Defensive Dynamics and Contract Concerns

Dave Jones presents Super Sunday from Anfield alongside Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Micah Richards, and Daniel Sturridge, who analyse Liverpool’s impressive win against a fragile Manchester City, whose winless run extends to seven games. The result means the hosts have an 11-point gap over City with a third of the season played. Keane praised the defensive resilience of Liverpool, saying they ‘showed a real desire to keep a clean sheet’. Carragher feels Man City’s struggles will continue and believes they will have a real fight to ensure they finish in a top-four position.

After the match, Pat Davidson spoke to both Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk, with the Liverpool captain saying that they will not get ahead of themselves despite having a nine-point lead at the top of the table. Arne Slot also gave his reaction, describing the win as a near-perfect performance, whilst Pep Guardiola said that he and his players will reset and start from zero as they try to overcome this difficult period.
