We are poorly coached. There's too many fundamental errors on the pitch you'd usually see at Sunday League.

Sadly, one of the best teams I've seen in the EPL.
One more win, one less chance for them to slip up. Looking increasingly like If we want to win we'll have to win all remaining games. Other than that we'll just have to see if the intense games against Barcelona affect their league form.
City will win all remaining games everyone needs to relax
you will win it. burnley is the only potential banana skin left for you, and i expect you to dispatch of them comfortably
All season I've been saying this team is fecking good. I am hoping city can still win the league, but one thing is for sure. Klopp and Liverpool are not going nowhere. This team is here to dominate for next 3 or 4 years. And when I say dominate, I don't mean win a few second rate cups, I mean the the PL and CL.
Makes me cringe we fecked up, not only on Pep, but that clown Klopp too. Well done Utd!

Fecking PL did them a massive favour letting them play tonight after years of them crippling English sides chances in Europe
It’s insane that Liverpool could lose the league on 97 points.
i kind of agree, but i also think that they, above all other sides this year, have had an incredibly generous set of decisions from officials.
How are they going to 'dominate' when City are around?
You can't dominate something you don't win, that makes no sense. They'll be a force for the next 3-4 years but with City there's still a good chance that this fantastic period for them could end in zero trophies, because Klopp isn't arsed about the domestic cups.
The CL is their best bet now this season.
All I kept hearing weeks ago was how City had these mega hard fixtures and would feck up. They’ve come through all them so I fancy them to do it now thankfully.
Well they haven't even won one second rate cup yet so steady on
No one knows what kind of an impact a 97 point season but no title would have on Liverpool, that plus they'd need the same amount of luck as this season and VVD to replicate his quite frankly insane form
A fullback that doesn't overlap even though he's rapid doesn't mean poor coaching. It means that back is stupid. They teach them these things while they were playing at schools.
We're miles away from Liverpool for just one reason : Their players care to run, press and move a lot for the sake of the team while our heavy paid clowns think they're good enough to win without putting much efforts and focus on their social media interactions.
Their hope is that City having won 2 in a row drop off a little in intensity, or, Klopp outlasts Pep - which is probably very likely.
Liverpool need to press on now, add another one or two really quality players. Someone in midfield in particular.
Why? Not like he didn't tail off at Dortmund.
City will be just as good next season, if not more so as they spend more in order to get that elusive CL trophy. Liverpool are more likely than City to struggle to maintain this level.
If anybody is going to dominate domestically, Man City are that team.
Pep’s history shows he leaves clubs quicker and more often than Klopp does.
I don’t disagree that City remain favourites in the mean time though. But if they were to lose Pep, and Liverpool were able to keep this team together and add to it, that would be their chance.
Remember when everyone wanted to see how Klopp/Liverpool would do when Salah didn't have a freak season. Ladies and gentlemen exhibit A: 91 points.
You spent loads of money in the summer and improved massively as a result.
Shock. Horror.
Pep is the only manager in the world that could keep the amount of world class players on the bench waiting to play.
Pep always seemed like a long term project of City's - they mentioned it before he came and from the coaches and assistant managers - everyone blends in well with Pep.
Pep left Bayern because he didn't adapt well to there or maybe the other way around.
Klopp seems like he wants ex giant under dog clubs to build a team without pressure - something that is never going to happen at ours. When he finishes he can move to a club like Milan instead of Juventus for example or a Spanish club that is not the big 2.
Liverpool is a big club with a huge fan base. Colour us all shocked.
Is there a point here?
You were very reliant on Salah last season, but this season you are less reliant because you spent huge sums of money to reinforce the squad.
It's not like Klopp has been some wily genius, he literally went out and broke records to get players at the club. There's nothing wrong with that but it's also not exactly a surprise that those record breaking signings improved you significantly.
Yes, sir.
For a coach to need to tell a full-back to aggressively sprint into an overlap position to create an overload, is quite frankly shocking to say the least. If it's obvious to a fan watching his team, then it ought be all the more obvious for a professional at the top of the game. When I see Alba almost as high as Suarez wide on the left, I think 'he understands', and when Robertson bombs down the left in anticipation for the switch from Salah to Wijnaldum to Mane, I think 'he understands'.
But when I see Shaw/Young 20 yards behind Martial, waiting either for Martial to pass the ball backwards, or take on two players double-teaming him on his own, then I think 'they don't understand'.
Hard to hate on excellence.
Reckon if they win nothing this season they’ll fall to shit.
Meanwhile United has gone and spent more and is still barely making top 4.
Let’s be honest, Klopp is a fecking brilliant manager.
That's actually a great point, I honestly see no chance of Klopp ever finding himself with the Real Madrid or Barca job but Atlético on the other hand... of course that could just be because he was at Dortmund rather than Bayern and Liverpool instead of... well
No chance of that happening if they keep their squad together.
Hahah they Lose title with 97 points. It's pure Madness
People throw the blame on managers a lot for weird things. A back overlapping is basic stuff that they learn at their school team.
We’ll see.
Even their goal difference compared to ours is depressing.
64 -13
64 -13
Everybody recognises that Manchester United have been completely and utterly inept with their spending. Even then you finished 2nd last season (just like liverpool will now) and have two trophies in the bag since your spending (compared to zero under Klopp thus far) so this idea that Klopp has been an absolute genius with his spending is ridiculous. He broke records to sign a keeper and a defender, he spent well over 100 million on midfield reinforcements.
Klopp is an excellent manager, but Liverpool kicked on from last season because they spent huge sums of money on the team, which 90% of the time leads to massive improvements.
Absolutely. What he did with Dortmund was amazing and now he's turned Liverpool who's been shit for what feels like eternity into one of the best sides in Europe. He deserves much credit even if most of us hate him.
Poor old Squishy has lost his mind.
You're the one making pointless statements.
Liverpool were overly reliant on Salah's genius last season. Then Liverpool went and spent over 160 million on transfers in a single summer as well as had a record breaking defensive signing (VVD) in the team from the get go.
You then got much better. That's literally all I am saying. Clearly Klopp is a fantastic coach (one of the best in the worlds) but it's pointless to act like it's some mystery that you're not so reliant on one player this season, he went out and had license to spend more than any other club this summer.
Was arguing with a bloke on the Luke Shaw thread when he said he was every bit as good as Robertson. Nuts.
They’ll become only the third side in PL history not to win the title after being top at Christmas.
The other two sides were
Liverpool
This is the type of journalism we will have to put up with if they win it:
The only thing that makes me currently rather city win trophies before Liverpool is the sheer trophy county that Liverpool possess. Liverpool's 5 European cups to our 3 and our 20 to their 18 league titles makes me nervous seeing them challenge for said trophies.
As far as I'm concerned city can win silverware for a decade and they still will come short. Liverpool are dangerously close to surpassing us when it comes to honours.
Don't get me started on the fans, they are both as bad as eachother. I've grown up with city fans and they are capable of chanting some horrific stuff. I've heard equally terrible songs from almost every English club towards eachother.
In utmost honesty, with that said, I have a respect for Liverpool as a football club. I don't have respect for city in the same way. I'm abit envious of their whole set up lately - the training facilities, the squad, the staff etc but it's clear to everyone that they were one of a handful of clubs that were chosen by Sheikh Mansour to be his. He has propelled them to this level and so be it.

The amount of arse-twitching in here after they beat a pub team is embarrassing. Did any of you truly expect anything different tonight? It doesn’t change a damn thing in the bigger picture: Guardiola and his men will be targeting three wins to secure the title and Liverpool can win their three games 5-0 each and it won’t matter a jot.
Have some faith.
