For every slip there have been plenty of games where we’ve been under pressure and won, or we’ve dug out wins from losing or drawing positions.
The thing about City is that they don’t slip when it matters. They seem to have the ability to get their slips out of the way in the first half of the season and then from Christmas onwards they’re basically flawless and mow everyone down.
The only way Liverpool got the better of them was to be basically perfect till they were so far ahead it was basically won by February. I’m not saying there’s no room for improvement but overall I’m not convinced we could have done that much more this season. But we have to sort out the games vs City next year, that’s a 12 point swing we can’t give them and win the title.
