Sadly I think you are right. I cant see how Newcastle will be allowed to win. As Pep says Newcastle are going to have to do it on their own

This is not the worst City side, this is the best City side ever. There are 2 internationals for every position. The quality has never been better. Haaland is the best striker in world football. De Bruyne is the most creative player in world football. You can go through the whole team and not find one weak link. There are no McTominay's or Maguires in the current squad. The problem is not the personnel, it is a combination of complacency, attitude and a bit of Pep tinkering. Also, it would seem that the World Cup took something out of a few players, and I don't know why? (Foden)

There is a huge difference between Ten Hag and Ole. Ten Hag plays aggressive football, they win the ball off the opposition. When they loose it, they get it back quickly. They play on the front foot, always going forward, always direct. Also helps with some of the characters signed in the summer. Casemiro and Martinez. He's also fucked off all the Diva's. Anyone not willing to graft gets binned. Attacking players are allowed to make mistakes, because they have the aggressive press behind them when they lose the ball. When Rashford or Antony fuck up, Casemiro is right in behind them to win the ball back. You could liken it to City of 2 seasons ago with Fernandinho. When you have that safety blanket behind you, it gives confidence to creative players.

For his first 2 seasons, Ole played with everyone behind the ball, they let the opposition have all of the possession and held their shape, and as soon as the opposition made a mistake they would counter attack them. They would have 30% procession, 2 shots on goal and win the game. (Remember that lockdown derby) They would fluke wins. Ole came unstuck when he tried to play higher up the pitch and have more procession, because it exposed Maguire's lack of pace. They got battered when they tried to go toe to toe with anyone.

When did Ortega, Lewis, Gomez & Palmer get their international caps?

Come on mate, you’re on a City forum, so at least do your research before posting

Do you think Ten Hag will win any trophies for your lot, starting with tomorrow?
 
Melissa Reddy and Ten Bob talking about Casemiro and Varanes personalities and attitudes to winning trophies because of their reaction after the Barca game, I guess it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact they have strong Real Madrid connections at all.
