All true but you cannot argue that the Liverpool game at our place is not huge. And Pep will have a lot to do with that.I don’t think pep has anything to do with it. We won 15 games on the bounce after an iffy start. Liverpools form is just very good. They had a rough spell in the middle but early doors they were good and more recently too. They are very clinical even when they don’t play particularly well.
Who knows we could batter them, but I suspect we will lose because I think Klopp is a better manager IF the objective is win a single game at all costs. It's a different skill to winning overall over 38 games.

Spot onYes, we always dominate.
I meant in must-win games, knock-out stages etc. Is it a pure coincidence he hasn't won the CL in 11 years despite having what's regarded as the best side for several of those years, and a competitive one for all of them? It's starting to look like a pattern. Whilst he's brilliant at getting the whole squad playing interchangeably and able to manage injuries and suspensions over a while season - his in-game tactics are often questionable or just downright bizarre. I mean just look at that shit show of a CL final. Or the travesty against Lyon FFS. Or Liverpool the year before. Or Spurs before that. Its serial balls ups in crucial games.

We should never have lost to Spurs over 2 legs should we. And what about Lyon? And the FA cup last year, or the year before? What about scoring 6 against Monaco and going out? And the derbies against Solskjaer for God's sake? And his infuriating habit of leaving great players on the bench and not making changes when we are struggling.Champions league final I give you but Liverpool beat us by attacking our players bus and Sours was down to missed pen by Kun in first leg then dodgy VAR
Don't get me wrong - he's a brilliant manager but no-one is perfect.

That's one of our problems we don't have enough counterattacks, whereas the dippers are doing it all the timeMaybe we need to concede a few corners so we can counterattack

I’m nervous but confident. Mainly because the manager and team are cool as a breeze, they don’t ever look nervous or under pressure even when things aren’t going our way, always seem calm. Klopp on the other hand in a must win game at the Etihad is liable to do anything. Personally would rather be cool and calm going into that game against them rather than having gotten several blows to the chest to try pump me up in the dressing room off the manager going into the same game.
The answer is to play them at their own game. Set up to defend even against these Palace like teams. They wouldn't know what to do with this apparent stalemate and they wouldn't be able to attack us after we'd flooded their defense with 10 men. But I feel we'd lose more points over the course of the season in draws in doing that. So what else do we do?Maybe we need to concede a few corners so we can counterattack
