At the start of this season we had loads of injuries and covid, a good manager finds a way, excuses excuse , he ditches cups so only has the prem to come up with a solution,he is a limited manager with no courage

Bingo in full dipper mode. What a bitter,graceless cretin he truly has become.
The other reason for this outburst is because it’s hurting - big time.
Don’t believe the hype Bingo - you’ve read way too many press articles on your supposed brilliance you Stonehenge gob.

The German version, at Dulmen, north of Dortmund.

Ahh, but what most of you are forgetting is that we in the real world deal with facts: they deal with opinions. To them it is a fact that Henderson is the single greatest living exponent of 21st century football. He is the absolute ideal player from top to bottom. Skillful, athletic, forward thinking to the point where he is always three steps ahead of everyone else, in fact he is the living embodiment of a sporting artisan, someone that the whole world should look up to as the ultimate in role models.
To everyone else he is just a run-of-the-mill midfielder with very limited capabilities, someone who would rather play a sideways or backwards pass because he'd rather err on the side of caution instead of creating a move that might actually benefit the team.

In the real world we see genuine footballing talent and we acknowledge it: albeit begrudgingly. We can accept that teams beside ourselves also have players that are capable of changing the game with a flick of the ball, or who can make a pass so defence-splitting that you have no option than to stand and applaud. Because we live in the real world. Despite our obvious bias, we love the game and are quite prepared to admit there are some absolute gems at other clubs right now - always have been, always will be.
But not in dipperland. No. There is not one, not a single one player anywhere in the world who is as good as what they've already got. No keeper, defender, midfielder, striker currently plying their trade in the global sport of football could improve the dippers - because you cannot improve on perfection.

So while we at City have to make do with sub-standard plodders like Kev, Sergio, Foden etc, the truth is we would all rather be at Shrinefield salivating over the galaxy of superstars Bingo has at his disposal.

Ne'er mind, back to reality.

Summed up perfect
 
Klopp claims Manchester City would not have won the title had we had their injuries.

He forgets that in 2018/19 we won the domestic treble when Kompany and de Bruyne each missed 2/3rds of the season.

I'd hardly compare City's season without Laporte last season to Liverpool's collapse this season. Embarrassing. I recall in February Pep giving Klopp both barrels when he commented about City and Covid. I used to rate Klopp as a coach but less so after this season. Losing Van Dijk was tough but playing a suicidal back high up the pitch with two pedestrian central defenders is just bad management

Helps also with clever squad rotation, Klopp has been extremely lucky in previous seasons to have got so much out of the same team most weeks with little rest for his players so it’s no surprise it caught up with them.
But of course it’s not his fault and you do not expect any “media” to do actual work and look into this and question him of course.

klopp moaning about injuries and if city had the injuries they have had they would not win the title ???
pep 2nd and defending back to back champions season we had so many injuries throughout the season and still won the title. even this season winning the title without strikers ? or a proper left back ?

It’s a nice PR story for those clubs but when it comes to funding there’s no sentimentality where money is concerned. American owners are not benefactors.

But that's exactly the sort of short-term profit-driven attitude that these owners have. Of course women's football is loss-making for big clubs right now. But the whole point is that we invest in it now and it will hopefully become a popular sport as it gets better. And if it does, us and Chelsea will be in pole position to take advantage, while the rags and dippers will still be relying on the historical achievements of the men's team to claim prestige. It'll be City players starring in the Champions League, World Cup or Olympics. It'll be City selling more kits to little girls. And if it never becomes that big, well let's be honest, it's all for the price of a squad player in the men's team.

To be fair, I think the rags have recognised this and that's why they seem a bit keener to make a go at it after years of not giving a shit. It still irritates me to hear them referred to as a big team though, as if the women's team has anything to do with the men's team. If anything, it shows a lack of respect for teams that have been successful in women's football for years.

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.

Ungracious winners. Sore losers. Someone fetch Klopp's toys as he's just bucked them out his pram again. Diddums.
