One crucial difference between us and the other contenders, we have no leaders, no leaders or leadership on that pitch

Sterling at city. He missed chances yes but his numbers speak for themselves.

Sterling hit double figures in every campaign at the Etihad, exceeding 20 goals in three consecutive seasons between 2017 and 2020.

His total tally of 131 leaves him 10th on City’s all-time top scorer’s list, just one behind Billy Gillespie and Fred Tilson.

The forward entered the top 10 with his 127th strike in February 2022 when he netted a superb curling effort against Sporting.

His best goalscoring season came in 2019/20 when he was on target 31 times in all competitions and his overall tally of 131 is second only to record goalscorer Sergio Aguero (153) in the same period

The stick Raz gets is insane. People have short memories

We don't have lethal wingers anymore (I miss Mahrez & Sane so much) instead we have Savinho & Doku who are wingers that don't score. They should be backups for an actual starting top notch wingers. Also, our midfield is not threatening like it used to be.

Great player for us but my abiding memory is his miss of the century at Burnley

The other contenders have only won the league once and the other none in 20 seasons. Meanwhile the team that everyone is hammering is just off the back of another title.

The squad has plenty of leaders who have proven themselves over numerous years by winning everything.

The contenders can come back and gloat once they have achieved the same feats.

I was sat in my seat on Saturday still enjoying life and confident we'll come good again this season, we have however collected a few raggish fans who are more than disappointed they come across as entitled.

Is this the new us? Surely we are better than that?

Sterling was frustrating at times and it showed that amongst the stellar players we had at that time he was often the star that was misfiring most, However he was head and shoulders above many of our recent signings.

Interesting take from a Spurs perspective.

Dejan Kulusevski: “Because #ManCity have a lot of the ball sometimes, we can rest when we defend. There’s also so much space up there, we play one against one and then it’s always dangerous because we have a lot of quality..."
