After Messi refused city you see him posting bad about them while he praises psg all the time

 

[Devils]

Spurs did it.

:wow:

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

City easily walk the league

Foden coming back , De bruyne coming back and sheikh transfering 178 Million to Spurs right now as I write

yeah they have also started bad last season and suddenly few weeks later they were a lot of points ahead of the second team

 

[Rassvet]

If Kane stays, Spurs could have quite a decent team.

 

[KingLeo10]

Lack of backbone, how?

Conceding 5 or 6 goals to Monaco.
Conceding 5 to Pool.
Getting beaten by the Spurs. Lol.
Getting beaten handily by Lyon. Lol.
0 goals in CL final versus a good but not special Chelsea side.

To counter this, they have 2 great CL performances v RM and PSG. But that still leaves it as 2 successes (against good teams) and 5 failures. To me, they don't react well when their Plan A doesn't work.

4 straight QFs meltdowns and a CL final where they looked toothless and didn't score is hardly good returns on the European stage for investing 1 billion plus in their squad in the last few years.

The PLs are nice but ultimately he was brought to City to win CLs and he's failed so far.

This discussion have been conducted many times here.
Twice they lost to great teams (Liverpool, Chelsea)
Once should go down in the books as the most unlucky knockout tie should have been through (Spurs) with a ridiculous xG of 8 or so in both legs.

The only real meltdown was against Lyon.

So, no you are wrong

PS: But I am not gonna continue. This discussion has been made million times.
IF you want to believe they always suffer a meltdown, you are free to do so

So, no

Liverpool in 17/18 wasn't great. They were in 18/19, though.
Chelsea in 20/21 wasn't great.

They also had a meltdown versus Monaco that you don't mention.

 

[Laplacian]

Anyways that was a fun matchweek. All of the top teams except for City look great. Hopefully this season we'll have a close title race.

 

[JamDav1982]

While PSG are one of 'favs' for CL when City beat them and they lost league to.... Lille.

Great stuff when based on history can twist it any way.

Lost to Man Utd etc..

Liverpool had won 5-0 against porto, 5-1 against city, 7-6 against roma before loosing to Real ( Liverpool was better until salah injury) -- If this wasnt great i dont know what great is.

 

[El Gato]

Wonder how James Davies 82 is.

They finished 4th in the league that season didn't they? With 75 points.

17/18 - Good
18/19 - Great
19/20 - Good
20/210 - Declining

Liverpool should have been title less that season ...... in 19/20 they were great though.

If we look only Pl i agree but in 19/20 they were more than good, nearly unbeatable, 32 W out of 38 matches.
