I don't think 4 points will be enough. 10 probably would have been especially with city's recent demoralising losses. But a couple of draws and city will be ahead. Still, second is a great achievement for Liverpool and CL qualification looks to be a foregone conclusoon

Still, second is a great achievement for Liverpool and CL qualification looks to be a foregone conclusoon Being pedantic here but 4 points will be enough, if we get to the end of the season with that lead. There's literally no point saying "well if you have a couple of draws City will be ahead" when City are the one who have dropped more points so you're some how assuming that they will be perfect for the rest of the season whilst we won't. There's this really weird impression at the moment (which, to be fair, was based on their fantastic performance last season) that City are this some sort of historically fantastic side. They're not. This season they've been caught short on a number of occasions, including last night, and they've dropped points in some very disappointing games. Are Liverpool miles better? No, but we've been much more consistent. One result doesn't change that we should right now be considered favourites for the title. The reaction, not necessarily to Wolves in the cup but certainly against Brighton, is going to be massive, always tricky going away from home but we should be able to brush past them with ease. If it's difficult and tight then yeah it's a bit more concerning but right now the world isn't ending because we lost to City away.

Yeah, if the entire team had shat the bed you'd worry about the pressure, but apart from noted bed shitter Lovren, they played decently in the circumstances and much the same as they have the rest of the season

Team Narrowly Loses Away Against Record Breaking Champions Camp A: *hand wringing ensues* Camp B: *Prepares 9001 slide PowerPoint on why Team cannot possibly put another foot wrong over the next 17 matches and demonstrates that 4 and 10 are basically the same*

City were lucky yesterday in how many goal line clearances they made to deny Liverpool. They also had one of the tightest GLT decisions we'll ever see, denying Liverpool a goal that absolutely would've been given otherwise. It was an incredibly close match and Liverpool's first loss of the season. With both head-to-head matches out of the way and a four-point lead still there, Liverpool are still in the driver's seat. I know that losing like that sucks, but all the doom and gloom is a bit much.

I have to lol a bit at Klopp for his remarks on Kompany, it was almost like karma happening that he didn't see a red after Salah's dive a couple games back went totally unpunished.

I mean that screenshot is after the foul so...   It was debatable how he went down, but it was a pull back. Also neither you nor I said anything about van Dijk? Are we going to go back through every bad tackle any Liverpool player has done or received in the last what? three years? Why don't you have another meltdown about fans using "we".

Clearly there will be some variance as time goes on, but the last couple of season have been pretty straight forward in some respects. Liverpool haven't dropped points against a non-top 6 side this season...it's pretty reasonable to assume they are going to continue to at least do very well against those teams. gtkor fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Jan 4, 2019 |

Clearly there will be some variance as time goes on, but the last couple of season have been pretty straight forward in some respects. When you assume, you make an “rear end” out of “u” and “me.” In all seriousness, I hope Liverpool can just take the rest of the season one match at a time and not go into meltdown. If your plan to win the league involves never, ever losing, then it probably will not work. Champion sides usually stumble at some point and it’s up to the players and manager not to stumble for too long. Chelsea and Spurs still have hope and targets to play for and the league is filled with teams that can make trouble for Liverpool. loving up isn’t predestined, but neither is winning. It’s up to Liverpool to demonstrate whether it has the quality to stay in front until the end.

It's end of season form that will matter and we all know that Liverpool have repeatedly fallen in the final straight and will do so again.

The main difference I'd say between this side and the '13 side is that the 13 side relied on ending games early and didnt know how to win scrappy games. That and having a manager who has experience winning title(s) helps down the stretch

It's end of season form that will matter and we all know that Liverpool have repeatedly fallen in the final straight and will do so again. I think "repeatedly fallen" is not particularly fair. In 13/14 after being top at Christmas we lost the next two games, then lost one more game all season. What killed us were really two draws (West Brom and Villa) that we really should have won. In 2008/09 it was draws throughout January. We won 5 games on the bounce to finish the season. Your thinking is "what has happened before is completely irrelevant, what happened 5-10 years ago is more relevant" which is utter nonsense tbqh.
