Talking of todays pressers-

Much more of this mutual respect and Klopp and Pep’s ‘bromance’ will need a room haha ..... ‘You’re the best side in the World!’ ..... ‘No, you’re the best side in the World!’ ..... ‘No, YOU’RE the best side in the World!’ ...., ‘NO, YOU’RE the best side in the World!’ .....

Counting down the hours to what could well be a season defining, mouth watering clash tomorrow with everything on the line.

If L’pool win, that’s the league boxed for me. Seriously.

10 point lead. Whi was the last to lose that? Newcastle? These Reds aren’t dropping 4 games. This isn’t the frailties of previous L’pool title challengers under Ged, Rafa and Rodgers. We aren’t built that way.

For City, it’s as much a ‘must not lose’ as ‘must win.’ And you know we’ll be going there, as we go everywhere, playing for the win. They avoid defeat, it’s game on. They don’t .....

Sounds mad but this is a potential title decider at the turn of the New Year. I firmly believe that.

Just garbage that we aren’t enjoying the NY in Manchester yeaterday/ today as we should be and have to wait until Thursday! ****** Sky!!!!!

Would argue the Kane part. Yes he wont do flashy dribles and pace past all oponnents. But he has the abilty to be game changer, by just being there on pitch he is game changer. More often defenders must double on him if not he will punish with long shots, he has amazingly good abilty for big striker to pass and see his teammates. Poch has made him into complete foward who has amazing abilty to drop deep and be teamplayer that many strikers lack.

All of that is only worth anything if players around you aren't useless. We see this with Lewandowski in national team on regular basis. Every time we have the ball he gets double marked, he will work his *** off harassing defenders, playing with back to goal, drawing a lot of fouls and generally he'll be a nuisance to the other team. But I'd trade that for peak Suarez in a second, because that guy just couldn't be marked out of the game period.
 
Last hour of work for the day then it’s off to (hopefully) win a league.

Buzzing!

Let’s do this!!!!!

And you. Should be a belter. As confident as I naturally are, you never lose sight of just how great City are and the ridiculous standards this team set last year.

I think we’re looking at the next few years of City- L’pool matches being season/ title defining moments. Wouldn’t surprise me either, if the draw keeps us apart, to have the ultimate meeting in Madrid come June.
 
Genuine question, why is it that a majority of fans of other big clubs (Arsenal, City (although they're more obvious in this context), United, Chelsea, Spurs etc.) absolutely hate the thought of Liverpool winning the title? Was in London a few weeks back and met lots of Spurs/Arsenal/QPR fans in particular and the consensus was "anyone but Liverpool". Obviously doesn't go for all fans of those clubs, but from my personal experience, a vast majority. I'd say United are more hated than Liverpool, but also more accepted for challenging/winning titles.

Obviously I don't want you to win the title, but the alternative is just as ****. If you deserve it, how can it begrudged? Irish LFC fans are ******' hard on the ear though, that's a big downfall.

Nervy game so far. Kompany should be off, Lovren up to his old tricks, and unlucky not to be level at HT. All to play for in the 2nd half.

Isn't that obvious? City, Chelsea and United are not going anywhere due to their financial backbone. Outside the rest of the top 6 , Liverpool's has by far the biggest potential for commercial growth. If they become a European powerhouse again top 4 will be financially out of reach for everybody else, Arsenal and Spurs are ****** and league becomes far less competetive.
 
You'll never hear the end of it if Liverpool won the title. At least if City do they don't have the fanbase big enough to gloat all summer!

That’s my main reason for preferring city over Liverpool to win it don’t know any Man City fans and know a few Liverpool ones
 
Great game. Deserved a draw but City had lady luck on their side today. Kinda glad to get that "unbeaten season" talk off our backs. Still 4 points clear though so not complaining too much!
 
Game could have gone either way. City got the luck today meh 4 points still in our hands. We will see what this team is made in the next couple of games.
 
Last time I saw a game that close was 1994 World Cup final. Top showing from both teams, draw would've been fair.
 
Top game. Breathless stuff. Both teams had moments of luck. Thought City just edged it. Both teams deserve to be where they are by a mile!

Do you really think your average football fans give it this much thought? Lol, you're giving them too much credit XD

I am in the camp of anyone but Liverpool. I don't dislike or have any bad feelings towards them i just don't like the media love in for klopp (and pochettino). Don't get me wrong both brilliant managers who i would of been more than happy to have had at arsenal but the thing that's ****** me off is klopp has been at Liverpool since 2015, pochettino at spurs since 2014 and neither of them have won
anything. Wenger in this same time period won 2 fa cups and was continuously slagged off throughout the media.

I dislike the amount of love both spurs and Liverpool have received in the media despite winning nothing, while another manager who has won trophies (regardless of whether you think the FA cup is a glamorous trophy or not) is consistently mocked.

For the record I fully supported the removal of Wenger, i just dislike the lack of respect for one manager who is winning trophies and mocked for finishing top 4 compared to two managers who are praised for finishing top 4 with no trophies. By all means both have done a great job at Liverpool and spurs, i just purely dislike the media bias.
