Yeah, good I stayed away from betting. Liverpool winning at such low odds only cause me to add them to accas, and Newcastle or Villa would almost certainly have been on my legs had I done any.
Liverpool already finished 23 matches in Premier League, and they are counting down last 15 matches in the league, to lift the trophy. With Liverpool now, they no longer need to have big and impressive win, they only need to maximize points they can earn, even just through minimal wins. Minimal wins of course won't bring happiness to their fans and it's not good for gamblers who want to bet on Liverpool and with big wins, but in a long league battle, such minimal wins will be enough for Liverpool to win a battle and take the trophy.
They lost the moment to maintain the score in the second half, instead Fulham got a very good chance and they did not miss the opportunity to win. Regarding their meeting with Arsenal in the EFL semifinals, they have a very good chance, because they have a 2-goal aggregate advantage and they will also play as the host. They only need to get a draw to be able to advance to the next round or at least they must not lose by a difference of 2 goals. I hope they do not go down with a defensive strategy, because if they do, it is the same as giving Arsenal the opportunity to attack freely and that increases Arsenal's chances of being able to turn things around.
This big defeat won't harm Manchester City chance to defend Premier League title because they already lost it before this match. This big defeat is harmful for their confidence and readiness for other big matches like firstly two playoff matches with Real Madrid in Champions League. In Premier League, Manchester City only need to complete in top four, or best at second or third position, but in Champions League, they will have a massively difficulty when facing with Real Madrid, that seems to have better form than Manchester City now.
