Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

[hhyftrftdr]

In my ridiculously biased opinion, I right enjoyed that. Great to see Gundogan in the mix and he looks every inch the player I hoped he would be. Aguero again demonstrating why he's the best striker in England by a mile. Some excellent passing from Bravo but he also made a smart save when called upon.

Fantastic stuff yet again. It's fun when you have a master tactician in charge

Seems fair....

No Aguero, Silva or Kompany and a starting line-up today including:
•   The worst PL goalkeeper since Massimo Taibi some 15 years ago.
•   A back 4 featuring Clichy, Sagna, Kolorav and Otamendi – all, possibly Sagna aside, considered past it or not good enough.
•   The most reviled English international in recent memory
•   Some 19 year old kid of a striker with only c1300 senior minutes to his name.

Then finishing the match with 5 players 22 years old or younger ( 19, 19, 20, 21, 22).

Yet still playing scintillating football. Mesmerising at times. The quality in large parts of the last 4 games is reaching dreamland heights. Such a privilege and a joy to watch it every week and total excitement about where it will end up.

Simply, Guardiola is a genius.

Paddy Power will doubtless be paying out on the league title bets tomorrow.

Mind you the last time they did that it turned out to be a massive bok, one can only hope...

You was playing Bournemouth not Barcelona.

So that negates the bullet points? Or the free flowing football that we are producing? We weren't playing Bournemouth midweek, nor last weekend.

Sadly had to work today so missed this afternoons football feast. Currently awaiting the highlights on MOTD...

First sentence is the crux for me, and I think you can also chuck Hart and Toure into the mix; the 3 above plus those 2 have been mainstays of our starting XI for the last 5 years, and if even one of them were missing then it would be panic stations in the build up to a game, that would often spill over into the match itself.

It really highlights just how well we bought this summer, coupled with Pep raising the game of squad players like Kolarov and Otamendi. It doesn't matter that Vinny isn't ready yet cos we have Kolarov to fill in. Silva missing today? That's fine, Gundogan can slot in. Nolito to be banned for 3 games, no bother cos Sane can do the business.

It's amazing what a single transfer window and a change in manager can produce; we don't look like an ageing, slightly unfit, underperforming squad anymore, now we look like a vibrant, flexible, youthful and skilful unit, with every player pulling their weight.

I've previously had man crushes on Silva, Zabaleta and Aguero, but there is a very good chance I fall in love with Gundogan. The little videos he puts out melt my heart, and Tikay will testify not much melts my heart

Can you quote me on where I say it negates the bullet points or talk about free flowing football? Thanks

What a transformation Mr Pep has wrought.

They might just win this in a canter.

Send him up to Toon, so he can sort Barthez's mob out.

There was a clear suggestion that what Archer wrote lacked credibility or foundation due to the opposition, anyone capable of reading can see that.

Congrats to our U18s as well today, beating their united counterparts.

Ruining football since 2008 and long may it continue.
