I really dont like Liverpool, and try not to watch them if I can help it.
And I hate West Ham, so how I ended up watching the game last night I cant quite fathom.
Anyway. Liverpool basically confirmed what I thought of them. They are Leicester in red (theres a song there).
Bypass the midfield and hope the pacy forwards do the business. Thats literally it.
I dont think Fabinho touched the ball until the second half. Keita looks like a total waste of money, and while Lallana saw the ball a fair bit it was all in the final 3rd.
Their defence looks ropey too, as does the keeper. I know they have injuries, but it looked shakey - the whole team did.
And I remain convinced Firmino is the main man. A really good player who makes their whole tactic work - without him they are literally a midtable side IMHO.
Liverpool have a questionable meteorology, and you could see those doubts creeping in last night. If City win tomorrow the pressure is really there.
Liverpool have a tough game against Watford, while City roll over West Ham. Then City roll over Bournemouth so by the time of the mersey side derby Liverpool are under even bigger pressure....
