Liverpool Cruise Past Man City 2-0: Is the Premier League Title Done?

February 24, 2025·32 min·1 clip

Luke opens the show in good spirits after Liverpool beat City away and go 11 points clear. Oli gets an early reminder that Chelsea are not exactly making his week easier. The discussion settles on Liverpool's 2-0 win at the Etihad and why it felt like a proper statement. They call it a pretty sublime performance. The hosts focus on how compact Liverpool were and how the shape basically turned into two 10s with no true front man. Diaz is used on the left and Salah on the right. That setup is treated as a perfect away performance that simply did the job. They then compare it with earlier away trips to Everton and Villa that felt messy. Both of those matches should have been wins, they say. Everton ended with a last-minute equaliser. Villa featured the Darwin Nunez miss. The talk widens to the title race after Arsenal's home loss to West Ham. Luke says that result only increased his confidence after watching Leicester. He describes Leicester as toothless and their defending as comical. They question whether Cooper should have been sacked and feel the change has not really lifted things enough. West Ham are praised for being better organised and harder to break down than Leicester. Potter gets his first clean sheet as West Ham manager. A separate stretch of the conversation turns to an Odegaard free-kick moment and Sterling standing over the ball. Sterling is written off as finished after years of hearing the old praise around him. The episode closes by turning toward the relegation battle, where the hosts think the bottom clubs look in real trouble but Wolves' win keeps the pressure on.
