3 big, big defeats for Man City in the space of 6 days.

That's one (valid IMO) criticism Guardiola gets: his teams only play one way and there is no plan 'B'.

Thankfully for him, it does work most times, esp in long championships where these slumps only cost a few points. The issue for City however, is that despite all the money they spent, and having some great players (some quite young too), they also have a few duds.

Fernandinho for me is a 'no'. I'm brazilian (originally) and dislike his game very much so. Otamendi is not good enough on the ball at this level, and like Cahill, it hurts him at times. Sometimes it's not about the number of mistakes one makes, but rather the skill level to handle difficult situations. Walker, so far, has been a complete flop at this level - looks completely out of his depth.

Anyone but Liverpool now. We won't hear the end of it for 20 years if they win this shit.

Anyways, so much for this historic, "best PL side in history" Man City side. Their season will end no better than our did last season, really. Their season will be remembered just like any random title winning season. Nothing extraordinary.

I bloody hope so.... Can see it happening though.. Yay...

agree, no Liverpool pls, i rather Roma clinch it, but you just feel it will be Bayern or Real

Klopp just showed what as a manager you can do to take a team with average players( so you would think) to turn them into a great team!

Our players should hang in shame. Also helps when you have a manager that doesn't complaint too much and is up for a challenge.

heh there is nothing average about salah these days (further proof to be coming in the summer): he makes everyone around him better. And FIrmino is an excellent striker - bulked up nicely which allied to his good technique makes him a handful. Good players with good technique who can move and be physical makes them a good side.

I still think it's a one-player team. If Salah is suspended or injured, they will be in big trouble. Out of the 5 goals they scored against City, he scored 2 and assisted another... and the most important ones at that.

Roma showed that you can only win a game if you play to win. Give yourself a fucking chance to be in a special day....

Worth two Girouds, was superb last night.

Fairplay to them for knocking those cunts out, hope they go on and win it

[Milan 17,859]

Juventus 2-0 up at HT. Surely not?  It would be stunning if both Spanish giants lost a 3 goal advantage.

To think several thought he'd be nothing more than a bench player had he joined. Miles ahead of what we have

[Milan 17,859]

There you go, Juve 3-0 up!
