I think the most interesting thing about them is that you'd struggle to say they have one standout player. De Bruyne has been brilliant the season but Silva and Sane have been incredible too. I don't get the argument because most/all big club managers spend money. Fegie was spending £20mill on the likes of Veron and Ferdinand 20 years ago. With inflation, nowadays I'm sure that equates to £50mill or whatever Pep has paid for players. Pep is a superb coach and has proved it over again, this Manchester City side is one of the best teams I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City games are boring for the neutral as they just tippy tap around in the opponents half until they score then repeat for the rest of the game. Even against the top sides there's rarely any end to end action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're superb to watch imo Agree they are superb for maybe 10/15% of each game when they spring into action and tear opposition to threads...However there are large periods of all their games that are incredibly boring as they go through their tiki taka football...Unfortunately it’s not just them ...It’s prevalent in most Top matches these days...from internationals, Champions League Premiership etc.....There’s been lots of talk everywhere about flat atmospheres at most Premier League matches now and it’s down to this style of football....As I don’t get to many games now I rely on watching matches on TV and have to be honest and say one of the most entertaining matches ( lets be honest we watch football for entertainment) was the old fashioned blood and thunder Old Firm game last Sunday......Low on overall quality but played at phenomenal pace with loads of passion and tough tackling but non stop excitement which helped keep the fantastic atmosphere throughout. Guess I’m Od School in my preferences.....It’s why I enjoyed our 2015/16 campaign so much compared to our current style . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the style, for me, which puts all those "anyone can manage this lot" argument to bed. The likes of Pulis, Moyes, Dyche etc couldn't get Man City playing at this level and with this amount of flair. Of course he benefits from huge resources but, given every defeat is a crisis or whatever, the pressure is on to deliver. I understand why some think the games are quite dull as they are so dominant but the goals last night were a joy to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're superb to watch imo Ditto. Sure, they slow the game down, knock the ball back and forth, back and forth, but then they'll just stick a sequence of quick passes together that'll have you thinking 'wtf' The speed with which they can go up a gear is amazing. Their movement is brilliant too, they've always got a pass on in some direction... if not two or three. I think it's a joy to watch even when they are tikka-takking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the fox Posted 13 March 2018 Share Posted 13 March 2018 (edited) People overhyping man city. they are not that impressive. some people acting like Pep invented passing. They just have more talent than anyone. They play some very good football but nowhere near teams like the 2008-2013 barca. Or not to look too far into the distance, napoli's playstyle in the first half of the season. It's frustrating watching teams just mesmerized by simple triangle pattern passes. I wish they get real madrid in the CL. Then people will see how big the difference actually is. Edited 13 March 2018 by the fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 13 March 2018 Share Posted 13 March 2018 I think watching Man City is boring, not because their football isn’t top quality but because in pretty much every game they play it is a no contest. The only ponderable is by how many they’ll win by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Guardiola will have s reasonable plan to deal with Real Madrid considering the team has barely changed since Guardiola has left La Liga.

the fox Posted 13 March 2018 Share Posted 13 March 2018 @Samilktray really? The PL is filled with fraudes! Everytime a manager gets a new style into the league, he wreaks havoc! Claudio in 2015-2016 and Conte in 2016-2017 are examples. The barca team from the 2008-2013 period would wipe the floor with this man city team and real madrid will do the same. People Think man city has a midfield that barca midfield will outclass them with ease. Pep built his legacy on the shoulders of messi, xavi, iniesta and busquets and since then he underachieved everytime in the CL. He needs a top 3 player in the world to win the CL and he will come up short once again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 13 March 2018 Share Posted 13 March 2018 Yeah Man City are immense. I find it weird to imagine that if we played the sort of football they do we'd have people on here moaning about how boring to watch it is. Not sure how true this is in reality but I've always felt there's an unusual amount of opposition to possession-based football amongst our fan base. With regards to the "yeah but they've spent loads", obviously they have but it's not as though they've gone out and just chucked money at world class players and stuck them in a team is it? People like Sterling, Jesus, Ederson, even De Bruyne were all pretty well regarded but not exactly proven world class talents. They identify promising, malleable and generally young players and they've got the money to bring them in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrid feasts on the possession based sides. They have a better midfield and attack than man city and when time comes, Pep will fail again without a game winner like messi.
