Not talking cup competitions but yes in last two years City have been lucky with the draws.
They alway say over 38 games invariably the best teams win. You can't count one year of exceptional circumstance as luck or unluckily. It is what it is. There's no doubting in my opinion Liverpool's first team has been effected with most injuries than any other team although I do remember reading stats said Spurs had the most. However, I think that was overall injuries rather than their top 11 players.
You keep saying with a bit of luck you could of beaten United which anyone can say that. Just like me saying with a bit of luck United can win all their 38 games.
Put it down to skill which is what is was last year.
Hmm, I'm not sure whether you are being deliberately obtuse these days or are on a wind up, I certainly feel that I used to have better conversations with you in the past.
Losing 2 of your key CB's for almost the whole season is of course bad luck, there is no other way to interpret it and it will have a significant effect on our season.
City ALWAS getting easy competition in the cups is a massive advantage for them as it allows them to play the second team and rest/rotate their main players, to suggest that that kind of luck evens itself out or does not have an effect is idiotic at best, WUM'ish at worst!
Anyway I'll wait for Utd to get a single long-term injury this season and see if you still have the same opinion or are they so doped up on steroids that they are immune to fatigue on injury this season, it certainly seems that way so far.
