GWT: PL Matchweek 24/25

[YNWA14]

Pfft, most of us think destiny means they’ll choke it.

The term choke is used too often. City have much better depth, are better overall, and are more consistent. I mean you can call it a choke because Liverpool are ahead but again, these types of results were never overly unlikely (assuming this result holds or gets worse).

They should be down. That's still one bonus point again.

I would have to agree, City is too good and there is too much time left in the season. If they lose a 7 point lead with 3 matches to go or something, then you could call it a choke.

 

[Chimaera]

They were top at Christmas. They could have logically had a 7 point, or more, lead. If they collapse, it’s still a big if, even if they have a better squad, it’s a choke.

 

[Chimaera]

I personally think they gambled the injury game in not adding come January and might lose it.

Best chance they’ve ever had at winning it all, and I think they should’ve gone out and got something

As said above...if we were later in the season maybe. There's still plenty of games to play. I don't know why Christmas is used as a benchmark given how much of the season is left.

Look at the historical record. I understand it’s somewhat different when you have what’s honestly a great team in City, but historically, when you’re up this much, you don’t lose it.

It's not like top 4 teams came in and thrashed them.

They dropped to Leicester with a chance to go up 7 and now they're dropping to West Ham.

I would argue they never should have been in that position, but they were.

Pathetic.

 

[Halladay]

They werent playing well before and still winning. Got lucky against Everton for example.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Origi my god

 

[Jersey Fresh]

If that went in...

Hard-faught point. And it should have been three with Rice's chance still.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

do they know what offside is?

 

[Live in the Now]

There was always going to be twists and turns. We'll see what happens.

 

[YNWA14]

City are an historically dominant team in the PL era. Liverpool are still a thin squad overall and have a bunch of injury issues at the moment. Their handling of that situation could have been a lot better, but ultimately, like I said at Christmas, I don't think that they're the favourites to win the title really. I think City have just as good a chance and it could go either way.

 

[Evilo]

Imagine Origi scores on that offside goal.

I agree with this, too.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

These linesmen did their best to give LFC all 3 points but alas they couldn't save them.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Another clear offside not called

If you swap Spurs for Liverpool, I would say the same thing. When the season started I said City/Liverpool/Spurs. I still say that will be it.

 

[Chimaera]

Not good enough.

I don’t know what happened in Dubai, but everyone seems to have gotten hurt.

 

[Halladay]

Got Bournemouth next, could be just what they need.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Would love to know what Klopp was just arguing about.

 

[Jack Straw]

Can't believe LFC didn't win the game on that last shot.

 

[Chimaera]

Klopp going after the refs for something.

He should go after the attackers who didn’t play well

 

[Burner Account]

I don't know what the diagnosis is. Other than the goal that shouldn't have counted, not a peep from the front three.
