Brilliant!
I've heard a few points from RS where they're suggesting City are succeeding because they've become more 'sterile', which has let them win without crowds.
Sterile? It's not exactly the word I'd use to describe the highest goal scorers, most sound defence and a team playing some very good football.

But apart from scoring the most goals, having the best defence, playing the best football and winning every game, they've been a bit crap haven't they?
most of them are when you get onto talking football, they turn from normal people into full on cultists, spouting the mantra of the day.
It must be soul destroying for City fans to watch Pep's drivel week in, week out.
Looks that way. The only cavaet is, at Rangers he has one of the oldest squads in the league. He's basically outspent his rivals, got more experienced players in and won a trophy at the 9th time of asking. That will not be the approach for FSG. It's about as far away from their approach as you can get.
The Gerrard thing is absolutely beset with problems for me. A lot of the time I'm in favour of people coming back to their clubs, I wouldn't rule out Rooney here in 10 years or whatever, but it just feels a bad fit to me.

Proper weird bunch that lot.
Thanks mate. Sometimes it's mistaken as criticism of Klopp which it isn't meant to be. But there is a boom and bust cycle. He has a similar cycle to Mourinho, but each segment takes probably twice as long.
You're right about Dortmund too. I went travelling through Germany just over a decade ago, spending a bit of time there and I was always very drawn to Dortmund and Klopp. You were very taken in and followed their results, and knew people who supported them, and they all said the same things. The crash was awful, they needed a prolonged winter break to stem the bleeding and it was just not an option for him to stay another season.
As a club they kept Houllier, and to a degree Benitez a season too long. From their perspective, Klopp should be moved on now, and a ruthless club would do that.
If this is what they've done, not only is it completely out of order, to try and further politicise an issue tha has led to a woman and her young child having to live in fear of their lives, but it is enormously counter productive.
I remember as a teenager I broke my foot playing for a team. As you can probably imagine, I was quite the gobby little you know what even back then, and used to organise whole team in almost a sweeper position. They lost the 1st game I was away 14-0 and I remember the manager politely saying to my parents I shouldn't come back and watch until I could play again. It was a distraction, and they needed to learn to find solutions without me being there, which over the time they did to be fair.
I think the near constant harking back to Van Dijk hasn't helped them in the least. At best it's likely to cause resentment from existing players and at worst it will cause them to feel enormous pressure that it's constantly being reminded to them they are not as good as Van Dijk. Plopping him in the stands won't help either. A bit like when Alex Ferguson was there under Moyes, it's just not helpful.
It will not go down well in a dressing room. Forget all this team spirit nonsense, there was a young Liverpool defender who said he deliberately tried to injure another player to get a game for the team, and this qas semi encouraged in their reserves or whatever. There was no sanction on him. Phillips will be delighted Van Dijk got injured, as it gives him exposure. It's a dog eat dog world. The referring back to him will not be helping, and if we are honest, it has caused their season to become derailed.
Yeah., Pep will get found out in the Premier League right enough.
If they keep going at that rate, in about 2500 years they will just about be getting to the point they can afford the transfer fee.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
LOL they all probably had tee shirts under their jerseys with some kind of solidarity message.. would have been a class act..or so we'd have been told by RS fans and media.

Just thinking about how he played all his stars against Villa youth in the FA Cup, and I actually think he probably said to them “they scored 7 against us, so we want 7 against them,” he seems that type of petty character. It made no sense for him to flog his best players in that game
