YGabbana Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I don't understand why City are so lethargic and almost refuse to attack. This was a semifinal of the champions league - if I were a City fan I'd be furious. They could have at least tried to win. My thoughts exactly, seemed like a friendly game to them. No attacking threat at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the amount of money they have spent they have been frustrating and boring quite a lot of the time. for all the money they have bought a pile of shit except De Bruyne in recent seasons. their centre midfielders Fernando, Fernandinho, Toure and the rocket polisher would be nowhere near the squads of the top teams. dont get me started on the defence then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yes quite true, Pellegrini has signed one good player really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I dont think Pellegrini has much say on player signings if honest, doubt he would have went for Delph and Sterling if he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both are good at what they do but the top teams have a player who offers more than that in centre midfield. Compare them to say Modric tonight. City dont have a midfielder of that class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2016 Agree with that, although I'd argue there's not many teams in the world, if any, that have a midfielder of Modric's quality. He's an amazing player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 City's biggest issue for years has been a lack of real quality in the heart of midfield. Yaya at his best was exceptional but that tended to come when he played further forward and not sitting and dictating play. I think the biggest signing they will make will be that type of player (I'm guessing a cheeky bid for Isco) because they are essential in Guardiola's system.

Stevo985 Posted May 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2016 Isco would also be an incredible signing. Wouldn't be sure Madrid would let him go though. he and Modric run that team, despite all the plaudits Ronaldo gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) curtains for Delph. Where will he end up? Liverpool? Palace? Or outside the 25 man squad for another 5 years? Edited May 5, 2016 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
