Wasn't the wider issue that you've been pitching up against 'rivals' for a long time (and in particular against Liverpool) and just getting rolled with alarming ease?

Compared to what? Liverpool losing for the first time against the same type of opposition for a couple of years, having gone down to 10 men in the first half?

You're right, entirely analogous.
