Liverpool 0-4 Man City: Burning question divides Liverpool fans
A burning question divides Liverpool fans.
Liverpool were smashed 4-0 by Manchester City after being crowned Premier League champions last week.
Joe Gomez brought down Raheem Sterling for a clear penalty, which Kevin de Bruyne scored, Sterling then added a second, Phil Foden grabbed the third and then Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain turned in an own goal.
But should Liverpool fans care?
This is the burning question that’s dividing fans. Should they care that City turned the Reds over so easily, that they managed to cut through the midfield and defence like they weren’t there and should they care that Sterling embarrassed everyone else?
James Pearce from the Athletic, and previously at the Echo, thinks they shouldn’t. A lot of fans agree with him.
They believe winning the Premier League is the only thing that matters, and even if Liverpool manage to lose the rest of the games this season it won’t matter.

Except is has to matter. The whole point of this team under Jurgen Klopp is that it matters. This was a big game, whatever people think. Fans might not be bothered about the loss now, but you can be sure if Liverpool had won 4-0 they’d be lauding it over Pep Guardiola until next season.
It matters because every game has to be approached in the same way or this whole unit loses it’s cohesion.
It matters because this was the chance to make a statement.
This was the chance to prove to everyone that we are the best Premier League team ever.
This matters because it now gives the petty, jealous, insecure asterisks crew a chance to get a fresh breath and say this glorious achievement, carried up by the band of brothers, this group of 22 who never give up and have run through mountains together doesn’t matter.
The achievement does matter. Winning the Premier League was achieved on the bank of every game mattering.
