And now you will believe them.
A 2-0 win over Manchester City Liverpool has opened a 11 -point lead at the top of the Premier League table. Their triumph at the Etihad Stadium means they have completed a double championship over the champions and Arne Slot seems ready to steal the Pep Guardiola crown in the first year.
A wrong city was largely hampered by the absence of Erling Haaland, enjoying plenty of ground and much of the ball. Sky Blue storms were overcome by APLOMB by effective reds, who managed the second half competition after taking a 2-0 lead before half.
Here were the best and worst players of the two teams from Sunday’s important duel.
January signature Omar Marmis announced himself at Premier League With a hat-trick against Newcastle last weekend, city supporters must be undoubtedly encouraged by the talent they have.
The victory over Eddie Howe Magpies showed how effective Marmoush will be while working alongside Hayland. He had to take more responsibility against the Reds with Guardiola to choose again to use him as part of a false nine couple with Phil Foden. There was plenty of drifting, with sparks that appeared when it fell between the lines and its finish (offside position) depicted how effective it could be in front of the target.
Liverpool’s offensive centers endured, they gave this huge challenge, but the threat of Egypt was obvious at the start time. He is capable of producing something from nothing.
Coordinated effort has been made to maintain Kevin de Bruyne For the “big” cases during Belgian’s possible song in Manchester. The middle section, however, was an unused substitute in Madrid on Wednesday and had just had an hour in his closet here.
Of course, the 33 -year -old de Bruyne is no longer a power. While the Belgian can still knit his magic stick and create both legs with classy feet, the current power of his top has dissolved. The surgery underwent in 2023 has received his tax.
The repetition of de Bruyne manifestly manifested against Liverpool It was far from the city’s powerhouse that pioneered multiple title triumphs. He must have looked at Dominik Szoboszlai with envy.
Liverpool were brilliant as a collective, with the foundations for their back victory. Alisson excluded calm after a nervous premature fist and the central-re-furnace mating defended the box with vintage vigor.
However, it was the inevitable power of the Reds that proved to be the difference again.
The city Limited Liverpool in moments, but that’s all Mohammed is wrong Is required to lead visitors to an imposing triumph. The Egyptian has the coach of Bournemouth to thank (and the pleasant move of Dominik Szoboszlai) for expanding his impressive impressive match that expanded into eight games.
Salah then returned the favor before the break, with Szoboszlai to score Liverpool’s second who put the game beyond the hosts. He has now scored 50 contributions to all the competitions this term (41 in the Premier League) and continues to start one of the big individual seasons.
This would definitely be a different game that Erling Haaland had to violate Liverpool’s box, as the wings of the city’s success were enjoying their full full backs.
Savinho and Jeremy Doku were unable to deliver accurately from the transit situations, but much of their approach – to use a golf reference – it was brilliant. Were relentlessly able to create a separation yard and Doku was particularly effective Trent Alexander-Arnold. The full rear of England was constantly trying to throw Occupation from Belgium when they lined up one by one, but Doku’s legs were very fast.
Alexander-Arnold was a Dribe beyond an imposing eight times in the first half, and the reception eventually made changes that provided more support as Wataru Endo entered Fray and joined Liverpool’s backline. Andrew Robertson was also replaced to the left by Kostas Tsimikas.
This was certainly not Manchester United at the levels of evil by Alexander-Ardarold, who offered some value to his possession, but Doku made it a harsh excursion to him.
