We've been much better recently and until Spurs we had the most points in the premiership this calendar year. We are also now playing (although we didn't against Spurs) a proper 4-3-3 - pressing high and possession football. We have been playing a 19 year old kid on the left of the front three...

I've been saying it for a couple of seasons but it's a shame no one has tried him as a 10. At least on the left he is getting the opportunity to drift into the center.

They've been really poor and the whole team looks old and slow. A big re-building job for whoever is tasked to do it. Expensive too. I wonder if the wisest thing may be to cash in on Messi.

The way the deal is worded that's impossible. I actually thought he had a poor game against Lazio but the Milan team is pretty poor in general.

Someone had a theory that Martinez blamed Geri for the Man City Cup Semi final defeat because instead of holding on to the ball he gave it away cheaply and it lead to a goal when we were ahead in the tie. I'm not sure about that but he practically maybe even literally (I can't quite remember)...

I have to admit I'm a bit pissed about this. At times for us he was our only creative outlet and was supplying Lukaku with assists every game and then he was dropped and never got back into the team. All very strange. On the plus side it gives me a reason to watch some Italian football.

They should sue him for 40m. He's basically in breach of contract.

He wasn't even in the squad yesterday so it's probably true. Was mentioned on TV too.

It started off really well. He was injured for the first few games but when he came in he was providing assists every game and was 2nd behind Ozil in assists around this time last year however we kept losing ridiculous games where we were by far the better team. For me the reason was obvious...

He hasn't played great when he has come on as sub (no goals or assists) but it's been in games we have been losing and in fairness it normally coincided with an improvement in our overall team performance. However we have been awful this season. No attacking play whatsoever and we are probably...

Yea. Koeman hasn't given him a chance. He barely played him on the wing and he only really got games as a lone striker due to Lukaku missing pre-season. Then he was just used to press due to his pace. Probably our best player 3 games ago in his first start on the wing even though it's clear he's...

Come on. It just shows the EPL is tough and they are 4th. The same pos they finished last season. It's obvious he's still experimenting and needs time.

How were they lucky? They had the group wrapped up before anyone else although it was a simple group. The problem with Leicester is no Kante and Mahrez and Vardy are keeping themselves for champions league games.

His touch isn't good enough for Barca even if it's a lot better now but he would score plenty of goals. In Barca's team he would probably hit 30-50 a season if that makes a difference.

The game against City a team that presses just showed how important especially Xavi was. Iniesta as well and when he and Pique are back things will be obviously better but Xavi was the man that allowed Barca to control games on the half way line rather than the edge of their own box. A defender...

I thought Sterling was the best player on the pitch besides Messi. Pep has done wonders with him.

Until Bravo got sent off City had more shots and more on target including by far the best chances. I think it's the first time in ages a team has gone toe to toe with Barca and at worst been equal at the Nou Camp. That said Barca have Messi.

He was having a decent game up to when he missed the header. It's seems he has a fragile mindset. At Everton when things went wrong they just went from bad to worse until he was withdrawn. Luckily for him City don't need to do nearly as much defending so he will probably be able to play...

He did ok today but it was a difficult day for our attackers. In general his season hasn't really got going. Can't see Barca activating the buyback any time soon.

Reminds me of Deulofeu. What's in the La Masia water. I thought Barca taught their kids to be team players.
