Manchester United legend Roy Keane has argued that Liverpool have no chance of winning the Premier League title after their 3-0 loss against Man City.<\/p>\n
On Sunday afternoon, Liverpool<\/strong> <\/a>crashed down to earth with an almighty bump after picking up wins against Aston Villa and Real Madrid in recent days.<\/p>\n The Reds had a chance to move within five points of table-toppers Arsenal when they faced Man City<\/strong><\/a>, but they were utterly dominated at the Etihad as Pep Guardiola\u2019s side ran out deserving winners.<\/p>\n Erling Haaland had a penalty saved before breaking the deadlock with a header, while Nico Gonzalez\u2019s deflected shot doubled Man City\u2019s lead before the break.<\/p>\n Liverpool were not quite as bad in the second half, though they were hit on the counter-attack by Jeremy Doku, who rounded off a brilliant performance with a superb finish from outside of the penalty area.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Guardiola, Man City gets the better of Slot, Liverpool in Doku\u2019s coming-out party as Konate stinks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This result leaves Liverpool eighth in the Premier League<\/strong> <\/a>and eight points adrift of Arsenal in the table ahead of the international break.<\/p>\n After the final whistle, Keane bluntly ruled Liverpool out of the title race.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t be considering Liverpool for the title,\u201d Keane said on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was a sore defeat. But this reminded me of City of old. They were outstanding. They are back in the mix.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking on commentary, Gary Neville said on Arne Slot<\/strong><\/a>:\u00a0\u201cIt looks like Slot doesn\u2019t know his strongest side.\u201d<\/p>\n Neville also suggested that this result and performance from Man City could \u201csend a message\u201d to Arsenal, who drew 2-2 with Sunderland on Saturday night.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was about which of these two clubs were going to emerge as Arsenal\u2019s nearest challengers and could they send a message to the Gunners,\u201d Neville said on commentary.<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 \u201cPep Guardiola, in his 1000th game as a manager, his team and his staff, have done that.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a really good day for Guardiola and Man City, but it\u2019s a difficult day for Arne Slot and Liverpool.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel Sturridge and Micah Richards were also full of praise for Man City, with Doku\u2019s performance \u201cscintillating\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cTactically, they outdid Liverpool today. The way they pressed was magnificent, they caused a big problem for Liverpool\u2019s build-up,\u201d Sturridge said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe performances of the Liverpool players? They were miles off what they\u2019re used to be. If they\u2019re honest with themselves, they\u2019re going to know they haven\u2019t played at their level.<\/p>\n \u201cMan City were magnificent.\u201d<\/p>\n On Doku, Micah Richards said:\u00a0\u201cComing into the game today I wasn\u2019t sure how it was going to go, but Doku was scintillating.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s taken his game to the next level, in terms of his goal \u2013 the way he took it, how many times have we seen him run down blind alleys or pick the wrong pass?<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got that conviction now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United legend Roy Keane has argued that Liverpool have no chance of winning the Premier League title…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2221,9,10,18,13,14,8141,6,794,19,17,11,12,1009,15,16,2353,5,795,5788,7,8,5279],"class_list":{"0":"post-172011","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-arne-slot","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-breakingnews","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-featured-news","13":"tag-featurednews","14":"tag-gary-neville","15":"tag-headlines","16":"tag-home-page","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-latest-news","20":"tag-latestnews","21":"tag-liverpool","22":"tag-main-news","23":"tag-mainnews","24":"tag-manchester-city","25":"tag-news","26":"tag-premier-league","27":"tag-roy-keane","28":"tag-top-stories","29":"tag-topstories","30":"tag-uncategorized"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
