The funny thing is, we had Klopp’s old #2 come to our place yesterday with a squad simply full of big strong athletic lads who had very limited football ability.

Is English Football reaching a tipping point?

2 swipes, one at Foden and one at Sané that missed, be nice to see the likes of Laporte, Mendy, Walker, Vinny making it very clear that those will be met with retribution.
it would be nice, but the real issue is the fair and proper use of yellow and red cards.

That's an issue City can't solve, a few bookings for 'tackles' like Mendy's yesterday and they'll think twice about kicking our players though. Nobody ever tried to do our lads when we had Barton, NDJ, Michael Ball etc in the side.it would be nice, but the real issue is the fair and proper use of yellow and red cards.

I agree with your first sentence, but I think it depends on the players you have available, and whilst we have managers like Warnock in the league it won't change enough, certainly not against us anyway.
I'm curious to see what Wolves do next weekend, will they risk having a go ?
Doubt it.
The thread's taken an odd turn in favour of a good old fashioned industrial approach.
The FA needs to address the issue of the apparent dearth of good English coaches. One of the lasting impressions from the City documentary is how Spanish the club is. Look at all the 'challengers' and they're pretty low on English staff too. The English guys really seem to be nodding heads in the background. The other big problem is the laughable English media. They keep missing key moments because they're still showing close ups of a player who's just hit Row Z with a shot. I listened to a BBC podcast featuring two footballers and a journalist. The footballers were praising City and David Silva but the journalist just thought there was something not right about it and it was all better before when it wasn't predictable. Worryingly for the country, the footballers sounded much more rational, balanced, intelligent and articulate than the 'journalist'.

No argument with that.the test will be in this seasons in european football and champions league by the english teams and manchester city to see if the dip is not just in the english game put on a wider scale, the style is nothing to new in football and better players can play any style and shine, its just self believing in the project that the manager has setup and his vision on what they are trying to achieve and the most important things is getting results and winning silverware
believe me football is not rocket science and to many so called great managers make the game harder than it should be and over do it instead of the basic stuff, make it simple and know your players and the rules and never cross the lines and dot's to try and make a masterpiece because it will be only you who can understand whats in your head
what i like about the good managers/teams over the years is the simple things they do they make it look so good and easy, but its just simple basic things that have others puzzled and that is the key to make them think and change what they are doing when facing you, the other teams work on there weakness and style when facing the best teams and i always find that a puzzle why work on something like defending and parking the bus when you lose anyway
just play your own game don't try and do something to stop the others you have worked hours and hours on your setup and know your roles in the team to a point you can do it in your sleep, so when facing the best team in the league the manager all of a sudden changes it and wants you to play this or that way its daft and wrong, if you played the game you know that better players and better teams and its just a fact of life if somebody is better at football than you nothing can really change they way they play , yes sometimes they can have off days or playing under par or with a injury so you maybe catch them out from time to time but the cream always rises to the top
manchester city have the best players in the premier league and the rest just have to play there own game and don't try to over think it and losing to somebody better is a fact of life, but never change and come and park the bus and defend then moan about the level and the money manchester city have
I like the way that we play.

You wouldn’t want to argue with any of those you mentioned, but especially Ben.
He is a fucking beast of a man.
