California. Duh.
Both games probably should have been won by the home team but ended 2-2.

A point back with 7 games to go. Been here before.

I haven’t exhaled in 2 hours. Wow.

Must have set a record for most long switches in a single match.

City have such an easier run left on the slate. Liverpool still have Man U twice, Spurs and Everton.

All and all a predictable result. City have the easier run in on paper … but it seems to me they have more pressure on them. When they slip up it’s usually due to not taking their chances. Liverpool will just keep plugging on.

And they have to play again next weekend. Sheesh ... Not boring though.

Man U twice?

I see one game against each left, and all at Anfield.
Only once, they already tonked United 5-0 at Old Trafford.

Liverpool Dropped Points:

Draws: City (A), Chelsea (A), Spurs (A), Brighton (H), City (H), Brentford (A), Chelsea (H)

Loses: Leicester (A), West Ham (A)

Remaining: United (H), Everton (H), Newcastle (A), Spurs (H), Villa (A), Southampton (A), Wolves (H)



City Dropped Points:

Draws: Liverpool (H), Palace (A), Southampton (A), Liverpool (A), Southampton (H)

Loses: Spurs (H), Palace (H), Spurs (A)

Remaining: Brighton (H), Watford (H), Leeds (A), Newcastle (H), West Ham (A), Wolves (A), Villa (H)

And his salary is going to be greater than the GDP of most small nations.

Surely all they need is a competent striker? They don’t have to cost megabucks.
What are you arguing? should City not want Haaland? The money argument is so tiring everyone at the top has spent. Just not into this today

It's the arrogance of a City fan to say that all he wants is the most sought-after player on the planet, as if he's not asking for much. But you know that, you enjoy tweaking everyone.

That said, hope you don't die. Get better so we can do this again next weekend.

Really? Your team probably won the league today and all you can do is whine they haven’t spent enough money so they can win 38 straight next year.

@teddykgb - sorry to hear you are sick ! Get better!

Klopps post game interview was about the best coach talk I've ever seen immediately after a ballbuster game in any sport.

Your best ever argument for this was - What should City do, not strengthen their squad? That’s it, that’s all.

And yet City still won’t separate from Liverpool.

It really is fun listening to both managers after this. Refreshing when compared to all the grumps in charge of the top teams in the past.

I think most PL managers are pretty well schooled in media relations these days. It seems like such a big part of the job description. In many ways they are the top pitchman of a global brand and not just a coach.
