All I’m talking about is dominance on the pitch. Some of these title wins vs Liverpool going down to the wire or even Arsenal behind behind by 8 points where they are not allowed to make one slip up in order to catch up shows a lot of CL metal.All through cheating and corruption. Never forget that. This City side are nothing like Sir Alex’s teams, as much as the media would have you believe otherwise.
What was the last time an English team completely destroyed a top tier Spanish team like that?
We destroyed Betis 4-1 at Old Trafford last month
Betis isn't a top tier Spanish team. Madrid, Barca, Ateltico.
So where's Carlo off to?
Harsh on Southampton, they at least scoredThis City team is incredible.
Genuinely made Real Madrid look like Southampton.
Probably Liverpool 2008/09 also against RM.What was the last time an English team completely destroyed a top tier Spanish team like that?
City were bound to win the CL at some point. It's almost unbelievable how they missed their opportunities to reach the final before.
What I fear the most is that they won't stop here. If Pep stays, they could build a dynasty
But now, I hope ETH finds the way to beat them in the FA Cup. How? I have no clue...
Probably when Liverpool blasted Real Madrid in 2009 with peak Fernando Torres and a dominant Steven Gerrard.What was the last time an English team completely destroyed a top tier Spanish team like that?
That is testament to Arsenal and Liverpool way more so than it is City, who obviously cheated to get here. It's farcical.All I’m talking about is dominance on the pitch. Some of these title wins vs Liverpool going down to the wire or even Arsenal behind behind by 8 points where they are not allowed to make one slip up in order to catch up shows a lot of CL metal.
I do wonder if Pep fancies staying at city for the next 15 years and dethroning United and Liverpool. Personally I don’t believe it but as long as Pep is there this city team will not be going away.
Not surpised by this.
The standard across-the-board in European football is at a very low ebb in my opnion. There's just not a great spread of top class players anymore across the top teams.
Hopefully the same way we beat them in January. Little bit of luck, decision go our way
Now tell us how you really feel.He can feck right off, any half decent manager with the money he has spent could have done the same, he deserves feck all
Liverpool VS Barca at Anfield 2019?
Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona maybe? Same scoreline anywayWhat was the last time an English team completely destroyed a top tier Spanish team like that?
Madrid and Barca still have top players, regardless of the performance tonight, but the rest are all over here.
Liverpool thumped real 5-0 when benitez was in charge.Betis isn't a top tier Spanish team. Madrid, Barca, Ateltico.
He's not a left-back, and the 30M they paid was a bargain.
weird i thought it was impossible to find strikers for less than 100 million? How much did city pay for alvarez hmmm
Other oil clubs like Chelsea and PSG have never played as well as City does and I think they've had more than one "half decent manager"He can feck right off, any half decent manager with the money he has spent could have done the same, he deserves feck all
Last 5 years…. City spend £660m, Utd spend £685mHe can feck right off, any half decent manager with the money he has spent could have done the same, he deserves feck all
Nah, this period reminds of 2000-2005/2006. Then you had a few years where some really top class players came to the fore across Europe.
Standard of European football overall was quite poor then, too many disjointed teams with aging players and nothing of note coming through.
Seems to be that way again now.
Fair point, but look what we bought and what they bought.Last 5 years…. City spend £660m, Utd spend £685m
Last 5 years…. City spend £660m, Utd spend £685m
We didn't have a half decent manager for most of that time though.Last 5 years…. City spend £660m, Utd spend £685m
We destroyed Betis 4-1 at Old Trafford last month
Understandable you’re gutted but there’s no denying Pep hate him or otherwise is a top manager.Fair point, but look what we bought and what they bought.
Fair enough Pep is a good manager.
The thought of City winning the Treble is gutting
Other oil clubs like Chelsea and PSG have never played as well as City does and I think they've had more than one "half decent manager"
Dunno, who knows?Is this including all the off the books payments, agents fees, etc?
Guardiola didn't need more than 3 years to assemble a team to really play his system. They smashed the Premier League in his second season, getting a 100 points, scoring 106 goals.One that stayed there for more than 3 years to assemble a team really play his system? Which managers are you thinking of.
Exactly, unfortunately there lies the problem.We didn't have a half decent manager for most of that time though.
Southampton beat CityThis City team is incredible.
Genuinely made Real Madrid look like Southampton.
It's not just the manager though city have a great setup in terms of scouting, academy and making transfer decisionsOther oil clubs like Chelsea and PSG have never played as well as City does and I think they've had more than one "half decent manager"
United dispatched Barcelona and now City dispatched Real Madrid. Are there any doubters left that the EPL is the strongest league on the planet?
