Could I point something out that raises my suspicion about you?

Yet again you've dropped a ridiculous post in and it is ridiculous but never follow them up with anything else. It's almost like you drop a bomb in and then sit back to watch the fallout.

Come on, tell us the truth, who do you really follow?

Your style of posting is very strange to say the least, it's always negative, like you're having a go everytime.

Its not really possible to get any further than we are right now, unless we find the next Xavi, Iniesta, Messi.

For example we are significantly worse team and squad than in 2017/18.

City have already peaked under Pep and most likely for the foreseaable future.

2018/19 was worse than 2017/18 in terms of actual performance level and 2020/21 was worse than 2018/19 in terms of performance level.

I can see where you are coming from with this post but I think performance level doesn’t tell the whole story.

I agree that the football we played in the Centurion season was the best under Pep. It was a joy to watch and it’s probably the best football I’ve even seen in the PL.

Yet on paper, that season wasn’t as successful as 2018/19 and 2020/21. We won more trophies or went further in competitions in both of these seasons. We also showed a resilience to deal with injuries in these seasons as well.

I think we are three players away from being able to compete (performance wise) with the 2017/18 season. We need a striker, winger and LB.

I really loved the Centurion season. Absolute top quality football

He said it's not possible to go further, that is simply rubbish.

Domestically we are only just starting to dominate but even there can improve, our FA Cup wins for example is poor.

Lets become the first team ever to win the title five years on the bounce, set new records.

In terms of Europe , we have a lot to improve on, the journey has only just begun.

First we have to win the Champions League and then go on to dominate the competition for years.

We had some fabulous players in that squad but disagree that we are now significantly worse, yes they were centurions, breaking all records but did that team get to the champs league final? Was that team fighting for the quadruple right to the end ? Did that team win the league, mostly playing without a recognized striker ?

Something I don't believe has been mentioned or discussed

Imagine how many goals we would score from Ederson long ball passes to Haaland. Haaland so fast, direct, muscular, powerful and excellent 1 on 1 finisher would be a very simple but effective power move.
This tactic would not only scare the life out of opposition, lead to many more goals but also allow our team to be more dominant playing out from the back.

As a conservative estimate this would lead to over 10 goals a season. When you factor the additional goals from set pieces and his word class striking it's frankly incredible

Could you imagine Eric Garcia at Barcelona champions league final trying to defend against this monster 1 on 1 exposed after long ball from Ederson

Hope the club have thought about this and factored it into the forward comparisons and numerations

If we land this monster I can see nothing but medals, success, accolades and dominance for many many years, a European Dynasty!

Don't think we need to spend 150m to find someone for Ederson to hit on long balls.

As for "Could you imagine Eric Garcia at Barcelona champions league final". What planet you on fella?
