Exact same happened to us, we played more attacking and generally better football the year we won the UCL compared to a more controlled style when we won the league the following year.
Honestly I think it was more the determination to win the league after losing by a point and the motivation from winning the UCL that launched us to the title the next season.
I actually think our major style change occurred after 17/18, we were way more free flowing and open that season and changed it all up the next season.
I honestly think the title race will be so close between Liverpool, Arsenal and City that it’s a complete toss-up at this stage over what happens. I’m dying for Arsenal to win, but I can’t say it’s more than a 1/3 chance.
But yea, Liverpool lose Salah and Endo, possibly Matip aswell? Not sure if he still plays for his national team or that he retired.
Arsenal will lose Partey, which we have done for the whole season anyway, Elneny (who is just getting fit) and Tomiyasu (who has been very important for us.
City lost Rodri and dropped important points. I know they have more squad depth than both Liverpool and Arsenal but it’s Rodri the one player they cannot replace in case he gets injured again or suspended, unlike any other position on the field. It’s definitely unlikely that we’ll miss more games this season but anything can happen
Do you know that black doesn’t mean they play for an African country? Try reign in your racism a bit. Here’s a clue, neither of the two Arsenal players you mentioned, will be going to an African competition
Very similar to man city too. Won the treble last year because they improved defensively.
We saw it in the Arsenal v Man city match, 2 teams that set up to make it very difficult for the opposition to play through them. Resulting in an arguably more turgid encounter.

I mean you all had less points the next year. Just teams fluctuate and city didn’t get such an insane point total the next year
Same with mancity concede less win the league
And we played even better (I.e more attacking) football the first year we got to the final under Klopp.
To be fair we had to because the defence was still a total shambles at that point. No VVD until January and no Alisson either.

To even be in the position for a third of a chance is solid progress from just two seasons ago.
Injuries and fitness are likely going to be the decider. In that case, I’d give an edge to City, unfortunately.
Experience as well. Liverpool still have prime players who’ve won everything (Salah, vvd, Alisson, Trent)
I don’t see it as even that close tbh… 60% chance city wins it, 20% each for Arsenal/Liverpool
I think AF Cup is the difference this season. Liverpool loses Salah, Arsenal loses Saka, but City loses no one.
saka the famous english star?
Has to be trolling lmao.

Not ideal, but could be worse
Could be worse yes. But Partey and Timber are huge loses.
I do think we would be much more legitimate contenders if Partey was fit

LMAOOOO

Spurs obviously can best them all
And then you have all the other top 10 teams are incredibly hard to win away at
Arsenal are nowhere near 1/3 chance. Iirc city are at 80 or 90% and Liverpool are a bit above arsenal.
Shut up, nerd!

I mean this ignores that you had the second most points in history
If just was unlucky it was city’s best league campaign
Had zero to do with playstyle
let’s be real though we should’ve won the league the year we won the UCL, we lost it on 1 point
Then you shouldn’t have won it m8
Let’s be real though. We should’ve won the league but after 38 games, another team had more points than us
I mean you for 98 points that CL season. You were 100% good enough to win the league in fairness
The fact they got 98pts and didn’t win the league is astonishing. I can confidently say that will never happen again. Definitely won’t be beaten!
They got 97, and honestly I feel like it will happen again it cuz it happened in 21-22 w Liverpool getting 92 and still losing by a point
Didn’t Barca get 100 in Madrid 102 season? It will never happen again for sure tho
No offense to La Liga, but i think it’s a bit different than Premier League. Barcelona and Real Madrid are so much better than all the other teams
