City vs Liverpool turned into a proper “game of two halves” — a sleepy first half, then pure chaos after the break: Salah wakes up, transitions start flying, and the ref decisions (chalked-off goal + red card + penalty talk) leave everyone arguing about “common sense vs the law.” From there, you lot zoom out into the bigger picture: Arsenal grinding through rough patches without being caught, United’s Carrick bounce (and why “play your position” is quietly fixing everything), and Chelsea’s tactical tweak away from inverted fullbacks — with Palmer catching heat, then shutting everyone up. The real spice is the title psychology: are Arsenal finally built for it, or does that Carabao Cup final vs City decide the season?
