Do you want to talk about price or quality of players let me know my counter response.

You must not engage every argument. Some are just designed to derail.

Bombblacks:
Common sense will tell you Pre means before immediately moving to City/Liverpool or breaking into the first team.

Leicester Mahrez vs Roma Salah

Academy Trent vs Tottenham Walker

Monaco Fabinho vs Atletico Rodri etc

In Riyad's last season before Joining City he had 12 goals in 36 appearances. Salah had 15 in 31 before he joined Liverpool. Is that Pre enough? Fabinho had 7 in 34 and Rodri had 3 in 34?

Bombblacks:
It has to do with everything. Before going to their current clubs who was better? Just because klopp is better at developing individual players better than Pep should be to his own credit.

I don't know how to do all these emotional arguments. At what point in anyone's history is Pre the club, Pre the Club? For e.g, when was Pre Mahrez? When he was in Le Havre and Salah was already in Chelsea? Fabinho of league winning Monaco/SFinalist UCL to Rodri that nobody accepted as good till this season? QPR Walker or Trent "Wonder Kid" Alexander?

Bombblacks:
Pre city Walker vs Academy Taa......Walker

Pre City Mahrez vs pre Liverpool Salah...... Mahrez

Pre City Rodri vs pre Liverpool Fabinho......Rodri

Pre City Grealish vs pre Liverpool Jota....... Grealish

what does Pre City/Liverpool have to do with anything?

AnfieldFan:
First of all, you're aware 2021 spans two halves of two seasons right?
First half- Liverpool's highest goalscorer who helped us qualify for Europe ahead of Chelsea when everyone wrote us off..

Second half - August to Dec - Don't need to comment about this...
So, how exactly was the aforementioned forwards better...
Better still, since they are forwards..
Let's list 3 criterias...
Goals in 2021
Assists in 2021
Chances in 2021

If they all best Salah in these 3 categories, I will concede they all had better 2021's...

The soccer year 2021 is essentially from August 2020 - August 2021.

raumdeuter:
Haaland Lukaku Neymar Ronaldo what did they do to make it over Salah

Essentially they won more whilst scoring more (don't know if Neymar scored more).

Bombblacks:
Once again you didn't.

Allison, TAA, VVD, Fabinho, Salah, Mane, Jota.

AnfieldFan:
Doesn't deserve?
Very funny...

Over the people who made it for his position.

Bombblacks:
You didn't.

I did. Let your knowledge of venn diagrams or set theory come into play.

AnfieldFan:
Those 9 goals dragged Liverpool to the Champions league... Everyone knows Salah was the Liverpool attacker who did the most towards the end of last season..

Salah does not deserve to be on FIFPRO list in a year ending 2021. He will make the 2022 list though.

Bombblacks:
Guy just list the Liverpool players that are of greater qualities than City.

I just did. Someone else can explain it better to you.

Bombblacks:
Don't think. Just list those players and let's look at their quality before going to City and Liverpool.

Allison, TAA, MATIP, VVD, Robertson, Fabinho, Alcantara, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Jota that is their best 11 - LFC. Ederson, Walker, Diaz, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, KDB, Grealish, Riyadh Mahrez, Foden. Keeper - LFC, Defense- Most people will take only Diaz from City and maybe Cancelo (tie), Midfield - City (most might take only Fabinho from LFC). Attack - LFC. I have used "consensus" to come up with this. Personal preference may differ.

Pierocash:
whether they are all in EPL or not, is it not ManCity that played the 3 matches?

Defeat is defeat, it has nothing to do with the league or cup.

How can a team that lost 3 games be better than the one that lost only 2?

Because City lost 4 games in 2018/19 and Liverpool lost 1 yet who won the league that season?

Godsofsoccer:
He said this season.
You've lost a whooping 4 matches plus this season against teams that aren't even standard.
Stop making needless mouths.

No be you go first top table no win league.

PSG, RP LEIPZIG, THFC and Crystal Palace? So did City finish second in the UCL group stage? As they lost to Crystal Palace did they not beat Chelsea on Chelsea's ground?

macjireh:
ur welcome... so u live in Lagos?

Yeah.

Bombblacks:
Can you list those players?

