Suspect we'll find out in the summer !

Decent Merseyside derby. No goals though.
Wonder if van Dijk has ever had a bad game!
Awesome again today.

More points dropped for Liverpool, they were pretty dire up front, Everton fought well, City with the advantage. A victory for us at Anfield next week could be the story of the season, they'd talk about it for years, would love our club to be pivotal in the story.

Silva had a tactical masterclass.

Held back their best players to make it scrappy. Then brought their stars on to run at them and finished stronger of the two.

We should do the same next week.

Keane was immense though as was Van Dyke.

Interesting stat I just noticed. Fulham midfielder Kevin McDonald has won just 3 times in all his 38 PL outings in his career. That record is the second worst of any player as Rudy Gested only won 2 out of 51. All a bit anorak, but interesting I thought. Well it was to me!

The wind was to blame again for Liverpool failing to win.

I'd love Burnley to be pivotal in the story - by beating Man City in April!

I'm a bit bored of the relentless City juggernaut - I've got a feeling they won't drop another point between now and the end of the season but I' m really hoping Burnley upset them at Turf Moor. Give me the choice of beating Liverpool or City and I'd take the City game every time.

Klopp and the Liverpool players look beaten. They have blown a great chance to win the league. City are the stronger team by far and now they’ve completely made up the deficit from their blip they will win the league comfortably I should imagine.

What has happened to Salah?

Salah is saving himself for the big test next week.

Reality check for Brendan Rodgers,shouldn't be a surprise he's never won his debut fixture at any of his previous 4 English clubs.

Big blow for Liverpool today,if City beat Watford next Saturday,the gap is 4 points,hopefully the pressure will get to the Scousers on the Sunday.

No way.....don't care that much about who wins the league, I just want us to get 2 more wins on the board as quickly as possible.

Do they really know the Laws of the Game? It wasn't unlucky --he was offside! Arsenal were unlucky to concede a penalty against Spurs because there 5 Spurs players offside when the original free kick came in and Kane was one of them but he got pushed and won a penalty --it is becoming a joke! Never mind, VAR will sort it all!
That reminds me of the summarised last Tuesday against Newcastle. Martin Keown was extolling the virtues of Wagstaff?, scorer of their second goal. Touting him for international call up he compared him to West Ham's Declan Rice stating that he thought the Newcastle player was better because of his goal threat. I think the goal he scored against us was his first ever in the Premier league. They really do make it up as they go along.
