Feels like City have had about 95% possesion. The way they ping and pop the ball around with every single player in their side (keeper included) extremely good on the ball still makes me jealous. Almost a rarity to see City players taking more than a couple of touches and most of their play is intricate one touch football.

This is the sort of stuff I doubt we'll see under Frank sadly. He's not as maniacal or proficient at coaching this stuff.

As much as I love lampard, I would love to see poch here, he turned that spurs team into a force on shoe string budget.

Some might say that Poch won nothing with them spurs, but he def made them alot better, they could press they could defend and attack, good enough at set pieces etc....and he spent little compared to others around them. Fought for the title in 15-16 and 16-17, got to 2 finals. He is more than capable.

Why should Poch move to us, when he said he will not go to a rival team?

He once said he will not manage Barcelona because of his past ties with Espanyol but recently, he came out and backtracked on those comments, basically saying he regretted what he said about not taking the Barcelona job. So...

This. Hopefully, people understand how city play. Why they can  get away of sometimes playing with no dm. They are completely dominant most of the time, the opp barely has a sniff and they are creating at will.

I'm not put off because he won nothing, i'm put off because he's shit in the market (arguably worse than Conte), his brand of football is nowhere near as amazing as people make out, he struggles to consistently beat the lesser sides (the main reason they lost out to us and especially Leicester) and there's huge question marks over his ability to keep his cool when it truly matters.

It might not be super amazing yes, but its efficient enough. Yes he must be better at transfers I agree but overall not a bad shout.

Training this season is aiming at the hands within the area.

Forget the goal.

This, it is absolutely mental, hearing some pundit defending this rule is mind boggling, penalty is the easiest way to score in football. There has to be a high standard before you can be given one otherwise, it is better to look for penalty rather than trying to score goals.
