Right. Liverpool fan here. Someone tweeted about this and my job is pretty mundane so I thought I'd take a gander.
FWIW, as much as I like winning every game, I'd love to be involved in a proper topsy-turvy title race. Last year's was crap, there weren't any twists post February it was just two teams maintaining the same position and winning every week. Bit rubbish. This year's obviously is looking like a bit of a procession. So hopefully next year, when City are fully fit and we're on a slight comedown, things will get interesting.
I think VAR is an interesting one, a lot of people seem to think we've paid them off or something. It's very iffy, particularly when it comes to offsides, but it hasn't actually done that much in terms of benefiting us. If you look at what it's overturned, it's not that many. It's mainly the refereeing decisions which have helped - just like last year ;). The other thing I remember reading at the beginning of the season is we changed how we defend to counteract the introduction of VAR. I think it was a Ljinders interview, I'll see if I can find it but I do wonder how many other teams thought to do the same.
I think City win the CL this year, too. I know a lot of you claim not to care which is fair, but a lot of the players will, especially the manager. So it'll drive them. With Sane/Laporte back, you have the best on paper XI so I don't see any reason why you can't. Maybe you keep faltering because of a specific mentality (well aware of VAR last year). Similar to you at Anfield or us at Old Trafford. Dunno. Something you'd know more about.
Not gonna comment on some of the vitriol on here, because, while I never, ever go on RAWK, I would assume it's similar on there. That being said, the "dippers" shout - think it's time people just started to leave that behind. It's offensive, not in a playful way, and considering the way the country is going I think it's better for people to stick together than make shouts like that. Drop C-bombs all you like lol, just think it's kinda archaic and should be removed from here.
Anyway, enjoy your day, might check in later might not.
