Think Kovacic is the big difference at present from what we were seeing.....he has energy at least when moving forward....He is carrying the ball forward at least and making positive runs. he aint creative or a goal scorer - but then again he never has been so thats fine - but it is him providing a lot of energy in the middle of the parkYeah, De Bruyne is far from being the player he once was, but his presence seems to inspire others .... Foden , great shot from range, but little else from him ..... Gvardiol once again really poor, bottom of the MEN player ratings ..... Akanji has been better in days gone by.
Haaland was more prominent than usual , good goal too ....McAtee did very well when he came on, Kovacic did okay throughout ...... it certainly wasn't the greatest performance from City, but neither was the one from Leicester, and at least we got the goals to win it.
That's the reality at the moment. But Pep had a glint in his eye by the end there and he will know what to do going forward. We need to be in a position where we are competitive and very difficult to beat. Buy a player or two in the coming window and it can give us that platform.Come on, I hate the fuckers too, but they're head and shoulders above everyone else in England this season on basically every metric.
He’s very worrying at the minuteGvardiol made more than one error ....
Merry Christmas to you tooThat must be because you only read the negative parts like you clearly have done here...you cant even acknowledge there was a positive part of the post that actually came first.....
Mindset has nothing to do with sticking up for your club or not (thats the result or action from the midseet)....its about how you interpret information/actions.....clearly you look for the negative...maybe because you are defensive of the club...but there is no need to be. The criticism you have focussed on is just as valid as the positives that you clearly missed.
Merry Xmas
Nearly all of them did. Only Aké, Savinho and McAtee didn’t make an error today.Gvardiol made more than one error ....
Was literally just thinking that Pep at the end had the look of someone who is going to have A LOT of fun making everyone eat their words again next season.That's the reality at the moment. But Pep had a glint in his eye by the end there and he will know what to do going forward. We need to be in a position where we are competitive and very difficult to beat.

The thing is with Lewis. He is undoubtedly fantastic with the ball at his feet, however in my honest opinion, he lacks the physical presence and positional awareness to be a high level defender or even a holding midfielder. Much better suited as a 10 but obviously pep knows more than I do so I blindly trust him and hope he will improve defensively
He looked emotional, it’s like he really caresWas literally just thinking that Pep at the end had the look of someone who is going to have A LOT of fun making everyone eat their words again next season.
