What the title says, basically. The first two can be improved, to a certain extent, without turning into a Simeone/Arteta-managed team (even though it was 2021 when I was noting that Liverpool are way too nice. Must be in the DNA).

But the last issue (documented in depth by The Tomkins Times) means that Liverpool must be absolutely perfect to win something. There should be scientific studies on statistical anomalies such as losing the foul balance when dominating a game, not receiving any VAR decision in the first 30 minutes of a game, not having an opponent sent off on Anfield between 2015 and 2023 or having the last penalty given on Anfield back when Elon Musk was still cool. Not to mention valid goals not given because a VAR referee was still hungover after a trip to Dubai or another shady (and sentenced) referee admitting on video how much he hates the Liverpool manager.

Oh, and don’t get me started on how unbearable the whole Premier League establishment has gotten in the last years. I was writing about this back in 2018, and now it’s gotten to a point where I must be really bored to get myself in front of a PL game.

Also, just leaving this here for the future: Man City will be fine. They cheated their way into winning it all, stole the best years of Klopp’s Liverpool but they will now drag the PL into so many legal battles that by the end everyone will be happy with a financial settlement. Move on, nothing to see there.
