Thomas Tuchel shock move to Bayern 0

Tuchel shock move to Bayern!

Today morning, I got a notification on my phone as I lay half asleep on my bed pondering whether to get up or sleep 10 minutes more. All of my sleep went away as I read the news and rubbed my eyes in disbelief. It just cannot be possible. Julian Nagelsmann could not have been sacked. Bayern were not at all having a poor season. In fact if they defeated...

Spurs vs Man City 0

City are going through transition!

This is not the first time City have lost away to Spurs under Pep. In fact we have won titles without even scoring a single goal in Spurs new stadium. But, this time it feels completely different. It hurts more than it did in all of those previous years when we lost against Spurs. Ironically, it’s not today’s defeat that hurts. It’s the manner of how we lost. We looked...

Joao Cancelo leaving City 0

What message does Cancelo’s departure send out?

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...

Man City interested in Girona Right back Arnau Martinez

I was checking all of the latest transfer news related to Man City today. To be honest, I was not expecting to find much. You anyway don’t get much on a Sunday evening. But, it was surprising to find us linked with Arnau Martinez (https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumor-manchester-city-keen-signing-barcelona-target-20-million-release-clause-reports). What caught my eye even more was the fact that Barca are trying very hard to sign him. As I went through the profile of...

Man City vs Arsenal 0

What did we learn from Pep’s battle with Arteta?

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...

Gabriel Jesus 0

Was selling Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal a good idea?

This question was bothering me to the core in the last few weeks. Let’s be honest, it would have bothered all of us in a much lesser way if Arsenal had not been challenging us for the title. In fact, there would be no debate on it if Arsenal were not in this commanding position. You will probably find that there is no straight answer to this question among our...

Pep Guardiola vs Mikel Arteta 0

How will Pep Tactically outplay Arteta?

All of this feels Surreal when you glance back in time to the days Pep and Arteta used to tactically plan the downfall of opponents together. Time just glides by you so quickly that you don’t even realize it. It still feels like yesterday for me, but the pupil has grown big enough to stand on his own feet now. Arteta seems ready to look at Pep eye to eye...

Man City formation 0

Is Pep Guardiola moving towards a back 3 system?

It seemed like the centurions season happened just yesterday. But, time flies by so fast and you never quite realize the value of it till the very end. All of you might wonder why am I talking about the centurions season now. In fact, that season is far from the way we are playing right now. The connection is surely there between then and now. If you all remember, Pep...

Man City vs Chelsea FA cup match 0

Man City put on a rhythmic display at the Etihad

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...

Man City players look hungry 0

City look sharper than ever before Liverpool tie

I know that people looking at the headline might be thinking that I am out of my mind. I mean City have just played one friendly against Girona and nothing more. To be honest, I have not taken anything from the Girona game to come up with this statement about City’s sharpness. In contrast, my keen observation has been on Pep’s body language and the way he is speaking at...
