Well by that logic then Messi can't be one of the greatest players of all time because he didn't play for Stoke or Wigan and take them to the heights and win trophies. I have no idea why the footballing world is so upset at Man City and PSG and are quick to bring up their spending when Madrid were spending for years before them (galactico era), Man United have been spending even recently (beating out City to the likes of Sanchez, Fred, etc.). BigPokey supports Chelsea yet he forgot his club were the original sugar daddy club that were spending like no tomorrow that got them into the upper echelons of football. Man City have played all season without a striker, they don't have a LB instead they use Zinchenko (a midfielder) and Cancelo (who's a natural RB) and yet they've done well and if they win this weekend they'll be champions again.Coach wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 10:02 am @Piff, it’s call Naijitc thinking, “One’s success is a produce of their surrounding”.

Everyone loves to win but reality indicates that in any true competition,What makes a successful team, the players or the coach?

Chief I think you need to do your research. Cancelo and Zinchenko did not cost that much combined. He bought Mendy that barely featured but has since used Fabian Delph and Zinchenko in those positions, both of whom aren't natural LBs. This season he played without a striker, I wonder what the excuse for that will be.txj wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:35 pmIts because the subvert the competitive balance of the game.Mr. Piffington wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 2:09 pmWell by that logic then Messi can't be one of the greatest players of all time because he didn't play for Stoke or Wigan and take them to the heights and win trophies.

You cite the fullbacks Cancelo and Zinchenko.
To arrive at his current fullbacks, he spent 250mp. Just to get it right in the fullback positions...
That's in the realm of fantasy football...
Contrast this with Klopp who spent 8m for Robertson, 7m for Tsimikas and developed Trent from the academy (with Conor Bradley, a Northern Ireland international coming thru) , producing in the process 3 world class fullbacks for a whopping 15MP!
Pe's a brilliant manager and one of the great coaching minds in the game. But he's long since transitioned from advancing the game....
Thiago was £20m. But anyway several teams have spent more than Liverpool in recent years and have less to show for it. Paying for a resource and knowing what to do with it to make it successful are two separate things.Coach wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 8:54 pm Swings and roundabouts.

As some do with fullbacks, others do with midfielders. Fabinho, Thiago, Keita, all upwards of 30 million…In all honesty, Liverpool much like City, became the imperial outfit of today, once they brought the cash out.
Success doesn’t come cheap.

And the excuses will keep pouring in. Okay, he floods the midfield, if it were that simple more teams will be doing it but they don't.GG of G wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 8:25 pm Not playing a striker is by you. He floods the middle to keep a stranglehold on the game and play 95% possession football. Jesus is a striker but he won't get a run.
I seriously have mad respect for Kloop. I looked at his squad and the 2nd team he trudged out against Southampton and wondered how many of those would get Man city C team, imagine James Milner, Tmiskas etc.
Yup. Some people almost make it seem like it's only City that pays for players while poor old Liverpool gets their for free.Coach wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 8:54 pm Swings and roundabouts.

Danilo isn't on the team, he hardly featured the year he was there. Mendy played a total of like 5 games before he tore his acl, after which he hardly featured and wasn't instrumental to their success. Zabaleta, Sagna, Kolarov, and Clichy were all out of contract.txj wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 11:28 pmMr. Piffington wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 8:07 pmChief I think you need to do your research.
