"The game we played over there, we were outplayed completely in the first half for large parts. It's not a moment for us to see where we are in the development of this team. We've shown that, except that first half [against Man City] and the first half against [Crystal] Palace, that we can compete with any team that we've faced."
"They're a very good team that even beat the team we beat last weekend without their starters so that tells you, combined with the game against them, what a force City still is and always will be."
Liverpool host Manchester City on Sunday seeking a different performance after being comprehensively outplayed in a 3-0 defeat at the Etihad in November. Liverpool stabilised afterward, going 13 games unbeaten before a loss at Bournemouth, but the Premier League title defence is no longer attainable. The immediate priority is securing a top-four finish and Champions League qualification, which requires improved performance levels and greater consistency. Liverpool have demonstrated the ability to compete with top opponents despite heavy earlier losses. Manchester City remain a dominant force, advancing to the EFL Cup final and holding second place in the league.
