Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

[Tal]

Quite the challenge for pep to persuade pogba and busquets to come for the Europa league. Bizarre season.

Well no, not really, bearing in mind both will love their new contracts have talked about their admiration for Pep and desire to play under him again/for the first time. A season in the Europa League won't change this.

That is assuming we don't make the top 4, of which we still occupy a place despite 3 league defeats in a row.

FYP

After 170 minutes of Premier League experience I don't think Rashford is quite ready yet for England

The Liverpool fans we encountered on Sunday really didn't shower themselves in glory. Sunderland fans from 2014 were head and shoulders above them, but I do concede there is a much bigger rivalry with the dippers than the Mackems.

Good point, and what Sanchez lacks above all at the moment is 1st touch, closely followed by 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th.

why would this be? its remarkable isn't it

i can't think of a reason why

Manchester City's record against the top 7 is, amazingly, as bad as Aston Villa's

It's actually worse than that  Tighty. The table doesn't include the loss against Liverpool during the week meaning it is Played 11  and W0 L8.....  add the 3 goals conceded at Liverpool and we would be bottom of that table on goal difference The flip side of course is we are top by a margin in a table against bottom half teams.

Flat track bullies? I don't think so - it is just one of the many oddities of this peculiar season. And, in many City supporters eyes, Pellegrini and his tactial rigidity and certain players not consistently playing at their top level. Blighted by injuries as well but an argument that is the clubs fault.

Some horror performances in those fixtures 2 x Liverpool, 1 x Stoke and the home game against your lot.

The 2 losses against Tottenham were heavily influenced by conceding 3 goals through appalling refereeing decisions.

Home loss against West Ham was just one of those games where we played really well in the 2nd half and completely battered them but couldn't pull it back.

Pleasing 2nd half yesterday. We looked a bit short of ideas for the first 45 mins, but as soon as Yaya tucked the ball away for the first then it was a case of how many more can we get. Annoyed Aguero missed the penalty, needed the points for my fantasy football team. Can see him shooting himself to the Golden Boot again, looks in good form and, more importantly, fitness. Saw TFT got on him at 3/1, very astute bet IMO.

Villa are a poor team. Seems a lifetime ago that they used to finish 6th regularly (was it 3 seasons in a row under MON?) Was good to see Lescott and Richards back at Eastlands, wonder if they will hang around for Championship football next season? I'm sure someone will come in for Richards, and I can't imagine Villa wanting to pay whatever it is that Lescott earns every week when not in the top flight.

Who knows, maybe they'll do a Leicester and turn it round (then win the title next year!), but they look beyond doomed as it stands.

Looking forward to the return of KDB, though Navas impressed yesterday, and Sterling looked dangerous when he came on, which is in complete contrast to the Liverpool midweek game. If he could just add a bit more consistency to his game....

Sigh, I'm a total fish at getting pictures up.
