I'm not missing it mate. You cannot say Liverpool will drop points when it matters, just because they did in (some) recent seasons. Any more than you can say Chelsea will win the league next year because they did in previous years.

And BTW, the only season previously where it's been a close run thing with the pressure full on and every game being crucial, was the 18/19 season when we got 98 points and won it by 1. They didn't drop a single point in the run-in (and fortunately, neither did we).

I feel like I'm going a bit mad right now and don't know where the confusion is. I'm not predicting anything. Do not is past tense, will not is future tense. I am saying "Liverpool don't drop points when it matters" is a hypothesis we can test against the available data we have which says that they have dropped points when it matters. It's like saying "Chelsea don't win the league"...when they have done.

Yep. In tough away games this season their defence has looked porous, West Ham Chelsea and Spurs scored 8 goals combined. They lost at Leicester and were fortunate to steal a win at Wolves.

If we had to choose the toughest possible fixture for them now I think many people would pick Arsenal away, it was probably our toughest away game of the season. They’re on the up, their ground will be bouncing and they beat the dippers last year at this time of the season.

I think we might see Mikel do us a massive favour

Average points per last 5 games, including last night. Momentum has changed as well all know. (only Liverpool in red and City in blue are coloured lines)
 
Don't know how to view last nights result. Will it be the one point that wins us the title or the two points that lose it. Still in our hands but too close for comfort.
Let's not forget that the dippers are on a roll and can potentially,god for forbid, still win all four trophies.
 
I think January was massive for Liverpool. After a rocky run they stabilised got their form back and added Diaz who's added so much to their squad.

You said they don't drop points when it counts. Clearly, it that were the case, they'd have a few more league titles. They've dropped points when it counted in every season bar one for 30 years.

Fair enough - but there's dropping points when you're not good enough and dropping points when you are - which sadly they are now. As someone else stated - they do seem to be a particularly persistent turd that simply won't flush.
