This one is huge for them today.
I think the way what we saw from Leicester today actually helps City.
That style of play, Leicester will not be afraid to take the game to them and frustrate them.
Do you think Leicester are going to try and out-football City?
No, you know you can't, but in terms of their young players that are full of confidence, I think the spaces will be better than what Burnley showed today for City.
Seven years, yes, and they've got the title back.
No, not today.
You know, they knew what type of game they were going to get.
They were going to get an Everton team who have not been going well, who were going to be in their face, going to be aggressive to them.
So they would have known that long before they turned up at the stadium today.
You have to meet that challenge head on, which they did, and then rise above it and play your own game.
They certainly matched them well.
certainly competed with Everton, but they never went to the next level, which is get the ball down and hurt them.
I felt today the huffed and puffed for the vast majority of that game.
You have to get more from your midfield in terms of creativity.
We point the finger all the time when they don't win games at the front three, saying they're misfiring.
But I would look a wee bit further than that.
I think they've got a fabulous midfield in terms of if you're...
playing in Liverpool's back four right now, that is the midfield you want.
If you're playing up front for Liverpool right now, that is not maybe the midfield you want.
