I think their peak was higher that season but they have a far deeper squad now.
Old man Milner struggling out there. Hope he gets sent off.
Leeds' silly kamikaze football will be demolished by City I think.
Nah, they just rotate. 5 of the players are not even playing from midweek. Villareal wasn't even an intense game, anyway; they controlled it from start to finish.
Agreed even their route to the CL final is absolutely ridiculous
It's partly because they specifically recruit for players that can actually do the physical work, as Rangnick has been complaining we don't.
But also if you actually look at the running and pressing stats, they do a lot less than you think. They just maximise its effectiveness by making the pitch smaller, pressing in specific areas and having a high success rate when they do press. The same is true of City to an even greater extent as the amount of posssesion they have minimises the off the ball work they have to do.
A team like Leeds under Bielsa put in way more actual physical work than either, for example
Mariner barely hiding his Liverpool shirt.
Not a bad thing really, with everything in the universe working with them they still only won 1 PL 1 CL. And if City do their job it will stay this way.
Of course it’s Keita who should be suspended for this game
Newcastle have no chance here.
He got booked at anfield. You'll not get more than that.
It's a miracle it wasn't petitioned after the match.
Newcastle on the beach the cnuts.
Diaz is so damn good
Diaz looks like hes played in the league for years.
Fair enough as they didn't get too many injuries that year, but their consistently was incredible, that league run while also disposing of bayern and barca was supremely impressive, compared to their rather tame cl run this year.
I know the hate and all but so much bizzare stuff is being posted here. Please stop with the stupid conspiracy theories and how can anyone say Pool play ugly fotball ? Like come on ? If United played anything like that every fan would praise it for being the best there is.
That's what they said about us when we were winning trophies every season, minus the being damn good part
Diaz plays like he has been at Liverpool for 2-3 years
Sad to say but Newcastle were beaten psychologically befire a ball was kicked. They are at home and can trouble this Liverpool side but they don't seem to believe it.
The aura of Liverpool and City will take a while to match even if Ten Hag turns it around.

How can nobody find a counter tactic to the Van Dijk 80 yard diagonal ball to the right wing back. Liverpool constantly do it. It's their main attacking play. Nobody man marks the wing backs
Clear offside
Hendo. Theres no way he’s hitting a free kick
Shame.
Shame that, but maybe it'll give Newcastle a lift
I don't think they're ugly to watch but I don't think they're massively entertaining either.
Also comparing any style to our non style is really a mute point
This was the one possible game Liverpool might have slipped up in and are 1-0 up within 20 minutes.
Title race will be decided on Man City and if they can win their remaining games. I'm not convinced that they can.

Yeah, Leeds did run themselves ragged, didn't they. Also seemed a bit more reckless when they did it. The proverbial headless chicken, whereas I guess there's more subtly to Liverpool. It just seems like every time I watch them there's no let-up. I take what you're saying, but they don't seem to suffer from fatigue.
As for the transfers, yeah I agree. Look at Diaz. If ever there was a player that suited a team down to the ground, it's him with Liverpool. He's perfect for them, unfortunately. That's what good planning and competence does for a club.
This could be the game Liverpool drop points. If they not careful Newcastle will get into this game
Clearly onside. The ref must be bent and VAR bought. Am I doing it right?
Huh? The officiating is almost on point. Soft foul for Mane but you can't really say that nonsense.
I'm very afraid if that if pool win this they're crowned champions basically, I feel City will drop points, their match with real was much more grueling.
Its comparable to SAFs best fotball which every fan loved.
Not watching. What piece of luck went their way today? Klopp is a good and lucky manager.
Leeds match is big. Sandwiched between the RM games.
Remember when Milner used to be one of footballs nice guys, Liverpool have really brought out the cnut in him.
Jota's such a little prick.
I find it incredible how they’ve managed to get another level out of him since he left City, and at that age.
They will be back from the beach when they play City next weekend!
Always been a cnut in my eyes.
