I'm more worried about Spurs getting destroyed by City in the Champions League games but getting something in the league game
I'd gladly let them knock us out of the CL to get a win in the league. The other way is the stuff of nightmares.I'm more worried about Spurs getting destroyed by City in the Champions League games but getting something in the league game
Your reasons for City not be as strong mentally as Liverpool are laughable.Man City will definitely be the ones to blink first in this title race, those players have always had a suspect mentality (never retaining a title, being 2 up with the title won then loosing 2-3 against us, never doing it in the UCL)
Liverpool may not be as good a side and are lucking their way to wins week after week but mentally I'd say they're the stronger
So True.People keep on forgetting how much better than everyone else this City side is.
I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of them winning all of their remaining PL fixtures.
That's gone under the radar a little. Liverpool wining the PL and CL double. But some Utd fans wouldn't mind that if Utd finished top 4.I'm preparing myself for the absolute nightmare of Liverpool doing a league and European double. We'll never hear the end of it.
So I dont think anyone would argue that theyve been miles better than us since Fergie retired. Yet our record since then against them is 4 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. Take out 2 Moyes losses and it's 4-2-4. It's a Manchester derby. At Old Trafford. It doesnt matter if they're a better side then us so much as we're also a good side these days and it'll be as hard of a game as City will have played all season.We don't even have to hand City a win, their 10 times better than us. We won't beat them regardless of what's at stake.
Tell you what though closest title race since United and City in 11/12.
If you think aguerooo was bad IMAGINE Liverpool coming back from 2 goal down vs Wolves at anfield to win the title with the last kick of the game at the kopp end ...... at that point I would just pour gasoline on myself and set myself on fire .
When did we last beat City at home? under LVG? 4-2? Feels like we've barely beaten them at home since they became good.I think we will beat City and open the door for Liverpool. Their run in is very simple.
Klopp wasn’t there during 14/15Surely Liverpool's luck will have to end some time? Let's not pretend their a seasoned professional winning side. Also they look worse this year than last.

No such thing as a simple run in, United had a 'simple' run inback in 2011/12 and managed to feck it upI think we will beat City and open the door for Liverpool. Their run in is very simple.
Football is ironic like that though. They looked great under Rodgers that season and didn’t win anything. Last season they were wiping the floor with opponents and didn’t win anything.Surely Liverpool's luck will have to end some time? Let's not pretend their a seasoned professional winning side. Also they look worse this year than last.

laughable. Liverpool with a stronger mentality. what have they won recently?Man City will definitely be the ones to blink first in this title race, those players have always had a suspect mentality (never retaining a title, being 2 up with the title won then loosing 2-3 against us, never doing it in the UCL)

I don't think we have a stronger mentality, but I do think we are able to react better to adversity.laughable. Liverpool with a stronger mentality. what have they won recently?
So a team full of players who have won the league definitely have a weaker mentality than a team that has not won anything? Interesting.Man City will definitely be the ones to blink first in this title race, those players have always had a suspect mentality (never retaining a title, being 2 up with the title won then loosing 2-3 against us, never doing it in the UCL)

I hope it'd be like when Leicester and 17/18 City won it. Not winning it by winning a game, but winning it by the other team dropping points. So they're having to celebrate it at home watching TV instead of at the stadium in front of the fans.
If they are going to win it, rather them win it with a couple of games to spare. Wining it on last day would be the ultimate nail in the coffin.....and let's just pray they don't have a CL final after that too.
My god.....the more I think about what might happen, they more I'm starting to feel physically sick.
I'll pick on you as it seems to be the question everyone is asking as a result of that post, what Liverpool have done historically doesn't have any baring on this side does it? This is a newly built team that haven't been together for that long - Alisson, VVD, Robertson, Arnold, Gomez, Salah, none of those players have been in the Liverpool starting XI for longer than 18 months and with the goal keeper and Gomez aside what those other players managed to do in their first season at Liverpool was get to a UCL final.So a team full of players who have won the league definitely have a weaker mentality than a team that has not won anything? Interesting.
Given City are currently still ‘ahead’ in the race, the flip side of that stat must be that Liverpool drop a lot more points from winning positions.. so you might react better in adversity but you’re also liable to bottling it from a winning position. Not sure which I’d rather be.I don't think we have a stronger mentality, but I do think we are able to react better to adversity.
Look at points won from losing positions (after falling behind):
Liverpool - 7 games, W5 D1 L1 - 16 points
City - 5 games, W0 D1 L4
They've fallen behind 5 times this season and lost 4 of those. I remember the games against Palace and Newcastle where they kept on pushing but simply couldn't score. Against Chelsea as well, they were by far the better team but once they fell behind against the run of play they couldn't impose their will on Chelsea and conceded another. City is way better in closing games out once they've taken the lead, I never expect any opponent to get something against them after they go 1-0 up. However when City falls behind, it seems like they struggle to turn things around. Hopefully for Liverpool that's what will happen in Palace, in United or in Burnley.
