Incredible that a club that aspires to be European Champions hasn't got 2 supporters on this forum. The mover and my good self - that's 2 (unless my maths is wrong) |

themover isn't a City fan. It's just another one of his fantasies. He just pretends to be one to aid his trolling of any thread to do with United.

If tackling is a fundamental skill of a defender why can't John Stones tackle?
Of course a well organised good defence rarely has to tackle. Pity City do not have one. |

1p, we have been over this what seems a hundred times. If Man City/Guardiola wanted a tackler they would not have bought John Stones. That doesn't mean he can't tackle it just means it's not what he's best at. What he is good at is possession and pass accuracy. Some stats season to date :
Chances created 2 Average pass accuracy 91% Average pass length 19 metres Average defensive actions 7 Average duels won 62% Total defensive errors 2 "Of course a well organised good defence rarely has to tackle" That is exactly what Guardiola is coaching, not tackling |

Gundogan out for "several months"
 |
|
By:
Gundogan gone off the boil in the last 6 weeks
Him out will mean more game time for Yaya |

"Of course a well organised good defence rarely has to tackle"
That is exactly what Guardiola is coaching, not tackling Really? The defence didn't look too organised against Leicester. Have you got any fancy figures on how often Stone's fellow defenders were caught out of position in that game? |
|
By:
Sorry I don't have those figures. Guardiola will have them though.

The 3-4-3 formation was the mistake against Leicester imho. Guardiola had only employed it once before (the 1-1 draw v Everton, which City dominated and should have won). He likes trying to match formations against the opposition, and needless to say it hasn't been paying off lately! Since October he's been playing with 3 at the back which, accepting that will take defenders time to adjust to, hasn't worked as yet...in fact City have not won a single match when they have played 3 at the back (6 matches)...hey presto back to 4 at that back against Watford and a clean sheet and a win! In Europe he's tended to go with a 4-1-4-1 (including the home win v Barcelona) but has rarely used it, as yet, in the league. City have won all their matches when they've played a 4-3-3 (including the win at United) but he's only played it 3 times. Please a 4-3-3 v Arsenal on Sunday!

The win at OT was down to a very poor decision by the Ref not to red card Bravo for his flying two footed challenge on Rooney. United would probably have gone on to win that game.
Funny that United are having a nightmare season but with a semi competent Ref that day we would be on the same points as City under their messiah. |

If I was a city fan (
 ) then one crumb of comfort from this current shambles is that Utd fans are still close to tears by the derby game from several months ago. |
|
By:
Who is close to tears? Oh I forgot...
 don't deal in reality. |
|
By:
Looks like it's the European formation v Arsenal - 4-1-4-1
 |
|
By:
Bravo, Kolarov, Zabaleta (c), Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Sterling, De Bruyne, Sané, Silva, Toure
|

By:
4-3-3

Will have to back City now. Fernando will need to have a good game.

Talk of City starting Jeses and Aguero together against Bournemouth on Monday. If that partnership works Bournemouth will need some new nets!

Jesus out till next season. That's a long time to hang around the Trafford Centre.

There can be no disputing that Pep was brought in to take last year's Champions League semifinalists to the next level.
Has this season been a success? What do City fans think of the FA cup now? Given they only lost 0-1 on aggregate to Real Madrid last season has the recruitment of Stones & Bravo been good for City's defence? |
|
By:
No, because not going to win the Champions League and unlikely to win the Premier League
Probably the same as always thought of the FA Cup Not for this season |
|
By:
3 things city don't have:
One's a European Cup, two's Kompany and three's a crowd. |

I guess all the trying to be funny photos are a defence mechanism. Why not get Pep to try them instead of Stones & Bravo?
Jose has won two out of the 5 pieces of silverware open to us this season and we might even pick up a 3rd. That is a spectacular result. Can't wait for next season. |

Wow this took some finding, thought the mods had deleted it.
So how happy are the Manchester City fans that their club won sweet FA this season while their neighbours won 3 pieces of silverware? |

By:
City play United On July 21st in Houston. Looking forward to that fixture.

Here's the banner Manchester United fans made when Liverpool won the League Cup, Charity Shield and UEFA Cup in 2001...how times change

It is a Mickey Mouse Treble compared to the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League but compared to the potless season Liverpool and City fans have endured it is a fantastic haul.

we won the FA Cup

By:
Ederson deal complete. Let's hope that sorts out the goalkeeping issues
|

By:
All these Sanchez rumours and City haven't even made a bid
|
|
By:
Why would Sanchez move to city when he apparently wants to win things?

more money, like Morata
