Exactly what i was screaming at the telly. They had 3 dogs of war in midfield, bypassed it as you say Wimbledon style with 2 exceptional forwards in Salah/Mane with Frimino knitting it all together. These 3 in midfield protected the back 4 which made them seem top class. Compare that to how open City play and the fact we were so close to them in terms of goals conceded is astounding…The pundits on sky are a joke - they have no better understanding than any of us. They keep referring to Liverpools midfield used to bully teams and that isn’t the case. They used to bypass midfield and used the pace of Mane and Salah and the trickery of Firmino to outscore opponents which worked exceptionally for 18 months. They are now trying to play through midfield and that’s their main down fall. Giving the ball away cheaply and exposing the back 4 who are now reliant on a 30 year old VVD.
Now they have changed this, they are exposed and people should be realising their back 4 aren't quite what they were built up to be!!
This should be clear to the so called “experts” as its plainly obvious… its basic stuff. But this is what happens when you employ biased pundits
