I can't help but think that the preposterous non offside decision against City when we played at Triffid gave them some kind of unwarranted self belief in their over inflated self opinions.
Then, winning against a poor Barca side, then a cup, actually brought them to a point whereby they actually thought they were contenders.
The Dunning-Kruger effect springs to mind here.

The rags managed to sucker us on the back of a piss poor reffing performance. Sitting deep soaking up pressure and then punting it into the channels, text book Solksjaer football. That result gave them the belief they could all of a sudden go out and dominate teams. Well if you are playing against bottom of the table teams you can, however when they come up against a dangerous team like Liverpool they would come a cropper.
Liverpool like to throw the kitchen sink at teams in sustained 15-20 minute spells. You either weather it or concede a lot of goals and are out of the game by the end of it. Going completely gung ho the rags left themselves wide open, we’ve taken some beatings pre 2008 however could you imagine what it would be like to witness a seven goal mauling with the personnel at City’s disposal?
