I don't see Liverpool or City maintaining the same kind of form they did as last season. It was formidable, and in City's case, overhauling that 10 points was superhuman almost. However, I don't see the "dip" of City being potentially as severe and even a City in second gear will still walk away with the league 9 times out of 10, so it was lucky that they weren't in second gear last year. Liverpool have got that front 3 all back after a summer's international tournaments, and they could be fatigued during the season and who will replace them if that coincides with a big pressure game? No one is the answer at the minute.
Let Klopp rant and complain. The end is nigh for him.
