Media Thread - 2021/22

What Barnes and all the other thick f*ckers mean is City have a better squad. Only Chelsea come anywhere near City in that aspect.

but then if they compared all 25 ours would be inferior in their opinion.

IF we are 12 points clear come Saturday afternoon I fully expect the media to go into overdrive with City bingo and how unfair it is other clubs can't compete with us

If we can win the next two games and the Chelsea\Liverpool game is a draw the media and red top clubs will hopefully go into the most entertaining popcorn fuelled meltdown we have ever seen.

Another setback for the chasing pack the night before, City play tonight, and the BBC website usual midweek football morning rolling news updates/last night analysis and comment are absent.

that’s the 2nd time I’ve noticed it this season. It certainly wasn’t absent when the opposite happened this season.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Our squad has only 20 players, 17 outfield players, no recognised striker and no specialist left back.

Not one person question anyone who say this in the media!!

Like “what do you mean a bigger squad when all teams have a 25 man squad?”

For me it’s the squad build over the last 5/6 year under Pep and him involving everyone coaching them into our system so when they play they fit in seamlessly look Great! Where as Klopp plays there fringe players very sparingly plus he ain’t a good of a coach as pep and the style of play is harder to fit into.

Some journalist, can’t remember who, pointed out that with Mendy and Torres gone City now had one of the smaller squads with only 17 senior outfield players. Haven’t counted to see if he’s right

 

[East Level 2]

Why is the MEN reporting City fans as thinking the title race is done? I don't know a single City fan that thinks this. How can they be so moronically disconnected?

Because if it was the rags or dippers 6 points clear then the fans and their fans in the media would all be stating the title race was over.
Fortunately we aren't like rags or dippers.

It's right. 17 outfielder players and 3 keepers

Cole and Mcatee don't count as they are under 21

17 if you don't count Mendy or Palmer...

We also always have two keepers on the bench so obviously Ederson will at some stage be required to help out in defence or midfield.

Would love to see this.... Would also love the media meltdown about disrespecting the opposition ....
