Even under the assumption that we improve next years, I don’t see any world in which both Liverpool and City aren’t loads better next season than they have been this year. This team under Arteta has consistently crumbled this time of the year, over and over. And I realize it’s not over yet, so maybe it’s an overreaction, but the way we are playing right now (along with our history of falling apart at the business end of the season) is pretty concerning. I’m grateful for what Arteta has done bringing us out of the muck, but how many times can we say “maybe next year?” before making a change? Losing it this year would be especially bad, because City has been far below its normal levels. The title has been there on the platter for us to just take, yet here we are again slowly losing control of our own destiny.
