MoPo has done an amazing job imagine if he was backed with big funds by the board, they would be up there challenging Chelsea, best manager in the league for me.

Amazing how far tottenham have come under him in a few seasons with minimal spending.

Yep, he's got the balance just right.

Assume City will start Jesus and Ageuro tomorrow tearing into Swansea.

They looked amateur in the CL this season. Will be interesting to see how they do over the next few years when people start expecting trophies and ease up on the pats on the back for trying hard.

That's abit OTT, especially when you consider what Yaya has managed to do.

4-1 City with Jesus scoring a hattrick.

Apparently Bravo is a "fantastic goal keeper" according to Gary Neville.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #490 on:** February 5, 2017, 01:16:14 pm »

Swansea will do well to avoid a kicking today. Man City have scored 7 in their last 2 matches.

RK7 · « **Reply #491 on:** February 5, 2017, 01:27:21 pm »

City could be a frightening prospect if they sort the defence out. That front line has pace to burn, the likes of De Bruyne and Silva given space to operate will hurt teams.

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #492 on:** February 5, 2017, 01:29:11 pm »

I'm going for a 3-2 away win

Agree, that front 3 is rapid, plus great vision behind. If they can sort the defense out, they should be a much tougher prospect next season.

We did well against them though, didn't give them a sniff.

Sarge · « **Reply #494 on:** February 5, 2017, 01:33:01 pm »

Why can we not find players like de Jaysus?

Yep and you know they will spend millions on my dreadful defenders.

This kid Gabriel is going to score a fucking lorry load for City. Before he ends up at Barca that is.

Well, better find something else to watch then. These shit bags had 26% possession and beat us. Pathetic

The fee they paid for him will probably end up looking like a bargain.

Shite back four for city though. midfielder at full back, full back at centre back, clichy and stones.

their midfield are all poor off the ball too.

keep it to 1-0 for a while, and swansea could nick a draw through set pieces and quick counter attacks. city are just as bad as us in both of those respects

"Manchester City have signed 19-year-old Brazilian winger Gabriel Jesus from Palmeiras for £27m plus add-ons"

£27m for the highest rated young player in World football is a phenomenal deal these days.

City moving this ball round very quickly in final 3rd Swansea simply can't deal with it

We played right into their hands with the 2/3 touches ponderous stuff

This is what we need to get back to

They mix it up quite well whereas we cant. Pace and width of Sane and Sterling mixed with the skill and movement of Silva, De Bruyne and Jesus. Bastards
