Royal Rother If Man City end up with more points at the end of the season THEY will DESERVE to win the league.
At the moment Liverpool look like they are peaking, while Man City are slipping slightly. That could switch in the remaining games. Man City’s bigger squad could yet prove decisive.
2 GREAT teams we are fortunate to watch every week.

Loafer BBC summed it up nicely
"Ten Hag will be taking on a dysfunctional dressing room inhabited by players who do not want to be there, who are not good enough to be there and a team that embarrassed the club's good name in the 4-0 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield."

Whore Jackie Also think, given the choice, that Liverpool would take the PL, and City the CL. The two outcomes that I assume would piss off Man U the most.

Franchise FC If Liverpool manage the four, that’s quite possibly the worst scenario for United.
20 titles matched and the ‘treble’ outperformed
Through gritted teeth I’m sure United fans would want City to win the PL

It seems odd to me that the percieved wisdom seems to be that City have the strongest squad but the same school of thought is saying that they'll change things to concentrate on one trophy or another (as seen on Saturday)

South Coast Royal After the Liverpool v Man Utd game it was interesting to hear Souness' view (not contradicted by either ex-Man Utd's Neville or Keane)that if picking the best 11 for the two starting teams NONE of the Man Utd lot would get in.
That is despite £80 million or so spent on Maguire and Pogba plus whatever it was for Wan-Bissaka and Fernandes let alone the sub Sancho.
What an indictment of the Man Utd spending and team building in recent years.
And the fans blame the Glaziers.

and Souness is absolutely right - not one of them would get into either Liverpool or Man City team.
They are an utter mess. Complete re-build yet again. Think its more than just coaching and a number of players want out. They really could be the modern day Arsenal for years.

I think Ronaldo gets into the City team, although that is more down to them not having a recognised CF, rather than him fitting in with how City play. He'd score a oxf*rd hatful with the way City play though.
Other than that, I think De Gea is someone who wouldn't make either team worse, not that he would necessarily get in ahead of Alison/Ederson, just that he would be adequate enough to have both teams still at the top of the league.

I think Pogba would do alright under Pep in that City team.

Not a bad shout, as long has he had a good partner next to him. Rodri or Fernandinho would be fine.
