Good pod that, an enjoyable listen during an incredibly dull day in the office.
Only real bit I wanted to talk about was this sentiment of - City must be frustrated by us, they've been this good and they're only 2 ahead, Guardiola can't read books etc because then he thinks of us - is very reminiscent of a feeling/argument I remember from 16/17 when Chelsea had gone on a 13 game winning streak and we were saying same things - yeah, they're good, but think how they feel about us still being on their coat tails. I hope that this sort of talk, speculation, call it what you will, is kept to a minimum amongst supporters because of potential frustrations from us dropping points first impacting the bond with the team. Ie - oh for fuck sake, we were supposed to be in City's heads, not fall further behind - fuck it, let's slag *insert name* off cos his passing isn't great today.
I definitely don't want to hear it from the club - I'm sure Klopp referenced it in 16/17 and it was closely followed by that brutal 2-2 draw away at Sunderland over the christmas period, an injury or two and then losing Mane for a month. Essentially it became a public thought/awareness through Klopp's press conference and our season fell off the rails shortly afterwards. I think our mentality and squad depth will prevent that this season, but do think putting this sort of argument out there too much can be counterproductive. Even if it's a way that I can't properly articulate.
