What do you like the most?

We look like a professional, well coached, football team again, rather than a bunch of individuals playing off the cuff, with no clear plan or identity. We could probably discuss the tactical changes all day, but the thing that's especially pleasing me is the togetherness and team spirit that has been so obvious so far. If you have that, you have excellent technical players, a genius as a manager, a clearly defined tactical plan and the fitness to implement it, you'll take some stopping.
 
Not seeing great big spaces in the middle of the park for the opposing team to run in to absolute joy to see that has gone.
 
I like the fact I no longer go to games thinking that we need to get an early goal or we're in for a tough afternoon of struggling to break down a packed defence.
 
have we been behind this season? I think we always scored the first goal and won all games as well.

Want to see how we react when we go behind. Maybe better if it happens vs a smaller team first than than in a huge game.
 
i like the fact that it seems Pep has a genuine desire to bring some of the young lads through. Loved seeing Garcia come on for the last 20 yesterday.
 
Workrate. That more than anything else.

No more watching players wandering around the pitch. No more watching players lose possession then expect someone else to pick up the pieces.

I love it that we don't give the opposition a second on the ball especially in their own half. In the first 20 minutes today we must have intercepted or delflected at least 10 attempted passes in their half and that has never happened under the previous regimes. We have always been a team with goals in us (at least in the last 5 years) but we haven't been a team that works it's bollocks off to win the ball back and I love that.

At one point yesterday I turned to T next to me and said, "Last season we wouldn't have bothered until they were well over the halfway line!

Completely different approach and clearly one that suits the personnel we have.
 
I love our new manager's philosophy - so simple ("I hate not having the ball") and the way he has got all the players buzzing to carry it out.
I also like the excitement of going to the game and feeling genuinely intrigued as to what he does next.
I also feel so lucky to be able to see such a fantastic bunch of attacking players in one team ... Dave, Serge, KdB are already City giants and Fern, Raheem and Gundogan are not far behind.
Having watched City for 40 years I'm in absolute heaven - we have the best manager in the world and some of the best players ever to have graced not just our shirt but also the top flight of English football : unbelievable !!
 
Being managed by best manager in the present game
Willingness of all the players to work hard including the big ones
Great team spirit
Performances of sterling stones otem and kolorov in particluar
Playing attractive brand of football
 
The last time I saw this much togetherness and work rate was from the halcyon days of Mercer and Alison.Dare I say it,that KDB is now becoming our new Colin Bell.So much similarities,stamina,work rate,the eye for a pass ... so uncanny.We are so blessed to have him at our club.
 
Players giving 100% tracking back, Otomendi staying on his feet ( mostly) Sterlings jinking runs, Stones on the ball prowess, KDB's intelligence, Kolarov's 2nd coming, and a manager who has an obvious joy and passion for the game that is infectious
 
Work rate. If we put in the effort we have each match so far & lose I won't be half as pissed off as last season when half the goals we conceded were down to individuals just not being bothered to work hard.

Seeing incredible talents like De Bruyne & Silva work their ass off to win the ball back is fantastic to see.
