There are still points to be dropped yet between both sides I think anyways. Not giving City a 4 point cushion was so important. Keeps things exciting, think we have it in the bag now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted April 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 10, 2022 City’s title now. Liverpool still have Spurs to play so that’s 3 points dropped against the best front three in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,616 Posted April 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 10, 2022 Think Pep will be the more upset of the two managers. City were superb in that first half and really should have had another goal based on how they were playing. It did end fairly imo but they had the better chances and failed to capitalize on them.

Lucas 3,828 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I think City missed a good chance to kill the title race personally. When they look back on that, they will surely reflect on missing some guilt-edged situations, no more so than the very end. I think they have a case to be a little pissed off with Taylor for being as lenient as he was with Thiago and Fabinho, but you can see the referee didn't want to ruin the game with a red and get the spotlight on him. Liverpool were a little off colour, not their usual selves but it was a weird situation for them today. Not usual for them to go into a game not favourites and the fear of a title ending loss stopped them cutting loose i think, certainly there for the taking. They have to be chuffed with the point really. Final word. Now if I was them, I'd give Mo Salah midweek off and arguably next Saturday's Cup semi. Bring him back for the next league game in 10 or 11 days time. They can cope with Mane, Diaz, Jota, Firmino and Origi. If ever a bloke needed a break, he looks mentally faigued as much as he does physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also doesn't need a £500k a week 5 year contract either like some seem to think. Hes good, but as Messi, Ronaldo etc have proved.. you shouldn't be handing contracts like that out for.players in the latter stages of their careers.

He needs to reach a compromise and appreciate where he's at. It's unrealistic and will only act as a benchmark for others to use when their contracts come up. If you bow to those demands, I think it goes against what you stand for as a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't bowing to his demands. By all accounts he has been made an offer that the club are comfortable with and told him 'take it or leave it'. I love Salah but at the end of the day you can't just go shattering a wage structure for 1 player or where does it end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to baseball, giving players in their peak contracts that run into their declining years is a terrible investment. 500K/pw also means that portion of the payroll is bricked in until the contract ends as nobody will be able to sign him.

Devil-Dick Willie 3,254 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Definitely a worse draw for city on balance of play, as they should have won that comfortably, but the draw does them more favors.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMike 3,012 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Man City arguably edged it but don't think a draw was an unfair result. Brilliant game, the quality on show was something else, as was the intensity. I just can't enjoy these games in the moment though because of what's at stake. And we have to do it all again on Saturday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claret and Blue 72 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Watching man United other day then these day makes you realise how far behind united are in terms of everything. I've heard some united fans saying oh couple of players we'll be challenging. Try another 6⃣ or 7⃣ players. It's not a dig at united I want united to do well apart from when they play Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed them too much respect and we were so poor in possession, constantly giving the ball away. Second half was much better and we arguably shaded it. So yeah I agree a draw was possibly a fair result but a result that favours them nonetheless. I also agree that they are not enjoyable to watch, except for the neutrals.

Rick 2,276 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Save for 10 minutes when we scored, we were poor for most the first half. The midfield we’re letting De Bruyne and Silva waltz to the edge of the box, the back four were terrible defensively and their passing was panicked. Every time we had a break, it seemed like a mis placed pass ruined it. The players were frazzled and it was clear they got a rollicking half time to kick them into gear.
