We don't like it but the fact is yesterday we were nowhere near the level of performance needed to overcome both.
Agree with this and that is why IMO Pep's achievements are incredible. Klopp and Rags have to overcome the opposition and the cheating dice loaded in their favor (as it was with SAF).
Yesterday's Rags match with WH being typical. Actually since Rag Ralf took over the Rags have been the beneficiaries of a lot of 'close' calls.
If we were Liverpool or Rags yesterday we would have been helped by VAR, a red card or a penalty, etc... That is all it takes to swing a result.
It is easy to rant but I say look at Liverpool's game later today. Watch Robertson. He is like 007, he has a license to kill. Then if Liverpool are struggling watch the soft frees they get, etc...
As sheblue states, this is our reality and we need to beat two opponents every game. As I said in other posts, why is it a bad thing for City to win PL when it was a good thing for the Rags to win them i.e. 11 out of the first 15 or something like that?
Subscriptions generated by the largest global fan base is why I.e. money. The irony is that now we are told that little (no global fan base) old City's oil money is ruining the game.
