Revealing of Guardiola’s philosophical intransigence and the fact that it’s purely a recent competitive rivalry rather than anything truly primal that there was never even a hint of Liverpool getting bogged down in the quality-sapping emotional “occasion” scrappiness of the United and Everton games

What a weird game. Has been *the* battle of the past 10 years but wasn’t a battle today. Instead Liverpool eased to victory through tactical discipline, composure on and off the ball and ruthlessness when required. A brilliant, statement performance and quite simply that of champions.
