2013-14 was tough to take given what happened and how late it happened. It was more a jugular version of Liverpool and was Sublime as well as Chaotic at the same point. As a fan, I was literally on the edge every game as we need a 2-3 goal cushion to see out the game under Rodgers. The Chelsea one was way too much as I was bantering with my Chelsea folks of the Garcia Ghost Goal. They never accepted to date, if not for the goal, it was a penalty and a probable sending off too.
But this year, we had more than a fair chance to win and I would not say bottle it but I think Klopp at that moment felt 1 point from Old Trafford is a good point. Which most of the fans also felt was not right, we thought United were there for the taking but I really did not understand what stopped us from attacking and going for the Kill. Liecester and West Ham sort of killed us, I would have taken a Win and a Loss there instead of 2 Draws too.
What City have is 2 quality sides, People say Guardiola does magic with squads and not many top managers are able to do it with budget or money, I would disagree to an extent there. Except for Bayern, PSG or City now with the money, tell me a Team that dominates in Player Quality above everyone else in their respective League (Juventus is an ageing squad in a subpar Serie A). And the Barcelona side Pep took over was polished by ex-Barca folks and had the Cryuff mould to it with Iniesta and Xavi along with Messi coming to their prime.
People say Klopp spent money, But we lost Coutinho and before that Suarez, and before that Torres. Man City never had to face this at all in their time.
Robinho, Lescott, Adebayor, Mangala, Bravo, Nasri, Balotelli, Bentley, Roque Santa Cruz, Wright Phillips etc were all bought for a lot of money and replaced with more money without even worrying about recouping from player sales. This is what we are talking about. This was there from 2008 and there was no denying.
I am pretty sure we will not fall of the Cliff like anyone else and be there challenging for it again for years to come. I am really hoping for the 6th in Madrid, Kiev just broke me last year but what Ramos did was criminal. I now dislike Spain that I really like for their play due to RM and Ramos
