Roy Keane not holding back

What's he saying?

Don't forget in December he said city had no chance of winning the league
along the lines of; all they do is make excuses, they've been bad champions, they didn't look to push on and try to retain it, happy patting themselves on the back and if they continue like this it'll be another 30 years before they win it again.

To be fair he is not far wrong with Liverpool. Worst defence of a PL ever.
Man United finished 7th the season after the last time they won it,which is nearly 8 years ago now since they won it....Maybe if Liverpool finish 8th you might have a case...

Sensible, reality-based stuff from Keane there. :o ::)
which bit is he wrong about?

1. They've been devastated by injuries, which have had a major knock-on effect on the rest of the team. How would his United teams had faired if they played a season with himself and Paul Scoles playing centre of defense, while a succession of other midfielders also suffered lengthy absences?

2. Liverpool are just off two seasons where they maintained an insane rate of form, winning more than 30 games in each. There was bound to be a drop-off. Not even City could continue that into a third consecutive season.

3. What evidence is there that Liverpool were happy to rest on their laurels and make excuses?

Keano is Keano, a dream pundit for Sky Sports. Nobody can live with the standards he expects. He will tear into every team in rotation and poeple lap it up. Fans that are annoyed with him today were probably chuckling as he was ripping into United a few months back and vice versa by the way.

He's best treated as an entertaining sideshow ..

Milltown Row2

He's a piss taker on these shows and people bite... brilliant
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

27 points less than the same stage last season. No champion has dropped off as much before.

You're just making up ways of measuring failure now.

Leeds? Blackburn? Leicester?

This time last year Man City had 47 points after 22 games. They have 3 points more this season.

As someone already said as recently as United's last title, they bottled their defence and came 8th the following season. So he's factually incorrect and was a poor attempt at a wind up

Based on that logic.
If a team successfully defended the title while getting fewer points that the previous year, then that would be a poorer defence of their title than if they had come 2nd with more points that the previous year.
You can keep your poorly framed "statistic".
