Milan 17,956 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 City are playing some quality football and are getting all the lucky touches/deflections. Everything going their way at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 There should be a trophy for the team who finish second this season. Can't fault City but they (and Lady Luck) are making the title race this season extremely dull. communicate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 He's not the better player, obviously i'd sooner have Hazard for one season than Sterling for five, but this season Raheem is so much more productive than I think Hazard's ever been. But, if Hazard played for City...he might get a goal and assist every single game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if Hazard played for City...he might get a goal and assist every single game. I'm not sure what you mean by productive. Last season Hazard had more keypasses from open play than any other player in Europe's top 5 leagues but yet had only 5 assists which says a lot about his teammates. Sterling has never come close to that. https://www.whoscored.com/Articles/pIE68Mj2lU6L-wBGAJVziw/Show/European-Team-of-the-Season-ST-Eden-Hazard-(Chelsea) It's easy to be productive as a forward when you play for a team that has scored 42 goals in 13 games, totally dominates the ball (averaging 63% possession) and creates chances for fun. Sterling can afford to score a lot of tap-ins this season thanks to that brand of football. Hazard at this stage last season had 9 goals in the league. Let's see if Sterling can continue to score. Even in this insanely stacked City side its very likely he regresses to the mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I think city does improve their play a bit compare to last season. That make sense in 2nd year with relatively the same squad. But having a good GK and good fb for me has been the key for them. Last season I remember how they concede plenty of cheap goals from simple long ball. Looks like it will not happen often this season because their fb are not slow anymore. Now they can provide cover for their CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Fabregas had to retake when players were blatantly encroaching into the area for the penalty, but apparently that rule doesn't apply for Aguero and Citeh players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmk108 1,186 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I completely forgot Lamela was a Tottenham player. He could play for the first time in over a year tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 How on gods green earth did Lukaku get away with that kick out on Bong? Not only that but he did something similar against Liverpool earlier in the season. Laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,956 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 As if Watford did not want to participate AT ALL. At least Leicester can make us happy for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City is off the reach, but United? We are 3 (hopefuly we win tomorrow) points behind them. Its not something we cant catch. Our target must and have to be 2nd place. If we keep up with them in december, then it will be january window. Althrough I dont believe we will make any big moves, its still opportunity to get more depth. Should be more than enought to finish ahead of United who are already beatable. Winning against swansea and nufc will be very important, united plays arsenal away and city at home City tho...

Honestly haven't even looked at the table recently so didn't know we'd only be 3 points behind United with a win tomorrow. You're right, they are still easily within reach and I'm seeing they have Arsenal at the weekend. Hopefully Conte doesn't rotate too much tomorrow. Must win against such a terrible opponent. Can't afford to think we can stroll in and walk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Great win by Leicester, knew and had a feeling Spurs would lose this game. They would completely fucked if Kane gets injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
