It really is curious how they are immune to any degree of criticism from our media. It would be interesting to get someone with a masters in psychology/sociology to rationalise the unremitting reverence of them because honestly, it's difficult to get your head round.
Also, can someone help me out? The general consensus from their fans and their zealots within the mainstream media is that they have the best goalkeeper, the best centre backs, the best full backs, the best DM, and the best front three in the league. Okay, I'll accept that argument. But only if they accept in turn that Pep is the greatest manager in the world for besting this team four out of five times with purportedly inferior players.
But no! They cry in indignation, Klopp is the best manager in the world because he doesn't buy "ready-made" world class superstars like Pep. Oh, okay then, so our players *are* better? No!
And therein lies the rub. The inconsistencies and flagrant hypocrisy, you can't win an argument with the vast majority because the media have already neatly packaged the idealisms for them.
Sports journalism is lowest common denominator in the field of journalism itself for this very reason; their job is easy because they can afford to avoid all nuance and rinse and repeat tired cliches; this is the reason Liverpool supporters believe they have the best team in the world at this moment, when the reality is wholly different.
Powerful tool, the media.
