Sanguine Thiago, who returned to the Liverpool side after nine months out, against Arsenal, played ten minutes as a sub and got injured again. He has a 'muscle problem' that will keep him out for weeks. Guy is made of actual jelly. No way he stays at the club following his contract expiry.

Must be the biggest waste of money ever! He has been utter **** for Liverpool seemingly never managing more than 2 games before injury striking. I'd pay his contract up now.

Sanguine Does feel like City are starting to do City things again. Five wins in a row - and their next three league games are at home. That said, Liverpool have got a lot of their tougher fixtures out of the way. Looking at their next eight - they host Burnley, Luton, Brighton and Sheffield United, and have trips to Brentford, Forest and Everton, all sandwiching a trip to the Etihad. Well, we could be looking at another run-in like a few years back where both teams just kept winning, and winning, and winning.
I'll take City to win the league by five points. Obviously hoping for the jinx.

With, no doubt, the Liverpool v City game in March being promoted and sold as the title decider.

Ah, yeah it's at Anfield, not the Etihad.
Liverpool's 'fortress' so important then. Aside from that odd six game losing run during COVID, they have lost once in their last 110 home league games. City win there, the title is theirs.

HendoBRO_BOTWestYorksRoyal Absolutely magnificent from Villa tonight. Definitely a performance that suggests top 4, but I'll only start believing if they're still there in April.
Utd 3 points of City. The Blues have really shat the bed this last month or so
Just getting ready for their 15 game winning run.

Liverpool haven't been that good this season but are top (& undefeated at home iirc). The next eight does look fairly comfortable
When Fergie first announced his retirement Utd shat the bed. Very limited sample size on how it affects teams tbf

I do wonder if the 'not actually that good' stuff is a bit of a meme. Best defence, only City have scored more, most points won from losing positions. The team keeps winning. Still think it is City's title though.

And Liverpool are probably the best of the elite teams to watch 'cos they never seem convincing and there's always a chance they'll screw up, unlike City who just seem to go on and on and on winning once they hit January.
Summer is going to be interesting as Alonso could move them to an entirely different level esp. as it seems likely he might get a proverbial warchest to use. Of course he could crash and burn but think he's certainly a better fit for them than David Moyes was being a fit at Man U (which then led to the van Gaal panic).
