Only good old mighty Liverpool can fuck up an almost perfect season in a week like this. We haven't lost at Anfield in, what, 14 months or so? And then we lose twice in a row without scoring a goal.
2.60 xG against Atalanta, 2.87 xG against Palace today. 0 goals in total.
3.67 xG against United a week before, 0.7 against - enough only for a 2-2 draw.
Hurts to say, but in key moments of the season we simply aren't on the needed level. We're still alive in the league, but City's got easy games coming. I have a feeling they will put it in the highest gear now and cruise to the title.
If Arsenal win today, Liverpool's chances of winning the title will drop below 10%. A real disaster, considering that before the game with United, Liverpool were the favorites ahead of both Arsenal and City.
As for expected goals, Crystal Palace's 2.13 today, although it should feel no less than Liverpool's. Therefore, I cannot say that Liverpool was simply unlucky today.
