Citeh will bore the arse off us with 1000 passes in the first half and then incoming shallacking second half. Anything else a billy bonus.

I honestly dont get the pundits who love to watch peps sides, frankly i find it a pretty dull affair. Liverpool (&utd of old) in their pomp a much better watch.

The only player i could watch all day is foden , the genuine article.

Problem sometimes watching City, same as it was when Barcelona were at their peak about 10 years back, is that they are so much better than the opposition. It can be a bit tedious watching them passing to each other instead of humping it aimlessly forward but, imo, that's to do with the fear the opposition have of them. Must admit if I was Guardiola I would want my side to destroy the opposition, not just beat them. But I guess a lot of the time it's about conserving energy to avoid burn out.

I watched their recent games against Arsenal and Monchengladbach and, tbh, they won both games comfortably but didn't really get out of second gear in either match----because they didn't need to.

We are not going to get done 5-0 like we used to, we might even score.

But if we win, I'd even join in a mass debate with BB & Pale

Back 5 in this one for me, or is it a back 7...

If we were to win, I'd more than likely render myself unconscious.

We’re not in top gear yet either, apparently. Just you wait, if we hit top gear this weekend we might even get in their half

The one thing we've got going for us imo is City's ridiculous winning sequence. What is it now ? 18 or 19 wins on the spin ? All I will say is that runs like that have to come to an end sometime.
