The stand in with have ear piece in and Klopp will be calling the shots. At least the ref will have an easier game

Tyler really can't hide his dislike of Liverpool.
The difference between his commentary when Liverpool score and Chelsea score is hilarious.

2-2 HT.
Were in control but then Milner gives away a silly foul and Chelsea score more or less from it. Chelse with tails up then get a second.
Need to regain control of this in 2nd half or can see Chelsea scoring a few more.

[Itchy]

Great save from Kelleher and a few mins later we go one up.
Martin Tyler going on and on about how Mane should be sent off(he shouldn't yellow was harsh enough) he wouldn't say a word a few weeks ago though when Kane should have got a red against Liverpool.

A definite yellow and could easily have been red. Helped by it being so early in the game.

A point not really worth a f**k to either team, well apart from keeping them in the Top 4 battle because that's all both teams have left as regards the League this season. City 11 points clear now. Game over.

Didn't think Liverpool ever really looked like they were gonna score in the second half, the subs that came on  didn't make any difference at all.
On a positive note I thought Kelleher played well, certainly couldn't be faulted for either goal.

That's that.

That's that.

Next year is our year

Genuinely think we should now go all in for the 3 remaining Cups, well they would anyways for the Champions League but they should go for the FA Cup and League Cup also.
You would think/hope they would have enough to finish at least 3rd/4th above the likes of West Ham Spurs and Arsenal so why not try and win the remaining Cups?

Of course, but its a money thing. As in there is no money in the Domestic Cups! Their value has so diminished the last 2 decades. Old blokes like us still see them as Silverware but to many they are an annoyance.

Would a team not want to win every game it's in and therefore try and win every competition?

Wanting to and being able to are two different things.

There's about 2-3 million difference in prize money between 2nd and 3rd, and between 3rd and 4th.  The League Cup only gets you about 100k for winning.  Prioritizing cups over the league can leave a lot of money on the table.  That's before you start worrying about whether Arsenal and Spurs have really gotten their shit together.

This is the sad thing about modern football. I would take 4th place and the league cup over 2nd place and nothing any day, but i know that's not the way clubs think.
