In Yaya's time, City had a defence behind him and a forward line. We had a team capable of winning titles.There lies the main problem with City at present.
Folks discussing whether various players in absolutely key positions have been 'pretty good' or not.
If KDB, Vinny, Yaya, DS, Dinho, Sergio etc had been 'pretty good' we wouldn't have won many trophies.
Jorge Messi was spotted studying a menu.Can anyone tell me what was Tolmies "latest bombshell" on Friday? someone referred to it in the adblock thread in technical queries forum and i haven't been in the TF too much lately to know.
Liverpool are skint mate, nice tryBarcelona should have cashed in on Messi whilst they had the chance.
Like it or not, the well managed clubs in European football at the moment are Liverpool and Bayern Munich.
Well barcelona are not. Man Utd certainly are not. Italian football is a joke...see Juve. They want to add Suarez to Ronaldo. Inter have become an old folk's home. At home Liverpool boss the Premier League.Is that a joke

Probably concerns a 33 yr old forward who'd probably KO Bernardo. This is proving a distraction.Can anyone tell me what was Tolmies "latest bombshell" on Friday? someone referred to it in the adblock thread in technical queries forum and i haven't been in the TF too much lately to know.
Did he choose a toasted barm? seriously though does he think Messi' back on? or was it something else?Jorge Messi was spotted studying a menu.
Chip muffin.Did he choose a toasted barm?

We have a side now with some wonderful players but we also don't have a defence. That was the case when the season ended and everyone in football assumed we'd address it in the Summer.
Was he in Rochdale then?Chip muffin.

Rodri was playing in front of Fernandinho last season. Until City fix the central defence it will stress other parts of the team.I think Vinny, Yaya and David Silva would have only managed a 'pretty good' after their first seasons with City so i will wait and see how Rodri gets on.

All we needed to do was repair the central defence. The job is half done.
Are you on the wind up Marvin?Barcelona should have cashed in on Messi whilst they had the chance.

He must have dreamt about Ward's Bakers, Moston Lane, Harpurhey, sorry, 'Appa-ray'!Was he in Rochdale then?
I grew up in Burnage and Wythenshawe and it was a Chip barm, when i moved to Rockerdale it was suddenly a chip muffin.Teacake in Rochdale.
I'd say some of the players you mention started with 'pretty good' seasons before having great ones.
I don't get all this negativity regarding Rodri. He's a different type of player to Fernandinho so it's not his fault that defensively, as a team, we failed last season. Centre backs were a big issue but a failure to press more as a team was just as important.
Also, we lacked build up play, with Laporte being injured and others out of form. So I think there was more pressure on Rodri to get on the ball to get things moving.
In short too much was expected from him in a position that gets a hell of a lot of focus.
With a fit Laporte, and the likes of Ake and Koulibaly there will be less pressure on Rodri both in build up and defensively. Ahead of him we might have more vitality in the press with more game time for Foden and the addition of Torres.
I think Rodri will have a great season.
