It's safe to say, I sincerely hope the red half of Manchester twat you tomorrow night, but realistically I know that isn't going to happen and you'll probably run out winners - much to my dismay.

Never the less, it's been a very good ding-dong this season for the League title and whomever wins it will thoroughly deserve it; whoever ends up runners-up deserves praise for making this title bout what it is - nerve racking for those with skin in this game!

Win or runner-up, I'm over the moon with how the Reds have closed that 18 pt gap from last season, massive improvement from us on that front, hopefully a sign of things to come as we're moving currently in the right direction.

As for City, well in fairness I don't watch any other team unless Liverpool play them, so cannot really give an overall view from my perspective about them, but their record and stats speak for themselves, compounded by the media declaring them 'the best team ever' etc. and salivating over the prospect of them doing a quadruple for a fair part of the campaign. They clearly are a world class side and its a good sign for any team measuring themselves against the current top-dog.

Welcome to the forum. It has been a great season so far and in all honesty Liverpool have surprised me with how consistent they have become this season - it seemed the usual boom, bust cycle would come at some point but it hasn't - much to my annoyance
 
Klopp' clearly improved them defensively. Van Dijk's an excellent player but not, imo, quite the "Rolls Royce, World Class, POTY shoe in" guy the media are portraying him as, maybe they're looking for someone other than Sterling. Their full backs are good and quick and they don't fear set pieces the way they used to, that allows them to defend 'risk free' and counter quickly. You rarely see any sort of intricate passing movements from their back four (or any sort of passing whatsoever from their midfield) and any sign of danger sees the ball disappear into Row Z and they regroup, confident of dealing with the throw in or corner. It may not be as pretty in the eye, and certainly wouldn't find a way into Pep's coaching manual but it's been very effective for them this season.

it has indeed. If the unimaginable occurs and they win the title. it would be then interesting to see how they cope when the remaining teams in the league play that much harder against the champions of last year....how would Liverpool cope with 90% of the league closing ranks and shutting up shop against them ??

You must be devastated letting a 10 point lead slip this season then!!

There is not a chance VVD gets even a mention for POTY if he played for anyone else.
Imagine if we had got him, or if he stayed at Southampton..... he wouldn’t even be in the conversation
