Yet nothing has changed really for me. They are winning games I’d expect them to win
I’ll take them seriously if they come through Xmas unscathed. Hoping a completely useless Southampton and a completely demoralised City could help us out is one thing. Now I think the pressure is on them to put a sustained run together. City were completely hopeless and for all people going on about how hungry Liverpool were, they seemed to get more food down themselves rather than in their mouth.
As I said last week, the surprise has been about the extent of city’s collapse (I think today was more than just Rodri and lack of confidence, Guardiola completely botched it tactically) and to a lesser extent our own. Some very unforgivable results, number 1 in my view was the failure to beat Liverpool back in October (to my mind far more painful and infuriating than the losses to Bournemouth and Newcastle which we deserved nothing from)
