Well, we only won because Pep abandoned all his principles and became a pragmatist, "sacrificing finesse for fierceness" (I think the Daily Mail means "ferocity"). In the post-match press conference Pep actually asked one reporter what was different about the way City had played and he got a stammered reply ... Apart from that Klopp seemed to get the blame for picking an unimaginative midfield of uninspired workhorses while their fans blame it all on Lovren and the ref for disallowing a perfectly good goal just because the ball hadn't crossed the line... Of course, no one suggests they lost because their fabulous front three were muzzled for 89/90 minutes, City's midfield dominated the game, our front three gave their back line a real headache, we outplayed them and our crowd intimidated them... Denial mode.
