There is no pleasing some people. When Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United were dominating the Premier League, English football was called predictable.
Going into this weekend's fixtures there was a top five of Arsenal, Leicester City, Manchester City, Tottenham and Crystal Palace. Now, the unpredictable Premier League is hailed as the worst in its 23-year history.
There are, of course, lies, damn lies and statistics and while Spain, unsurprisingly, has the most clubs in the later stages of the Champions League and Europa League — seven — England and Germany are one behind with six, ahead of Italy's five.
