If the same result happened to City, they'd be laying into how much money we've spent, how our players are mercenaries who don't put in effort, and how Pep has been found out. A pair of smug cunts
Doesn't sell subscriptions mate. They both were smirking out of fear that the bubble has burst do early on, relying on that old Scouse magic that's called optomism; it's their day, it'll be their month, their year. You can't be smug when you look at the last few games and then look at the next to come. That was a very difficult game for them, Napoli ran rings 'round them in the second half which they had to put massive effort into to counter.
I've watched a few Dippers games of late, as we know that they are our main challengers, after all, the media keep telling us with the various adverts (note it's the Salah goal against is that's the main Sky advert). And what I've noticed is that they aren't going all out at the start, they are changing it up at various periods, saving their efforts for when Klopp feels it is better exerted. Tonight was a little different, when they tried to step it up they couldn't do it in unison which allowed Napoli to exert their own game on Liverpool.
Maybe all those early games and now hitting difficult teams has now taken its toll. Yes, I'm sure they'll have that extra burst this weekend as it's their cup final, their trophy for the year, but if I was a Dipper fan I wouldn't be looking smug, I'd be fucking worried because looking at tonight's game, their looks to be a chink in their armour.
