Apparently Klopp is making use of injury data and employing the output of Silicon Valley to make sure he has his players in top form. Wonder who he's stolen the data off? But I should think that with a team of asthmatics it would be the medication that kept them in top form and not a bit of dried up stolen data.

I wonder if we will see a repeat of what happened to them last season next season? They finished a country mile behind us and only managed to scrape Champions league qualification. They’ve ran miles and miles this year and will play every game they can play, there has to be a drop of somewhere. Good news for us is City will improve, it feels like the team has had to make do with the no striker situation for another season due to not landing Kane.

Interesting point you raise about the drop off. Quite possibly, is the answer. Although last season it has to be noted that injuries (yes, that old humbug) did do us quite a lot of damage, no matter which you look at it - not sure you could say it was fatigue that caused it all. I mean, we were playing nat Phillips, Rhys williams and ozan kabak at CB. But then again, maybe the injuries were related to the style of football...no idea.

I'd say that we've become a lot better at not wasting energy, in that we don't run like men possessed for the full 90 like early in klopps charge, plus we've rotated massively as well. But we will see!

And yep, agree RE haaland. Bad news for us but certainly what you need.

Interesting new narative from Jurgen Krap yesterday on the BBC Sport website where he is quoted in an interview as saying that they only lost the title in 2019 - not by a point; goal difference; lack of ventolin - but by 11 millimetres. Harking back to the great goal line clearance by John Stones, who saved a goal for us. He's absolutely pathetic.
It was a save - like a goal keeping save; a great tackle; whatever!
So, there you have it - the cultists have found the way to get extra sympathy for the narrowest failure. Another great runners-up performance. It should be engraved on their losers medals accordingly, "Best ever runners-up performance - only 11mm short of a league win 2018/19."
Bless.

haha, i know what you mean.

I'm not a fan of any of those lines of thought. IF we scored, then you might have reacted tenfold and scored 2/3 more. And by the way, IF we hadn't missed sitters in some of the prior games we would have won by many points etc etc etc.

It does illustrate the fine margins of title races tho. It's not unreasonable to say that IF JS hadn't made that clearance, that the title race may have gone differently.

But 'if's' don't quite cut it because at the end of the day, no one cares :) and its not logical to blame a loss on one moment when its a accumulation of many moments.

I've seen the figures. If balls less than 12mm from being over the line counted as goals, they would have won the league. Where was var when they needed it.

One thing you notice about Liverpool is they have a lot more strength in depth now, they can have Jota or Firminho on the bench and send them on and change a game. Will be interesting to see if they cash in on either Mane or Salah and then refresh the squad with a few more players.
 
The irony of this. We don’t matter, yet he pens a 4 paragraph rant about us. Fucking idiot.

It sometimes feels like we live in an alternate universe to the rest of the footballing world. In the last few weeks we've had this dipshit and the other mercenary dipshit at Chelsea talking about how 'the whole country wants Liverpool to win'. Genuinely incredible considering how much we're hated by pretty much every fanbase. The lack of recognition argument is also just incredible. Earlier in the season we had people saying this City team is the best team in PL history, its a perfect squad, they can change all 11 players with no drop off. Then they bottled the EFL Cup, bottled the CL and we beasted them in the FA Cup. The bald one must be absolutely bricking it that they bottle it on Sunday.

On both sides of the coin it all comes down to no one caring about city.

For other fans, even for their most hated local rivals, it doesn't matter at all that city win the league, because every person bar the abu dhabi twitter bots know why they win the league, and know the day the sheikhs ride into the sunset that city won't even exist. It's so, so easy to dismiss. They're a complete irrelevance.

And for city it's that desperation for people to care, to be hated or respected in the way we are. But it's never going to happen. They could win the next 20 leagues and no one will care because everyone knows what its built on. When Chelsea got their money, they kind of became a supercharged version of themselves - it all kind of fitted. City have even more money, but they've just become a completely different entity, unrecognizable from what they really are. And a really strange entity at that, with a brilliant but uncomfortable man at the helm.

When I see Pep talking about Colin Bell or Mike Sumerbee I just laugh. There isn't a single chance he knew or cared for Man City's history prior to them offering him wheelbarrows full of cash. It's so false and akward. But admitting what they are - what they really are - is even more unpleasant. They'll never, ever have any respect because they'll never matter.
