On the technical level, Liverpool against Tottenham was a bad game of football between two teams both performing far beneath their best level. On the emotional level, it was a white-knuckle thrill ride with an incredible ending that left Liverpool drunk on “this is our year” euphoria. City’s players could analyse this latest Liverpool victory and conclude that although it ended well, it wasn’t actually done very well at all. On yesterday’s evidence, City are the best team in the league. They say that the best team always wins the title, but isn’t that the biggest scoreboard journalism cliché of them all?
