heat affects them when they drop points.
Liverpool last night mirrored City at Newcastle, edgy and nervous and looking more than a bit vulnerable in games you would have expected both to win.
Liverpool can at least look at the fact they gained a point over City, in the second half last night Leicester seemed to sense that there was a chance to win the game and I think they actually created more chances than Liverpool. Schmeichel had little to do, Liverpool had a lot of the ball but did little with it, although they should have had a penalty.

There should be a new voting option: 1-7 points.
Yep. Not sure why anyone pays attention.
New here, first post.
Disappointing result last night, however I guess it still leaves us in a stronger position than we were before this round of fixtures, we all would have taken that before City played Newcastle.
The title race is far from over. There are 14 games and 42 points still to play for, anything could still happen. As we have seen, City seem capable of dropping points to anyone, at home or away. We will drop points as well as the season goes on, with tired legs, tired minds, and pressure being a huge factor. We are obviously in a strong position and it is more than any of us Liverpool fans could have asked for before the season started, but I am absolutely not getting ahead of myself - 13/14 has taught me that much!
There are obviously key games left for both teams: United, Spurs, Chelsea, Everton, etc. But as we have seen this season, and in the past, the smaller teams can have a massive say in the title race as well.
Overall I am enjoying the ride and hope we can actually do it this season. United, do us a favour and for once just let us win at Old Trafford and repeat your result against City last season please!
