I think once Arsenal win one they will get the same stick. There will be some hindsight happening after Klopp has left around not being able to defend the trophy. However, he did win every trophy on offer so in my humble opinion he's been a great manager for them. Also, he did come up against Guardiola. To finish on 97 points and not win the title is absolutely ridiculous.I’ve heard Liverpool described as a great side, even Arsenal. Yet apparently, City had to win back to back titles before we could be known as being a great side.
Paul Gascoigne, David Beckham, Oasis and many others are all examples of this "build them up to knock them down" approach.I don't think that it's failure in itself that is being praised, it's more like success is not encouraged in this country.
Remember Susan Boyle winning that talent contest years ago? X factor or some such nonsense? She was catapulted from obscurity to international fame almost overnight. Then the tabloids turned on her and she became vilified, ridiculed and mocked by the very people who helped start her journey to fame and fortune.
Build 'em up, knock 'em down seems to be the British media's mantra.
Failure is praised so much in this country, because this country is run by failures !
Bollocks we have always been a great side, might have had some ups and downs but always a great team :-)I’ve heard Liverpool described as a great side, even Arsenal. Yet apparently, City had to win back to back titles before we could be known as being a great side.
