medio-city :coffee:
Bielsa murderball is da shizznit. They tried to screen out Calvin but then Leeds had the threat on the sides. Still think Dallas could be upgraded. He gave it his all though and was cramping bad at the end.
Awesome game by Chelsea btw... Werner was actually the week link. Not most effective vs Park the Bus
we will activate his buy-back clause when everton win the leagueQuote:

Our fans always said: we stopped running and playing well after Pep.
Yet, the same is happening with City UNDER Pep.
My point: Pep or no Pep, every tactics gets figured out after 3-4 years and then you become crap.
I have a feeling that if Pep stays in City for 5 more years, they wouldn't win a single EPL anymore.
In fact, they would sink lower and lower in each new season.
Also, Pep is paying the price for playing shitty playmaking attackers instead of buying true scorers.
But he doesn't want to give up from some possession and link up, lol.
What is worse, City's choir boys will now lose confidence.
And yet, their opponents will be more and more confident because teams have figured them out.
I really don't see how can Pep turn this downhill situation around.
You keep repeating 'tactics get worked out' and completely ignore City and Pep keep trying different approaches.Quote:

A lot of the stuff you come out with just comes across of never really watching them but speaking in cliches to rant about what has gone wrong.
And to think they have spent 1b+ to build this team. KDB is the only player that I would want at Barca. Maybe Sterling.
every club fleeces city because of the oil money they haveQuote:

I wouldn't write off City , Pep will get a Chequebook before the Window shuts down
I watched the last few matches from City.Quote:

Playing through the ground.
Passing around the box a lot.
The only new thing are some crosses (to midget attackers, lol) and a lot of low crosses.
And his defenders are lately taller, faster and more athletic.
But deep down, this is more or less 80-90% the classic same old Pep's football.
A taller no9? No
Some long balls from Cbs? No
Trying to bypass midfield here and there to avoid risks around the box? Never
Long range attempts from outside of a box? Almost never, Pep doesn't like risky attempts.
What on Earth is new in his game compared to the last 10 years except those low crosses and stupid crosses to midget strikers?
Tactics are quite similar to a classical Pep.
Player's skillsets are similar to Pep's Barca.
Players personalities are similar to Pep's Barca (nice choirboys).
Physically weak-but mobile players: weak Foden, weak Bernardo, weak Sterling.
Leeds vs City again looked like teen boys vs men in terms of physique.
All in all, I don't see as much changes and evolving in Pep's team as you do.
Difficult to say, Barca on normal level would have won the title imo.Quote:

It's not a match without at least one these guys looking like clowns and gifting the opponents easy goals. :lol:.
city one of the best defensive sides in europe? ...you can't be serious....Quote:

Those insufferable bastds Liverpool are gonna win the Prem again and we'll never gonna hear the end of how the universe revolves around them.. In form Everton vs Liverpool is certainly a match to look forward to.
Well Liverpool's transfers have generally been excellent whereas City's has been absolutely atrocious.
City have spent like what, 130m? on Ake and Diaz this summer. Like who are these players lollll!
This sort of ridiculousness is only rivalled by Real Madrid spending like 120m on those two bums Vinicius and Rodrygo lmao.
RM have spent much also on another bum - Eden (Injuring) Hazard.:lol:
Record breaking front six 17/18.
De Bruyne - Fernandinho - Silva
Sterling - Aguero - Sane
Pep signed ONE of them.
Funny that EPL this season.
Leicester after winning 5:2 at City last gameweek now (so far) without a chance against West Ham at home.
This is why Liverpool are big favorites, with City fumbling about, do they really have a credible challenger?Quote:
