There's a joke going around that due to City's new sponsorship deal with Tinder they have got f*cked twice in 4 days. It's funny to be sure, but is it accurate?
Well come Wednesday when our red gladiators line up again versus the boys in sky blue, we'll be delighted to see Jurgen demonstrate how to finish the job not only with a holding game as others may try - and fail, but with the usual lightning fast attacking flair that has become Liverpool's trademark this season.

As for the other side of the city, where their 'auld enemy' are still pulsing with years of rage at this upstart neighbour I am sure there is not a little delight at the way Mournho's team came back almost magically from another raping by the monster from the middle east.
United pulled off a super escape, thanks to the skill of an underused Pogba and the manager suddenly finding the minerals to fight the City behemoth on its own terms instead of parking buses and playing like a coward as they have done in all recent encounters.
It's not Mournho's tactical acumen we should thank of course, but in fact the real reason is that City are still reeling from the utter humiliation they got handed at Anfield on Wednesday, a humiliation that is echoing and reverberating still like the ringing of the cathedral bells at Ferguson's funeral.
No, Man U have Liverpool to thank for so viciously wounding the creature from the swamp and leaving them woefully lacking confidence. What Jurgen’s men did on Wednesday may not only stagger City's run in, but it's not impossible for it to be the catalyst for a major choking as so many pundits have long expected, and the smarter ones still await.
Not since Arsenal's invincible season has any team with a runaway lead kept their momentum all the way to the end, and as we can see, even the Frankenstein monster made of oil-minted gold bars and magic fairy dust can be immune.

Guardiola has been rumbled finally, and other teams will not be slow to follow Liverpool's lead, as Man U were not stupid enough to ignore.
It's too soon to predicat an upset, but looking at recent years nothing is beyond the realms of possibility, and if you fancy a flutter maybe putting a couple of quid on a team that isn't City might be well-timed. You heard it here first.
