It's easy to understand why. Liverpool are bad in defense, but still have pace and intensity, and these are the 2 qualities that the whole league is based on.
It takes an experienced, technical, and ruthless side to make a fool out of them and their comical defense. Like City did, or Madrid.
EPL is an elite league, no1 for sure, but other than City not a single great team in it this season.
City makes a fool out of them, but basically never, if at all, on Anfield though.
