We as city fans don’t seem to care if we ‘don’t retain’ the league but are more concerned about one particular team winning it (Liverpool) ... bet most of us would gladly take it if Chelsea or Spurs were to somehow win it ahead of Liverpool (if we weren’t to win it this year, obviously) ... that’s the difference ... while our fears are of someone else winning it, Liverpool fans are worried about their own team fuckiting it up ... so tensions and nerves over there are 1000 times more than whatever we’re feeling ... and exactly what makes them more combustible and that nervousness can be easily passed onto the team/manager over there than it is to effect our players that way. We saw a bit of it against Leicester and now watch it happen again tomorrow against Pelligrini’s men (although being away might not be as much as it’d effect them at their remaining home games at Anfield).
Plus the fact that we have three other competitions we’re still in means all will be getting enough game time to keep everyone happy ... over there, one bad performance by a certain player individually would put pressure on the manager to change things, pressure from fans to change something, pressure from players sitting on bench to change ...
That overall pressure from within is going to combust it all for them ... and very soon!
And it’s going to be very sweet ... for ALL football fans up and down the country ;)
