For all the talk of a foul on Stones he knows the guys coming and just needs to be stronger. Needs to get back to his best.

It was a foul on Stones, it was not shoulder to shoulder like Fowler on Neville (as Carragher mentioned).
People are right tho to say it shouldn';t have come to that. Stones should have got to the ball before he eventually did

Apparently, all they have to do, is play like they did v City, every week, & the title is theirs #nextyear.
Which might be true, if City play like they did v Liverpool evey week & all Liverpool's opponents come out & attack, whilst not defending.
But not likely.
They could start by not playing like wankers when they get to the swamp. Turn over a new leaf there.

and prey tell me dipper, what should he of done, not got close to bleach gobs shoulder, kept his distance.. a fouls a fucking foul wherever and whenever it iseasy tiger. Even if it is a foul, Stones shouldn't have let it get to that.

A shoulder barge is only legal if it's shoulder to shoulder. A shoulder barge to the back isn't.Stones is just weak.No way that was a foul.Shoudler barge.This isn't la liga

Stones 'foul' was something you see given occasionally.
Sometimes if the defender dives (like Otamendi was often doing last season) it gets given. Sometimes, though, the defender dives & it isn't given (like often happened Otamendi last season) & you realise that the best way, is to man up & defend it (like Stones didn't).
People bleating about it, are almost as bad as the scousers moaning about Mane's red card.
But then I doubt our fans will still be bleating about it 6 months later, wheras they will still be talking about Mane's red card #nextyear.

This.
They're on another amazing run, the problem comes when that ends.
This season, they'd been on a run of 1 defeat in 15 games before they played us, came to us and got stuffed and went on a run of 1 win in 9 in all comps (1 in 6 in the league).
Last season, they lost just twice at the halfway point, 2nd in the league 6 points off Chelsea due to 3 extra draws. They beat us, and then proceeded to win just 1 of the next 7 league games to drop out of contention.
2015/16 they were bobbins.
In 2014/15 (year after they won the title), they lost 6 of their first 12 games, went on a run of 1 defeat in 17 games (12 wins) then finished the season with 5 defeats in 9.
In 2013/14 (title winning season), started the season with 1 defeat in 9, then lost 4 of their next 10 games before their 16 game undefeated run before ending the season with 1 win in 3.
Seems to be a boom-bust pattern there, wonder if there was an image, like a chart, that could reflect that. Let's see if this season they can avoid a 2nd capitulation in their season after their "amazing run".
