In the last match played between Liverpool and Manchester City we saw how much Manchester City fought against Liverpool and Liverpool against Manchester City and in the end the result of the match was a draw. Manchester City and Liverpool are two strong teams in the English Premier League and when these strong teams enter the field as opponents, it goes without saying that the match will be tough competition. The performance of the match between Manchester City and Liverpool seems to show that Arsenal's performance needs to be improved. Arsenal are performing well but in the end they need to improve their performance to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool in the end.
Manchester City and Liverpool can be said to dominate and many say the two clubs are equally strong. But in my opinion, if I compare Manchester City and Liverpool from all aspects, I personally say Liverpool is superior. Why? The reason is, after I watched the match between Manchester City and Liverpool in the last few weeks, the final result of the match ended in a draw (1-1). At first glance, Manchester City and Liverpool appear to have equal strength, but in reality this is not the case. Because the important point that I can take from this match is in terms of the squad that Manchester City and Liverpool fielded. In midfield, Manchester City fielded their mainstay players from the early minutes. Like Halland and also De Bruyne. However, Liverpool had problems in this match because many of their players were injured. So it could be said that in the match against Man City, the squad that Liverpool fielded was not yet at its maximum strength. Because Liverpool's mainstay striker is also M, Salah was introduced into the field midway through the second half of the match. The reason is, in that match, M. Salah's condition had not fully recovered.
However, what surprised me was that in that match Liverpool managed to dominate the match well, even though they had a less than optimal squad. Meanwhile, in this match, Manchester City played with a very optimal squad. So from here I can judge that Liverpool is indeed better than Manchester City. Because, even though Liverpool's squad is not good, Manchester City still can't beat them. Especially if, for example, Liverpool plays with a complete and optimal squad. I'm sure Liverpool will definitely beat Manchester City convincingly. And regarding Arsenal, in my opinion so far their performance can be said to be very stable. So to be able to continue to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool, Arsenal must continue to maintain good consistency.
To me I really don't think that is the case here, as Liverpool is now, they are a top side, wether injuries or not, any players being that is on the field of play will want to give it all especially an opponent like Manchester city, a direct rival for the title, so it doesn't matter if most of the first eleven players were injuired, or not, what will be very common among the lads is the motivation, because they don't need to be motivated against an opponent like Manchester city, the players would want to give their all regardless of who is on the field of play.
Another thing I have observed about this Manchester city side is that they are not as good as they where last season, because if you look at their records and statistics this season, it's only Manchester united they have won, among the top teams, unlike last season that they they beat almost all the top teams, so I think they have declined a little bit compared to last season, but as now and this season, Liverpool team is actually more equipped than they were last season, and I think they can go all the way.
If we talk about all the players that Liverpool has, I completely agree with your assumption. The reason is that all Liverpool players definitely want their team to win and of course will fight as hard as they can to make it happen.
However, you need to note that what I am discussing here is about the performance of the Liverpool team. So if you assume that the first team and second team (reserves) at Liverpool have the same performance, in my opinion that assumption is a little wrong. Because of course there is a striking difference between the main players and the reserve players. The reason the Liverpool coach divided his players into two camps (main and reserve) was because of course these players had different qualities. Therefore, I say that Liverpool in the last few matches have performed less than optimally, because many of their main players have been injured. So basically the context I am discussing is not only focused on the fighting spirit of the Liverpool players. But the point is about the performance of Liverpool players.
And regarding Manchester City's situation this season, if you say there has been a decline, I also really agree. Because this season, it could be said that Manchester City is having a little difficulty reaching the top of the standings in the English league. But apart from that, another factor that is making things difficult for Manchester City this season could be that many other teams in the Premier League have experienced an increase in performance. So with this, it is difficult for Manchester City to occupy the top position.
