The pattern is obvious from both. They took their time to get the squad they wanted at a certain level (Took Pep one season, took Klopp a couple), then they started doping in 2 year cycles.
I mean the jump up in points is ginormous for both teams. The drop off is then huge after 2 seasons, only to be followed by yet another huge leap up. We’re talking 20-30 points swing between seasons. Now you can have a centreback out injured but fundamentally it’s basically the same squad with the same managers. There’s no logical reason for such huge swings in performance being exactly mirrored by both teams.
You can see clearly as well in the two years both have cycled on we’ve had the title race decided by a point. In the ones when one has not been then the other has destroyed them by a huge amount. Why such a disparity between two teams who just the season before have only been separated by a point but in another one can put 20 points between each other?
Sadly it means that next season Liverpool are still cycling whilst City will be coming off. Perhaps Haaland can keep them in touch but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them run off with it again.
A rhe drugs started to kick in this season their second half form reads 16 wins and three draws (City, Chelsea, Spurs). Sadly City without drugs are not going to get anywhere near mid 90s next season.

Between them they played 76 league games this season and lost only 5. Just ridiculous

Dont worry me mate I've convinced myself Haaland will win them it again next season.
Personally I hope Madrid go in for Salah and his heads turned - even if Liverpool made £80-90 million on him I dont think there is anyone out there who would replace his goals/assists now Mbappe is staying at PSG.

When true champions are backed into a corner they respond, and that's what this Man City side are true and worthy champions.
Still though one covid/zero people in the ground league title in thirty two years, despite all that money spent ain't a bad record at all.

I think I'm going blind because I've watched that video about 10 times and I can see when he holds his head but I'm not seeing any contact

I can remember when liverpool played city on the last day, a false rumour went around city needed a draw the liverpool fans laughed and the players passed the ball around in their half for a draw city had to win , liverpool players were happy for them to be relegated alan ball was the manager, I hope hes up there laughing now.

Liverpool deserve all the misfortune on the pitch they get but I can't help but feel that not knowing what you need to stay up BEFORE the last day seems, I don't know, kind of dumb?
