It was one of the most surprising notifications I had received on my phone for a long time. It honestly came out of nowhere. Cancelo’s loan move was something which even a seasoned punter would not have sniffed at. My first thoughts were of thinking about the situation behind the scenes. Rarely have we seen City take such decisions in a hurry. Normally, City would have waited until the summer...
The reaction of everybody after the match was quite bizarre to say the least. Most of the people in the footballing world seemed to play down the result. It seemed as if the majority was trying to find excuses for Arsenal’s loss. I have read articles in reputed papers stating this match will not have an impact on the Premier League title race. People were having all sorts of excuses...
The way City moved the ball gave me goosebumps at times. The performance was like an orchestra that was directed by the master himself. There was great exuberance in the way City executed this melody composed by Pep Guardiola. The positional structure, the passing, the movement, the homogeneity between players, everything was so perfect. In fact, the perfection of this performance made you wonder if this was truly real. Mahrez...
Transfer windows are never really a benchmark to judge Pep Guardiola. In fact, when the window doesn’t go well, it motivates Pep to innovate and take the game to an other level. Last season we went for Harry Kane and put in bid after bid till the very end. When we didn’t get him, all our rivals went hammer and tongs stating that City without a striker would struggle. Well,...
As the final whistle echoed through Wembley, there was strangely a sense of calmness in Pep’s eyes. I strongly feel that this defeat would not have hurt him as much as the pundits and media made of it. By now, you might be thinking that i am out of my mind and writing rubbish. But, if you look at City’s upcoming schedule and take into account what happened at Atletico,...
Yestreday’s defensive performance would have even made the strongest of hearts beat vigorously. It was like an accident waiting to happen every second. John stones had the worst pass completion rate and Laporte was beyond crap. I don’t understand what it is with Laporte that he has these lapses in concentration suddenly. We saw it against Crystal Palce in October and also against Spurs in that loss at the Etihad....
Most people believe that Southampton is where the decline of Man City’s fabulous form began. It seemed like a normal premier league game where we would be comfortable in the end. But, i must say that nothing about that game was comforting. It would have been okay for me if we had lost that game due to Southampton scoring a penalty or nicking a set peice. But, the worrying fact...
City started off the match with a lot of confusion among its fans, specially with many feeling that City are in deep trouble due to the Covid outbreak. All those doubts were put to rest when the teams came out. City put out a team that could easily have even beaten Bayern Munich. The team was that strong. The Swindon players would have surely been start struck by the players...
City’s Covid outbreak is said to have effected atleast 7 first team players and upto 12 members of City’s coaching staff including Pep Guardiola. Amid this crisis of sorts, few of our academy players are said to be given the nod in the FA cup game. Apart from the usual suspects like Cole Palmer and James Mcatee, Kayky is the name that stands out, given his progression to train with...
