Liverpool: That was cold
First things first. Mo Salah doing keepie uppies 2 feet away from a pair of City players arguing with the ref about that pen was one of the most gloriously callous things I’ve ever seen on a football pitch
That level of contempt for the opposition being displayed with such outright nonchalance at a moment as critical as that bordered on the psychotic. It toyed with them. And it was beautiful.

It’s on
I’m not usually one to get overconfident or make bold predictions. But this feels different. We just outplayed the European and 4 time Premier League champions in back to back games. Salah is flying. The midfield is purring. The defence is rock solid. We’re 9 points clear and rising to every challenge. So even though it’s only November, I’m going to be bold and say it: We are definitely in the title race.

The Quad is one! Whisper it ever so quietly. But did Arsenal destroy Citeh’s season by physically destroying Rodri? Of course, there were other injuries and other variables that contributed to Citeh’s downfall but Rodri’s season ending injury must top the list. The reaction from Citeh players after that draw against Arsenal says it all. Arsenal pushed them to the limits and they actually snapped. I’m so happy with how the season is turning out while Citeh being crap, Arsenal continuing to flatter to deceive, Spurs being Spurs, Chelsea in transition and Slot slotting in perfectly to keep this Liverpool machine going. This might really be our year!
We are having what is turning out to be a perfect season and a quadruple is not out of reach. If the Premier League trophy doesn’t come home to Anfield this year it will be a massive underachievement, such are the current expectations. I would also be expecting a Champions League final after that Real Madrid dressing down, always nice to teach those arrogant pricks (Mbappe the king of pricks) a footballing lesson.

a pandemic must be coming…
We’re happy, jubilant, enjoying things. But a quick look at last year’s fixtures and Liverpool are a massive……… 2 points better off. There’s ample scope for this to go awry, and LFC do always struggle in January.

How significant are the Liverpool fans’ taunts about Guardiola getting sacked for his future at Manchester City?
## Is This the End for Pep?
**Host:** Welcome back to the show. The dust is settling after Liverpool’s resounding victory over Manchester City this past weekend, but the debate continues to rage – are Liverpool now in control of the title race? And more importantly, after the defeat and the taunting from Liverpool fans, is this the beginning of the end for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City?
Joining us to discuss this is **Peter Jackson**, our football analyst and a veteran voice on all things Premier League. Peter, welcome to the show!
**Peter:** Thanks for having me. It was certainly a remarkable performance from Liverpool.
**Host:** Absolutely.
But the real question on everyone’s minds is about Pep. He seemed visibly shaken after the match, especially by the disrespect from the Liverpool fans chanting about him getting sacked. Is this a sign that his time at City might be coming to an end?
**Peter:** It’s certainly a notable moment. Pep is used to winning, and nobody likes being mocked, especially not in that manner. But I wouldn’t necessarily jump to conclusions just yet [[1](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/12/01/pep-guardiola-liverpool-fans-taunts-getting-sacked-man-city/)].
Guardiola’s legacy at City is already secure; he’s brought them unprecedented success. One bad loss, even with the added sting of taunts, doesn’t erase that. However, the manner of this defeat raises some questions. Liverpool played with an intensity and hunger that City seemed to lack, and that’s something Pep will need to address.
**Host:** So, what do you make of the fan’s reaction? Was it over the top?
**Peter:** It certainly was a harsh reaction, but football can be an emotional game. Liverpool fans are understandably jubilant after such a big win, and sometimes those emotions boil over.
It’s important to remember that these are just passionate fans expressing their feelings, not necessarily reflecting on Pep’s overall abilities as a manager.
**Host:** Interesting points. Peter, thanks so much for your insight. It’s definitely going to be fascinating to see how Guardiola responds to this challenge.
**Peter:** My pleasure.
