I’ve never said they’re not decent, but theee’s loads of decent teams across Europe with good squads (potentially better on paper) good managers and they all have off days, bad injuries, patches of bad form, bad luck etc.

Liverpool had one half season last year when they were rancid, but aside from that they’ve been in god like form for multiple seasons now. Barely losing league games, hardly picking up injuries, just repeatable form week after week season after season.

Why is it such a problem for the likes of PSG Chelsea Barcelona Madrid United Juventus to have this sort of form yet City and Liverpool are doing it season after season now.

Liverpool win a lot of games unconvincingly. The keeper makes a lot of saves, last ditch defending or struggling to break a team down and then score from a scrappy set piece.

City are a robotic winning machine. They win nearly every game all season long and few teams even get the ball off them.

They're nowhere near City's level now.

Yeah but it just continues every game. People have been saying that someone will eventually give them a pasting one of these days but it never arrives. City can occasionally play badly and give a Norwich or a Southampton a half chance and it’s in their net straight away. Liverpool will give most teams a few one on ones every game and none of them score.

When was the last time they even conceded from a corner or free kick (which every side does eventually). Players miss pens against them. Hardly anyone curls in a worldie against them. It goes on and on. They’re not even particularly good defensively yet teams just do not punish them week after week season after season.

They’ve got a huge chance at all 4 trophies. They don’t get injuries, they get fortuitous refereeing decisions, fixtures are nicely in their favour, and teams have a mental block about performing against them and putting the ball in the net.

Not a chance Liverpool will win all 4 trophies. They only seriously challenge for 2 and if they pick up a domestic trophy, a great deal of luck if usually involved.

PSG Chelsea Bayern Juve Madrid Barca all lose lots of games every season. Even very good Barca teams with prime Messi Iniesta etc. lost games.

City and Liverpool barely lose any. Spending is one thing. Doping for ridiculous consistency is another.

Do you honestly believe they are the only two clubs doing it? If it's going on then they all do it. Same with athletics and cycling, they are all at it. The only ones who are clean just haven't been caught yet.
And we do lose, we've lost twice already this season and we lost 6 league games last season. Our consistency is down to two things. Buying the right players, and having the best manager in the world coaching them. They get rotated on a regular basis to help keep them fresh. They still get tired and if you watched them as much as I do, then you would notice when individual players look tired or leggy and sometimes the whole team looks completely stale and almost spent.
The idea that all our players never get tired or injured is demonstrably wrong.

City do rotate their players, the rs dont as much.
