Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

Pep Guardiola says he is using the same style he employed at Barcelona to achieve Premier League success with Manchester City. We look at how his teams compare - including their similar possession stats: http://skysports.tv/UYXa9E

Since I swopped David Silva for Sterling in my FPL team the former has immediately scored three games in a row with the latter drawing blanks.

Serious bokking skillz.

At least Sterling assisted the 3rd.....scored by Silva

Nice link.

The bald fraud doing well

Well that was a 382 Mile round trip but we'll take the result and an amazing performance by David Silva, he has to be simply the best. We even made Ian cheeseman's Vlog. Leicester away so a nice 6 mile round trip next Wednesday.
Ctid.

Ha I saw that vlog earlier - nice one
Liked Jonathan Pierce on it as well in super gush mode.

Agree that David Silva fella is quite good 

Can't get my head round 15 league wins on the bounce. Surreal.

Think spurs will give us a game on Saturday Archer but hey it's City so expect the unexpected. Ctid

Only seen extended highlights from last night, but it once again looked like one way traffic (and the game stats suggest this heavily too).

Very smart stop from Ederson towards the end from that deflected shot, good to see the team equally determined to keep a clean sheet as much as netting at the other end. He looks an absolute snip and literally the dream keeper for Pep.

People love to crow about the money spent, but just look at what Pep has done with Stones, Sterling, Delph, Fernandinho, Otamendi, even D.Silva and KDB. He's getting an extra level or 2 out of the already good to excellent players we had at the club. We are very lucky indeed to have a manager like him.

Onwards to Saturday and the Harry Kane team, probably one of the trickier games on our schedule and not a team we have a great recent track record against. Hoping for 16 and a few more goals too.

Indeed.  Pep does seem to get the best out of players.  Everyone seems happy and knows their role and of course great to watch.  Would never happen but would be fascinating to see what pep could do with a mid table team with a couple of key purchases.  He has skills that are simply out of grasp for someone like Mourinho.

I'd also be interested to see what Pep could do with Arsenal.

Man City's 15 league wins in a row: the best run in ANY division in English league football since 1888. Now closing in on the records in Europe's 'Big' leagues, all-time, two of those also held by Pep Guardiola.

Interesting though that all of the records are from this century. A sign of the importance of financial power.

Why David Silva is tactically Man City's most important player

For those unfamiliar with Manchester City, here's a brief history.

Formed in 2008.

That's essentially it. As good as they are it's hard to really be bothered by them.

I thought some of you may enjoy this mischievous bump from all those years ago. In 2015.

Anoth bump and one of my favourite posts on this thread:

I find it all quite weird really. He's been at Barca and Bayern, I still could never see him at Man City because in my eyes Man City are still a nothing club, compared to the real giants of Europe. The Bayern's, Barca's, Madrid's, Arsenal & co. It's obviously just a money thing, which I never thought he was.

Disappointing on MP though. He looks to me a really good fit for United, but obviously that would never happen with his links to the blue half of the City.

I miss Aaron
