When Liverpool became competitive getting some serious enforcements Citi’s domination ended.. that is my point. Manu are a joke of a team no matter how much money they throw at it Beating Pool is the league by just 1 point is not domination
Getting 98 points in a league season is pretty dominant. So is getting 100 points. Don't wanna go in circles as you are contradicting yourself here. If 2nd position is 81 points, that's a problem and if runner up gets 97, that's also problem? What do you expect? Get 114 points? City got highest and second highest number of points in PL history in back to back seasons. That was domination in a league system.
You are lacking comprehension skills if you do not understand that beating your closest opponent by just one point when the two teams as now comparable in talent is not dominating the league.
What he means is dominant in the sense of the entire league. To get 100 points, you have to win a lot of games...be dominant...
And That is his interpretation. In my view being dominant in a league is doing what they did the season prior where they were clearly above every other team but starting last season that was clearly not the case anymore.
Atletico drop another 2 points in their game against Valladolid. The game was some weird version of MMA with a ball. Both teams hacked at each other ridiculously. Sandro fluffed his lines from the spot and missed the chance for Valladolid to take all 3 points.
Pep was never dominant in La Liga either then. Title race was close in 2009-10 and he lost the league by 9 points in 2011-12.
He wasn’t. He had the core of the Spanish world cup and Euro winning team + prime Messi in that treble year. The aura of Pep is a fabrication that started by Barca/Messi fanboys when in reality Barca used to play amazing football under Rijkaard and VanGal winning trebles as well.
Just a week ago people were waxing lyrically about the greatest of Pep's indomitable City, how they never rely on crosses and cut through opposition, etc..
I agree, I've been saying for the longest time that Pep is perhaps the most overrated manager - his "philosophy" bullshit has poisoned football. He hasn't been relevant in European football since 2012 and suffers routine embarrassing losses in CL with his billion-dollar sidways-passing machines.
He destroyed and gutted Heynkes's Bayern which was possibly one of the most impressive assembled teams of all time

It’s too early to write City off. There are still 30 league games to play, it’s a long season, anything can happen. Liverpool will hit a slump at some point, it’s inevitable, you can’t just keep winning. Liverpool were top of the league last Christmas and they didn’t win, so it won’t surprise me if City win it again this year. There’s still a lot of football left to play, including 2 games between City and Pool. If City win them, they are right back in the title race.
I really do not care about City or Pep, but its always funny when team can win 10 straight matches, but if they loosing the next match suddenly everyone screaming like its end of the world. Everyone loosing. We are loosing matches, Barca, City, Bayern, even Liverpool got very lucky couple time this season, literally escaped last seconds. It happens, cant win it all.
Damn.. you look at this United squad. i have never seen such a horrible United team. 10-12th place seems logical if you look to this players.
