      Spuds have been impressive in the CL so far, so even if Citeh do get past them [and don't think it's a given seeing Spuds recent matches in the competition] the games should take more wind out of Citeh, than the Porto matches out of us [just going on past matches with Porto].
      Definitely think Citeh have a tougher April. They have been strong and have kept winning, but this month is a bigger test for them. Expect them to beat Cardiff comfortably, but let's see after that...

      I think the triple header vs Spurs - including the Palace game inbeteeen is a huge ask for them.

      Interestingly they lost to us home and away and Utd in the equivalent period last season.

      It’s a lot to peak for emotionally.

      Certainly some big games in there within a short period.
      They still have the option of 6 players for 3 positions up front though.

      The only good thing about this is when it's mattered most this season, despite having so many options, more often than not they are relying on Aguero and Sterling. Mahrez can't get a game and then looks lack of match sharpness when he does play, Jesus is very hit and miss and Sane for as good a player he is, he can easily get lost in a game and have no impact. But they are all top class players that will walk into the majority of teams so despite what I've just said, you really can't underestimate them.

      It doesn’t matter how world class they are. We’ve had all the luck and they don’t. On the final stretch, it’s all that matters.

      Don’t forget we’ve playing sh*te but bringing home those three points.

      I wouldn't say there was much luck for LFC when Harry Maguire wasn't shown a red card
      and then equalised. People choose to ignore stuff like that.

      Or when Kompany wasn’t sent off against us, the same game they got saved by the skin of their teeth with a line clearance.

      I’d say City have had just as much luck as us.

      Also LFC quite unlucky to be toe to toe with the most financially doped team in history.
      Without City Klopp's team would be cruising to the title.

      Lucky? Nah.

      Yup.

      If the ball goes over the line versus City at the Etihad and the goal versus the arse is given there’s a 5 point swing.......

      Luck is relative. It might decide a fins but not a season.

      After matchday 35 / City on 34

      Man City away at Man United tonight which is a big opportunity for them to get a better than expected result and cut the gap with Liverpool based on opposition faced.  Spurs have stabilised their season in the last four matches, Man Utd's initial improvement under Solskjaer has turned south. 

      Race for the title



      Race for top four

      All played 35 now.  A big three points for City and anything better than a draw v Burnley would be a good result for them.

      Title race



      Top four

      Compared to title form

      LFC and (Man City) Played 35

      - Outstanding results = 1 (2)
      - Great results = 5 (6)
      - Good results = 1 (1)
      - Expected results = 26 (21)
      - Disappointing results = 0 (2)
      - Poor results = 2 (1)
      - Shocking results = 0 (2)

      Liverpool with a handful more 'expected' results this season 26/35 compared to 21/35 for City. 

      Liverpool have had 2 bad results compared to 5 for Man City. 

      But City have had 9 better than expected results to our 7.

      Martin Atkinson, when we played Leicester where he had a clear view of the foul on Keita in the box.

      Always interesting. JD, what is the distinction between Disappointing, Poor and Shocking?

      What costed us the title was this period in which Salah was out of form, did not score but still started every game. I'm not blaming Klopp for that, Salah is still one of the best players in the world right now, but I think we could have won those games we drew if we had replaced an out-of-form Salah with Shaqiri, Origi or Sturridge.

      I might be wrong, we'll  never know. But it's clear that the games against Leicester, West-Ham, Everton, Man Utd were all winnable but we did not do what it takes. We've payed it cash.

      again you never want to look at the otherside of the balance sheet and our last minute wins against Everton and Spurs and Newcastle 6 points won in just 3 games.
