Controversial City opinions

[jamielowndes]

Cancelo will return to City in the absence of any serious bids this summer, rehabilitate himself and go on to win back the hearts and minds of the fans.

Well the OP did ask for controversy!

I genuinely hope he does.

This statues carry on is getting ridiculous.In fact it got ridiculous the minute YaYa did not get one.
It has to stop.

Up until now, Foden has been far more effective out wide than in the middle and Pep has been right not to play him there

In a perfect world Pep would have preferred to win the Treble playing a false nine instead of with an out and out striker.

”We’ve got incoming“.

Dias didn't know anything about the clearance in the CL final. It just hit him and fortunately went wide.

Boy, that is controversial! I disagree incidentally. 99 times out of a 100, the ball would have simply bounced off the defender's head for an embarrassing (albeit perfectly understandable) own goal. The fact that Dias managed to direct it round the post tells me that fate was only avoided by way of a superlative piece of defensive brilliance. Perhaps I'm just showing bias towards Dias (see what I did there?).

Yaya was more upset he didn't receive a cake!

Surprised at how many of these controversial takes I am agreeing with.

I want a full terracotta army of City legends round Beswick personally.

Anyway on topic, Kolarov wasn't fit to lace Clichy's boots at left back.

Uwe Rosler left City two divisions lower than when he joined, but is stupidly remembered as a hero.

Deep breath. Gundogan isn't as good as he's made out.

I love him and he's obviously been immense when it's mattered over the last couple of seasons, but to talk about him in the same breath as Modric, Xavi and Pirlo, as Philip Lahm did in The Guardian recently, is revisionist and romantic.

(To be fair, Lahm knows a lot more about football than me, so this is probably bollocks.)
