ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 This has been a very entertaining game to watch, except for the commentators who give zero insight to tactics and just prattle on about complete nonsense.

Proper fans that murdered 39 Italians.... Johnnyeye and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,224 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) coming into this game: Since the 2017/18 campaign, Guardiola and Klopp’s men have claimed 438 and 412 points respectively from 182 matches – in City’s case that’s 100 more than any other Premier League team not named Liverpool. Since the start of the 2018-19 Premier League season, City have accumulated 338 points in the league, while Liverpool have won 337.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 It's good City and pool drew each their games 2-2 but we also drew both pool games and lost both city games, so overall we could have capitalised more. It is interesting how pool vs city usually are high scoring games while vs us it is usually (with exceptions vs lpool) a cagey affair. Tactically, we probably have a better defence than both with TT but our offensive players are just so much worse than theirs. There are 8 games left.... if we would win all of them which i consider possible though not probable we can still finish on 86 points. That would be a very strong 3rd place.

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Sad to think we were once where they were...now they've gone miles above everyone in perform and talent..most the time anyway.

Hopefully we can get back to their level eventually Because we had managers who preferred defensive work rate over technical ability. When in reality you can coach players in work rate but can't coach them in technical ability. Klopp and Pep have shown Mourinho how you can evolve. laura90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know firing manager for us has helped and its had to be done but each newbie had a different vision and style. They've both managed to build their teams and it shows laura90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a very strong 3rd place. you have to take into account that Citeh are missing arguably the best CB on the planet atm, in Dias I would take him over anyone if we are talking longer term, given the ages of VVD (turns 31 in early summer) and KK (18 days older than VVD) Marquinhos has bizarrely hit a real shit patch De Ligt would be my 2nd choice Milan Skriniar 3rd after those 6, the drop off is massive, unless you count a '''one game must win' where you could pick Thiago still (not sold on Bastoni due to his lack of pace atm, as he is nowhere near Thiago in terms of nous and positional play yet in his career) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Arse and Spuds, held us to a draw both times we played them and they looked excellent both times, drew impressively with Liverpool. All while playing great football. I think he’s destined for a top job soon. Johnnyeye and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
