Alexander-Arnold: Our success means more to us and our fans because of what we are up against

Trent Alexander-Arnold believes that the way that Liverpool have earned their success in the Jurgen Klopp era means more in a personal sense compared to the financial juggernaut that is Man City.

 

For the second time in three seasons, Liverpool are challenging on all four fronts. and having already one cup under their belt, it only gets more challenging from this point on.

 

And on Sunday sees yet another chapter in the great modern day rivalry that is Liverpool vs Man City.

 

And while nothing will be truly decided by the time the final whistle blows on Sunday, a win to either team will most certainly see them claim the favouritism tag for the title-run in.

 

The Reds have a couple of things in their favour, namely that they are playing at Anfield and the fact that they still hold the pole position, thanks to that precious 99th minute winner by Darwin Nunez against Nottingham Forest.

 

For their part Man City are doing what they seemingly do automatically which is click into gear once the new year comes around.

 

It takes a hell of a lot of mental strength to come up against a team with the immense financial power that Man City have in abundance.

 

Now that’s not to say that it money is the only thing that breeds success as you have to have a clear plan in how to spend it and bring in the right players of quality, but in the current landscape it most certainly helps your cause.

 

Liverpool have a different method in how they have gone about their quest to claim honours, and it is something that clearly resonates with the playing group if the words of Alexander-Arnold are to go by as The Mirror reported (per Four Four Two).

“It's tough. We're up against a machine that's built to win - that's the simplest way to describe City and their organisation.

 

"Looking back on this era, although they've won more titles than us and have probably been more successful, our trophies will mean more to us and our fanbase because of the situations at both clubs, financially.

 

“How both clubs have built their teams and the manner in which we've done it, probably means more to our fans."

 

The right-back who is currently out with a lateral knee ligament injury knows full well about the overall strength of their title rivals, but sees no reason why the Reds cannot go stride for stride with them and come out on top come May.

"From the turn of the year, City switch it on and it's a difficult machine to stop,"

 

"But we've shown in the past that we've been able to do it and there's no reason why we can't go and match them this season. We're excited to be involved with City and know we're in a good position.

 

"I'm sure they'll be motivated, as are we. It's going to be an exciting end."

I’ve always thought when they sang “Cit-eh, Cit-eh, the worlds greatest football team” (or whatever) we should drown it out with “Cit-eh, Cit-eh, nobody fucking cares”.

Just sing our songs, very very loudly.

Honestly seems a but silly to say it this week. Pretty much doing the team talk for them. 


He won’t have said it this week. He’ll have said it 4-6 weeks ago. The issue has only been published this week.

Yeah it was several weeks ago. Interview with 442, which as you say was published this week I think. Also, part of it was shown as a video and the lad who interviewed him said they'd been sitting on it for a while.

Hardly surprising. They are the only set of players to cry over PFA awards. 

Haha I remember that. Cryarsing about how they think they're so much better than the winners.

It means more purely because its so hard to win anything because a nation bought a club and ignored the rules to gain an unfair advantage on every other club that played by them. So yeah overcoming someone you know cheated to compete.. means more.

Walker did an interview with Ferdinand today and said people have been talking about it on the training ground. They are going to try and use it to galvanise them. Inferiority complexed little twats.

 

Media spun this and they have fallen for it.

Walker also said "I've never won at Anfield" not with any team he's ever played for. You could see he's trying to use this to pump him up and how he's going to change that statistic. Otherwise he'd never have mentioned it.

 

We'll win, I'm sure of it. I thought we'd win before anyway. But they are going to come here chests pumped and that's the wrong way. They aren't playing well enough and as soon as we hit them once or twice with a fast counter all that bravado will crumble. This City team concedes way more chances than previous ones. Guardiola football is built on control and shit teams barely get in their half.  

 

But Chelsea and United got at them with a few passes through the middle before a direct ball into the pacey forwards. We have enough bollocks to be brave enough on the ball to do that and more. They are pure system players. Once that system is being broken in to, they won't know how to react to the emotion of our fans, manager and team. We win 3-1.
