The Manchester City Thread.

If he can fix the defence and CM in the summer and keep Gundogan/Kompany fit next season they'll be pretty scary next season I think. Those few matches when they went Sterling Sane and Jesus up front they looked amazing then you also have Aguero to throw in the mix who guarantees goals. Key summer for City really recruitment wise will be interesting to see what they do and who they bring in

And if he can stop tinkering. Their CM was dreadful last night because it was basically just Fernandinho. Despite KdB playing well in a deeper role for most of the season, he was moved up in this game and it left them too stacked at the top with no transition and no shield for the defence. Moved him back in the second half and suddenly they seemed to have more of a grip on the game.

I like Pep and his experimentations, but he reminds me so much of Heston Blumenthal. When it works, you get this and he's a genius but often he'll overcomplicate and miss the intrinsic value of things, just for that quest to always be better.

I gotta say, the managerial situation in both Manchester clubs is some seriously weird ****. United would have much better fit in Guardiola, and City would have much better fit in Mourinho. Instead both clubs are gonna end up spending probably north for 300-400 million for a full rebuild tuned to the needs of each manager.

Yeah I checked after I posted it. Apologies! But netherless it's pretty bad. Genuine question is Pep a great tactician? I never see his side adapt or change the way they play during games/situations.

Best tactician on earth.

Its was ever gonna be this season, the best cb is injured and prob done. Both fullbacks were already done, He has a new keeper (ish, Bravo is gash) and is constantly changing from a 3 to a 4, as well as the personnel game to game.

The defence has really only had Stones added to it, and is in constant flux game to game.

I'm just here for the Juego de Position jokes.

I'm loving these tbh.

Kylian Mbappé. What a player.

The temptation to spoil it is so high I can't resist. Bakoyoko heads in a free kick to secure Monaco a 3-1 win

Yeah not bad. The defences and quality in the final 3rd is a bit meh.

Of all the penalty claims this game, I would say that was the least of all of them.

How Liverpool havent punished them further I dont know. Can running past Toure there, looks lke he can hardly believe it, didnt know what to do with it.

 

[Theatre of dreams]

1-1 good finish. Pool should have done better there. And took advantage when on top.

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Lallana ))))))))

 

[iamauser]

Wow. How did Aguero or Lallana not score! Unreal

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Some rediculous misses this game!
