Our January transfer window has been dominated by Julian Alvarez, who is reportedly very close to signing a deal for 18.5m Euros. People say that he is the next Sergio Aguero, but i think that all of those pre-mature comparisons are nothing but just a fantasy at this point of time. Alvarez has a lot to prove before we can think of comparing him to the legend. In fact, if...
It was nearly after 2 months of flawless football that City have dropped points. It was not a disastrous result by any stretch of imagination. It was a tough away game against a team who were tactically spot on. We didn’t even lose that game. It was a draw courtesy of the post and the usual Raheem Sterling madness. Expecting City to make this kind of mistakes week in and...
Not again Raheem!! That was my first exclamation at Sterling’s miss. Time seemed to stand still as Sterling received to tap the ball into an open goal, only for destiny to have other ideas in mind. How could he miss as easy a chance as that still bothers my mind. In the end 1-1 was a fair result on the balance of play. I thought Southampton were very good in...
“My coach told me that i would never make it at the top level”- Patrick Schick Amongst the buzz of Haaland, it is quite easy to miss the fact that there is a striker who has scored more than Haaland in Bundesliga this season. Patrick Schick has scored 18 goals from 16 appearences this season, which is a goal every 71 minutes. Going just by goal scoring records would be...
Right now, this question might seem like a non sensical one with Laporte having nailed down the starting spot alongside Dias. But, when it comes to the big games, i have a feeling that Pep is still not decided on the best partner for Dias. The primary reason for this is the fact that both Stones and Laporte offer significantly different qualities. The case for Laporte Pep has often said...
2 years ago, when Pep Guardiola asked a 16 year old defensive midfielder from the academy to join the first team training, it raised more than a few eye brows. The player in question had just joined the club a few months ago and i found it quite interesting that Pep had such a keen interest in someone who had spent just a few months at the academy. Also, a...
The amount of control this City team exhibits in a league known for its physical toughness, extreme competitveness and fixture congestion makes me think that we are even better than Pep’s Barca, which is considered as one of the greatest club teams ever. This statement might infuriate many Barca fans, but the more you think about it, the more you realize that this argument actually makes more sense than you...
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...