I think Liverpool's starting 11 is better than Manchester City's but City have the better squad.

Pierocash:
Man City that Crystal Palace flogged at Etihad,Chelsea crushed them like banana pills.

That isn't how to rate football. One team can give u a tough time,another team you beat convincingly will destroy such team with ease.

ManCity have lost more than 3 matches this season while Chelsea lost only 2. Even with ten men wolves ,they struggle to get away with a goal. Chelsea is the favorite for the title. A team without their midfield maestros of Kovacic, and Ngolo Kante,yet still just 2point behind.

Waffle. The 3 matches are you referring to the EPL?

andrewbaba44:
Look at this city team and ask yourself if mahrez will be missed or not

lol

BikeMan:
This myth has been debunked in Barca sef. That's how people used to say any coach will win trophies at Barca because they had Messi

Ole spent more than Pep without winning even the fans' heart in the end but any coach can do what Pep is doing

Is it not the guy who wrote Chelsea off by December and has been trying to insult his way out of being held accountable for it?

MorataFC:
That was game 31, while 11 points separate first and second and there are still 21 points to play for.

you are right. I do remember that game and it was clear that MCFC were unbothered about winning. In fact, Leeds scored a winner against the run of play and with the last kick of the game after City had dominated.

Theuniverse:
on behalf of Chelsea fans worldwide, and full support of CFC board, i officially give up title chase. all hail new champions mancity. until next season

Not so. MCFC will prioritise the UEFACL soon. All CFC need to do is stay close till that time. If you wobble now and get distracted by CWC, then you would be out of the race. Liverpool might fall off when Salah and Mane leave.

MorataFC:
No, that's not entirely true

What is the other part of the truth?

Maximilan:
He’s played only 584 minutes out of a possible 1530 this season, he’s a good player but they’ve got good or even better cover.

I see your point.

BikeMan:
What did Ole use the tools they gave him to do? Improve the DNA of the club after spending more than Pep in his time at Manyoo. You scummies are unrighteous by nature

Don't mind them. Any coach will do it and all the rich and intelligent execs in MCFC did not fire Pep and hire any coach for cheap since those coaches will achieve more?

macjireh:
even me got to church late,,but its not just FG,,he said government are trying to close down churches,, I think government here could be beyond Nigeria,,maybe world government,, den he quoted from psalm 2:2-9,, he said God will have d government in derision,, that is they will think their plans are working just like pharoah,,den suddenly they will perish,,DAT they will sleep and not wake up...that d days of playing with churches and men of God are over...from 2022 d Church will begin to take over d government circles

Thanks man. I heard these parts.

MorataFC:

7:0
Something is wrong with this team
This leeds utd collect 4 points from man city last season having red carded in first half at ethiad yet with less player on the field dey still beat dem @ ethiad .

They had won the league when they lost that game. I would not read much into it.

Maximilan:
Seems Peps about to go for that 10+ match winning streak again, also don’t have any major departures during the AFCON tournament. Looking like another top 4 hustling season.

Mahrez?

macjireh:
relate wetin

What prophecies did Dr Isaiah give on sunday. Joined the stream late and they made it private shortly. I heard him say FG was trying to lockdown churches again. What else did he say?

Fouled on his last lay up. Fouled on the last 3 attempted. Looney was also fouled on his put back game-winning shot. None given. But they used the tackiest foul in the world to allow the Nets beat the Knicks. Clown world.

Macjireh come here make we relate.

Credit to the Sixers for holding the warriors to a season low, but darn, the NBA cannot let a crowd puller like Steph be treated like fodder for farm animals. It is ridiculous what teams are allowed to do to him, only to turn around and give fouls on him for breathing on other players. It is a complete disgrace, but keep doing it, I don't need more proof to know that fools run the league.

Thecassanova:
Does hitting the armpit count as handball ?

You are looking at still images. During the live streaming, the first view from VAR showed it hit Moutinho under his arm. The other views showed it hit his body first before his arm. It hit his arm, his position was unnatural and it gave him an advantage. I agree that it was soft, but a Wolves player used his hand first half to guide the ball away and the ref ignored. Then Foden had his own shot blocked by a hand that was never reviewed.
