The form they've shown over the past 18 months has been relentless and they've ultimately out-lasted City which nobody would have thought 2 years ago.
As much as Klopp is an annoying , gurning cartoon character he is the best manager in the world currently.

Agree with this, there is no point hoping for a collapse as:
a) it won't happen, they are an excellent team who are unbeaten at home in 3 years, got 97 points last year, 2 CL finals in a row and have dropped points in one game all season into December
b) to have city get to 3 in a row when Guardiola looks like he will flake off at any point and delay the inevitable by a season just drags it out more
A good season for us now is not getting beat by one of those two teams in the semis/final of the league cup and city not winning the champions league. We'll take our medicine now but we won't go 30 years without winning the league.
