I was surprised JK went so strong in this one. On paper at least it looked straightforward and one where a few could be rested but there is value in turning the screw on City just as they started to show signs of cracking. Screw well and truly turned now.
We are playing without any outward signs of pressure. I keep reading that we're not in top gear etc but we are winning matches without having to work hard because we are just so much better than the teams we are playing. I am not sure how we could have improved much on the second half performance. A few party tricks coming out and a real shame Mane's drive at the end was just a bit too high. What a goal that would have been. Poor Newcastle completely battered. I felt for Rafa at the end there but he knew what he was walking into.
Some debate now about how good this team is in comparison with teams gone by. Fortunately (unfortunately?) I am old enough to have seen better Liverpool teams but certainly not since we last won the title.
