Don’t think anyone in their right mind would compare either team to the great sides you mentioned mate. Those teams were some of the greatest sides in the history of club football but just in terms of an isolated match, it was a joy to watch, not necessarily for the quality of football which wasn’t the best but just the way both teams competed and gave absolutely everything. City’s pressing of the Liverpool back 4 and midfield was tiring just to watch, especially for the first hour or so. Also helped watching it with my bro, who’s a City fan and the range of emotions he displayed was thoroughly amusing to watch.
It’s a tricky one with regards to teams coming and having a go at the big boys. It can work, if you’re disciplined and have enough quality on the pitch, then you can produce a performance and get a point or all three like Wolves but they’re a better side than Bournemouth, Cardiff and Burnley, with far more of a threat, especially compared with the latter two sides. You just have to look at what happened to Everton when they tried to match up with us, they got spanked.
With regards to Liverpool and City, yeah they are vulnerable but to be honest, right now most, if not all teams in Europe are vulnerable, if put under pressure and to put teams under pressure, you need quality and huge amounts of energy and stamina and that’s what stood out for me in the City/Pool game, both teams worked extremely hard. City have more quality thru their squad than Liverpool but Liverpool have real workhorses thru the middle of the park and the addition of VVD and Allison makes them more solid at the back and we know the quality of their front 3 but they pick up a few injuries, then could be very interesting. For me though, we have the best managed to team in the pl, we are so hamstrung financially compared to those two clubs, that to be only 2 points of City at this stage and to still be going in all 4 comps, is a staggering achievement, given all the crap that keeps getting thrown at Poch. All that being said, my head reckons City will get over the line come the end of the season but we’ll still be fighting so who knows!!
