I often saw how Pep always struggled against a parking bus strategy like what his club did against Liverpool. This has to be the most important puzzle he needs to solve. Once he can solve it, i believe his club may back to the winning the title when he settle it all.
Losing again, Man City's suffering is getting bigger. It's possible that they won't have a trophy this season. Liverpool's victory made the gap 11 points. This condition makes Liverpool comfortable at the top of the temporary ranking. Seeing this game, Man City as usual dominated possession. But they are bad in 1/3 of the opponent's field.
Others are full-backs and centre-backs can always destroy the ball from the side. Because Man City plays a lot from the wing. Arne slot is also good, he makes good defense. They took advantage of Man City's high defense to do top balls and set pieces. Then the Liverpool actor I admire Moh Salah played well. He became the key to Man City's victory. So Arne Slot has no loss to continue to extend Moh Salah's contract.
