They could, looking very impressive but I don't think they will as they'll hit some bad luck. Wouldn't be surprised if they went out in the CL to a dodgy call or unlucky goal despite dominating the game. Although, KDB and Kun will be back soon so you'd expect them to find yet another gear. Would be impressed if they did get all 4 and it would rub salt into Liverpool fans wounds after their nonsense about Liverpool being the best champions ever last year and being all set to dominate for the next decade.

Ideal scenario until we can challenge or they eventually revert to their mean as a club is that they win every PL season (since they will always have far fewer obnoxious fans than the other contenders) but never win the CL (as, like when Spurs came close, it's more prestigious for us to belong to a smaller group of English clubs who have won the European cup). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 With Man City, you have that pure genius quality feel. They are that good. With Liverpool, even last season, it was never a team I'd fear of playing. Really good, top side but not a side that will run you over. Man City over the last 3 years are a far superior team to plop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maybe remember it wrong but I recall them knocking at our door constantly. 70% possession, 23 chances and 28 shots. Not impossible we’d have hung on for a 0-0 though if it wasn’t for that (legal, but the rules are shit) goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. Man City when they are in the mood and everything clicks are terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were knocking on the door but it felt (at least to me) that we would keep them at bay, if not even nick an unlikely win ourselves (we had a few great chances to do so).

Think it was the 79th minute they scored as well and they were for City starting to run out of ideas that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they'll go out of the CL because that will be when Guardiola decides to whack out the Wingerless 2-2-5-1 he's been cooking up but not actually worked on in training at all. Pep loves to needlessly overcomplicate his formations/tactics in the CL. Edited February 18, 2021 by MessiWillSignForVilla 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 That 100 point City team was the best in the PL era I think. They were imperious. Damn near 4-0 every week. Not sure if this season's incarnation will eclipse that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's back in training. He might not be at the levels he once was but if they get deep into Europe I'd expect him to want to be involved. Also, don't ruin the idea of seeing him playing alongside Messi next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal has been now considered as illegal - as we all knew at the time but the FA had to try and protect their precious referees. Two weeks later they confirmed it was an error, you know, after the noise had died down. it was the 79th minute, the game had become quite open at both ends and we’d begun to make some great chances, the McGinn air shot comes to mind. So yes, we were cheated out of that result all ends up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
