I'm confused by this post. You say you can't win the PL by being a transition team, but the best transition team of the last few years was Liverpool, who won the PL and CL (and probably have won more but for the ludicrous standards set by Pep).
Another lie that has been thrown around here for some time.
Liverpool while winning the league (2019-2020) had an average of 62.9% possession. say 63%. City had 66%.
Never have we as United achieved over 58% average possession in the last 10 years. Confirm it, (probably 58-57%)
In that same season, Liverpool completed 21,276 passes. We completed 17,744 passes. That's a difference of 3,500 passes completed.
With an average of 500 passes a game, that spread is like 7 games passes more, to put it into perspective.
Compared to last season (ETH first season). We completed 16,603 passes.
So
2019-2020 - Liverpool 21,276 passes. 99 points.
2021 - 2022 - Liverpool 21,163 passes. 92 points.
2018-2019 - Liverpool 21,146 passes. 97 points.
Manchester United have never had more than 18,880 passes since Fbref started putting up their numbers. Man United average have been 16,000-17,000.
This will show you in black and white, Liverpool at the peak of it's powers were very much controlled, pinned teams behind but also had quick firepower to hit you on counter. But they did not play a transition game at all.
United is a transition team.
Never have we be top 3 in average possession after 38 games since Ferguson retired. Never have we had a title race since Ferguson retired. You see a pattern.
Its extremely impossible to win the league without being top 2 in average possession, and passes completed. There is data to back it up. We will try to sugar coat and find excuses but we will never win anything big while having 4-6th best possession and passes completed team.
