Truth is they are nowhere near our level. To prevent City getting all the attention, they invented this narrative of this whole Pep v/s Klopp rivalry. Their football is tiresome, they grind results most of the time like gk errors, Salah Mane having free run in the box coz they would dive otherwise, getting away with small fouls. Their defenders have free hand to do anything, lowest penalties and red cards given against them in last 5 yrs. (ZERO RED CARDS OR PENALTIES CONCEDED LAST SEASON !!)
If you see it objectively, Klopp is not even top 20 managers in the history of the game. But we are told he's this great Pep nemesis who does it the proper way on a shoestring budget. The only area he made them better was in the box, cleverly trained Salah/Mane to get weak in the box and go down easily. (There is a video of Klopp justifying Neymar's antics in the WC)
So their forwards create this confusion in our defenders mind that they would go down anytime, most goals these guys score is down to defenders not putting a tackle.
Their UCL win vs Spurs was a farce, undeserved penalty in first 5 mins. If it was any other G-14 team that would not have been given. Can we ever forget the amount of decisions they got in 18/19 season, the year before VAR was introduced. They had no right to fight for title till last day, but PL and FA did it. The next season they had to win it being the European champions, the tainted VAR COVID title happened. Now, both domestic cups were won from penalties.
Since we were so good we were able to stop this farce twice, we are a team where we could randomly get 5 good mins and you'll have someone step up, we have so much quality. If not Gundo, someone else would have stepped up that day. Good thing is I think they're falling off with Mane leaving.
