Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

[hhyftrftdr]

Pleasing to see Nacho signing a contract extension. Pep seems eager to work with him, that can only be a good thing. Fast forward to 2019 when Aguero moves back to Argentina (sadly he's stated this numerous times), our forward line should read Nacho, Sterling, Sane and Jesus (not seen the action but he had a storming game for Brazil last night apparently). These 4 will all be in the 22-25 bracket and a great age to help take the club forward.

It will be a very grim day when Aguero goes home, but good to see the club putting in the framework for life without him even at this early stage.

Joey Barton lol such a turnip.

Bold position on Sterling in 2019 - He might be a rotation option at Palace by then!

Haha I'd like to see what add ons Palace would offer us

Early doors but if anyone can get the best out of him, it's Pep. He's been excellent in these 2 games so far, looks a different player, playing with confidence instead of looking like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Tough test tomorrow at the midland inbreds though, shockingly the forecast is for wind. We can't play worse than we did at the Britannia last season, that's for sure. Will be happy with a point and to get this game out the way nice and early.

Paul Merson advising Pep on how to play football. Cheers Merse, try not to drink drive again yeah?

Nice one, hope you can snag one outside the ground.

If you decide to go in the home end, make sure you grow an extra finger first otherwise you'll be lit up like a Christmas tree.

In with the blues behind Willy

In with the blues behind Willy

Good stuff, enjoy!

Was in the Stoke end for the 2011 FA Cup final, most surreal 90 mins of my life! Not recommended

Just the local for me tomorrow, should get at least a dozen other blues in there too. Hope the boys can keep up this football we are playing.

Very impressed so far with what Pep seems to be doing.

Of all the new Managers & line ups this season, Pep seems to be a point of difference.  There's a real possibility they might just crush this season.

Pep's tactics are fascinating but WillyC does not convince me as I suspect he has a howler in him.

The team selection today is interesting .

With Willy C in the net the only outfield change from last season is Stones , most of the others were regulars and yet Pep has got them at it,  playing a high line game and pressing hard when not in possession.

Still to be convinced with some of the players  like Otamendi ,Kolarov, Navas but especially Sterling  who shows the odd moments of brilliance but seems like the sort of player that constantly needs kicking up the arse to perform.

Be interesting to see how they perform against bigger teams and if their head drops when/if they go behind.

Good Start so far though , Man City fans must be encouraged.

Stones different Gravy, Willy needs his feet sorting out. 10 minutes at the end, “We got Guardiola" was immense. Obv passed the blue Army to the Tunnel and he lapped it up like a boss.

Great result and performance today.

As Fraser touched on, it was essentially the same personal as last season, when we were turned over spectacularly. Amazing what a change of manager can do. Every player putting in a shift, Pep accepts no passengers and this is why we'll probably never see Toure, Nasri and maybe Hart in a City shirt again. Sterling, Kolarov look like new signings.

Very exciting times lie ahead, I feel there is so much more this team can give, and we still have Kompany, Sane and Gundogan to come in when fit.

[hhyftrftdr]

Oh, and I thought our penalty was soft, but Stokes was beyond a joke. Simply laughable.

[cambridgealex]

Is Silva's place in the team under threat from Nolito do you think? Or is Navas first to go should Nolito lock up a regular starting place? Silva has struggled to get involved from what I've seen of the first few games. Have only half watched games admittedly though. 

[TightEnd]

enjoying what Pep seems to be bringing out of Sterling so quickly, i must say
