City have 1 fit CB and he's their worst of the lot. Liverpool have the title unfortunately. They're getting the luck as well which you need, though they also had that last season.

Weirdly over the last 18 months Man City have had quite a few moments of bad luck which puts their title last season in even more perspective. Liverpool are absolutely getting it with goalkeeper howlers, last minute dodgy pens etc. It's given them 4 points in the last two games already (and another earlier in the season). I usually maintain the best team gets the most luck but they had much more than City last year too.

Sickening era tbf.

They attack relentlessly until the clock runs out, you could very well say the luck is mostly on their opponents cause they don't concede much earlier.

As for their dodgy pens, nothing out of the ordinary that other teams don't receive as well. When you guys were on top, this was constantly happening:

Of course Liverpool somehow avoid getting a penalty against them from a handball by Alexander-Arnold only to counter attack and score. Liverpool will just forever remain unbelievably lucky

I think it's a bit funny to say that when they're the current European champions.

Well, the usual from him is a good first season, great 2nd season and implosion in the 3rd.

What's unusual this time is that he's taking over a club during the season, which hasn't happened since he left Porto.
He's also not going to get Levy to net spend like Ed/Manure.
They will probably sell Eriksen, and a few others to fund their market.

Who are top 3? I think it's hard to give these ratings, too much depends on circumstances. Except Klopp, who is surely nr1, I don't think there are many universal managers... in some situations someone like Carlo would be best choice, for others it's someone like Mou.

I rate him higher than Guardiola though, as I think he's much more universal.

certain clubs have a duty not just to its fans but to the sport... the vision to play must be of a fixed philosophy. Like at Barca, like at Real... mou is ill suited to train these clubs.

This will be interesting, Spurs teams is built to play free flowing football..something which Mou isn't known for.

Best of luck to them, i really hope they finish in CL places instead of Arsenal/Chelsea.

Man United finished 14 points above Leicester last season and then paid £80M for Maguire and so far this season sits 12 points below Leicester.

Now that Guardiola has won 1 of his last 5 games with Man City's supersonic team, how would he fare at Milan? :head:

Teams sometimes burn out, while i don't think he is all that the press and rabbit fans are making him out to be, the guy is a great coach.

It's not like he constantly underperformed with a stacked team. League titles take consistency to win, champions league titles have a rather huge margin of luck attached to them.

A coach of his caliber is what current Milan needs foremost. Because a good coach can work with a current crop of players, no matter how shitty and built a system and a winning mentality at the club.

We don't have that at Milan anymore, there's no identity, and it doesn't look like Pioli's mediocre ass is gonna bring it, or the ineptitude of Maldini and Boban of handling things.
