Do we need to strengthen, yes. Are some of our players coming to the twilight of their careers, yes. But rebuild isn't the word I'd use. Strengthening the squad definitely. A few extra players in key positions most certainly (especially someone who can play as the pivot when Rodri is...

Not even close, by far the best player in his respective position on the pitch today.

So it's finally happening Isco is signing in Jan - can I quote you on that? To the Isco thread

I heard from the Sheik himself (in a dream) that we were totally innocent but that they were going to punish us with reincarnating Alan Ball to take over from Pep. Sorry to bring the optimism down a peg or two, not saying its true but it's what the Sheik said.

Went with Doku, carried a threat all game great assist for Kev and great goal for himself. Thought Jack was also fantastic and his ability to take the ball and retain it in the middle under pressure is something we've been lacking.

Dream draw.

Only player to offer a threat went with Doku. Thought Ortega and Ake didn't let themselves down, but other than that....

Rumbled

Could get hammered, could win. Expect the worse hope for the best.

That's what he wants you to think, he really killed Keegan and replaced him with an imposter who had millions of pounds of surgery to look and speak like Keegan. Don't underestimate how devious Jim Potts can be, and besides Jim is just a cog in a larger evil machine whose sole purpose is to...

Rico, but slim pickings

It's a poor run of form, after 4 years of titles, injuries to key players both positionally and personality, over playing the non injured players, ageing players, some signings not yet being good enough, and indifferent form from existing players. In effect it's the perfect storm. However, we...

Bernie, showed a willingness to fight at least

It's not the first paper (or expert) to look stupid. And let's be clear I am not defending his views on City in any way shape or form. But outside of this forum, and Martin Samuel - where exactly are you expected to get information. Football is so polarised in the media hunt for clicks, balance...

Read some of Hough's stuff and that of the Centre for Corruption (David-Barrett and Barrington), as I have a professional interest in it. The issue I have with the Centre is that whilst they have a good and clear methodology (as good as you are going to get in the context of corruption) it...

Courtesy of Chat GPT Subject: Concern Regarding Bias in Coverage of Manchester City Dear BBC Sport, I am writing to express my disappointment with what appears to be a persistent bias in your coverage of Manchester City, particularly in comparison to the favorable treatment afforded to clubs...

That is him watching the room

For some reason the phrase 'oven ready' springs to mind. Remember when the changes needed were small and will be easy. Yet somehow its ending slightly more complicated than thought, who'd have known.

Not arguing we need a backup and I was surprised we let Lavia go as I thought he was looking good for that role. I think even with all the current injuries we are still better than average, but clearly not good enough for the title. But it's still early in the season and we are having a blip...
