    Well if we'd taken the half chances that fell to Havertz and Martinelli better.....who knows.

    With all the injuries we had, a point isn't that bad.

    However Salah's goal was extremely poor and naive defending and once again shows we struggle when our first team players aren't around.

    You can say that about any team though. If you’re telling me City haven’t been massively impacted by losing Rodri I’d say you’ve not been watching City.

    Good point I suppose but the second half demonstrated why the criticism about being overly defensive is there.

    How is it a good point, we took the lead twice.

    This is every bit as poor a result as losing to Bournemouth.

    That's a bit silly, we literally had none of our first choice defence in their positions against a good attacking team

    If we win the next five then it's alright I guess but dropping points in four games already when dropping points in 10 last season was too much.

    Can't have many more of these.

    Dude. Please.

    It's already over, don't you get that?

    This league will come down to 2-3 points and the officials have already decided it.

    Okay, so here you are. City win. Amazing achievement, blah, blah.

    We MAY get second again, it's possible. Depends if Liverpool want to haul themselves up rm their presently shitty fluke form. We can easily beat them, if we want to. But it's not actually possible to beat city because of the rules which are set by city. And this come down to money, which is unimpeachable. Do you really think the 150K a week boys will sacrifice that gig so the fans can get a balanced playing field? It takes a lot to be able to pay fairly mediocre actors 150K a week. You MUST have a return on that investment and the recipients aren't going to be complaining once they make bank. Not sure I'd complain myself if somebody was just stuffing 150K a week in my bank account. Why would I?

    As much as it pains me, I agree with NQ. They aren’t a good attacking team….they’ve got Salah who yes is a great player

    Diaz is a very good player but more often than not can be missing an end product

    When you take the lead twice against a team at home you should be winning.

    Alluding to the fact the entire defence was obliterated by the end however yes I am also irritated that we didn’t hold on.

    It’s not that good but not a disaster either

    No it isn’t.
    It’s an okish result for us, a good result for Liverpool but the real winners, as always, are City.

    Whether it’s rigged by actual bribery and corruption or just by City being allowed to flout the rules to hoover up all the best players doesn’t really matter. The brilliance of sport is its unpredictability. But the PL isn’t unpredictable. Bookies could pay out on City now and sleep soundly in their beds. And we aren’t out of October yet. It’s why I follow it all at arms length these days.
