Still expect Citeh will reel them in. Liverpool need a hefty lead before Europa resumes.
City shouldn't even be in the league anymore.
It's a joke that Everton got a 10 points deduction for much lesser violations and City still isn't punished at all.

Agree with the comms, there's a very clinical efficiency of this Liverpool team.

Not been amazing today and Bournemouth played well for spells so 0-3 is pretty good going.

If there was a goal that called for the shush gesture. Mishit *crowd laughs* scores.

We're relying on City to edge them out again. As Arsenal won't do it.
But Liverpool don't look to be dropping many points even with a few key players out. Not great.

Then if City were punished in the summer, we might well have to suck up another title or 2 for Liverpool until Klopp finally bores off.
Things change very quickly. Liverpool still have some tough matches - away to Arsenal, Everton (alright, easy three points), us, West Ham and Villa. Throw in Europa in the mix too.

City will end up doing what City do best, time their run to perfection.

Agreed but what is the PL going to do about that?

They're missing half their squad as well. Agree with the clinical efficiency part. They just do everything well, no matter who plays.

Hope you're right. Them winning it post their obvious peak with the front 3, would be upsetting.
People wrote them off hilariously early last year. He basically came close to fixing them in 1 summer with some fairly moderate players. I mean look at the centre mid they put out today. That's a Fergie style beyond the sum of the parts job.

Liverpool have loads of goalscorers plus set piece threat. Exactly the opposite of us.

Whenever MacAllister doesn't play that midfield looks subpar. The dropoff from MacAllister to Endo is quite large.

Klopp knows how to get the best out of his system. They can be clinical and aren't that bad when they are a player down.

Still, I feel like they are riding their luck a bit.

This Liverpool team is so annoying. They keep wining, but are not even that great. At least the Liverpool of a few years ago were awesome, so you kind of expected it.

I can't see them dropping many points (only 1 controversial defeat this season). Just hope City get their act together and go on their usual run.

Damn, that's one match without Salah handled. I don't trust City to avoid a loss at Anfield, so it's effectively a 5 point lead already.

Liverpool came out from the first minute and had Bournemouth under the cosh, Bournemouth came back into it, but Liverpool came out in the second half like they did in the first.

That's what having a good attack would do. All this midfield domination make people stray away from important stuff to win games. Which is to score goals.

Missing the best right winger in the world and they don't even miss a beat.

Another nightmare season in which we can only hope that City are able to stop Liverpool from winning the league.

One.

Much like your manager, I don't care how you do in the domestic cups.
Actually it’s 3. That Arsenal game we had half a team and still won. It’s so very important to win these matches with such a depleted team because it gives us confidence. What a great job Klopp has done this season.

That was possibly the worst corner kick by the Wolves I have seen all year.

Sky sports news presenter "Brighton having a great season, they are ahead of Man United now" (on scoring difference)

No mention they are a couple of points ahead of Chelsea and Newcastle who finished 4th last season.

Passing a ball between the CBs and the DM 500 times a game is not "good football". It's like watching paint dry.
