If they have an easy stretch of games doesn't that mean they'll have a very tough one at some point?
I wouldn't say we are complaining. It's not like there is a conspiracy. But it's completely fair to say City has an easier run in. This is instant analysis of the schedule.
And the same people are complaining about LFC fans complaining are the same people that are going to accuse them of bottling it if it doesn't work out.
You guys are already *****ing about the fixtures and how they give City the league hours after they're released.
It's unbelievable.
I stand by it. If the league isn't blown away early, it is likely to come to that part of the season. Look at last season. I think it's pretty naive to underestimate the importance of that. Sure there are other factors but that is the biggest one. City getting 18 points from their final 6 games is an incredible boost. Those points matter"Gives the league to Man City with that run in. Dear lord"
"Yeah it's pretty criminal"
Totally normal analysis is as follows:
We don't know the full schedule yet. We have the league. We don't where each team will be placed in the CL, travel wise or difficulty of group, or how far they'll progress. We don't know who they'll draw domestically, or if they'll even care.
There's so much more that goes into a league challenge that when you play who. Who is injured when you play. Are there cup comp fixtures squeezed between top 6 matches. etc etc.
Didnt say the schedule was easy. Said their run in is easy. Are you saying it is not easy?Easy schedule and teams let them win! What’s the point of playing the season out.
No what you said was they gave them the league with that run in. Which is beyond ludicrous considering that EVERY TEAM PLAYS EVERY OTHER TEAM TWICE. SO ALL TEAM HAVE THE SAME COMPETITION.Didnt say the schedule was easy. Said their run in is easy. Are you saying it is not easy?
It 100% matters when you play the teams. If managers could pick one section of their season to be easiest it would be the run in. Without a doubt. Not touching the relegation teams theory.No what you said was they gave them the league with that run in. Which is beyond ludicrous considering that EVERY TEAM PLAYS EVERY OTHER TEAM TWICE.

Also there is the theory that playing relegation teams early on with a clean slate is harder than playing them midseason. No one gave the league to anyone and you still play 30 odd game, we'll see what happens. NEXT.

Oh it matters but we haven't even kicked off and you have conceded defeat think about that for a second. Does it really matter that much the first few game of the season? Chelsea under Conte were horrible to start the season and went on to win the league. At the end of the day you have 30+ games play against the same teams.It 100% matters when you play the teams.

Especially the trips to Anfield.You guys talking about the Premiership? Only easy runs in that league.

It is easy. But as Evilo said, if the run in is that easy then it means they have a really tough stretch at some point. I mean everyone plays the same teams twice, having an easy run in only matters if you guys play poorly throughout the season and have to play catch up at the end of the season.
Liverpool play at the Etihad on April 4th, and then City have their 6 game cake walk to close the season . How many points do you think Liverpool have to be up on City on April 5th to have a chance at the league? With City having 18 points in the bag to close out the season?Oh it matters but we haven't even kicked off and you have conceded defeat think about that for a second.

That's why it timing of the schedule matters. Managers try to budget points out too, so this is a legitimate question.
I'm confused not only by what you are trying to say in this post, but also trying to figure out who 'all the people' are bitching about Liverpool's schedule.All the people *****ing about Liverpool’s schedule
Maybe don’t draw so many matches but next year and the fixture order won’t be an issue
