Since the media is struggling to find a way to give the rags the league they've named them the winners of the transfer window instead.

http://www.espn.com/soccer/blog/esp...la-a-loser-in-window-dominated-by-major-deals

So the big winners showed their mettle in getting dominated by Spurs and the big losers lengthened their lead to 15 points with a dominating performance against West Brom. If only City were as good as the rags...

So true.

I look at my dad these days. My frail old man. Took me to my first game when I was six and took me for many years after that.
The joy this team has given us, given my dad, this last ten years has made up for all the pain we suffered together.

Without being morbid he won’t have too long left my dad. My only dream now is for him to see city win the European cup (he still calls it that) with me sat next to him.

I tell you what blue, if that happens I’d never complain about anything for the rest of my life.

I love this club. I really do.

I normally watch for about a minute, but as I had a bit more time today I gave him two and a half
He said he's two years older than Lingard which puts him at 27

I think the next time we'll see him will be on "the Undateables"

I thought he'd be excellent for us, but he was ridiculously overpriced, especially when you consider what we paid for KdB. I still think he'd be good for us, but there's absolutely no way he's worth what the Rags would want. Mourinho's style doesn't suit him, but then again who does it suit, apart from Fellaini.

Do you think Pep would put up with him doing his dabiing and generally acting the cun.t.
 
Mourinho is the modern day Fabio Capello.

Since the dawn of Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, the "modern" tactical trends that most of the elite coaches utilise are Automatisms in attack and co-ordinated pressing schemes.

The exponents of these are Antonio Conte, Jurgen Klopp, Maurico Pochettino and of course, Pep Guardiola.

These coaches utilise elements of these despite having different philosphies and different training methodologies.

These two elements are present be it pressing high, mid or low and defending deep, mid or in a low block.

Attacking automatisms are important because they give the player with ball options and reduces improvisation. Football is played at a higher tempo and players have less time on the ball generally so it benefits them knowing what to do with the ball when they have it at their feet.

Manchester United have no attacking scheme so the players have to improvise when they have he ball which means that thier attacks are disorganised.

He also relies puts the creative burden usually on a single player and this has been a hallmark in a lot of his teams.

Deco at Porto, Sneijder at Inter Milan, Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid, Cesc Fabregas at Chelsea and now Pogba at Manchester United. When any of these players are cut off his team have no idea what to do with the ball and nd look like drunkards.

These playes weaknesses are amplifier under him because they have to constantly improvise and when it fails they hAve no system to fall back on.

Pogba under Pep Guardiola would have been a phenomenon. It's a shame his talent is being wasted.

100% not. He does it there as they love all that shite, anything that distracts from the shite they're playing.
