Controversial City opinions

[bennyboy]

Any other manager other than Pep could not have fixed so soon after Pelligrini.
Lovely man but nowhere good enough for us at the time.

 

[Shuffs]

Colin Bell wasn’t all that. Just ran around a lot.

Woah.

There's having controversial opinions and There's starting riots!!!!!

;-)

my point is they have higher potential ability especially if they stay with City and Pep tutelage

Key word here is "potential", potential doesn't win you titles now, Gundogan a d Silva did

Aguero was overrated, Jo was a more natural goalscorer.....

Playing in the middle field, I really expect Foden to have higher ceil than Gundogan. Not only that, I hope it's true in just the next 1 or 2 years (yeah, that's the stretch goal, but we are with Pep who pushes players to their new height, so why not aim big).

For Alvarez, I'm not sure, he's more like an attacker, maybe number 9, or 9.5, or 10. But Bernardo is more like number 7, 8, 11, 6, 5 or whatever, but maybe not so much about 9 or 9.5. I mean Alvarez is much better at scoring goals, but Bernardo is better at many other things, their role is not really the same, so it's hard to compare.
Anyway, I'd be happy even if I'm wrong and you're right about Alvarez and Bernardo.

For Foden, I do hope we are both right :D

The thing that worries me about Phil is when he gets a kick early in a game he seems to struggle for the rest of it. Don't know if it was just linked to the foot injury he was carrying last season but teams have started to get wise to it. The opposition full backs have all started leaving nasty ones in on him early in games and of course the referees don't book them until they make 5 fouls.

I've seen he's training with Rashford, while this would normally make my fucking toes curl whoever he worked with last Summer definitely got him in supreme condition so hopefully Phil comes into next season firing on all cylinders and with a bit more bulk.

I disagree, I loved Pellegrini and we played the best football I’ve seen under him in his first season. Pep spent over a billion where Pelle got Bony, Fernando and Mangala so it’s hard to compare

Signings he made himself ?
His last two seasons his teams went backwards results wise big time.
He got us to a Champions League semi final where over the two legs we hardly laid a finger on Madrid.
He was lucky that Pep gave them a time when he was starting because it gave him another season in the job that he did not deserve.
The Mancini team in the first 5 to 6 months of 2011/12 played better football as well.

I’m glad that they ran out of chips.

i didn’t see much of the Mancini team tbh. Pep gave them a time when he was starting because he wanted clarity FFP had been beaten so he could spend £1b+. At least Pellegrini took the challenge of a restricted budget because Pep ran away from
It for 4 years Lol

People may have looked at Peter Swales differently if we’d won one more game in the league in 1977 and one more in the FA Cup in 1981 (maybe not an opinion, more a question)

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Aguero without injuries would break every PL scoring record.
