Have to say I've started to dislike football for past couple of seasons purely because of how Arsenal's owner has treated the club (plus showing lack of ambition by not taking action quick enough), but every season new hope is revived with either new signings, good young players (i.e Martinelli) or just because you can never really get away from it all. In the midst of all this negativity, a team playing good attacking football also brings you back into the game.
For a long time, Barca were the team to watch. They managed to stay at the top for unbelievably long, and only now are they looking like a normal team. Liverpool showed them up to the world last season in that second leg that as a neutral really was something else. There's no love lost for Liverpool around here, but lets give credit where it's due. This season they look like their attention is all set on winning PL for the first time. 17 wins spanning back to last season is incredible. But they are up against possibly the most dominant PL side in history with Pep's City (I think they edge Fergie's utd/Wenger's double winning/invincible teams or Mourinho's back to back champions). In fact we are witnessing a more superior title race than ever before in terms of quality. City and Liverpool both finished with points in record high 90's, and I don't see why this cannot be repeated again. City have already hit 100 once.
Barca and Madrid are struggling, but no doubt they'll be back at it soon, it's in their blood. But for now that gives both Liverpool and City a very good chance to bring the CL home. Arsenal and utd are both a sore sight for the eyes nowadays. It's criminal how these teams who for a long time were the backbone of this league are just mid-table, in fact in utd's case, they are amongst the relegation lot with just under 20% of the season gone!
But back to main point, this Liverpool team may not last too long as success comes and goes. But to watch them is quite special. Klopp's style of football is so brilliant. When you can have guys like Henderson and Milner be one of the main guys in a team and still win stuff, you've done something right. That is something Pep couldn't ever do (taking nothing way from his success).

Pool are a class team. The front 3 are probably the best in Europe.
Crazy how that front 3 don't ever get Injured
Mane, by far the most underrated player in world football. Best winger/wide forward in the world for me

Smells a bit desperate to compare the two for what should be obvious reasons.

Yeah fair play to them. On paper their midfield shouldn’t be as effective as it is, but testament to Klopp he’s got them working perfectly. Kind of now swaying to hoping they win the title over city. Otherwise Feel it’ll get boring with city always winning. As a club they’ve been managed very well over last few years, it wasn’t long ago they were the laughing stock.
Hopefully it’s a model arsenal end up following. They got the right manager, cashed in on players at the right time, and replaced them with players that fit their system very well.
