The thing about xG is that it is a reasonably objective way of estimating how good the chances are.
I'm not taking anything away from how well City have played, think they've been exceptional and deserve to win but equally don't think Liverpool have handled them too badly overall

haven't figured out how exactly.
And playing inconsistently is just what we'd expect from a team in tactical transition!

They've set up very defensively, I think that's on Slot.
I'm not saying it's Trent alone, but I'm saying that you need to fundamentally shift your tactics if you lose a player with that unique skillset. Ball progression has been an issue all season. Wirtz clearly part of the answer but they

I don't think Liverpool have been that bad, certainly played much worse this season and City have been excellent.
And not that mysterious why Liverpool are worse - it's quite a different team this season, just because of the absence of Trent, before you get to everything else that's changed.

I've always found it hard to get my head around too.
The absurdity brought home to be by the fact people have said "You used to do X" to me using "you" to refer to both Scottish people and Indians. Quite different sides of the colonial coin!
