Premier League Games 17th -21st Feb '24

I think they dip far less than us when not having their best team. They seem to be able to play whatever academy player they want and they not only step in and do a job, but they will even play outrageously good. We are the least complete of the three of us and it’s difficult to see that not counting against us. I don’t think we are on their level this season and it’s surprising we’re this close.
Our summer transfer window needs to improve. We can't afford to keep buying players that are no where near the level required.

If we lose the league this season, my first thought to where it went wrong will be the summer transfer window.
 
In their last 7 league games they have scored 4, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 4 and the 1 was at Arsenal. They are turning the screw.
 
Technically speaking; no, we don't. If they lose against us, but win every other game, it won't matter as long as we do the same. The main drawback with the draw against Chelsea was that it removed the safety net of a draw at Anfield being good enough. Now, assuming they keep winking, we have to win at Anfield.
I know technically you're right but my point was that realistically we'll need them to drop points outside of the game against us if we want to win the title.
 
Its a fallacy. If we sat back and hit long the game would be stretched just the same. We dont on purpose. We typically build slowly to prevent dangerous turn overs. Teams have time to retreat and get behind the ball.
if a team attack liverpool and turn it over, the ball is at their defence before they have time to retreat. we dont attack at pace like that.
Well said, the reason we won the game last night was because for once we decided to counter quickly rather than slowly build from the back.
