The problem with your argument is
1- whilst we have endured defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal A- we have also enjoyed a fair amount of success against them as well and B- neither during the period of Mourinho through to Ancelotti have contested the Premier League title the way us and Chelsea have so losing to those teams holds no more significance than losing to City or Burnley
2- Does the league not prove that we've been more consistent rather than head to head the better team?
