I keep on hearing and reading that "City can go on a run of games" at any point.

Last season, did they manage to string 4 consecutive wins together? Are they better than last season, they currently look worse?

I also disagree with the idea that they were unlucky, ache we were lucky last season - based on the "underlying numbers". We were streets ahead of them last season, they didn't even offer a challenge.

Liverpool are undoubtedly better this season. The players have had another year of Klopp's coaching, they now know how to win the league, age we've made a few very astute signings. City haven't improved. They've stagnated. I'd be far more surprised if city finish above (or even close to) us, than if they manage to finish outside the top 2. I still think they will finish second, as there doesn't seem to be anyone to seriously challenge them. But they don't seem to be closing that gap that we've opened up over the last 12 months+.

Carragher's argument appears to be that TTA didn't mean to foul him so it cannot be a penalty. Well I would say that a lot of fouls, the player doesn't mean to give away a foul. So if you don't mean to foul it's no free kick. Bollox.

That’s why he didn't get a red card. Definitely stopped a goal scoring opportunity intentional or not

Has it been confirmed that the VAR thought the penalty should be overturned? Because, as someone pointed out on the Match thread, it would make more sense that he was telling the referee to check for a possible red card. That would mean this particular decision went FOR Liverpool, not against them.

That was me and im not so sure anymore. Doesn't it normally say what the VAR ref is checking for? If he had been checking for a red then I am sure it would have been mentioned
