The greatest compliment I can pay Ortega is that the team still seemed relaxed in front of him throughout the game. In the past, if Ederson has been injured, the defence has seemed more nervous on the ball -- and there's been a sense that the deputy goalkeeper behind them has caused that...

Don't like to criticise him, and I must acknowledge his workload (he's looked absolutely knackered for weeks), but he's been giving the ball away much more often than usual Such a shame we haven't had suitable cover. What can you do?

Yeah, my thoughts. Use of the word "overweight" is dramatic as fk tbf. He was 1.5kg over his target weight. Not medically "overweight." All that being said, he had two years to strut his stuff, show Pep what he's got. It's not like he didn't have more chances after that. The fact he...

Good shout mate. Might well end up doing something like that!! But... does anyone know of a digitised version online? If it exists? Maybe I'll have to find a way to be the guy that eventually uploads it!

Hi blues, I had this season review on VHS back in the day and watched it many times over. It is still one of my favourite seasons as a City fan -- even competing with the Keegan promotion season. That squad of players really just resonated with the fans and vice versa, didn't they?! From the...

For me, Wanchope epitomised our "Typical City" identity really well. His moments of blindingly world class skill ... punctuating his otherwise clumsiness, but raw potential. I remember Paolo would often get the ball and just start running. It'd feel like he didn't know what he was doing, and...

I seem to remember the first 5 years of Agueros time here being littered with reports of him waiting for Madrid. The media insisted for years that the only reason he joined City was because he couldn't move directly from Athletico to Real due to the rivalry ... so he was using City as a stepping...

Which era is prime Aguero?! Not that his standard varied much during his time; but his style did vary, most potently under Pep... Aguero is probably my answer in any case, maybe due to nostalgia alone But the question still stands! Which era is prime Aguero?

I thought echeverri was the next Messi?!

Who is your team? When you said that Fluminense are your rivals, I thought you were a Flamengo supporter

Always seems to me that Phillips and rice, together, do the role that rodri does on his own. I was so surprised at rice going for the price he did, then. As well as city signing kalvin Tbf, it seems like rice is doing okay for the arse. But rodri level? Nah. And clearly Phillips looks like he...

Mpenza was low key decent Matias vuoso wasn't Arni arason? Anyone? Hatem trabelsi and his gloves with short sleeves Goodness me, what about weaver's comeback during that season n all?

Paul bosvelt got a bit of stick at the time, but I thought he was a solid, reliable midfielder. Gave us more stability when he was there, had a good, quiet, understated influence.

benjani @ old trafford! That was a good one Goater at ewood park, 2000

to be fair, Sterling's first year (or two?) at City were nothing special. It's hardly an original POV, but I think Grealish deserves the shadow of the doubt for his first season's showing... As for Saka? Clearly some potential there. But I agree with the posters who do not think he's up to the...
