If I’m honest you seem convinced that I’m just refusing to acknowledge that Liverpool are this great side having an amazing season, because of some debate about Liverpool that I had on here five months ago as if somehow such a thing remotely matters to me.
What’s eating away at me is seeing a Liverpool side that I believe greatly inferior to us occupying the position that we should be in, and would be in (regardless of whether we’d signed a striker or not) if we had a coach better able to utilise the talent at his disposal.
Yes we were unlucky with injuries and suspensions too, but simply put…to be six points behind this Liverpool side having played a game more is to me an unforgivable travesty. The drop down in level between them and City at their relentless is gargantuan.
Whilst it’s not an excuse you haven’t had sides employing the deep block against Liverpool against us…well Forest did and they won.
