The summer transfer window could not have begun in a more serene manner for all the City fans. To be fair, we have confirmed the best signing of this window even before other teams could blink their eye lids. This fast and ruthless approach has been one of the key factors in our dominance of the Premier League. The beautiful thing about our transfer policy is how we have managed...
It all began with Kyle Walker getting injured in a night full of bruises at Atletico Madrid. Ever since, it seems as if every match demands a sacrifice from one of our defenders. At this rate, we might need to play Gundogan and Bernardo Silva as our Center backs against Aston Villa. I am very sure that every other team including Liverpool would have suffered immensely if their back line...
Everything against Newcastle was going so well until half time. We were leading 2-0 going into the break and it felt so much better after that demonic experience at Madrid. I was sitting there in the break and thinking about the character we have shown in the tie. It was a very soothing feeling at half time in what has been a pressure cooker in the last couple of months....
The news of City’s interest in Pogba was one of the most surprising notifications on my mobile screen this morning. My initial reaction was to think that it was all rubbish and i set about verifying the sources. To my surprise there were a lot of tier-1 Journalists reporting this. An other interesting thing about this rumor is that it was coming from multiple sources at once. Now, for all...
Playing Leeds has been such an enjoyable experience in the last few years. It was always an end to end game with breathless football. Marcelo Bielsa didn’t care about the opponent. He expressed his football in a way only the most brave and courageous could do. We had reaped the benefits of it in the home game against them this season. The 7-0 battering of them is fresh in my...
Gabriel Jesus has not been in the best of form heading into this clash against Watford. In fact, i did not have him in my predicted line up before the game. It was surprising for me to see his name in the lineup, but i thought that Pep was resting players like Mahrez for the Madrid game. To put it all together, it was a game where most people had...
City’s defense has been outstanding in the recent weeks and if not for the solidity at the back, we could have easily been out of the Champions League. But, all of this has come at a huge price. I am now starting to worry about the thread bare options we have been left with at the back. Specially the injury to Walker is something that will impact us both offensively...
The title race in 2018-19 was the ultimate pressure cooker test i have witnessed. The most surprising fact was that neither of City or Liverpool wilted under the immense pressure and the footballing world was stunned with the fact that both the teams maintained a perfect record in such difficult circumstances. This title race takes me back to the memories of that season and still gives me goosebumps remembering the...
It all started late last night. A lot of reports started pouring in about the transfer of Haaland to Manchester City. Many reports have said that the huge salary demand of Haaland has been agreed by City and the transfer is at its final stage. But, it is very hard to believe all of the reports on the web. Most of them are generally not true. I was looking for...
The last 7 days were some of the most grueling and harsh we have faced in recent memory. Specially the physical and mental battering in that Atletico second leg meant that it was almost impossible to turn up in that FA cup tie against Liverpool. Yet, it was a commendable performance for the sheer spirit we showed in the second half and almost snatched an unlikely equalizer at the end....
