Remember last season when we lost Kompany, laporte missed most of the season and stones and otamendi were frequently unavailable and we played with a 35 year old midfielder in defence? Or did I imagine that?

He's right in the sense that we didn't win the league then but I'm sick to death of them acting like this is the first time in history any club has had some injuries ffs. We've had numerous major key injuries in every season Pep has been here.

He seems to have completely gotten away with the fact he chose to play Henderson and Fabinho at centre back which was a disaster despite having other options. it took him about 4 months to see what a shit decision it was. Phillips wasn't some 17 year old kid, he's older than Dias for christs sake.

They were also top at Christmas, a week before the transfer window opened. It was their decision to wait until the end of it to do anything and their decision to bring in the 2 dross players that they eventually did before not using them.

Simple fact of the matter is, Klopp failed, and his players failed. They put in one of the meekest title defences in the premier league era and whenever their title win in brought up many years in the future 2 things will be synonymous with it, covid and their piss poor title defence.

Enjoy your top 4 victory parade, just try not to wreck the bus.

It’s that bigger squad conundrum.

he had the same size squad as us but because he refused to use all the players in it, he looked like they were ravaged. As has been said 70k per week Phillips was there but he was refusing to play him & had “Hendo” playing there wh h exacerbated the problem.

Genius......

We didn't win the league, but we didn't collapse into barely finishing fourth. When we had our entire defence out, we conceded two goals more than them (while scoring 17 more goals). When they've had their entire defence out, they've conceded 10 goals more than us (and six of ours have been after we already won the league). In fact, the fact that we finished 18 points behind them in 19/20 despite our goal difference being 15 better just shows how many scabby single goal victories they got (were handed). I genuinely think they were actually better in the season before.

Jurgen Klopp: City couldn't have won Premier League with Liverpool's injuries

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Manchester City would not have won the Premier League this season if they had to deal with his side's injury crisis.

Bitter bucked tooth fool... we could say the same about last season...

Was just reading that on the BBC app. Bizzare, isn't it? So, if Liverpool had not had so many defenders (2?) injured, then...

Liverpool would have scored more goals?

Liverpool would have taken more points off city, but less off united?

Liverpool's opponents would have played worse, with less desire to prove themselves against the current champions?

Liverpool would have not broken the record for most home defeats in a row?

Mane and Bobby Teeth Jr would have hit form?

Liverpool would somehow have gone on a run to match city, winning nearly every game on the bounce, including against city.

And we're not including the Jota injury by the way. Yes he's a good player but they won the league last year without him. Why does it always have to been about them? "City wouldn't have won the title if it wasn't for us...". 17 points Juergen, 17! And that's with some pretty jammy results recently.

No, simple truth is city deserved it. Suck it up Klopp, and have a bit of humility. Your deficiencies as a manager poked through this season, and next one is a biggie to prove to the world you and you're team are not one title wonders. Personally, I think you're all overrated and evidently quicker to point the finger or take any credit than you are to congratulate or take responsibility.

Oh, and let's hope palace give uncle roy a send off to remember. Then you can tell everyone next year how city wouldn't have won the title if Salah hadn't jumped ship, Virgil hadn't been resurrected on a Sunday with tomato ketchup instead of fresh blood, and Manchester had never built that bloody ship canal all them years ago.
