Agreed, but in comparison only with the relevant era's i.e City squad then against all other squads then... were we better than all the competition? Useless argument and point I know but good for a discussion in a forum?This current team, and the team of the last 5 years, are likely up with the best ever seen in English football. As much as the 67/68 team were brilliant in that era, they wouldn’t finish top half in todays league, sadly.
I think you have to say it is worse because they now have VAR but continue to make the same “mistakes”. The incompetence/corruption is even less acceptable and even more obvious.Once upon a time, Mike Riley used to ref. I just think it’s stayed just as bad as years ago.
This team has been absolutely dominant, its won 4/5 titles, been to a European cup final and numerous semi finals, got 100 points in a 38 game season and been European footballs top scorers. The 2 teams are incomparable.
