Anyone will definitely be surprised by the results received by Liverpool when they visit Everton's headquarters. they are very far superior in terms of quality, but this is the English Premier League where there is no guarantee that the team that has the advantage can really make them win, and this was finally felt by Jurgen Klopp's men where they had to recognize Everton's superiority by 2 goal without reply.

Indeed, Liverpool controlled the match, but we can see how Everton were able to put up good resistance, and they were even able to create many opportunities, 2 of which they managed to convert into goals. Possession of the ball alone was not enough for Liverpool to make them win because they needed a goal to win the match and they couldn't do that. Everton could anticipate every attack made by Liverpool, they were quite solid in protecting their defensive area throughout the match and they were really successful.

I mean they did manage to lose a week before that as well, which surely put them away from getting the title, and then they lost again which put them away from the second place fight, now they are hoping to finish third basically. When you are not that great, you end up with hoping for less and less, even their fans do not look at see a possible championship. They need Manchester City to end up losing multiple games, and that is not going to be all that possible, plus they need Arsenal to lose many games as well.

I think those type of things will not be easily possible at the same time. Just expecting Man City to lose multiple games is not that easy, I feel like things are going to be quite different, we should probably consider that as the important reason why Liverpool probably already failed.
