Is Dusan Vlahovic a better alternative to Harry Kane?
If only sterling could finish a packet of crisps! Sterling and jesus have most of the attributes that are important to be a perfect Pep player. But finishing is not one of them and clearly it is the most important attribute to win big matches. City clearly had this in Mind and it is the big reason why we are going after Harry Kane irrespective of the price. It was...
Why are Pep and City so desperate for Kane?
As Raheem sterling missed yet an other open goal….as City crashed out of yet an other champions league quarter final….Pep was holding his head in his hands in utter dissapointment. Never has he felt so powerless…but this feeling was haunting him far too often in knockout competitions. His forwards have let him down beyond his wildest imaginations throughout his tenure at City. Even the mighty Augero was not clinical sometimes,...
Man City player ratings! Spurs 1- 0 Man City
Ederson – 6 Did not have much to do apart from a misjudged call to collect the ball from a Spurs set peice. He had no chance with the Son goal. I thought that he could have played more risky pases to try and break Spurs defense Benjamin Mendy – 4 (Poorest performance of the match) He was wasteful while going forward and looked cluless defensively. Did not know when...

Lack of energy and desire...

These were the intimidating situations that City was up against, and it seemed like this was the day when the Manchester rain would drown City’s title hopes. City were playing at...
Man City overcome Newcastle in Demanding conditions

The Curious case of Pep playing with a Pivot! Playing with 2 defensive midfielders against...
Ruthless City Push Arsenal further down the abyss
The memories of how Arteta put City out of the Fa cup were still kicking and alive in Pep’s Mind and Man city’s lineup was symbolic of how Pep planned to counter that threat. Playing with 2 central defensive midfielders against a team that had not scored at home since October was something that pep would have not dreamt of even in his worst nightmares, yet the defeat in the...
Mesmerizing Man City breeze past Marseille
As the final whistle echoed through the cold air of the wonderful port town of Marseille, Pep Guardiola let out a scream of delight over the performance of his team. This was a perfect response to all of those critics who thought that Pep’s days at City were numbered and the team would just slip into an abyss of darkness. The manner in which city demolished Marseille was complete in...
