I was surprised they took Keita off. He was having a very good game, bursting through the packed lines and laying it off. Thought Minamino looked tidy, but he was less effective and more often than not just ended up playing in front of the Everton defence. Definitely missed Robertson and Salah.

Huge misses. The team is a lot easier to defend against with none of Robertson's driving runs and crosses to deal with, or Salah's ability to carve something out of tight spaces.  Need them back for Palace and a win on Wednesday.

Any word on what was up with the 2 of them?

Pearce write Salah was only fit for the bench. Heard nothing in the lead up about him being injuries.

[Two Hands FFS]

I'd say he took off Keita to protect him from injury especially with his injury record. 65 minutes yesterday and hopefully will start on Wednesday night. I thought he looked lively.

Robertson didn't feature in the warm-up game vs Blackburn either.

Burnley didn't do us any favours tonight. They left a good chunk of their squad at home for no reason. I don't think they would have got a draw even with all their players available.

City have a much better squad than Liverpool. Liverpool are lucky that their key players stayed healthy for most of the year.

City's superior squad wasn't doing them much good when it was still up for grabs earlier in the season.

City's squad does look good on paper but the reality is the players they bring in haven't had the same actual impact on games as the players Liverpool have called on.

Had City not got a defensive problem at the start of the season that 'upset' the balance of the team? has that problem been fixed? and remember its not a normal resumption of the league as such and with the extra time out since lockdown, maybe Pep has fixed what was wrong or the two teams he has played were just shit!

I'm going with the latter

City's squad depth is deeper than anything I ever remember in the Premier League but their core group of 14/15 players haven't performed anywhere near the level of Liverpool's this season and I reckon that's the ultimate difference. Obviously you need that bit of luck with injuries which Liverpool have had this season....

Klopp and his backroom team work very hard on fitness and injury prevention and they can thank a Norn Iron lad for a good bit of the science behind that, but he's moved on;

Have Liverpool suffered less from injuries than City this season?

Wouldn't be too many teams cope with the mix and match back four City have had to put together all season. In fairness to Guardiola, he hasn't complained.

[angermanagement]

In fairness he can't complain too much when he's spent about £350 million on defenders.

Could spend 3.5billion. If they get injured they all are worth 0.
