One thing that winds me up is when City were 9 or so points clear 2 years ago the media was saying City were ruining the competitiveness of the PL and as a result it was a harming the PL.
Yet at the same point of the season LFC are 13 or so points clear it is all about how great they are and no criticism of them running away with it is damaging to the PL.

Same as last season.... Teams get slagged off for fielding weakened sides yet City play a full strength side v Burton and get called disrespectful for banging in 9

Add in we wont be classed as a great side until we win it twice on the bounce. Forget the last 10 years and the almost constant success, no, we had to win it twice on the bounce or it simply wasn't anything special. Cue we won the lot domestically to which we got sportswashing and cheating allegations.

They haven't won it in 30 years and are already the greatest PL side ever lol.

Yeah..but who said that we can replace those players easily. Bernardo doesn't seem to be that good in the Silva Position. Sané might leave and who knows who is coming hopefully not that Real Sociedad guy. Another thing is that Liverpool is not nearly as deep as us but still somehow wins with players like Origi. Once Klopp leaves( if he ever leaves) they will lose their mojo. Until then everything is possible for them. Maybe they win the league twice in a row too. I can see VVD playing at the top until 34-35. Same with Henderson since he never was a good footballer anyway. U could say the same about us because of KDB. How long is he going to stay at this Level?

With VVD physique I cant see him lasting at the top until 33/34. There arent many built like him where their body doesnt break down, will he be as good with average pace, etc. If they do win the league this year there are some players who might fancy a big last pay day. Apart from TAA, henderson and firmino I cant see any that seem overly attached to the club. Might be wrong obviously, just a view. Could another club turn heads, do their owners want to keep players? If they could get £100m for any of the players would they sell? Would that knock the belief in the other players about how serious the club is. Lets face it, they didnt expect to win the champs league last year or get anywhere near us. They couldn't have imagined our weak defense this year. They probably imagined getting 2/3 seasons big performance from salah, mane, vvd, etc and get ridiculous coutinho money again. Who knows, last season could have bollocksed up their own plans. Or they could just be very good, shrewd business men who hired the perfect scouts and manager for the right moment.
 
The thing they do better than us is drawing the opposition out, they play two center backs and Henderson dropping in alongside, then wingbacks sit wide but not to far forward, they then just pass it between each other enticing the opposition to come and play, once the opposition comes forward they look to lob it fat Sam style to the front 3.
It works for them time after time, we attack in a different way in which we keep congesting the box, recycling and trying again and again, by doing it our way it moves our defence forward as well so we are open to the counter attack.
Dippers are good at what they do but city are still the best team and come the end of the season we will still need a trophy cleaner.

He's an absolute ****. You've seen his media persona laughable German man slip a few times.

Most recent one was when a German translator translated the words of Henderson slightly wrong and Klopp snapped at him and basically said he meant it in this over exaggerated way and if he doesn't translate "correctly" then Klopp will do it.

Detestable **** even before he joined Liverpool. Much the same as Mourinho or Ibrahimovic before joining Utd.
 
It has been proably said already that the side Liverpool fielded against Everton had 7 players aged 22 or more. Hardly a team of kids this. Admittedly, Milner got injured, so another youngster was subbed in. But it wasn't a team of 18-19 y.o. that beat Everton, but a team with several youngsters. Pep fielded a team with several youngsters against Leicester away in December 2017, we won that game on penalties.

Edit: that team started with 5 U21 players, 2 of them U18, and Pep subbed in another 2 U18 players.
