You can think Liverpool are a very good team whilst also acknowledging when they get lucky. It's not one or the other.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Long way to go yet. I think they'll go on a big run here and they could surpass City's winning streak record, but their bad form will come.
Let's not forget they had a chance to be 10 points clear in January last season and they blew it, even when City lost to Newcastle afterwards they failed to capitalise drawing far too many gams.
I'm not convinced Liverpool are good at being frontrunners. We'll see where City are come christmas, given they have the easier run in for the final games, if they're no more than 5 points behind I think City will pip them once again.
Funny how little that is mentioned.
If Laporte's injury is an ACL or anything more than a month, I think they'll really struggle. Zinchenko, Walker and Otamendi are extremely average defenders and Stones is both injured and awful. They'll feel his loss for sure when they go on their extremely difficult run mid November onwards.
Liverpool and cut are just too freaking strong. Quick reminder what Liverpool did with Bayern and Barcelona , they made them look like amateur teams.
Klopp and Pep needs quickly to feck off

The lost to City away from home. Wouldn't say they 'blew' their chance of opening a 10 point lead.
My post was about the lead they had rather than going 10 points clear but yeah I agree loosing to city isn't blowing it.
Probably should have made the entire part bold.
Liverpool are a very good side. Intense, quick, clinical. Watching them is actually quite impressive because they play good stuff.
Being a United fan, that hurts, but it’s silly to put blinkers on and label it as luck. They’re better than us. Deal with it. There’s worse things in the world.

If your failure to do something includes not winning at the Etihad then it wont be mentioned.
Selfish from Salah
See 2 posts above your reply.
Not matter how many goals Mane or Salah score I will always believe Firmino is Liverpool's most important attacker. They have very little creativity in the middle of the park without him.
City weren't on great form though at that time, just lost to Palace, lost to Leicester, they were wobbling then. They weren't great in that game against Liverpool either, just more clinical. Lost to Newcastle shortly after.
December/January were difficult months for City, and Liverpool didn't capitalise. Even a draw would've been good and would've left them in a commanding position.
Liverpool have a bit of a history of doing this in the PL. Didn't they have a chance to go 6 points ahead of us in 08/09 around January sometime and instead drew to Stoke 0-0? Around the same time Rafa went on that presser rant?
Not to mention they're epic choke against Chelsea in 14' when they only needed a draw in that game. Chelsea had a makeshift side as well hamstrung between two CL semi finals against Atletico.

It's irritating how long TAA takes on corners and throw-ins
They have been better than us for years.
Our time will come again but United needs changes at roots level
They definitely bottled the title last season despite getting to 97 points, they were excellent chasers but shit the bed when they had the advantage.
However i feel they may hold on if they establish another big lead, now they've got that taste for winning things they will hold their nerve a bit better.
Liverpool fan here, and I try to be a fair, but come on man - Liverpool 97 points last season - during the course of a long season we couldn't do a lot more than we did.
Respect to Mcneil, he's had a really spirited go at TAA today and not stopped running.
Salah as greedy as Lingz
Take Salah off, he wants his goal way too hard.
Salah is so fecking greedy.
There you have it, Mane very angry and rightfully so.
Mane argument. Good. Dissent.
Mane has a right to be annoyed with Salah. Greedy cnut.
I’ve noticed him being frustrated back to Salah’s first season. He has a point Salah is beyond greedy. Mane is the better player.
Don’t blame Mané there not the first time Salah has gone goal searching when a teammate is clearly in a better position.
Mane should have joined United, I am sure Rashford would pass to him..
Very greedy. I'd be fuming, but Mane has his selfish moments as well.
i swear Liverpool field 12 players every week just like City.
97 points was an excellent achievement, and despite losing the league to pick your heads up shortly after that disappointment and still win the CL was even more remarkable.
But they had their opportunities to the put the squeeze on City and never properly put them away when they had the opportunity. Drawing against us when we didn't even have a fit striker, they were bad results.
City did win their last 14 PL games to be fair which is crazy, so I would say City won the league rather than Liverpool lost it sure, but I do think there were missed opportunities in that January/February part of the season to make the lead near insurmountable. 2014 was a proper choke.
Cracks starting to appear!
Salah gets no joy from creating chances.
They seem to get away with every chance they concede.
Club record for the dippers.
League is theirs this season .they're too good not to win it
They're only two points clear of City, we'll see where they are come Christmas/New year.
Hoping club world cup disrupt them. But its soo annoying how within 6 years we look like the inconsistent mess they were back in 2013, whilst they look like a force like we were.
It was bound to happen. Salah's greed affecting the other two. Firminho is ridiculously cool and seems OK with it as long as we're winning but Mane is feeling like I would. I just want to break his legs.
Two things will happen, either one or both will want to leave or Salah will visibly start making more passes than he wants to or even should in the context of the games coming up.

Van Dijk appears to have grown to 8ft..
Drug testing needed! Gigantism or what?
