And they were 1-0 down!Read a report that said Liverpool could have been 4-0 up by the time of the Mane wrongful red card, which is pretty fucking amazing as they only had three shots on goal all game

Out of those 'rocky' moments, how many saves were required, out of interest??
Half chances at best with salah probably having the best opportunity..... the stats don't lie in this instance, we are conceding the least amount of shots, rocky or not!
It's why I wrote 'with better finishing'. Off the top of my head, Palace missed a sitter in the first half. Watford had a deflection onto the post, didn't they? Chelsea had Morata's (difficult) header, and the low shot that Ederson stopped at the post, although that might have been missing. Liverpool had at least 3 breaks down the City left which Salah wasted in various ways.
Every team in every game has a chance that could be a turning point - it seems we are judged by different standards I.e every chance/half chance the opposition get is an example of our dodgy defence but other teams 'ride their' luck or it's a deserved win 'overall'
That's true, but City have barely conceded, and many of the chances are before City score. Going a goal down improved things vs Everton, but I am okay with the suspicion not having been disproved yet.
I think that Delph shifting into the midfield helped yesterday, Ferny is playing superbly because he doesn't have to go forward at all, but mostly I think Walker's pace is the big change as the defence know either Ferny or him will have a decent chance of getting back to clear up.
The Liverpool dodginess was (in my mind) down to Mendy offering no support at all to Otamendi rather than anything else.
WibbleIf we keep putting in performances like we have of late two things are likely to happen with this show.
1. Sky will pull the show, as eventually the penny will drop and they will be forced to show us the respect we deserve and face up to the obvious. This will hurt the rag, red dipper and cockney media sympathizers as the well of negativity towards us will eventually dry up, only to be replaced by a spectacular blue fountain.
2. The hack's will simply spend the duration of the show either denying our existence or putting their fingers in their ears whilst shouting nah, nah, nah, were not listening.
I fucking love it.
Her LIverpool bias was so evident later on when she was invited to compare Koeman and Klopp.
Ashton should have asked her who are all these teams we need to come up against before we can be given due, appropriate (rather than limited, begrudging) credit
It depends how you read it, no team will go through games without conceding chances, however the quality of chances is the determining factor, we can state it's the oppositions fault, poor finishing etc etc but the facts are, as stated, that we concede fewer chances than anyone!!!!
