Nope. City and Pool yesterday are just that good. People were saying Norwich were awful defensively yesterday. They will be saying that about a ton of teams this season. Reality is that the top two are miles ahead of the rest. Klopp and Guardiola are today's Ferguson and Wenger. We think the league is ultra competitive but it's not. The league has a funny way of becoming tougher, the shitter you become.
Perhaps you're right, but, in all likelihood both Norwich and West Ham will be in the bottom third of the League for goals conceded this season. They're both highly susceptable to gettting ripped open by strong attacks.
So when I say West Ham are dire defensively, I am right. When other people say Norwich were awful defensively (I didn't watch the game), they're probably right.
How good City and Liverpool attack generally has nothing to do with the point being made. If Norwich or West Ham were defensively good, or even decent, outside of games against those two clubs you would have a point, but they aren't and won't be. It is accurate to say they are dire defensively.
