What are your unpopular opinions on City that you believe 100%?

[citymad]

- We wouldn't have won the champions league against Chelsea whatever team pep put out.

Why ? Do you know something we don't ?

If Kyle Walker wasn’t as fast as he is, he’d be utter dogshit.

 

[mccity]

Tactically speaking no player is more individually important to City than Kyle Walker.

The big myth at the heart of this is the idea that the 2012 team was as good as this side.

The reality is that they'd get absolutely smashed by this side or any Pep side since 2017.

Fair comment. Of the 2012 squad, only Yaya, Sergio, Edin Dzeko and Spanish Dave would improve the current squad imo.

However, I do wonder if our current side would have overcome the physical / psychological barrier that City faced around 2012. Players and coaches... We had the right people in place at the right time.

The first title is always the hardest.

My Mrs doesn't really love me and never really has - she only had a child with me due to worrying about the biological clock.

*Oh sorry you meant about City

The duality of man.

I would disagree but there wasn't a button for it.

Is ridiculous for ridiculously good or ridiculously bad?

Peps a weirdo. And when he goes we'll be shite for a bit.

My biggest gripe is that for some reason a lot of Blue Mooners do not like Ake.The lad rarely lets us down and I think its the fact that he came from an unfashionable club.
Great pro and according to Pep he`s one of the most liked players by his peers.
Shame as I do genuinely like the lad as a player and as an individual and comes over very well in interviews.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Some of my "unpopular" opinions amongst other fellow City fans:

- Laporte and Stones are both more talented CBs than Dias.
- Gundo is our best midfielder
- Sterling is our best attacking player
- Yaya was the most influential signing we've made since the takeover.

What are some of your guys' unpopular opinions?

Laporte and Stones are more technically gifted but lack the leadership and composure to be as good as Dias.

I know Stephen Ireland was crap elsewhere but at City I still believe he would have been great had he been kept.

It still sickens me more than any other player to go.

Pellegrini's first season was more exciting than any of Pep's seasons. Not to say we played better football, just the football on display was more exciting.

I went back and watched the season review recently. We were absolutely atrocious away from home for large parts of the season. That Pellegrini season is remembered as ‘exciting’ because of a handful of big home wins against the top sides. Centurion season shits all over that season from an entertainment standpoint.

Improved when Garcia replaced Fernandinho as the 6.

The Etihad is not fit for purpose and the owners are short changing us by not giving us a state of the art stadium like Spurs

The owners don't give a fuck about the fans, per the numerous ticket fiascos and mistreatment of supporters.

The club has been poorly run to draw so many controversies and legal battles, let alone our inability to get the Dippers dealt with on a legal basis and PGMOL in line.

Sterling has cost us 2 CLs (Lyon and Chelsea)

Gundogan, Rodri and Bernardo should be our first choice midfield.

Our women's team should be undisputedly the best team in English football and it's a complete failure, given the developmental nature of the game, that we haven't annihilated the game with our resources and become the Liverpool/Rags in stature in the Women's game to bring on board the next generation of female fans.

The academy stadium is rubbish and too cold.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Winning promotion is a lot more exciting than winning the Premier League.

Signing players who you have no idea whether they were good or not is a lot more interesting than buying players for £60m+

 

[Iamthemusicman]

As soon as we win the CL people will stop claiming they don't care about it.
City fans are far too concerned about what other fans and the media think about us.
Most of our songs are shit.

Peps a weirdo.

I love the guy, but he's such a weird nerd. If it was anything other than football he was that smart and nerdy about people would be stealing his lunch money.

Baby Ruud is improving under the radar. For me that's a good thing.

Pep could well make him captain when he leaves us to take over the dutch national side...
