After the game, Neville admitted that he thinks Liverpool are ‘less emotional’ this season.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if City dropped points in two games, and Liverpool dropped points in two games,” Neville told Sky Sports. “But I never felt so sure that Liverpool were going to win a game as I was tonight.
“It is an outstanding level of performance from both teams this season. We have got great games to watch.
“Next Sunday is huge. Crystal Palace, next Sunday, is equally as tough for City. If City do go and win that match and the Liverpool players know they have to go and win against Chelsea the legs start to get that little bit heavier.
“If City drop points, then Liverpool will bounce onto that pitch. We are going to witness it first hand all the way to the end of the season.
“Liverpool are in a good moment. They look less emotional than last season the way they have played. There was a level of desperation, a level of frantic-ness in the way they played [last season].
“Against Southampton in the first part of the game they struggled, I thought Southampton played really well, but then they got control of the game, and control is important. Composure is important, Mohamed Salah [who scored Liverpool’s second] was clinical in a crucial moment. He will need to be cold towards the end of the season.
“Liverpool are in a far better position than they were a few years ago when they were going for the title, because at that time, it was a bit more desperate that time, a bit more frantic.”
