How so? Don't think they were fortunate, if anything they looked like they wanted it more than we did. We failed to take the very few chances we got, than Klopp made some rather pointless substitutions and we never looked winning it late in the game, before it hit the 80-minute mark I knew we wouldn't score anymore. I really don't get why anyone would say this is a good result at Goodison, it's 2 points dropped instead of 1 gained. Most players came out with weird post-game comments as well (apart from Van Dijk), if not being top anymore is what it takes to make them playing well again I'm gonna start questioning their mentality.
Certainly looks like it, it seems by far the most difficult game City has left this season. Could be an amazing game with lots of tension if you keep up your current form and Arsenal keeps winning as well. I think Ole might be torn inside but ultimately I think he'd rather win to secure top 4 than jeopardize his own chances just not to see us go back top again. However though, if Liverpool doesn't improve their play very very quickly I think City might even afford a loss at Old Trafford.
Everton were somewhat fortunate Salah wasn't sharper. Should have scored yesterday.
On first sight I'd take that in a heartbeat, since it would put us at 93 points. However, I think even such a return won't be enough to overtake City.
Nah...
He was great for them last season and it’s clear they miss his creativity in that area of the pitch. Hopefully he doesn’t get going again until next season at the earliest.
As a cm he's excellent, imo. Even at arsenal he was brilliant as a cm but, for whatever reason, he hardly played there for Wenger.
It’s still very much in the balance though. One more result like they had against Palace, Leicester or Newcastle and it swings back again.
Rest assured, someone will do a Gerrard
It's not so much that he's a brilliant player or anything, but he's just the kind of player we're in desperate need of right now, i.e. someone who can link our midfield and attacking play.
It only looks like it's in the balance because you were so far ahead at one stage that the points differential now makes it out to be neck and neck.
Yeah true but football can swing back and forth. We looked pretty good in December and our fixtures aren't the worst.
Yeah true. I'm hoping we pick up form between now and the end of the season obviously. If we do win it it'll require another swing from where things are at now.
I'm hoping that changes. In December we were looking formidable and City a bit uncertain. City are favorites though for sure.
We need something creative in centre mid. Henderson, Gina, Fabinho and Milner are all similar. Ox gives something different and is an experienced pro so always good to have him back and could give the team a much needed boost in that area.
What is a world class footballer? He is quality. His form over the last 2 seasons has been stellar but he's suffering a small bit as is the whole team since Xmas. I hope he can find his form again.
It's very rare that a team doesnt have a blip in a title challenge. Liverpool have dipped in form since Xmas but with good management they could pick up again. I wouldn't call this title yet at all but at the same time city are definitely favorites.
