    If they larrup City tomorrow can we give up the shtick?

    It's not going to be a 90 point season, realistically 7 wins from here probably wins it for Liverpool, assuming they don't lose the other 5. Arsenal need 10 wins from 12 to get to 83 points.

    No shtick here. Just PTSD.

    I'm not writing City off for this title yet.

    83 is also the absolute maximum City can get to.

    7 wins from 12.

    Jorgensen . Haven't Chelsea spent about £300m on 'keepers over the past 5/6 years? Is he really the best of the crowd?

    This is where I'm at.

    Interestingly Liverpool have not won at Man City in the league in now 10 years. To put it into perspective, that was when Firmino scored his first league goal for the club and I believe the only players in the squad now, that were even here then is Gomez and Trent on youth contracts.

    The thing that tends to cut out momentum is teams that pack out the centre of the pitch, but not necessarily in a low block. This teams main idea is a risky ball through into Gravenberch or Mac Allister on a half turn, to spring them free onto the defence. If you cut that out it tends to take them a while to work it out. I don't really think City have the players to do this, so I expect this will be a more fun game. Liverpool also leaky at the back right now so high scoring draw for me.

    Are there any good keepers in the world under 30? I'm not sure there are. Position has completely changed and I'm not sure anyone has caught up with it.

    Jorgensen is better than Sanchez, comfortably.

    Watching Lewis Hall and Livramento makes me properly seethe every time. Sold this pair to boost PSR so that you could sign a lorryload of complete mercenary wank from abroad. Rinse and repeat, what's the point of even being a supporter.

    To be fair he probably needed the move. He’s obviously a good player, maybe not absolute top level but something wasn’t working for him there anymore.

    The Hall sale looks more mental every time I see him play. He’s come on leaps and bounds over the last year or so and looks to have a bit of everything about him.

    Liverpool's XI looks a little funky as well.

    BBC have Jones wide left.

    It'll be Diaz through the middle with Jones and Szoboszlai interchanging between the #10 and left positions, I think.

    I suspect City play much better without Haaland but score less through the middle. With the Arsenal result yesterday I see this as something of a free hit. Anything that isn't a loss is a bonus so go for it.

    Hall could have been fully formed Roberto Carlos and they would still have sold him. In fact it would have been even more certain.

    If Marmoush scores and smiles is he going to call it a 'glowing Egyptian grin'? There can't be much left in the locker.

    Maybe a 'shining Egyptian smirk' for the third.

    Jeremy Doku is like Jeremy Corbyn. Pinned to the left, lots of fancy ideas, absolutely no ability to deliver.

    Does this make Trent the Tory party? Trying to be on the right but with no clue on what to do.

    Trent is more like our Jimmy. Top quality, always delivers, and well respected. Yet with a strong sense that he's not quite where he should be. Plenty of people who think he probably doesn't belong on the right, and in many ways suspect he isn't, fully.

    Much better than I can do. Fair play.

    Very odd to find us 2-0 up without really doing anything. City just look terrified to play.

    Another lucky goal and assist for Salah. One lucky goal away from becoming Liverpool’s third all time goal scorer.

    Szobo’s been brilliant, it’s nice to see after the months of unfulfilled potential.

    Signings from Germany tend to go the same way. They have that winter break there which aids their stupid football that outlaws defending.

    No surprise that both he and Gravenberch came over and started well, but faded away after the turn of the year last time. He could still do with scoring a few more but hard to argue his improvement.

    I always said that football 1885-2020 was awful because goals like that kept being given. Thankfully these days that's been put right and we have a much better sport.

    I cannot fathom how no-one in charge has realised that now we can pretty much get offsides 'correct' to the mm, that it might be an idea to change the wording/approach of the rule itself. Say what you want about American sports, but were a similar thing in the NBA Adam Silver would have pushed off whoever was fellating him and been on the blower to get that shit sorted out in time for the return from the next ad break. We've had it in football for four years now and nothing.
